The next day.
"What should I wear for that damn party? Arghh!," Andrea said while going through all the clothes in her wardrobe.
After finding nothing to wear, a thought suddenly pops out of her mind.
"Aha! I know who to go if fashion is what we're talking about," she immediately picks her phone from the table beside her bed and dialed Jenevic's number.
After a minute, Jenevic answered.
"Hey babe, what's up?," Jenevic said.
Andrea looked to her wardrobe one more time before answering. "You know I was wondering if I can ask for some suggestions on what to wear for the party?"
Hearing what Andrea said, Jenevic shrieks from excitement.
"Yiiee, oh my gosh! You called the right person, babe. I know just what to suggest. Come on here in our shop, the girls are here too."
Andrea's eye brows furrowed. What the heck?!
"Did you just shop without me? You traitors!" she replied.
"We were just about to call you but you called us first so we didn't have the chance to tell you. However, since you're asking for advice about fashion too, come over."
"Oh hell, yes I will. Wait for me!" she hungs up the call without waiting for Jenevic's reply.
She immediately picks up something nice to wear. When she's satisfied with her looks while looking at the whole body mirror, she quickly picks up her car keys and strive off.
The moment she enters the elevator and pressed the ground floor, she receives a text from Xeno.
"Hello, darling. What are you doing?"
To her amazement, Andrea finds herself smiling while reading a single text from her so called 'boyfriend'. But since she still wants to play tough, she replied him with an annoyed text.
"It's none of your business. You're supposed to be busy from work?"
This man.. Yesterday, he keeps on texting me what I'm doing or how am I. He keeps on reassuring me that if I really have to go with him to the party. Haysst.
"That's just work anyway. I'll always give my time to you. So.. About my question, what are you doing?"
Andrea giggles in her thoughts. Of course she can't let him hear her giggles, he might think something's going on with her.
Finally, she reached the ground floor but she's still looking at her phone like an idiot, smiling. Without a care to her surroundings, she walked towards her car.
"What are you giggling about? Are you happy I texted you?" to her surprise someone was already beside her, looking at her phone too.
Andrea almost jump because of shock. When she realized he's looking at her phone, she quickly hid it behind her.
"What the hell are you doing here?! You're supposed to be at your company!" she's already red as a tomato from embarrassment.
"Woah easy there," Xeno held both of his hands up.
"I just wanna surprise you. Looks like I made you happy huh? Yes!" he gestured his hand like he won a lottery.
"Excuse me, I-i-m.." she said while wishing the land will just swallow her right now!
"Y-you're what?? Hmm?? Hahaha," he laughs at the sight in front of him.
Feeling embarrassed and pissed, Andrea just walked pass through him fast towards her car. Still not saying a word.
"Darling, hey," Xeno immediately held her hands to stop her. Andrea turned her head but stares down, not looking at him in the eye.
"I'm just joking. I'm just happy to see you smile. You're cute when you smile and....also blush so I can't hold myself from teasing you," he looked at her with his puppy eyes. She raised her head up, finding him....cute as well. Damn!
"Stop looking at me like that. Will you stop following me? And you didn't answer me ealier, what are you doing here??," she's not pissed anymore. She just looked at him straight in the eye.
"I want to invite you for lunch. Please, darling." he's still looking at her like he's begging.
"I'm busy right now. I have to go somewhere." she looked at their both hands. Kinda like the sensation she's feeling.
"Can I drive you there? I'm bored, I don't have anything to do."
"I'm going out with my friends. Are you sure you're not busy?" she raised her beautiful eye brows.
God, so pretty. He thought.
"Of course, I'm not. That's why I'm here. So, can I just drive you to them? We'll have our lunch after you're done," he said squeezing her hand.
Left with no choice, Andrea agreed. Since she's not using Nelliel this time, she just kept her keys inside her bag and they both walked to his car beside hers.
He escorted her to her seat and immediately go to his. After they both buckled up their seat belts. He holds her hand again.
