Chapter 0194

Daniel pulls away from me, turning his back, but I can see the tension in his shoulders. I wait, trying to be patient, but he juststands there — I think wondering himself. I clasp my hands together, considering that... maybe he just doesn’t know.

I'm still waiting for Daniel to turn back to me when the door opens and I jump a little bit, turning to look at Kent standing suddenlyin the doorway.

“What the hell are you two doing,” he demands, “you’re not even dressed!” he exclaims, gesturing towards my pajamas. Then helooks at Daniel and scoffs at him, “your tie,” he mutters, stepping forward to do it himself. “Why can’t either of you tie a tie —“

“I can do it,” Daniel complains, the hint of a little boy’s whine in his protest, and I smirk as I hurry to the bathroom where my dressis hanging next to the shower. I put it there to let the steam unwind any last wrinkles.

“Fay!” Kent shouts after me, tense, as I peel my pajamas off and begin to slip on the dress. “You have about twenty seconds!”

“I'm coming!” I shout back, smirking a little as I pull the dress over my head and zip it halfway up my back, unable to reach anyfurther. Then I hurry back out into my bedroom. “Can one of you...” I say when I’m back in the room, walking swiftly over to themand holding up the front of the dress with my hand. Then I turn and indicate the zipper, looking over my shoulder at them.

Both Kent and Daniel step forward to do the job but, realizing it simultaneously, they both stop and glare at each other. I can’thelp the laugh that bursts out of me at this. “Seriously!” I say, turning my head away and shaking it. “It’s just a zipper!”

But then there’s the warmth of a body close behind me and I feel a tug at the fabric of the dress as someone zips me up. When Iturn, I’m surprised to see Kent standing close. He stays there for a second — perhaps a second too long, from Daniel’sperspective, since Daniel angrily clears his throat.

Kent steps back, then, and looks me over from head to toe. “Shoes?” he asks, slipping his hands into his pockets.I nod and spin around, looking for them, and I hear a little frustrated sigh come from Kent's direction.

“Would you chill out?” I scold, smirking at him briefly before I spot the five-inch stilettos under my vanity, their red bottomscatching my eye. I quickly sit on my stool and pull them on before standing up and spreading out my arms. “Well?” I ask. “Do Ipass muster?”

The dress is...gorgeous, simple, and serious. Kent has dressed me in a lot of different styles before, but never one that mademe feel so...grown up. The black silk Versace dress has only two little spaghetti straps holding it up before it slinks its way downmy body, the delicate invisible corseting below it giving me an incredible hourglass shape. The skirt of the dress spills to the floorbut there’s a slit up the right side that goes almost to my waist, though there’s enough fabric in the circle of my skirt that youbarely notice that sexy little fact unless I’m walking, or you're looking closely.

Daniel raises his eyebrows at me, clearly impressed, and gives a thumbs up, but Kent does nothing. He just stands there,looking at me from top to bottom like a connoisseur before he nods. “You'll do, Fay,” he murmurs.

I roll my eyes at him a little bit, wanting a little bit more than that, but he just smirks and turns, walking out of the room, snappinghis fingers over his shoulder to let us know that he expects us to follow behind.

I move to follow but Daniel stops me with a hand on my arm. “Forgetting something?” he asks, and I frown up at him, confused.Then, from his pocket, he pulls out his mother’s engagement ring.

“Oh,” I say, blinking down at it. Andthen I sigh, hatte eles lee hae!(esting Birt § eit onto my ringfinger. Please read the originalcontent at .

“Daniel, Fay!” Kent’s voice rings out. “Come on! We don’t have all night!”

Daniel rolls his eyes at me and I laugh as we make our way down the stairs.
