There was absolutely nothing she could do, and it was so annoying to know her sluggishness would worsen with time.
Keane was not at home, and she didn't get to think about him, thanks to social media and her online games.
A knock came on the door, grabbing her attention as she stared at the door, ordering the person to come in.
It was the butler, he walked in with a shopping bag and placed it by her bedside. She didn't bother moving an inch, not like she couldn't but because the butler always doesn't accept help saying he isn't that old and is capable of doing things himself.
So much like everyone in this mansion, not interesting at all.
"Good morning, Ms" he greets. For the first time since she entered the mansion, he smiles at her.
Her brows furrowed in disbelief, like is she dreaming or what? She thought, staring at him in utmost disbelief.
"Good morning, Mr" she struggles and says, blinking.
"Your dress for the ball" he informs. She could only stare at him with no words left. Gulping down her spits, she nods.
His eyes caught sight of the peels of chocolate boxes by the side.
"There ain't really good in such a quantity," he says. Confused by what he is saying, she raises a brow questioningly.
"Chocolates," he said, directing his gaze to the side. She was quite embarrassed not because he saw it but because she didn't throw her mess.
"Breakfast is ready…the young Master wants you to be ready by three" he informs. She nods, swallowing.
"Thanks" Her voice was faint but he was able to get her.
"My pleasure!" He turned to leave but was stopped by her.
She's still curious as to what the event they are to attend is all about and something in her won't let her be in peace
"The event, what's it all about?" She asked. Her voice was soft and low as if it would die out at any time.
"You'll get to know, when you attend…hurry up for breakfast before young Master gets back" With that, he left, leaving her wondering. After a while of thinking, her stomach grumbled only then did she jump out of the bed, and quickly clean her face before running down.
Later that day, Smiles walks out of the bath, with a towel tied around her chest and her hair.
She stood before the mirror, staring at her reflection. As always, she was beautiful, her pale silky body shining so brightly in the mirror making her look like a model fit for advertising women's lotions.
Her long slender legs were as though she'd never had a scratch on them. Water rolls from her hair down to her collarbone, showing off the fine structure and texture of her body.
Everything was so perfect except for one thing, his marks.
There were no hickeys on her body, and for some reason, it hurt.
Since she got to know about Lisa, he's not visited her, not once.
Why would he when he's all in one person?
She bites on her lips, aiming at bringing herself back to the present which she succeeded as she picks up her lotion and starts applying it on her body.
In the bag is a navy blue one-shoulder tight long sequin and silver platform heels. Sure enough, he knows what's trending for ladies.
Without wasting time, she puts on the dress, arranging her hair in an Arianna ponytail. As curly as her hair was, it was a beautiful look.
Her tiny yet beautiful figure could be seen in the mirror, the dress fit so well showing off her curves ladies die to get.
With nude lipstick on her pretty lips and a brush of her eyebrows and lashes, she was ready to go but not wanting to look so casual even though the dress she had on said otherwise, she applied some blush. Adding a dash to her ready excellent looks.
Taking her silver purse on the bed, she glanced at herself one more time, satisfied with herself before walking out of her room and heading downstairs where Keane was patiently waiting for her.
He was dressed in a navy blue suit with a white turtleneck inside complimenting his black shoes. His light brown hair was beautifully styled making him look like a god of beauty.
His eyes caught sight of her climbing down the stairs looking as intoxicating and alluring as she could ever be. He's always known she is a beauty since the start but this was mind-blowing. For the first time in his entire life, he finds himself stuck unable to move away his gaze on her.
With every step of hers, he could feel the bubbles in his stomach. Strange…with one gulp, he breathed heavily, willing himself to look away.
He was about to, he was almost doing it when she smiled, shattering all his efforts of resistance.
Just like her name, her smile is just so… no word fits to describe it. He was rendered helpless staring at the beauty before him.
Smiles kept on smiling, totally oblivious of what she was doing to him.
Well, it seemed like he wasn't the only one feeling strange because Smiles could barely count her heartbeats, and the butterflies in her tummy increased a thousandfold.
Taking him by the arms, he led her to the car.
This is the second time she's entering his car. Well, in real count it's the third, just she couldn't remember the first because she was too drunk to know her surroundings and that was at Mark and Xena's wedding.
The car stopped before a big gray mansion, and the media people were everywhere at the entrance, not missing out on taking as many pictures of the guests as possible. After all, it was Grandpa Jimmy throwing the party and nothing less could be expected. Beautiful decorations on the walls and more.
He gets out of the car with the help of his driver and walks to her side, taking her by the hand.
They walk side by side, into the hall. Smiles heart was dancing in excitement, her eyes never leaving their tags hands, enjoying the warmness of his hand on hers.
She stares at him, a smile spread on her pretty lips. Watching his handsome face and holding his hands is what she is sure to never get used to. Well, the camera guys didn't miss a shot, not when it concerned Keane Austin.
