Preparations

Jackilynn's POV
3 weeks later, my cheek was all healed. people would come and greet me as if I was already their queen. I started to think there was no what of getting out of this. I hadn't talked to Piérré lately.
As I walked down the hall to the dining table, I heard somebody talking on the other side of a door. I listened intently.

"The fire burned everything."

"Everything? As in, him too? is he dead?"

"No son he is not dead."

Who are they talking about?

I decided to leave and headed down to the dining room. As I sat down, Piérré had just entered the room.

"It's nice to see you again Jackilynn." he said with a small smile.

"Same to you Piérré." I replied not making eye contact.

"Jackilynn, why do you hate me?" He asked out of the blue.

I looked up at him. "I do not hate anybody."

"Then will you go on a date with me tonight?" I gave it a quick thought.

"It would be my pleasure." I said with the same tone.

Dinner put me in a better mood. the conversations and laughter cheered me right up. but as the plates where being cleaned up, I immediately thought of the date.

Piérré noticed my alarm and said, "maids will be upstairs to help you get ready." then he got up and left.
I stood up and fixed my clothes then walked back to my room. 2 young women were standing by my bed looking at 2 dresses.

"This one will look beautiful on her!" a brunette said.

"But this one is stunning!" Said a blonde.

I cleared my throat to get their attention. their heads turned simultaneously.

"Oh! it's you! here, you can help is pick a dress." the brunette said while pointing to the dresses. I walked over to them and gave a stare.

"I'm wearing a ball gown on a date?"
They both nod their heads. "why? is there something wrong?"

"I'm not wearing a ball gown on my date."

"And why not?" Said the blonde

"It's too fancy, what is we do something in the woods? or if we just go on a walk?"

"She right, Lilly. what if it gets torn? then she'll be a mess!" I walk over to the gigantic closet and pick out a nice floral dress. It was a high low dress that was blue with pink flowers on it.

They looked disappointed with my choice.

"I like this dress. I'm wearing it." I said while undressing. I pulled the soft fabric over my head. I pick out a pair of shoe to match. Pink flats.

I twirled around in front of the mirror and was satisfied with my decision.
"Let us get started with your hair and makeup. I will do your hair, while Lilly will do your makeup."

"Not to much makeup please, I've never worn it before." I say. Lilly just nods and gets to work.

Before long my hair and makeup was done. my hair was done in soft waves. and my makeup was pale pink lipgloss to complement my dress. and some blush the same color.

I took a long hard look in the mirror. then smiled. I stood up and thanked the 2 maids. I then left the room. I walked down the stairs slowly trying not to trip over my dress. I saw Piérré standing by the door talking to his dad.
I looked up and saw me. he smiled in approval. I smiled back and walked over to him.

"Well don't you look lovely." his dad said giving my hand a kiss. I blushed. then he walked away.

I looked at Piérré. he was wearing a navy blue V-neck with shorts.

I saw him look at my dress, then my shoes, then my hair and face.

"If your done looking at me, I say we should get going before it gets dark." I say. he smirks and holds out his hand for me take, I grab it softly. my small hand in his. I wave goodbye to the people at the doorway. then we walk off on the path.
