Helanie:
After I put on a beautiful golden knee-length dress and did my hair and makeup like a professional, just because I wanted to and I could, I left my room to find Norman in the living room. He was wearing a black suit and staring at the photo frames on the walls.
"Well, I thought the event was supposed to shock some people," Norman said, raising his eyebrow. "I didn't know you would be shocking me, looking so spicy," he added, smiling a little too flirtatiously.
I shot him a look because Vani was still around somewhere, and I didn't want to be overly flirty with my man in front of her. I was that shy. Then Norman's attention drifted back to the walls.
"They never had your pictures up," he said.
I scoffed. "Well, now we know why."
I gave him a look and he nodded. As soon as we turned around, after being told the guard was here with the car to escort us to the Royal Garden, I came face-to-face with Niles, and my skin tightened.
