46-Two Days To Go

Ashley Walters pov

All my dresses were lying on the carpeted floor. Just two hours before the party, I had still not decided what to wear.

In the orphanage, I never gave a damn. For me, denim with a t–shirt used to do the job. This was something else.

“Kitten, believe me. You will look beautiful whatever you choose to wear.” Justin took his jacket out of the closet, “There are so many options. Choose, what is easy for you to carry.”

Ah! Men!

They don’t face what we women face every day. For them, it’s either a t–shirt or a jacket, or a tuxedo.

“I wish, I was a man!” I complained and sat down beside the huge pile, “But being a woman has its own advantages.”

“Such as?” There was a playful smile on his lips.

“Being a woman means getting a chance to do all that sexy stuff with you… After two days!” I chewed my lower lip and avoided looking at him.

“Woman! Get a hold. Otherwise, I might…” His voice had turned husky.

Knock!

“Master Deluca. Your car is ready.” Alex was outside the door. I rose to my feet and opened the door. “Alex. Please come inside.” There was a flicker of surprise in his eyes when I gestured for him to enter the room. He looked behind me and must have got his employer’s approval.

With great hesitancy, he came inside and stood there awkwardly.

“Sarah is throwing a party. What should I wear? I mean I have never been rich… Ha–ha.”

“Ashley!” Justin’s voice was laced with warning.

“What, Ashley? You are not helping me either, Justin. At least let him.” Bickering at him, I turned to the poor assistant.

“Mr. Alex. I don’t know anything suitable to wear. Please help me.” I picked up a revealing gown, “What about this one? Will that do the job? Or should I …” I jumped over the pile and took out a sapphire blue tie waist dress in velvet.

“Ashley. Put that down.” Justin took it from my hands, “Alex. Tell the driver it will take some time as I am helping my wife to select the dress.”

Alex at once stepped back and ran out as if his life depended on it. I was putting back my blue dress when my hands froze in mid–air.

Did he just tell his assistant that I was his wife? I looked in his direction and had to admire him. All ready, in a black jacket with his hair, gelled back, he was crouched down, trying to help me in choosing my dress.

Again, a knock!

“Yes!” He said busily and took out an olive–green maxi, “How about this one?” He lifted it up so that I could see it when we heard Sarah standing in the doorway.

“Wow! I did not know you have started your own boutique, Ashley!” She sounded amused and sat beside

me, “So, what do we have here?”

“I simply don’t know what to choose?” I asked her nervously.

“Don’t worry. Just be you.” She started examining all my dresses, “Justin. If I recall, you have a meeting. You should go ahead and let me help her with this mess.”

Justin did not look convinced. While Sarah was busy sorting out my clothes, I secretly winked at him and pouted to give him a silent kiss.

He scratched his head and narrowed his eyes.

“I think you should go. Sarah will help me.” I tried to assure him by blinking my eyes twice. He seemed uncertain.

“Ok!” He sighed at last giving up.
