A few days passed after the embarrassment of taking measurements infront of Manik. Those guys know how to make someone awkward in a second. Since that day Manik and I tried to avoid each other both from awkwardness and sudden attraction.

But we miserably failed and occasionally bumped into each other creating a spark every single time. How is this possible? No matter how many times I said to myself to stop thinking about him I couldn't control my thoughts which is making me angry day by day.

Now it's the 31st December evening and Malhotra mansion is filled with people in black, the Malhotra empire color. The workers are on their toes trying to make everything perfect. From the balcony, I saw huge cars riding towards the parking lot infront of the mansion.

Everyone were drop dead gorgeous. The Mafia men are tall, strong and dressed in suits while their ladies were beautiful, lovely, in their black dresses. And let's not even start with the Lady Bosses, they are a mixture of both the world!

I wasn't dressed yet as the makeup artists are making me ready.  They tied my hair in a loose bun and secured it with a bun stick. I preferred simple makeup and had a dark red lipstick for my lips, the only colour on my face.

"Jingle Jingle sweety!" The designers walked into my room. "Your dress is here."

Since, the makeup is done the artists left my room and proceeded to help other women. The designers opened the zip of a long plastic bag and revealed a beautiful, black dress from it. The other small boxes had lacy bra and panties.

"What are those?" I pointed at the inner wear.

"Bra and panties for your titties and ..." He started but I cut him off.

"I know what they are, but why am I wearing lace? I usually wear cotton innerwear."

"Cotton? What are you? A 5 year old? And what are we? Your grandmother?" He questioned clicking his fingers. "Honey, remember what I said, I am going to make you the sexiest woman alive at this party."

"I understand it. But why putting so much effort into innerwear? I mean nobody can see it, I could wear anything underneath a beautiful dress."

"Are you serious? Being sexy means both inside and outside! You can not just wear a sexy outfit and call it a day. You have to look and feel sexy." He paused and looked at my face. "I am already liking your sultry makeup. Nude face and red lips always draws dicks!"

I choked. What does he mean? I am thinking it's innocent makeup and he's calling it sultry?

The blind designer faked a yawn. "Do you realise new year's party is only for one evening and not the entire year? Hurry up.". He picked all the clothes from the boxes and handed it to me.

I looked at clock and it was already 9 in the evening and I hurriedly went into the bathroom to get changed. My room didn't have any walk in closets like Manik's room had, so I just need to use the bathroom to change clothes. The designers rolled their eyes for being so shy but I can't help, I can't change clothes infront of anyone.

I removed my old clothes and wore the black, lacy bra and panty. They perfectly fit my body and did not made me uncomfortable as the fabric perfectly hugged my skin. The only issue is it's kinda transparent and revealing.

"The inners are sort of revealing my skin." I shouted from the bathroom so that they could hear me and fix it.

"They are inners honey! They are supposed to stay low so that it won't pop up when you wear your dress." I got a reply from them.

I sighed and took the long dress in my hands. I pooled the dress in my hands and created a space for my legs to inside and pulled it up putting my arms in it. The dress perfectly hugged me in all the right places. I tried to clasp the tiny hook behind my neck but couldn't reach it and decided to take help from the designers.

Since the dress was backless my bra had suspenders which are now resting just above my hips under the dress instead of the mid back like usual.

I stepped outside the bathroom and stood infront of the designers. He gasped. "Oh my eyes! You are stunning. Look at that thick ass gurl!"

I didn't know how I looked so he pulled a huge mirror with lights infront of me to see my reflection. I gasped. That's a different woman infront of me. All my life I only wore frocks and this the first time I am wearing a dress, it is creating a different feeling within me.

My frocks are usually knee length and I never felt my legs were naked under them, but this dress was reaching till my ankles and had a high slit till my right thigh and suddenly I am feeling... Shy.

The dress had a halter neck covering my entire chest which did not make me awkward. I felt safe and secure as my cleavage isn't exposed. It was modest. I turned to look at my backside and I felt the need to cover myself.

My back was completely naked till my round hips. The dress was completely covering my bum and did not cover my back. Surprisingly, I felt naked on my ass than my back. The dress was like a second skin on my ass showing the perfect shape.

