"Is this pretty?" I asked Anastasia who sat on the floor, legs crossed "Have you got a cardigan?" she asked me
I wasn't sure if I had one "Not sure" I said
She got up and opened my wardrobe trying to find a cardigan "Here, this will go really nice with the dress" she smiled handing over my light brown cardigan "Thank you" I said hugging her
She hugged me back "You're welcome"
I started taking off my pyjamas and got into my dress but struggled to do my buttons "Can you help me please"
Ana pulled me closer to her and did the buttons for me and helped me put my cardigan on "Bring me a hairbrush let me brush your hair"
I opened the drawer of my nightstand and took out my hairbrush that had the first letter of my name on "Here"
She sat on my bed and placed me on the floor between her legs as she started brushing my hair "Shall I tie it up or leave it open?"
"Open please"
She brushed through my hair and leaned over to pick up a hair clip that was randomly on the floor
I got up and looked at the mirror "I look pretty" I giggled
"You already are pretty" she said placing a kiss on my cheek. I ran downstairs to find one of my brothers to show my dress to
"Xander!" I ran up to him and hugged him behind the waist "Hey," he said picking me up and kissing my cheek "You look beautiful"
I smiled and kissed his cheek "Ana helped me"
Xander smiled "Get your shoes on, I'm driving you today," he said putting me down
I nodded and walked over to the door where the shoe rack was. I opened the cupboard and looked around. it was only my shoes that stood it since they were so bright and my brothers only wore black except Xavier who would wear white
I saw my sandals that matched my cardigan and took them out. I took a seat on the stairs and put them on "Xander!" I yelled
"One-second princess!" He yelled back
I just sat down and waited for Xander then I heard someone walking downstairs "Why are you not out yet?"
I turned around and saw Adriel in his suit "I'm waiting for Xander" I replied
He nodded and walked past me to get down "Have a good day alright?" he said kissing my forehead
I nodded and stood up since I saw Xander putting his shoes on "Did you get your bag?" he asked me
"Uhuh, it's there," I said pointing at the hanger. Xander reached over and got it down handing it over to me
