Two as OneChapter 12 Preparations
By. Lady Emerald
"What do think of this one?" Merle asked holding up a bright pink dress.
"I don't think that is really for me Merle."
"Ya, I see your point. Lets see what else do they have?" Merle said now talking more to herself then Hitomi.
Hitomi on the other hand was more interested in looking around the little shop. She headed towards the back of the shop only to find a small little rack of dresses.
"Do you like any of those, Miss?" the storekeeper said, startling her.
"Oh, I haven't really gotten a chance to look at them."
"Well, go a head and look. Take your time. Call if you need any help."
"Yes, thank you." she said quietly.
Hitomi slowly flipped through the dresses till one caught her eye. It was made of a dark, royal blue silk and was trimmed with gold. The shirt went down to the floor, the sleeves were made of that clear material, and it had a low, but not to low, neckline. It came with a belt that looked as if it were made of sapphires and diamonds. This was the one see wanted to have. She looked down and there was a pair of dark blue shoes to match. She picked up the dress and the shoes and when over to the jewelry case. She slowly scanned the items till she saw a necklace made out of sapphires and diamond with earrings to match.
"Perfect," she thought. "Merle, I found my outfit!"
"Really! Let me see! Wow! Lord Van is going trip when he sees you in that."
"Well, lets hope not, but I will be fun to see his reaction, don't you think?"
"Oh, ya. We better hurry if we want to get back in time for…"
"In time for what? Merle?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Sure. Whatever Merle."
"How are you doing Van?" Allen asked once Van looked like he was free.
"I am bored out of my mine with these people, but I guess that is the way it has to be. Hey, have you seen Hitomi?"
"Merle and her went off to find her a dress. Van, did you see that guy, Rigilo from Lustin talking to Hitomi earlier?"
"Yes, why?" he said with a hint of disgust.
"I don't exactly know, but something about him reminds me of…"
"Adris. I thought so too."
"We better keep an eye on Hitomi at the ball tomorrow just in case."
"I agree. Lets try and stay as close to her at all times."
"Agreed."
"Agreed on what?" came a sweet voice behind Van and Allen.
"Nothing too important I hope." Hitomi said with a smile.
"No not really." Van said. "Ah, man I wish I could take her right now, but refrain yourself Fanel. Not here and definally not now." He thought.
Little did Van know that two other males were thinking the same thing.
