Chapter Seventeen
Bella fiddled nervously with her hair as she appraised herself in the full length mirror. The dress she wore came to her mid-calf and was so deep in purple that it almost appeared black in some light.
She studied herself from head to toe, checking that her make-up wasn't smeared and that there was no lipstick on her teeth, and then moving her gaze lower, double checking that she hadn't missed any hair on her legs.
She turned to the side, keeping her eyes glued to the mirror as she check that her dress clung in all the right places and carefully hid all those spots on her body that she deemed as wrong places. The dress was semi tight, tighter than anything she'd usually wear, with a plunging neckline and a back which didn't appear until the base of her spine, allowing a flash of the curve of her backside.
Bella chewed on her lip as she considered whether or not the dress was too much for a work dinner and her stomach danced with butterflies. She was more nervous tonight that she had been on her first day at the studios.
It was ridiculous to Bella that she was so jittery over the upcoming evening. It was transparently clear that Sam wanted them caught on camera by the paps, but the reason why escaped her.

She checked her watch, thinking he was early and was astonished to realize that she'd been day dreaming for some time.
Grabbing her strappy purple shoes from the bed, she slipped them on, hurriedly, took a few test steps, and upon not falling on her backside, she dashed out to her awaiting 'date'.
