Chapter 96 Old school night
Chapter 96: Old-School Night
Allan had texted Golden to meet at the party venue. He needed to be there early to make sure things were in order.
Alex and Golden decided to dress up from Chinatown. They sought the input of Rosalie and Nana Chen.
It was nice to have older females around for things like this.
Golden decided to go with an off-shoulder flowery short flare dress. She paired it with elbow length gloves and a small neck scarf.
She styled her hair up in tight curls, went for a light makeup but decided on bright red lips.
She completed the look with a pair of vintage glasses, a small sling purse, and open-toe wedge heels.
Alex decided to humor Linda. She had always referred to her as Chinese Barbie which was meant as an insult.
So for her look, she went for a short pleated neon pink leather skirt, a white button down shirt sleeve shirt with a pink bowtie.
She packed her hair in two high pigtails with two pink bow hair clips. She finished the look with knee high pink and white striped socks paired with pink platform heels and a clutch purse that was shaped like a radio.
When she was done dressing up, she turned to Nana Chen and Rosalie and asked: “how do I look?”
“Like a 90's Chinese Barbie doll” Nana Chen said. “Is there a reason why you went for this look because it is pretty specific.?”
Golden laughed realizing what Alex had done. “Nana, when Alex just transferred to OCU newly, a classmate called her a Chinese Barbie as an insult. I guess that's the reason Alex decided on this look” she said.
“She's the social director and chose the theme, I just decided to humor her.” Alex said while she applied her lip gloss.
Nana Chen nodded in approval, while Rosalie laughed and gently rubbed her growing bump.
Fab arrived to pick up the girls. He was dressed like an 80's English professor.
He geled his hair backwards, wore a plaid shirt with shorts and suspenders. A knee high socks and slightly big shoes.
He had on a fake moustache and big round glasses.
“You look just like one of my professors from way back in the 70's” Nana Chen said to Fab.
“That's exactly the look I was going for Nana, I'm glad I nailed it.” Fab said as he greeted Nana Chen and handed her the gift he had prepared.
“I came across this bottle of wine in the cellar and I thought you might enjoy it Nana.
Rosalie, Alex said you've been craving chocolate chip cookies a lot these days so I grabbed you some on my way here.” Fab said as he gave his gifts.
“Gosh you are a darling, Rosalie said as she smiled at her cookies. You certainly are going to be the triplets godfather.”
“Really?” Fab asked wide eyed.
“Keep buying them goodies and you will be.” Rosalie said, already munching on one cookie.
The trio left afterwards and chatted on their way. By the time they got to the hotel, the party was already in full swing.
They were impressed with how the venue turned out and they weren't the only ones that felt that way.
When they stepped in, a few people came up to thank them for making the party what it was.
Some people were on the dance floor dancing to the old school music playing. Some were by the buffet table choosing what to eat.
Golden scanned the hall with her eyes for Allan and didn't see him anywhere.
“Looking for your boyfriend?” Alex asked shouting over the loud music.
Golden just smiled and didn't say anything. Fab signaled them to go get something to eat.
They went to the buffet table to pick out some food.
Golden smelled him even before he got to her. Allan got to where Golden was standing, backing him and used his hands to close her eyes.
“Allan, I know it's you.” Golden said with a smile.
“Hey that's no fun,” he said going to stand in front of her. “You look amazing by the way.”
“Thanks. You don't look bad yourself. Prince huh?” She said, reference his Prince outfit, complete with a guitar.
“Ahem! Incoming.” Fab said to get their attention. “Linda is marching this way and she looks like she's about to obliterate you Gigi.
With the murderous look in her eyes, one would think you stole her boyfriend.” Fab said sipping on his punch and adjusting his glasses.
“Maybe I did.” Gigi said with a sly smile. They turned and gave her a questioning look.
“I'll explain later okay? Let's see what Cruella De’vill wants first.
Linda approached them and put on a fake smile when she got to them.
“I see you finally embraced your true nature,” Linda said to Alex giving her a once over look.
“Well you've called me Chinese Barbie so many times that I was beginning to think if it was a fantasy of yours.
So tonight, I decided to make your fantasy a reality. You are welcome.” Alex raised her cup to Linda and every other person tried to stifle their laughter.
Linda rolled her eyes at Alex. She was angry but decided to let it roll off her back.
Golden wouldn't be smiling for much longer. She had come into the hall with Allan, but he had left her to go talk to Golden.
She had noticed the whole little exchange between them and she couldn't stand it so she went over to pull him away.
She wasn't thinking rationally. She wanted to expose Golden and Allan for cheating to get at Golden, yet she didn't think for a second what it would do to Allan's reputation.
She figured that he already had the bad boy label so people wouldn't be surprised. If anything, Golden would barely the backlash.
“Allan, can you come over, we need you to officially open this event.?” Linda said, smiling at Allan.
“Sure let's go. I'll be back soon,” he said smiling at Golden.
Linda pulled his hand and hooked hers around his as they left. She looked back and glared at Golden before turning and smiling to Allan.
“Why does it feel like a mistress is stealing the husband from the wife under the guise of work?” Alex asked.
“You read my mind. I thought exactly the same thing. Gigi? Is there something you are not telling us?
You are too quiet and don't seem surprised or moved with the way Linda just acted.” Fab said quizzically.
Gigi smiled and said nothing as she watched Allan and Linda go away.
