Malisa entered her room and entered into the walk in wardrobe...
She scrolled through the sea of dresses as she wondered what she should wear...
There were dresses of different colors, lengths, designs and styles...
And, they all looked very beautiful and elegant that she found herself contemplating which one to choose.
Just when she wanted to give up thinking and pick up a random dress, she felt a presence by her side. " Let me help you... "
It was non other than, Aiden...
He had been waiting for her to come downstairs for minutes but after waiting for a while he decided to go ahead to check up on her himself.
And that's when he saw her Inside the walk in wardrobe looking for the perfect dress...
He found himself smiling at this, shouldn't she just put on something simple and elegant...
She didn't have to search endlessly for the perfect dress alright?
It's not like they are going out on a date or something... They were just going to pick up Mary that's all.
Though he found her action pretty cute though... not bad, he thought.
Aiden simply scrolled through the sea of dresses and picked out a simple blue knee length gown with flower patterns on it.
The dress was very simple, yet elegant and he was very sure that the dress will look very good on her.

" Here. " He turned to Malisa who was staring at him curiously...
" Oh... Thanks. " Malisa found her voice at long last.
" By the way, Mary said that you are still adjusting to the dressing styles here. " Aiden said casually as he pocked his hands...
" Yeah... But I am doing well already... I'll blend in completely in no time. "
" I know you will... " He smiled before adding. " I'll be waiting for you downstairs. "
" Okay... Thanks for your help. "
" It was nothing... Anytime. "
" Wow... Finally. " Malisa sighed as she then proceeded to put on the dress...
As expected, the dress fitted her perfectly...
She stood in front of the full body mirror as she inserted some hair clips into her hair...
Since her hair was longer than normal people's she always had to do the, extra work every single time...
Not like she's complaining... But well..
Anyways, she had learnt to accept herself the way she was...
The only thing she knew she had to improve on was her behavior or character, there was no need for her to improve on her skin as she was created perfectly!
Just like everyone else...
She found herself recalling a lyric from, Scars to your beautiful by Alessia cara.
* There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful*
So yeah... We are all beautiful and shouldn't let anyone's opinion make us doubt that fact.

" You look dazzling. " Aiden commented when Malisa came downstairs...
" Hm... Thanks. "
They were about to head out of the house when, the butler met them...
" Good day, Master, Madame. " He greeted with a bow.
" Good day to you too... "
" Hm... Master, Assistant Simeon had instructed the shadow guards to watch over you and he also sent a driver... If you want --- "
" It's okay... I can drive myself. " Aiden Interrupted him.
Though he tried hiding it, but Malisa could sense the irritation in his voice... And she kind of understood how frustrated he must be feeling.
" Alright, Master. Your car has been prepared. " The butler bowed.
" Okay... " Aiden took the key from the butler before walking out of the house with Malisa trailing behind him.
The car was a silver colored Mercedes Benz...
Malisa didn't wait for him to open the door for her as she took the passengers seat beside the driver...
At first she wanted to take the seat at the back but she realized that it's not appropriate.
Aiden wasn't her driver after all...
Aiden entered the car and ignited the engine... Soon the car was set in motion...
Noticing the awkwardness in the car, Aiden tried initiating a conversation.
" What do you think about, Paris so far? " He inquired as he drove...
" Well... It's okay... "
" Hm... Do you know what, Paris is known for? "
" Yep... It's known as the city of love. It's even said that couples who meet each other in Paris gets to stay together for a lifetime. "
" Oh... You are well Informed, I see... Do you believe in that? "
" Not really... It's not like I have got a lover or something, so well I guess my opinion on that doesn't matter really. "
" Hm... Maybe. "
" So, Do you? "
" I love being realistic. A relationship will only last a lifetime if both couples understand one another and put in their all to make the relationship work. "
" You are right... "
" Yeah... I remember you saying something like me not being like some billionaires you read in books. "
" Hm... Well. You aren't like them... "
" In what way? " Aiden found himself being more curious than ever.
" Well... You are not proud and arrogant as they are. And most importantly, they are mostly Playboys who don't care about how many women's heart that break... They see as a game and derives pleasure in them... So you are definitely not like them. "
" Oh... What do you think of me, by the way? " He stared at her.
Aiden had been really curious about this, he had wanted to ask her but didn't really know how to bring up the topic...
Truth is, he didn't know when he began being interested in what she thought about him...
He tried to stop himself from feeling attracted to her as the day go by... But he couldn't help it.
He was used to being in control... But now? He couldn't even control his own feelings...
This made him realize that he couldn't be in control of everything after all...
And that there are still things that are way beyond his control and he just have to accept that.
