Jasper:
I drove to her house with my black Mercedes Benz. I arrived at her doorstep; she was waiting outside her doorstep looking down. She looks really gorgeous; she let down her curvy reddish brown hair, and wore the white silk floral ball gown I bought her. It's imprinted with red, blue and pink apple blossom flowers and styled like a ballerina dress. I knew it will fit her perfectly when I first saw the dress. I stared at her until she gets into the car.
"Mr Hale, I guess we can go now."
"No, I want to see you." I said out blatantly. I gazed at her, until senses came knocking onto me. I let out a cough.
"Ahem, I mean, do you even put on make up?" I quickly thought of something to comment, besides her looking so perfect in that dress.
"You didn't say…" She whimpered.
"Ain't it even common sense? Forget it."
Bella:
When can I stop posing as his "spare" partner, every time he ditched a girlfriend and needs to attend an event, he will plead me to be his partner. It is really so embarrassing to attend dinners, or balls alone? I rolled my eyes at this thought.
We got off the car and walked towards the reception area, while the valet parked the car for Mr Hale. His right hand held onto my left hand, entangling it. And he shot me a gauche glance. We walked into the ballroom; everyone was engaged in their conversations, it seems like the ball was already started. Someone called for him and he asked me to get something to eat. I walked over to the table full of food.
"Bella!" I looked around for the source of the call.
"It's me, Edward." Edward was holding onto a cup of cocktail, while sipping it.
"Oh hi."
"Why are you here?"
"Working. How about you?"
"Oh my father-in-law wanted to introduce me to some great entrepreneurs, just open a business, here's my name card." He took out his name card and gave it to me. I took a look it says:
Mr Edward White
General Manager
T Company
He smiled with his fingers playing with a strand of my hair. You looked gorgeous tonight, Bella, if you're like this two years ago, and I might not have left you. He said softly through my ears. I could even feel his breathe. I walked away from him, hoping that I would not tear in front of him.
The past came through my mind again. I found out that Alice is the daughter of the CEO of T company, and with her good looks, that brat would definitely go for the rich and pretty, and not me who is wearing a geeky glasses and baggy clothing. I ran out of the ballroom and kneeled down beside the female restroom, and tears began dropping down.
"What are you doing down here? Shouldn't you be finding some clients for our company?" A loud familiar scream came from the top of my head. He mustn't see me in this state.
I tried to clear my throat.
"I'm sorry, Mr Hale."
"Stand up now." He demanded.
"I can't." I hugged my legs even more tightly. Suddenly, I felt someone tried pulling me up, the force was so strong. I stood up and tilted my face away. Luckily my face was covered by my hair.
"You are crying? Why are you crying? Who is the one that made you cry?" He yelled.
"Nothing."
"Come on, let's go home." He said with the most heart-warming tone.
"What about the ball?"
"Who cares?"
Jasper opened the door for Bella to step out of the car; she expressed her gratitude to Jasper for taking her back home and not asking her to endure till the end of the ball, which she couldn't. Jasper was still worried about her, he constantly asked about her condition in the trip back home.
"Have a rest and see you tomorrow." He took a careful glimpse of her before heading back to the car. She nodded her head. Bella opened the door, and sat on the floor crying out loudly, she couldn't endure it any longer. The car didn't move, it stood there, stationary. Jasper switched on his phone, and typed in a message.
Tomorrow I don't think I'll need cappuccino; perhaps get some more sleep, you're lovely today. – Hale
Suddenly Bella pouch vibrates; she took out her phone and saw the massage. She closed her phone and decided to get some rest after the long day.
Please help me to review! Thank you (:
