Getting to car Denny hopped into the passenger's seat taking my seat at the driver's seat
I received a message from Blake it read 'you sly girl you were with a kid after all' I laughed and started the vehicle we went to get ice cream then went to the beach
we walked played in the water even built a castle we ate sea food as lunch on a small restaurant by the beach
it was already late afternoon by the time we went home Denny fell asleep on our way home
Getting home I took him in my arms and started up to Paula's door and knocked I was holding Denny on my shoulder and his jacket on the other opening the door Paula smiled
"He fell asleep on our way back he seemed exhausted" I explained walking towards his room
"It seems like he had a lot of fun" Paula said opening his room door I carefully lied him down taking off his shoes and quietly went out
"Is Dean back yet?" I asked
"not yet he's held up in a meeting" she explained we both walked to the sitting room
"Ok then I'm also exhausted need to get some sleep" I said smiling heading for the doors
"Oh Emily hold up you have a package I kept it for you" Paula said taking a large parcel from the side table
"Oh really thanks" I smiled and took it
"No problem go get some rest" I nodded and went up to my room taking a look at the parcel it has a small card on it 'I bought this thinking about how you'll look on it tonight Blake' this asshole too tired I kept the box on the table i went to my room and set the alarm for 7 and slept off its almost five enough time to sleep
Waking up to my alarm I showered sitting on the bed with a robe on
i unwrapped the parcel and found a black gown with a deep V line at the back and U shaped line in the front showing not too much of my cleavage with a chain hand make it worse it showed all my curves a little bit above my knee looking my self in the mirror
I loved the dress it came with a matching shoe and bag with jewelry as well I smiled when I noticed the gem on the necklace matched my red hair I did a slight makeup taking a microchip from a small like case that had all type of other tools
I took a gum from the package and kept it in my bag also took matchbox and kept in my bag I stood up to look my self one more time before the bell rang
Walking towards the door the bell rang again
"I'm coming" I said opening the door
He seemed taller that than ever, filling her doorway stepping inside as if he had a right there. His hair showed sign of dampness from the shower he had just taken.
She smelled his cologne as he stepped close to her felt the urge to reach out and touch his smoothly shaven cheek she rubbed both of her hands against her gown
"You're very beautiful tonight" his eyes were on her face her hair they traced down to her neckline
"Am I?" He laughed softly
"You know you are. Ready?"
"I'll just get my bag" she picked her keys from the telephone table, and slipped it into her bag
"you don't look bad yourself " I said walking passed him, he locked the door and walked closely behind me.
Getting down I saw Mr Dalvis the man who was our driver back when we were kids he looks way older but still has his soft features
I paused for a second before walking towards where he was noticing someone walking towards him he turned and the first expression on his face was confusion like he was trying to remember where he knew me from then he looked shocked
"Miss Connals?" he asked confused I smiled at him genuinely and said softly
"hello Mr Dalvis its been a while" he smiled so happily as he walked towards me taking my hands in his
"I knew it Miss Connals how have you been I knew you'll grow up to be a beautiful and fine lady I heard about your parents I'm so sorry for lose" he said excitedly laughing while talking I really missed him. he was like an uncle to me back then
"its ok Mr Dalvis I knew you weren't around that's why. I've been alright, its so good to see you after so long" I said smiling he nodded then opened the doors I said thanks then entered the vehicle Blake entered after me about a minute after the vehicle started headed towards the venue
"Emily take this" Blake said giving me a small rest box, I took it and opened it
"what's this?" I asked not opening the box
"open it to find out" he ordered I looked him angrily but opened it quietly
its a ring with a unique design with a large red diamond gemstone it was breathtaking as he sparkled inside the car
"why are you giving this to me?" I asked looking at him and looked at the ring again
"its my family heirloom, its given to the bride of Harding's" he explained
"and so? that doesn't still answer my question" he looked at me darkly
"I want you to wear it tonight" I said calmly looking out the window
"not interested" I said
closed the box then throw it to his laps and looked out the window, looking at her Blake quietly wondered what was going on in her mind but didn't say anything more about half an hour later the car stopped in front hotel where the ball was taking place
"you ready?" Blake asked looking at me I looked at him and smiled cutely
"yeah never been ready" I said joyfully Blake looked shocked at my sudden change of mood it
smiled wildly at his expression it's the first time seeing such an look on his face except an expressionless face
he came down and offered his hand I took it and smiled as I stepped out of the car I looked at Blake his face back to his business like look taking his arms in mine as the paparazzi took pictures walking into ball hall
immediately we stepped in a waiter walked to us and guided us to our table I was just about to take the seat Blake pulled out for me when someone called out to Blake
"Blake!" I turned towards where I heard the voice and smiled at the familiar face it's about time you showed up I quietly took my seat crossed my legs ready to watch the show
the lady walked elegantly towards were Blake was standing smiling Blake looked at her with a straight face
"Blake you made it" she said smiling
"what are you doing here Bre" Blake asked obviously irritated
"oh come on Blake it's the He's gala of course I am invited" she said jokingly then held his arms
"but you said you wont be coming that's why you couldn't be my date" she said cutely as she pressed his arms in breast
"well I came with a date" Blake said darkly as he took his arms from hers taking her step back to show he wasn't alone her face changed immediately but quickly smiled
"oh I didn't know you came with someone" she said smiling as she walked towards me I smiled as I lifted my head and looked her
she stopped walking instantly as she saw my face she looked shocked
"you?" she said as she pointed her fingers to me I smiled as I stood up
"yes me"
"you slut, what the hell are you doing here" she said angrily I smiled and walked to her I raised my hands and gave her slap
"you slapped me?" she said holding her face raising her hands to me I was ready to hold her hands but her hand never got close to me as Blake held her hands half way
"what do you think you're doing?" Blake asked her angrily she looked at Blake with teary eyes
"she hit me first" she said softly Blake left her hand and asked
"are you hurt?" she smiled then shaked her head about to reply but Blake walked towards me looking me straight in the eyes
"I said you a question?" he said darkly looking at me
"no i'm not" I said he took my hand in his and caressed it, took it to his lips and kissed it. not really understanding what's going on I kept looking at him
"what if you hurt your hands, next time just use your leg and kick whoever upset you, you could hurt yourself if you hit someone" he said seriously as he ordered I smiled seductively and nodded
"got it" I said still smiling my eyes on his
"Blake!" Bre shouted
"i'm the one that go hit" she said storming her feet on the floor angrily
"and so what? you started it first" he said angrily clearly losing his patients but her expression changed from that of anger
"Blake what do you think you're doing?" Bre asked as she folded her arms looking at Blake
