Chapter9

Ben yawned, sleepless from a long day at work yesterday. It was taking its toll on him, and it was barely five in the afternoon. He had gone home, showered, and changed into a tuxedo. He didn’t feel like attending this gala, but he had to. His family and the company had long been patrons for this cancer research center that catered to children. After all, it was only a $5,000 per plate event.

He and Denise had gone to this same event last year; he didn’t remember what she’d worn, but he remembered the champagne he’d drank to mask the annoyance that Denise had been making a big deal out of him not wanting to move in with her, or worse, her moving in with him. The rest of the night had been a blast, though…

His driver waited for him by the curb. He hadn’t put on his coat yet as he went up to her floor. The night was cold, and he hoped she had had enough brains to buy a shawl for herself at least. If she’d thought that far ahead. He knocked on her door but she didn’t open. Maybe she was still in the shower again. He was irked, remembering he had told her he would pick her up at six o’clock sharp.

He let himself in with his spare key, glad he had brought it with him again. He walked inside and saw the pillows on the couch all jumbled up. He shook his head. He heard a shuffling noise.

“I told you I’d pick you up by six—” he stopped when he saw her walk out of the bedroom.

He held his breath. It seemed so unreal. She wore a delicate, strapless, turquoise gown. Her hair was in soft, voluminous waves. The only accessory she had on was a gold cuff bracelet. Her makeup was done flawlessly. It didn’t make her look overdone or make her look like a clown; instead, it enhanced her features. He couldn’t say anything at first.

“I’m ready,” she told him.

He had to clear his throat to say something. “You look-you look nice.” He said that lamely and suddenly wanted to kick himself for it.

“Thanks, this look didn’t go beyond $3,000.” She grinned.

“Good to know,” he murmured. “Shall we?” He held out his arm for her to take.

She felt giddy at the idea of a formal event with him. It was her first big gala. With a designer dress and designer shoes and a designer bag. With someone very attractive. She had to admit that she stared at him, not realizing he was staring at her the same way. It was probably his hair, not too much wax on it; it was probably his freshly shaven face, he looked regal; but it was most probably the suit. He looked dashing.

The car ride was a slow one, and it made the car seem quieter than ever.

Say something, he urged himself, now is the time to act and talk like a boyfriend. “You picked that dress at the last hour?”

She nodded.
