Well, this is the dress.
                          ~~~~~~~

The day was here. Stefan hadn't replied to my message so I didn't know what to think of it.

I told dad I was going out with a friend so I wouldn't be going to the shop today.

I was picking out a dress from my closet. It had been a year since I went out. Well that incident took it's toll on everyone. It felt nice to be going out again.

But what sort of dress should I wear? Ryan said it was a reunion for his friends. Maybe I should ask him.

I texted him and he replied immediately.

His text said- Although you look pretty in anything you wear, I'd love to see you in a dress. The other girls will also be wearing dresses.

I felt color flood my cheeks.

Suddenly, a text came from Stefan.

His text said- Anything is okay. I trust your implicity. Every time I see you in  one of your outfits, all I can think to myself is she's gonna be the death of me.

Okay, this guy had me blushing like a tomato. But I had told him I couldn't go tonight. Did he not get my text? I sent him the same text again and went back to thinking about how I was gonna dress up.

So, a dress it was gonna be.

I chose a colourful dress that complimented my curves. It was knee length. And for makeup, well I liked having a natural look. So, I picked peach color lipstick and brown liner. I was a 5'5" brunette with blue eyes. I loved my dark brown hair that was waist-length. After finishing my makeup I let my straight hair loose as I always kept it. I picked a red colored purse and put my phone inside.

*Dingdong*

The bell rang. It was 8.00 pm sharp. I answered the door.

It was Ryan. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I noticed the way he was looking at me. His jaw dropped slightly as he looked at me in wonder.
Did I really look that pretty?

"Kiera..." he muttered.

"Yes?" I chuckled.

"Y-y-you look beautiful. Okay beautiful seems like an understatement right now," he said.

I blushed.

His phone beeped and he received it.

"Yes, I'm coming," he replied still staring at me.

Then like a gentleman he put an arm around me and led me to his car. He opened the door for me and I got in. Then he took me to a mansion.

It was huge.

"Welcome to my home," he said.

"This is your home?" I asked. Thank god I didn't stammer.

"Yes," he cuckled at my reaction.

"Why do you work at the cafe?" I asked. Surely he didn't need a job.

"This is my parent's. I don't wanna depend on them for everything," he replied.

"That's nice," I replied.

"Well, let's go in. They are waiting," he said.

We entered the mansion. It had floors of marble tiles.

It was absolutely gorgeous. He took me to the drawing room. 7 people were already there. A blonde guy was sitting looking very relaxed. The other two guys looked a lot alike. Maybe they were related. There was a girl beside each of them. And there was another girl. She had brown hair and brown eyes. She must be his sister.

"So this is Kiera," the probable-sister said.

"Hi," I said.

"Guys this is Kiera," Ryan introduced me.

"And these are my friends and that's my sister," he said to me.

They said hi. We sat down. I sat beside Ryan.

I got to know them pretty soon and it was pretty fun actually. The guy who looked relaxed was Ryan's best friend. His name was Chris and his girlfriend was Selena. The other two guys were related. They were cousins. Dean and Drake and their girlfriends were Jade and Ella. And Ryan's sister's name was Rachel. 

We talked a lot. Then we had dinner. Dinner was awesome and I got to meet Ryan's mom. She was very pretty and even though at first I called her Mrs. O'Shea, later she asked me to call her Freya. Ryan's dad wasn't home. He was on a business tour.

At 10.00 I said it was late and I should leave. Like the gentleman he is, Ryan offered to drop me home.

We didn't talk much on the way to my home.

When we arrived, he opened the door for me. He walked me to my door.
Before going in I kissed his cheek.

"I had a great night. Thank you," I said.

"Anything for you," he winked.

Then I went inside.

I was going to take off my make up and change when the bell rang. Maybe  Ryan wanted to say something I thought to myself as I went downstairs to open the door.

Yup, a cliffhanger B) I had fun writing this chapter. I hope you guys have fun reading it.
