Chapter 27: Chapter:27
**Taylor's POV**
I stand infront of the mirror, smoothing down the front of my new dress as Lydia fixes the back. "Are you nervous?" She asks me and I take a deep breath before nodding. "Yeah. I've never been to a party where anybody would be wearing a pocket square or cufflinks." I say and Lydia chuckles.
"You better get used to it 'cause you'll be attending a few of them from now on." She says and I blow out a deep breath. "There you have it." Lydia says getting up from the squating position that she was in. "You look beautiful." She says and I blush, smiling at her through the mirror.
"I wouldn't be looking this good if it wasn't for you. Thank you." I say and she gives me a little curtsy. "I still can't believe how fast you got it does. It is exactly what I wanted." I go on and she sighs.
"You and Dimitri need to pay for the amount of bandages that I had to get. My hand is practically a colinder from all the needle pricks I took." She says and I giggle as she shows me the one pink dinosaur covered bandaid. "Ah, will you even survive the night." I joke and she laughs.
I take a look at my dress in the mirror and can't help but smile. It is a burnt orangecoloured,spahetti strap, chiffon dress. The built in corset does alot to accentuate my chest and hips. My make-up is perfectly done. It is more then I would usually put on but it isn't caked on. Lydia also straightened my hair before using some gel to slick it down perfectly for a spiky bun.
*She really is a jack of all trades.*
There is a knock on the door before the door opens, revealing a very handsome looking Dimitri. His suit is charcoal grey and perfectly tailored to his body. I look at him throught the mirror and I can feel my heart rate increase. The burnt orange colour of his pocket square matches the colour of my dress. I turn around and look at his face.
His eyes scan my body with so much heat that I can feel my body warming up with want. They settle on my chest and I can see him gulp. "Eyes are up here, Mr." I joke and he smirks. "I like the view." He smoothly responds an I blush.
"You look stunning." He says walking towards me. "My job is done here. You guys enjoy the party. Taylor, please be sure to take a thousand pictures." Lydia says and I smile, nodding at her.
We say goodbye to her and she leaves the room with her work case.
Dimitri suddenly grabs me by the waist and pulls me in for a steamy kiss that I can't resist. A small moan escapes me and I bite his bottom lip.
"Fuck." He mutters against my lips once I pull away slightly. Giggling, I stare up at him and he smirks. "I think we should just skip the party and gt naked." He says and I tut. "AFter all of Lydia's hard work. You're insane to think that I'd waste the opportunity to show off this beautiful dress." I say and he chuckles.
"Well then we better leave before I rip it off you." He says and I shake my head with a smile.
I grab the gold clutch that matches my simple heels and I stuff the lipstick, my phone and a few tissues into it. Dimitri grabs my free and and we make our way to the elevator.
On the ride down, I fix Dimitri's hair and he gives me a dazzling smile. "You look so handsome." I tell him and I can see a faint blush on his cheeks. He pecks my lips before pulling away.
"Thank you." He says and the elevator door opens up. We step out and I can feel multiple eyes on us so I scoot closer to Dimitri. He rests his hand on the small of my back in a protective manner and I feel my uncomfortability melt away.
A dark grey Mercedez Benz G-wagon awaits us right infront of the building and I feel giddy. This is one of my absolute favourite cars in the world and tonight I actually get to ride in it.
He opens my door and I get in after thanking him. The door shuts and he walks around the other side to get in. I say 'hi' to Eddie and he nods. "You look beautiful, Ms. Bennet." He compliments me and I thank him with a small smile.
Dimitri gets in and we drive off.
"I got you something." Dimitri says and I turn my body towards him. He pulls a flat velvet box from the front seat and opens it. Diamonds.
Beautiful, shimmery diamonds.
"Dimitri..." I say staring at the necklace, earring and bracelet set. "Do you like it?" He asks and I look him in the eyes. All I can do is nod. He smiles taking the necklace out and holding it up. "Turn around." He says and I do.
He lays the cold link on my collarbone and closes the clasp before handing me the earrings. I put them on and hold my hand out for him to put the bracelet on.
The jewelery goes really well with the dress and I feel complete. "Thank you, Dimitri." I say giving him a soft kiss on the lips. "Don't thank me, just sit there and enjoy it 'cause more is coming." He says and I shake my head. "No, this is already too much." I tell him and he smirks.
"Are you really going to turn away a gift that I get you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "No but you don't need to get me such expensive gifts." I tell him and he chuckles.
The car comes to a slow stop and I look out the window. We are standing infront of a huge mansion and I didn't even realise it.
There is a butler and what seems to be a photographer standing infront of the double doors and I feel the panic set in.
"Are you okay?" Dimitri asks grabbing my hand. I nod and he gives me a reassuring smile. "It's going to be fun. I promise." He says and I all I can do is give him a smile back. He hops out and comes around to open my door. "You ready?" He asks and I give him an unsure smile.
"I hope so."
