For The Love of a Daughter

~ Invited~

I am tired as hell and we still got a lot of things to do tomorrow. I wish I wouldn't be so tired that I'll wake up late tomorrow. I swear my legs are going to give up.

Kylie and I, together with some other maids just came home from the mall. She only had five changes of outfits, but she bought the whole shoe section in the mall. I had no idea on what she was going to do with all those shoes. We had been walking since ten and it was now three in the afternoon. All I wanted to do was sit down and relax. If not because of my father, I wouldn't be doing this thing.

Thank God we would finally be able to rest. We just had to bring up the shopping bags and then we were free of Kylie…or so I thought.

I was about to go with Bree and Kaye, but Kylie called me back. What the hell does she need this time? Couldn't she give me a bit time to rest? Just a few more push, and she was going to be my personal hell. Guess being an only child made her like this. She craved for everything, for expensive dresses, shoes, jewelries, and of course attention. She wouldn't be requesting this grand party if she didn't want attention.

"Vanessa, please come here," she ordered in her fake sweet voice that she uses when she talks to her family. Well, she was always nice in front of them.

I plastered a fake smile on my face and then I turned to face her.

Looks like she had already changed into her normal clothes. She was wearing a designer floral dress and a peep toe shoes with one inch heels. She looked like she was going out than just staying home. I just don't get it. What's the purpose of dressing up when you were just going to hang out at home, surf the net, eat low carb snacks, and talk endlessly with your boyfriend and friends in your iPhone while all the people in the house were so stressed with preparing your part which would be held tomorrow?

"Here," she said while holding two shopping bags.

"What will I do with that?" I asked her in confusion.

"Go to my party tomorrow," she answered.

What was she planning? Why would she invite someone like me in her party? Wouldn't she be ashamed with her friends because she just invited a maid?

"But, I'm just a maid here," I insisted.

"You know, I like you. You helped me a lot with shopping earlier. It's like you've done shopping all your life, and you got great style. I wonder how you dress when you're no wearing that crappy uniform."

"I don't really think I'll be allowed to join with you. We've got a lot of work to do tomorrow."

"I'll talk to Carmen."

"But—"

"No buts. You can leave now; people from the spa will be coming here in a few to pamper me."

"And oh, bring a date, there will be a lot of dancing tomorrow, you don't want to be a wallflower," she added.

I didn't say anything anymore and I just nodded my head. I left her room that was pink all over. I didn't actually hate the color, but too much of it actually hurts me eyes. For me, green, blue, and purple are more soothing for the eyes. Well, they were the colors that you could see in my bedroom in Arizona. Oh how I miss the comfort of my bed.

I was happy that I got to leave early today. I called Jake and I told him that he could pick me up already. Maybe we could still hang out for an hour or two. I still have to ask him to be my date for tomorrow.

I went to the maid quarters so I could get my things and change my clothes. I also took that opportunity to look at the dress and shoes that Kylie gave me. God, I still need to make up a story so I could go home late tomorrow without Grandpa questioning me about it. He couldn't know that I was with the Cullens.

I was just wondering, if my mom knew that my father was living here in Forks, why did she still allow me to stay here. I mean, we could accidentally see each other in the grocery store, or in the mall. Didn't she really think I would search for him? Anyway, I was just thankful that she hadn't thought of that. Maybe she was just too busy with so many things to care if I see him.

Bree and I were the only maids who were not stay-in, but we still have our beds here in case we decided to spend the night. We share a double bed. Maybe one of these days, I could try to sleep here, tell Grandpa that I was having a slumber party at Jessica's.

When I had changed into my fresh clothes, a simple band tee that I got from my mom's closet in her room here and skinny jeans, I took the stuffs out of the shopping bags.

The dress looked so beautiful…and expensive. It was a pale blue chiffon gown with an empire waist that reaches past my knees. It was designed elegantly. It was bead on top and the fabric really felt so soft. I folded the gown and then I placed it back on the bag.

I looked at the shoes next. I opened its box and then I took them out to test them. I hope Kylie got my size, if not, I didn't know where I was going to get heels, and all of mine were in Arizona. The shoes were just simple silver pumps which were four inches high, I think. They slipped flawlessly in my feet, thank God. It had been so long since I had worn heels, but I managed to still walk on them perfectly.

Honestly, it had been my dream to have a party like this. Because whenever I am in these kinds of events, I feel like I'm in a fairytale. Oh, I think now, I am really going to have my fairytale because I already have my prince and he is calling right now.

I hurriedly fixed my things and I ran downstairs to go to Jake. When I got down, he was holding his phone with his hands and he was waiting outside his car.

"Jake!" I called him excitedly.

His face lit up when he heard me. I ran to him and then I gave him a short hug.

Even though he was just wearing simple tee and jeans, but he looked so hot because his tee was slightly fit and I could almost see his muscles. This guy surely loves to work out.

I think it was time to ask him already. "Be my date tomorrow?"

He looked at me confusedly. "For what?"

"Kylie's birthday. She invited me."

"Oh…I don't think I'll have something to wear for that kind of event," he said shyly.

"Oh…" I said in a disappointed tone.

I gave him the best puppy dog eyes that I could muster, and I think it succeeded.

"Fine…I think I could borrow from Seth or Paul," he said defeated.

"Yay! Thank you, Jake; you don't know how much you made me happy."

"As long as you're happy, I'm happy."

He was really the best best friend and boyfriend that any girl could ever have. Tomorrow would be fun…I hope.

Next chap will be the party, and it will be a bit emotional.

Leave a little review?
