A dinner date
A dinner date
Ruby’s Pov;
So, in a nutshell, that’s how Lily and Ivy ended up being my enemies and not coming to my wedding. But that isn’t even the problem, the problem started when Dad informed me of Nathan’s and his parents coming.
Apparently, they were coming in hope that Nathan and I would at least get to see each other before the wedding and hopefully, bond.
I didn’t act sad, shocked or surprised, I simply just asked him for the day, prepared and looked forward to it.
The day eventually came and I got up early to prepare for their visit.. They would be coming by evening so I have a lot of time to prepare.
We barely have any domestic staff so I had to call Diane over to help me and too good she wasn’t busy.
She gladly followed me to the supermarket, mall and other places.
These are things that were supposed to be done by a mother, but the heavens decided to take mine away from me early, so I have to do this much .
I’m used to it so it wasn’t that hard anymore, and Dad has been the best Dad also.
” I think that should be all,” I told Diane, looking through the things we bought again, before placing them at the back of the car.
I didn’t hear her say anything, so I turned to check whatsup with her and found her grinning like a frog.
” What’s up?” I cooed.
” Do you think I could stay over for dinner as well?” she asked in an absurd manner.
I didn’t need to ask her why.
” Please Diane, I don’t have anything to say to you. You’ll surely get to see Nathan on the wedding day. You’ll get to see him as much as you want, so please just go home okay. I can’t deal with you” I bluffed and walked over to the driver’s seat, and within seconds she sat close to me and we left.
She was acting all pouty, but there’s nothing I could do because Dad would surely not allow it.
I just want to get this over with quickly.

Evening cane sooner than I had anticipated, it’s like the day wasn’t doing me any favors but good thing I was done before then.
Diane had gone home as well, so I quickly went to freshen up before they arrived.
Michael was at the dining with Dad, I left the rest of the work for them and hurried up to the bathroom.
Gosh!! The feel of cold water on my body eased my spine and calmed my nerves. I have been so stressed out since that morning and the water would go a long way to help.
I wasted no time there still, and quickly hurried out to dress.
“Oh, my!! I should have asked Diane for help with my dressing before she left” I shuddered. It would have made sense to get a dressing tip from JENNERS HIGH fashionista, but it’s too late now, she’s already gone and I don’t think I can call her back.
It’s just some minutes left before Nathan arrives with his parents.
I had to quickly browse through the wardrobe for anything that looked outstanding.
We were now broke but were once well off, so my wardrobe is freaking hot because I always went shopping with my friends.
I had a proud smile on my face as I looked through it. It’s really not bad.
There were so many dresses to pick from.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Gosh!! I really needed help, not that it was a big deed, but I just wanted to look presentable.
I want to look more than beautiful.
I finally settled for a strapless blue gown, with a little split at the knee level, just before the inner thighs.
The neck was turtleneck and it took a perfect shape on me when I put it on.
It suited me perfectly, bringing out all my curves.
I smiled because I loved what I was seeing.
I walked over to the dressing table and picked out two tiny balls of gold earrings.
I brushed my hair and let it fall down straight on one shoulder.
I did a little makeup, wore my wristwatch and sandals.
I didn’t think it was cool to wear heels when it’s not like we are going out or anything.
I was almost done when I heard a car pull over at our garage.
I left what I was doing to run to the window and have a look.
There were two cars and the first one, a man and a woman came down. I knew right away they were his parents, and from the second car, a guy and a girl came out.
I gasped suddenly. My eyes widened and my chin tightened.
Goodness gracious!!.
What am I seeing?.
I was a lot more shocked from seeing the guy than I was at the girl as she eventually turned out to be someone I had had an altercation with.
The mall girl I almost had a fight with in front of the mall, with her friends.
I was supposed to be shocked seeing her here but I wasn’t , instead I was more shocked by the guy beside her and kept wondering if he’s human.
Truth be told, I’ve never seen anyone like him before.
He’s so perfect. I haven’t even seen him up close and he looks this perfect.
His steps were perfect as he walked into the house majestically with a kind of dark aura going along with him.
My smile stretched to the widest parts of my mouth but they soon disappeared when I saw the girl clinging onto him like a jealous girlfriend and him trying to push her off.
Huh, What’s going on??. I batted my eyelashes several times to be able to comprehend this but I couldn’t.
He shook his head and walked briskly unto the house angrily.
What was that?.
I was about to leave the window when my eyes caught sight of someone else, a female also.
I didn’t notice her earlier because it seemed like she was the last to get out of the car.
