I had hoped for a different outcome, but his teasing chuckle only served to deepen my sense of dejection.“What were you expecting?” He asked, his tone teasing as he let out a small laugh. I turned red with embarrassment and I loved away from him, struggling to find the proper words to say to him. “I… no- I wasn’t expecting anything,” I stuttered. Before I could think of anything else to say, he moved closer to me, raised his hand and brushed the stray starves of my hair away from my face before tucking it behind my ear.

The makeup artists were also working at the same time, applying what looked like foundation and primer into my face, dabbing it into my skin until when it perfect early sat on it. They moved to my eyelids, telling me to close my eyes before lining them and putting eyeshadow on it. I opened my eyes and they coated my eyelashes with mascara, making them look longer and fuller than they naturally were, they put some blush on my face, highlighting my cheeks and giving a gentle glow.

It’s a dinner party to celebrate my mother’s birthday and we’ll be attending it together.

Maya’s POVWe finally got back to the mansion after what felt like hours and I stared at the house in appreciation. I still hadn’t gotten used to how magnificent the mansion looked. It was like a view out of the books and the soft glow of the sun setting bathed the building and as much as I’d hate to admit it, I loved living in somewhere as beautiful as this.
