SOPHIA

Next stop was the boutique for dress and shoes shopping. We were greeted by an attendant who took us around to see the dresses.

"Where's the changing room?" Mariana asks.

"Over there." The attendant points and excuses us.

"Alright, pick whatever interests you, let's see what suits you best."

After series of trying and changing, one particular dress catches my attention. Simple, yet it speaks volumes. For shoes, I picked silver heels.

Mariana got herself a dark purple dress with matching heels too. She signals for the attendant to come pick up the dresses and shoes that we selected.

We also pick matching purses and then head to the counter where she brings out her card to make payment for the items. They are then bagged and we exit the store.

"I'm hungry." She yawns as we drive back home.

"Do we get take outs or can you wait till we get back then I'll cook?" I ask, she has done alot today and it's 5:30pm already.

"I'll just get Chicken and Chips. A chilled can of Soda would be refreshing too, and besides we have just 2 hours left." We stop by at a nearby restaurant to buy the food and head back home.

"Finally!" Mariana says as she sits on the chair, sighing and stretching.

After eating and resting for a short while, we did the make up. I got to realize that was her own area of expertise. She helps dress and make you up. It's like a wand was moved across me because I looked like those million dollar glammed up girls.

"Alright, he'll be ready any moment from now." She says.

"You look perfect, heads will turn this night and they'll be just for you." She even looks more excited than I am.

"Thank you so much, Ana." I say, hugging her. We bonded quite well and she told me to call her Ana.

To be candid, I am very nervous. It's my first time being all glamed up for an occassion as big as this. Also, what will he think?

A knock sounds on the door and I could feel my heart beat, every single pound in my chest that it felt like it could burst anytime. I heave in a nervous sigh and look at Ana who gives me a nod, motioning to the door.

My hand touches the door knob and I paste a smile on my face, then gently open the door. My eyes meet his and for a moment everything stops. He looks at me from head to toe and smiles.

ANDRÉ

I receive a text from Mariana telling me Sophia would be putting on red, I needed this to have a matching color of tie with her.

It's 6pm already and I need to go home to freshen up. The thought of her getting all dolled up because of me, for some unknown reasons seemed to interest me.

I give myself a once over at the mirror and head for her room. Not prepared for what I was about to see, I knock on the door.

I hear movements and shortly afterwards, the door opens and I am completely captivated.

Picture of the dress Sophia wore.

The shoes.

We exchange eye contacts for a while, then my eyes leave her face to look at her and damn, I knew I could never take this sight off my mind.

Those legs had me thinking wild, the way the dress fit her perfectly, it was as though it was made specifically for her. I have seen beauty but hers is perfection.

I quickly smile to hide my emotions.
"You look very lovely." The complement is just 1% of what I have in mind.

"Thank you, you don't look bad, yourself." She says, blushing.

"Hello, the transformer is here." I laugh when Ana spoke. How did I not notice her since? Am I really asking that question?

"Hey!" I exclaim with excitement.

"Well, I understand. Enjoy the evening, I'll go in my car." She says and leaves us.

"Let's go, shall we?" I give her an arm and together, we descend the stairs. I look at her, ocassionally, appreciating the beauty before me.
