Chapter 131 - The Ball

After Shiwoo had left home that day I got ready wearing the clothes that I picked out. 

Joongki was waiting for me at the front door and he gave me a stern look and fair warning to behave myself and I agreed for I was actually planning on being good and spend his money.

The ride to the city was a boring and tiring one, but he said that he wanted me to find the best dress and visit the best salon so to the capital we went.

After a long ass two hour ride we had arrived and Moscow was truly marvelous.

My mouth was wide open with awe as I stared around as I exited the car and Joongki led me into the mall that was mostly glass and we went up the escalator looking through boutiques.

It was dreadful and boring and it felt like I was dragging a literal rock around with his clod dead stare and stern walk making sure to keep him hawk eyes on me.

I couldn't take the bore anymore and got an idea to call Lia.

"Hey hoe" she said answered first thing, where was her manners?

"Hey"

"I was wondering when you would call. Was afraid you were too busy getting dicked down." Oh my god.

Joongki suddenly looked uncomfortable by our conversation and he turned red in the face before excusing himself, "excuse me ma'am."

"Finally!" I exclaimed as I finally felt free, "if I knew it would have been so easy to get rid of him I would have called you days ago."

"Ha ha. But what is this I hear about you being missing yesterday? I swore I almost got on a plane to kill you." she asked and I sighed taking a seat.

"I just wanted some alone time jeez. I am an adult you know. Wait, but how do you know this? News travel fast."

"Minjae told me that Shiwoo told him. Plus they were both freaking out because they couldn't reach you." she said shrugging and I nodded.

"I didn't know Shiwoo and Minjae were that much of friends."

"Of course they are, and they even gossip." I gasped.

"No" I covered my mouth in shock and she nodded her head enthusiastically assuring.

"They are like gossip queens. They always have drama."

I chuckled at her words finding it funny that Shiwoo of all people would gossip.

Well I guess everyone craves a little tea in there life huh.

"Oh before we stray off track, the reason why I called was to get you fashion advice on dresses and hair styles. Maybe nail art designs as well. I'm feeling a little dangerous."

She smiled a knowing smile as I spoke and I rose a brow confused, "Minjae told me that Shiwoo told him that you might call me for you have a ball."

"Okay now I believe that he does in fact gossip." I said rolling my eyes as I smiled, "okay so let's look at the options. Ana will be there so I want to look drop dead gorgeous, but also sophisticated and classy, but also hot and slutty, but also not like slutty slutty, but like slutty. You know what I mean?"

She clapped her hands squealing and I smiled, "I know what you mean eeeeehh! Okay okay quick! Flip the camera and let's begin. We are going to make you so hot that Shiwoo and every other guy wont be able to take their eyes off of you and would offer you diamonds and other expensive jewels."

And so she did.

That day I spent it getting pampered from head to two and I really felt like a new woman.

I had done my nails in my favorite almond shape, not too tall, but not too short and I went a simple ombre of pinks and blue hues with jewels and lines and I liked it. I even did the same with my toes, but minus the jewels and sparkles keeping it classy, but cute.

For my hair though I went the most risky and for a medium length strawberry blonde bob with streaks of platinum blonde highlights with bangs.

It was a wig of course, but I absolutely loved it and so did Lia.

I had never worn something like that before and I felt a little weird, but also bold.

I snapped a few pics to my mom and sister and they both hyped me up, but I knew that they were relived when they found out that it was wig.

Now all that was left was to decide on the dress.

Lia and I had both a quite a few which we liked so I had an elimination process to find the best candidate.

Only three dresses were left standing and I literally felt like I was chewing my finger off from biting my nails too far.

I had a vision in mind with the hair and I wanted something that I had never tried before.

Emerald green.

Since I was in a European country and I had no idea as when I would be back if ever, I might as well just live out my princess dreams.

I decided on the emerald ball gown which was a "Off the Shoulder Emerald Green Satin Long Prom Dresses with Leg Slit V-neck Floor Length Arabic Evening Gowns'  and it was truly marvelous.

I did want something with a little bit more bling and maybe pockets, but this was good enough for this occasion.

That day when I returned Shiwoo was not there and he came in a little late bringing me a beautiful emerald necklace after I called and told him that I got a pearl dress and it was a surprise and you might have guessed it.

Yes we did make love that night.

When he saw my hair his immediate words and reaction were, "woah. I love blonde."

I blushed giving him twirl and showed him my nails.

I felt content with my look and everything which was perfect since this was the night of the ball.

I don't know why, but I felt a little nervous on the car ride over there and my legs was busy tapping when he placed his hand there comforting me.

"It will be fine nae sarang. It's only people."

Exactly. My biggest fear.

Not only were they people, but rich people.

The worst kind of people.

I took a deep breath in and let it out as the car came to stop and I heard bustling outside and saw flashing lights.

"Hold on. There is paparazzi?"

"Well of course princess. It is a big even after all" he confirmed and I smirked.

"Well then, I must look pretty for the cameras." I said pulling up my top.

"You always do" he said endearingly as he looked me in the eyes and I smiled.

"I know," I smirked, "well come on boy. Can't keep the press waiting."

The car soon after opened and lights began to flash in my face as I smiled posing as Shiwoo held me.

"You are a natural at this" he said as he greeted people and spoke though my smile.

"But of course dear. I was made for this life. I love the attention."

I let got of his arm for a second as I placed my hands on my waist stepping my leg out to expose the slit doing a few poses for the camera.

"Okay that's enough." said Shiwoo holding onto my waist as soon as I did the 'look back at it' pose and pouted as we entered the inside.

It was even more magnificent than before with all the decorations and fancy people walking by and I made my way to the food table mouth watering at all the food.

"Okay Tally listen. This may seem like a friendly get together, but all these people here are a potential threat. Keep your ears and eyes peeled and stay where I can see you." said Shiwoo into my ear as he hand my waist.

"Where are you going?" I asked as he made a move to leave.

"I am going to scope around and see if I can dig up some valuable information . Stay on guard okay? I love you."

"Yeah love you two," I said and he made another motion to leave, but I stopped him, "wait."

I placed a kiss on his lips and I fixed the collar of his shirt and he smiled before leaving.

I let out a breath saying a silent prayer as I watched him walk through dangerous waters when something caught my eye.

"Ouu alcohol" I said as I walked over to the table being careful when taking one.

I took a sip as I stood there spectating the party from the side feeling a little lonely and odd, but then as if God had answered my prayer I got company.

Yay company!

Note the sarcasm.
