All eyes were on us the moment we entered into the school’s large hall. The student’s side gossips increased when they saw Adrian dressed in a tuxedo that matches with my gorgeous red gown.
Everyone wanted to know who the handsome hunk was since Adrian hasn’t revealed his real identity yet. Everyone still knows him as a crippled with a disfigured face.
I don’t know why hr decided to come as his real self when no one knows him yet. I’m sure that by now, the whole internet would be filled with headlines like;
THE NEW WIFE OF ADRIAN
MONTGOMERY WAS CAUGHT
WITH HER LOVER
Not that I care what the tabloids say. I just want to know what’s going on in that head of his. I noticed Sandy in the crowd of students, waving at me. I pulled Adrian with me and walked towards where she was.
“Oh my God Sandy, you look so gorgeous.” I complimented as I wrapped her in a bear hug before pulling away from her.
“I could say the same about you. I love your dress.” She said as she eyed me with admiration.
“I have Adrian here to thank.” I said as I turned to face him with a small smile while he smiled back at me.
“Oh, I almost forgot that I haven’t introduced you both. Sandy, this is Adrian, my husband…” Sandy chuckled softly when I said that.
“…. and Adrian, this is Sandy, my best friend.” I continued.
“Nice to meet you Sandy.” He muttered as he stretched his hand for a handshake. Sandy didn’t hesitate in receiving it.
“I never ever expected that we would meet again since that day at the mall.” Sandy said, taking us down the memory lane of how I first met Adrian.
“I bet you had a very bad image of me then.” Adrian said with a chuckle.
“I’d be lying if I said no. I never expected someone to do that to her.” Sandy said.
“You can’t really blame me, I wanted to get to know who I was supposed to get married to.” He explained.
“I bet you were very disappointed.” I said to him.
“At first, till I got to know the real you.” I smiled happily when he said that. We were both lost in each other’s gaze that we didn’t realize that Sandy was still there with us.
“It seems like I’m disrupting something. I’ll like to go enjoy the party.” Sandy announced and was about to leave when I pulled her back.
“You don’t have a date. Can’t you just stay with us?” I asked.
“I don’t think your husband would like that. Enjoy..” She said before she freed herself from my hold and took her leave.
“I like your friend, she’s very smart.” Adrian said after Sandy had disappeared into the crowd.
“How so?” I asked
“She knows when to give someone privacy.”
“I’m sure you chased her away with that grim look of yours.”
“I have a grim look??” He asked in surprise.
“Yeah, this look..” I squeezed my face really hard to show him what I was talking about and that made him burst out unto laughter.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“What the hell Ariel.”
“What?? I’m just showing you how you look most of the time.” I defended.
“I’m sure as hell I don’t look that ugly.”
“Really??”
“Yeah. If I did, you wouldn’t have fallen in love with me.” I was really dumbfounded when he said that. I stared at him speechlessly as no counter words could form in my head.
“Don’t try to deny it baby. You know I’m right.” He added.
“Shut it..” Was the only thing that I could say while he laughed heartily.
Seeing him laugh like that made me chuckle. He was somewhat right about that but I wasn’t going to tell him since I know that he would use it against me later.

Bianca was at the far end of the large hall. She was surrounded by her minions and people who admired her but she still felt alone as she was only thinking about one person.
She never thought a day would come that she would miss his presence until she left Hawaii. Even though they usually call each other daily, it was nothing compared to being around him.
That was when she realised that she was already attached to him. Too attached that she feels like she can’t live without him. He had slowly crept into her heart had occupied the spot that Lucas had.
He helped her heal from the pain Lucas inflicted on her but now she was scared. she knew that she had already fallen for him even though she didn’t want to admit it and that really scared her.
What if he hurts her like Lucas did? She can’t handle another heart break. If it happens, she wasn’t sure she would be able to survive it but what can she do? Her heart yearns for him.
She knows he has a thing for her and that made her feel at ease. At least, it wasn’t one sided like the one she had with Lucas. She was still deep in her thoughts when she heard her phone vibrate.
She picked it up and smiled when she saw who was messaging her. It was as of he knew she was thinking about him.
“How are you doing gorgeous?” Was what the text read.
“I’m fine. You?”
“Same. So how’s your prom going?”
“Surprisingly boring.”
“Really? How so??”
“I guess it’s because you aren’t here.” She typed without thinking. When she realized what she had typed, it was already too late as she had pressed the send button and he had already read it.
She stared at her phone anxiously as she waited for his reply but there was none. She was expecting him to tease her like he used to but there was still nothing. When she got fed up of his silence, she decided to send him a message. She was about to type when his message entered.
“Come outside.” Her heart made a flip when she read it.
Was he really outside?? She didn’t waste anytime and rushed outside of the school. She searched around but couldn’t find him. She was about to give up when she noticed someone walking towards her.
She smiled when she saw who it was and without thinking twice, she ran and embraced him.
