Chapter Ten
Elara’s POV:
“Arghhh”
Why didn’t I just say No to him?
Now I have to go with him on a date
“Arghhh” I muttered to myself in frustration and annoyance
“I only wanted to make Damian upset, I just…
I just wanted to prove a point” I continued muttering under my breath as I picked my lipstick from my makeup kit. When I had said yes to going out on a date with him. I did it out of spite. I wanted to prove to Damian that I had moved on
No!
I wanted to prove to myself that I was over him,
Julian’s feelings to my
But who was I kidding. I was still deep in my feelings for Damian and now I feel terrible using Julia advantage.

He seemed like a nice and sweet person, and the last thing I needed was to mess his heart up, just like h

“What’s with that ugly face?” Sabrina’s voice burst through my chain of thoughts annoying me even more.
She was
watching me with an amused expression on her face.
e you calling ugly” I sighed as I stared at her.
“Who are you
She offered me a warm smile “Isn’t it obvious, it’s you I mean it’s just a date, not a marriage ceremony so cheer ready, your date awaits silly girl
up and get
I groaned for the umpteenth time in frustration but couldn’t find the right words to say to her, it was pointless arguing and she was right after all.
Julian was waiting for me.
“Hmm, what are you going to wear?” She spoke as she found her way uninvited to my wardrobe while I forced a smile on my
face
“Something sexy and seductive but not too desperate, something beautiful yet simple, something….. Something… Red… ahhhh yes”
She quickly pulled out a pepper red sleeveless body hug dress, with a slit that stopped just above the knee.
Tound the perfect dress for the perfect date, this would look amazing on you Elara” she chimed as she admired her unwelcomed effort
I eyed her skeptically “Don’t you think it’s a bit too much I mean a bit revealing?”
“Not at all Clara boo, it’s perfect and elegant and let’s not forget it’s red,” she said with a mischievous smirk
I raised a brow “Really? And what’s so special about red?”
1 don’t know” She shrugged “most guys like the color red on a woman.”

My body stiffened at her words
Damien.
Damian likes red
He had once told me I looked good in red, he had said it made me look hot like fire.
“Is that so?” I said as I stood up and walked towards my wardrobe
“Then I guess I should dare to be different” I casually said as I reached for my black milkmaid dress, it was casual enough. It complimented my shape without drawing too much attention
e get ready
Sabrina said nothing as she stared at me before quietly sitting on my bed as she watched me
I took my time brushing my hair and applying all the needed hair pins and a bow that added a bit of color to my outfit. Even if I didn’t want too look my best, I still couldn’t leave my room looking like Wednesday Adams
I wore the dress and just like I expected it complimented my curves
When I was done, I stared at my reflection, I looked too beautiful for someone who wasn’t comfortable going out on a date.
e room
“I thought you didn’t want to go on this date? How come you look like a supermodel? Sabrina’s voice echoed in the I offered her a warm smile “I’m as shocked as you are
As I continued marveling at the sight of my beauty even though I had done the barest minimum to my looks
I received a text from Julian “I’m parked outside your hostel
My eyes widened.
“Is he dumb?” I whispered under my breath.
The last thing I wanted was for him to be seen waiting for me outside my hostel
The rumors about us would spread faster than chocolate chips on Chocolate Day.
Hissing under my breath, I texted him.
“I’m on my way, please don’t step out of your car”
“What’s wrong?” Sabrina quickly asked “Don’t tell me he’s backing out so soon?”
“Why would he want to do that?” I scoffed “He is outside”
Sabrina raised an eyebrow as another mischievous smile appeared on her face. “Is that why you look so panicked? Urgh you’re such a drama queen”
“You wouldn’t und

I grabbed my silver purse
purse, and rushed out of the room.
When I stepped outside the hostel, I calmly forced my expression into one of indifference as I casually walked over to his car
Oh No! “why did he have to park his car in front of the hostel”
“Arghhh, calm down Elara” I muttered to myself again
I walked over to the passenger seat and knocked on the door.
Once it was of
open, I looked around making sure no one noticed me then I hurriedly hopped in

I swallowed hard “Please Drive”
Julian blinked at me in confusion and without asking questions he drove
The moment we left the school premises, He calmly glanced at me
“We’re out. You can stop hid
stop hiding now,”
1 slowly sat up straight, releasing the breath that I was subconsciously holding.
I sighed in relief as I ran a hand through my hair. Thanks, so sorry about that
“Oh well, you’re welcome. But, do you mind explaining what that was about?”
“What do you mean?” I tried my best to act innocent
“You acted like you
you were being chased out of your hostel And you practically sent a text begging me not to step out of the
I sighed. “Oh that‘
Yes, that. What was that all about?” he replied
Well, The girls in my hostel are a bit insane when it comes to you: Imagine if they saw you waiting outside my hostel, they’d rip me apart Plus, you’re… Well you’re older than me”
He smirked. “Hmm, that’s logical enough. But you do know my car has tinted windows, right? You didn’t have to hide.”
I dropped my head into my hands in embarrassment
I had no idea
Julian chuckled and for some reason, I found it beautiful…
“I take it back. That was actually kind of cute and you look wow.”
1 shot him a silent killer glare
Julian glanced at me briefly before focusing back on the road. “You know, if you’re that worried and scared about people seeing us together, you could’ve just informed me so we’d have met somewhere else instead ”
I folded my arms. “And let you kidnap me? No, I’d rather be a trending topic in school”
He let out a dramatic gasp. “Wow. I offer you an exotic and perfectly planned romantic dinner and you call me a criminal? Ouch
“Well, you’re guilty until proven innocent.” I smiled as I stared at him and then at the road.
Julian shook his head “So, what exactly am I guilty of? Don’t tell me I stole your heart?”
I let out a small laugh Nah, you’re quilty of being suspiciously nice”
He chuckled “TILike that as a sweet little compliment.”
“Don’t ”
“Too late ”