"Ahm, can you please let go of my hand now?" she felt her cheeks burning.
"Hmm, let me think about that." he said while smirking. She didn't argue and just let him do what he wants.
That's when she got the chance to look at his appearance. He's wearing a black polo shirt paired with black trousers. He looks hot, with his hand holding hers.
"Am I handsome enough?"
"In your dreams." They both laugh and it makes them both comfortable with each other's presence.
"Where to, darling?"
"To Samonte Clothes Shop."
"Hmm.. you're buying clothes? What for?" he said while looking at the road.
"Duhh. For the party, of course. I want to look elegant cuz I don't want to downgrade me when I'm with you."
"No one will. You're still beautiful and elegant whatever you wears anyway."
"I'm still wanna look expensive though." she replied. They're almost at the shop.
"Want me to buy them clothes for you, darling?" that's a great offer but..
"Thanks for the offer but I can pay for it. It's just clothes." she smiles at him.
"Okay. Anything you want." he squeezed her hands lightly again.
After 26 minutes, they reached the shop. Like what Xeno did in the parking lot. He opened his door first and walked towards hers to open it.
Andrea smiled at his small gesture.
"I'll pick you up later. Enjoy your time with your friends, darling." he was about to kiss her cheek when he realized that it's something he shouldn't do in public.
Andrea noticed his hesitation so she initiates the kiss on his cheek before saying goodbye.
"Bye, see you later."
Xeno blushed that makes her smile. He didn't get to reply to her because she already entered the shop.
When she entered the place, she can sense 6 pairs of eyes looking at her.
"As far as I know, we're here to shop for clothes, not flirt with boys," Angel said.
The girls immediately stood up from their sits and approached her.
"Come on, we're just...you know... He just drove me here." Andrea looked at all of them and she can say that they're not buying here excuse.
"Just? Ha! I didn't know you were that close to your 'boyfriend'. I wouldn't blame you though, he's hot." Kendys said.
"Hey, stop calling him hot." He's mine...Andrea wanted to say it but she backs out.
"Ohh.. Looks like someone's jealous. Haha." Jenevic said.
"Can we now go look at some clothes? I have somewhere to go to after we're done." Daniela said.
"Yeah, you're right. Let's go continue where we left, girls." Jenevic leads the way and they all followed her.
Andrea looked around the shop and it almost looks like a mall of clothes. The place is huge and there are tons of beautiful and eye catching clothes here.
They all went to the dresses section and Jenevic picks up lots of beautiful clothes. Since they don't have that much knowledge in clothes, they let her be.
After choosing 7 clothes which is now in her hands. Jenevic leads them again to the fitting room.
She gives them dresses individually and they each go to the fitting room to wear it. Jenevic serves as the judge.
They all got their dresses colored with each of their favorite color. The dresses have different designs but it brings out their beauty perfectly. Andrea got a maroon colored dress and when she tried it on, it fits her perfectly as it shows her curves right.
"That's beautiful on you, babe. I'm sure they will adore you and Mr. Louindelle. You're both a perfect match." Ladyheart said.
"Thanks."
After they wore their dresses and see if it fits, they were about to hand out their card to Jenevic when she quickly said, "It's my treat, it's yours now. Consider it as a gift from me."
"Thank you, girl." they hugged her and now they each carry a bag with the dress in it.
It was 11:00 when they're done shopping and when Andrea got out of the shop, Xeno is already waiting at her. When she looked him, she immediately bid her goodbyes to the girls.
"Lucky bitch." Lucille said.
"Haha." Andrea simply replied.
Xeno is leaning on his car looking at his watch before opening the door for her.
"Thank you," she said when she got in.
"Finally, I got to spend time with you."
"Haha but we just spend some earlier."
"Just for 26 minutes though. So you got your dress? Can I see?" he asked her trying to look at the bag she's carrying.
"No can do. Consider it a surprise," she smirked at him.
"Haha I love surprises."
"You sure will love it." she said before they drove off.
