Chapter 960 Couple Goal

960 Couple Goal

As the makeup artist and hairstylist stepped out of Lucy's bedroom after they were done, Lucy turned to Amy with a wide smile.

"You look stunning," Lucy said, and Amy nodded.

"I can't believe it myself. Thanks, Lucy," Amy said, turning away from the mirror to face Lucy.

"There is nothing to thank me for. I haven't done anything," Lucy said with a dismissive wave.

Amy smiled, "You look really gorgeous. Something looks different about you," Amy said, her voice filled with admiration.

"Thanks. It's the contacts. I'm not wearing my glasses, and you're used to seeing me in them," Lucy said, and Amy nodded, realizing that was what seemed different.

"I think I'm gradually beginning to get used to wearing contacts," Lucy said thoughtfully, more to herself than to Amy.

"By the way, Amy, I've been thinking of discussing something with you," Lucy said, and Amy raised her brows curiously.

"What is it?"

"I'm not exactly sure how to say this, and mind you, I'm not saying it because I want any troubles. I just want you to brace yourself and be prepared for the worst," she started, and Amy frowned, wondering if Lucas had said something.

"Brace myself for what?"

"You know Rachel was our classmate, right?" She asked, and Amy nodded.

"Well, you know how people are. There might be those who think Lucas shouldn't be with another woman, especially considering the suicide note. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying this because I agree with them. I'm just saying you might hear unpleasant things, and I want you to be prepared for them. And you should also come to me if anyone speaks to you rudely. I promise to handle it," Lucy said with a solemn expression, and Amy smiled.

"Thanks, Lucy, but I already thought of the possibility of that happening and considered it before accepting Lucas's request to be his plus one. I'm not afraid or worried about what anyone is going to say to me or about me. You don't need to worry about me either. I have my big girl pants on," Amy assured her.

Lucy smiled, "That's good, then. I'm relieved to hear that. Why don't we take some selfies before we leave?" She suggested, changing the subject.

"Yeah. Let's do that," Amy said as she moved closer to Lucy. They took some pictures, and then Amy took Lucy's phone and helped her capture some personal photos, and Lucy did the same for Amy.

"Oh, my! You two are absolutely gorgeous," Janet cooed when she walked into the bedroom and saw Lucy and Amy in the middle of their photoshoot. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Thank you, Mom," Lucy said with a delighted laugh.

"Thank you, Janet," Amy said with a warm smile. Janet had earlier insisted that she simply call her Janet.

"Well, the men are waiting downstairs," Janet said after looking them over and was sure everything looked perfect.

"Lead the way, Amy," Lucy offered, eager to see Lucas' reaction when he saw Amy.

"I'd rather you go ahead of me. I need a moment," Amy said, and Lucy exited the room with a nod.

"Where is Amy?" Lucas asked as he watched Lucy descend the stairs.

"Amy will be down shortly. Is Amy the only one you care about? No compliment for your beautiful sister?" Lucy teased, and Lucas scoffed.

Lucas and Amy got in, too, and once they were seated, Lucas turned to Amy and said, "You know, Amy, I think this might be the most beautiful I've ever seen you look."

Amy's smile returned, and she leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm glad you like it. I felt like this dress suited me, you know?"

Lucas nodded, "It does. It suits you perfectly."

Seated across from them, Tom leaned closer to Lucy, "So, are we going to make out in the backseat of the car after prom?" He asked, wiggling his brows suggestively.

Lucy giggled as she pushed him away playfully. "Did you do that at your prom?" She asked with narrowed eyes.

"I don't even remember my prom," Tom said, and before Lucy could argue or ask another question, he changed the subject, "I have something for you," Tom said with a mischievous grin.

Lucy raised a brow, "What?"

Tom chuckled as he reached for a box she had not noticed earlier and handed it to her.

Lucas and Amy watched as Lucy opened the box, and then she giggled as she took out a gold sash and gold tiara studded with diamonds, "You've got to be kidding me," she said, and Tom chuckled.

"Are those real diamonds?" Amy asked as she looked at the exquisite tiara.

"Are there fake diamonds? It's either a diamond or not," Tom said, and Amy shook her head in wonder.

She had always known that Tom adored Lucy, but seeing his romantic displays in person like this left her in awe of the couple.

Lucy didn't pay attention to the tiara as she rolled out the sash to see what he had written on it, and she smiled as she read it.

"'Welcome To Prom, Queen Lucinda' Really?" She asked, and he nodded.

"Yeah," he said as he took the tiara and set it on her head.

"Everyone is going to think this reunion is about me..."

"It is about you. They all know it," Tom said, raising her hand to his lips before kissing her.

"Are they really always like this?" Amy asked Lucas as she watched them.

"Like what?"

"So lovey dovey? And does he always make such grand gestures?" Amy asked curiously.

Lucas chuckled, "Why? Wanna make them your couple goal?"

"They are already," Amy said with a grin as she looked at Lucas.

"You remember I'm not as rich as Tom, right?" He asked playfully, and she playfully elbowed his side.

"No, I forgot. Thanks for reminding me," she said, and they both laughed lightheartedly.

As they drove to the reunion, Lucas couldn't help but feel grateful to be by Amy's side, basking in the calm, peaceful glow that radiated from her like a beacon.