"I ... I need something to cover my... Body seater organ." I said feeling shy to say ass or butt infront of others.

"Body seater? You mean ass?" The blind designer asked and I nodded my head gaining a heartful laugh.

"We got such a naive girl!" They shook their heads and looked for something to cover my dress. After a few minutes of search they finally found a transparent, black shawl and wrapped it around me. I am a bit satisfied as this shawl made this dress modest.

I wore heals which added a few inches to my height and a few extra years. Now I look like an adult, the stunning women who used to attend parties at my home.

Finally, it was 10 o'clock at night and I stepped out of the room. The hallway had golden lights instead of the usual bright white light. Men and women were chatting, having drinks and snacks. The workers filling the empty drinks and food section. The guards as usual walking around with hawk eyes and observing everyone's behaviour. The music was light making the environment more relaxed.

Alya was dressed in a black suit and thick eye liner making her stunning. Thanks to my heels I almost became her height. Niyonika was also dressed in black long dress and wore a diamond necklace.

As I walked along my eyes unknowingly started searching for one person who seems to be not found. Many people complimented my look but I am not satisfied until I hear that man's words. Why is it so important?

"Well. Well. Our Boss is finally here." Someone from the crowd said and everyone broke into huge cheers and claps.

All the noise disappeared as I saw Manik walking towards the centre of the party. He wore a black suit, with his black shirt underneath and opened the top few buttons exposing his chest. His thick black hair gelled neatly making him look proper as well as relaxed.

Our eyes met and I shivered. Manik looked at my hair, my face, my body and back to my eyes. It was as if he was noting down an important lecture with his eyes. I felt happy for getting all his attention on me but also confused as why am I giving all my attention to him?

Everyone in the party wore black same as Manik. It was no difference. Only Harshad wore his signature white suit since he did not belong to the Mafia world. But my eyes did not even spare a second for Harshad or any other man in this party. As if my eyes were glued to one person, Manik.

I could not remove my eyes from him neither could he from me. We were just looking at each other as if the people around us did not matter, our roles did not matter, the time did not matter. All we needed was each other's presence. Unable to bear this torture I walked away from the party to my solace, my garden to breath.

Manik's private garden was also decorated in the golden lights. The plants were full of flowers giving their soothing smell making the place more beautiful. I felt an itching feeling behind my neck and I kept my hand to see if it's a bug only to notice that I didn't clasp my dress.

I forgot to ask the designer's help and how come they didn't notice it? They were making me look sexy but ended up making a mess out of me. But I remembered Manik's eyes, the way he looked at me as if there was no one as beautiful as me in the party.

I sighed with my confusing thoughts and tried to reach the clasp with my fingers which I failed miserably.  I felt another set of fingers on mine and instantly know it was Manik just by his touch. I stopped trying to fix the dress and let Manik help me. Since, I dropped my hands to my sides the shawl which was draped around me fell to the ground.

It was the same time he finished clasping my dress. I did not turn around to face him nor did I pick up the shawl from the ground. My breathing quickened as I could feel his eyes roaming on my body from behind. I can sense his eyes traveling from the nape of my neck to the length of my spine and fixed his eyes on my ass for more than required time.

Suddenly, the count down for new year began and the lights of entire mansion glowed on and off.

"10" everyone from the hall shouted which could be heard till this garden.

"9"

Manik saw me shiver in the cold air and picked up the shawl and gently wrapped it around me.

"8"

I saw Manik from the corner of my eyes as his breath fanned over my bare shoulders while wrapped it around me.

"7"

Finding my lost confidence back I faced him and we both got lost in each other's eyes.

"6"

Manik took a step forward removing the distance between us and I gasped bringing his attention towards my red lips.

"5"

We stood there syncing our heartbeats in a union.

"4"

The lights going on and off according to the countdown created a tense atmosphere around us. The moment the light went off I was craving to see him and I get satisfied when the light is back.

"3"

"2"

"1"

The entire mansion got dark. We closed any remaining distance between us and kissed. His lips on mine and my lips on him.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
