16 Birthday party 1 (1/2)

It has been a busy week. I have met many people who wants to sell my clothing line in their shops.

It was Saturday and that evening will be Julia's birthday party. Her party is formal so I'm in my walk in closet looking for something to wear.

”Queenie.” Andrea knocked on the door.

”Come in.” I said.

She entered my closet. ”Are you ready tonight.” she asked.

”I am, in more ways than one.” I said while searching my wardrobe one by one. Then I picked two type of dress. One that was red knee length tube dress that balloons at the waist down. And one royal blue fit dress that has one off shoulder and accented with sequence beads.

”Okay what do you think?” I face Andrea and hold the two dresses.

Andrea was thinking. ”The red dress gives a hot and sexy look. The blue one gives you and elegant and sophisticated look but still has a sexiness in it.” she said.

”Then I'll go with the blue one. I need to be elegant but still sexy.” I said placing the red dress back.

I walked across the room and took my royal blue heeled sandals and purse with beads.

Andrea was giving me a worried look. I sighed and sit down beside her. I held her hand and leaned on her shoulder. ”I know you're worried Andie. But don't worry I will be very careful. I have planned for this day for 4 years. It's time to see my family again.” I said.

I here Andrea sighed. ”Call me if anything happens. I will be there as fast as a lightning strikes.” she said to me.

I smiled. ”I'm sure you will.” I said.

I unconsciously hold the ring hanging near my heart.

My car arrived at the venue. This is the mansion that dad has been living in after my mom died. It was a huge mansion with a beautiful garden at the front. The way was illuminated with moonlight. I look outside and see pink roses in full bloom. Pink roses are my mom's favorite. 'Why did my dad planted pink roses here?' I thought. When my mom died we left the villa where we lived together. He tried to evade anything that lets him remember my mother, including me. So why is there pink roses here?

I was wearing the blue dress I picked this morning. I wore makeup with blue eyeshadows and light pink lipstick. I have styled my hair in a side ponytail with a blue flower hair ornament.

The car reaches the mansion. Many cars are lined up and guests are coming out one by one. When I looked at them I recognize that they are well known people like politicians and businessmen. People that are in power. Taylor stops the car near the front.

”Ma'am I guess this is the closest that we can get. There are many cars lined up at the entrance.” Taylor said.

”It's okay Taylor, I'll get off here.” I said.

Taylor exited the car and walked towards my door and opened it. He helped me out.

”Thank you Taylor. I can go from here.” I said. Taylor nodded and entered the car.

I see many guests having partners. 'Unfortunately Julia stole my partner for tonight. But no matter I can do without it.' I said to myself.
