“What’re you wearing?” Greek accent in his voice came His eyes roamed up and down my body, his lips tightening. His forehead creased as he straightened me on my feet. Even though there were dark shadows under his beautiful eyes, and he’d Jet black hair gelled back and the ring on his right brow wasn’t there today. In a pink mid-t***h fairy dress, Tess looked like a real fairy,

Carefree playful Ace turned into a lost and always angry Ace. Andįamily faced a year ago, his visit in our home had lessened. Last month when he played chess with me, he’d promised me he’d be here tonight. But the day he saved me from some bullies inīeen here by now. I still remembered that day clearly in my vague memories. Prince from the day he stepped into our house with Tobis when I was just seven. Little baby looks so beautiful today!” she gushed, her smileīut… I couldn’t find matching jewelry with it,” I They stood close to each other, as always. And my too short dress made me more uncomfortable. I was nervous for tonight’s meeting with Ace. Almost half of the renowned families were invited today.Ĭlammy and my chest thudded. So no one wanted to miss this special event. And every occasion at Hutton family was known to be grand. Today was my older siblings’ nineteenth birthday.

“Alright, let’s go now! Otherwise we will miss your brother and sister’s grand entry,” she chirped, sauntering outside. “Is not! You’re wearing that and that’s final!

So obviously, Ace was her best friend too. I’d cut my waist length hair to my shoulder and tamed my wild waves into straight. But it’s alright, this also suits you,” commented Beth. “Em, you’re looking stunning! Though I preferred your long wavy hair. I think I was ready to confess my feelings to him today. I knew whatever Ace had said that day was because he didn’t want to break a nine year old’s naive heart. Well she already had one at the age of fourteen, and is on her fourth at fifteen now. But to remember and understand, I’d written those words into my personal diary.Īnd Casie said at this age we were big enough to have a lover. I didn’t know what that meant at that moment. I’d waited till that day to bloom into a rose. “When you turn into a blooming rose from a rose bud.” “Then when will be the right time?” I gazed up at him with so much hope. He bit his lip, his eyes lit up with amusement.
