Dilara

Chapter 101:

'Mimi,' I yell up the stairs. 'Alessandro's here!'

I turn to him and he's holding a huge bouquet of Dahlias.

'How do I look?' He asks nervously.

He's wearing a black suit, with a white shirt that's unbuttoned.

'Could be better,' I reply smirking. He rolls his eyes in reply.

Alessandro's eyes widen as he looks behind me on the stairs.

I turn around and see Mimi in a beautiful long, fitted, red dress with a slit down the leg. It shows her baby bump and she looks beautiful in it.

'Oh my god,' he mumbles.

'I know right.' I smirk.

Mimi gives me a quick hug and takes the flowers from Alessandro.

'Bring her home by eight.' I say crossing my arms.

Alessandro raises and eyebrow and Mimi turns to me.

'Im joking, you guys have fun.' I laugh.

'See you later,' she says.

Alessandro and Mimi leave and I run to the living room. I open the curtain and watch her get into his car.

I hope they have fun.

My phone beeps and I look down at the message.

Christianto: I'm free if you want to hang out?

Him and I are just friends for the moment. I'm not ready for another relationship, especially after finding out that he kept me being the heir of The Ravens a secret.

Me: give me half an hour.

Christianto: Driving to your place now.

I smile at my phone and run upstairs to get changed. I throw on a nice light blue, off the shoulder dress, and get started on my makeup.

When I'm done, I grab my keys and phone.

Christianto: I'm here.

Me: coming out now.

I leave my house, and get into his car.

'Where should we go?' He asks.

'I've been wanting to get a pair of heels, let's go get them.' I reply.

'From where?' He asks.

'Paris the store.' I reply.

'Expensive taste.' He smirks.

'I can afford it,' I smile.

*************
'These are the ones.' I say picking up the heels with a red bottom, and the letters YSL on the heels. 'These are the Saint Laurent heels.'

'I'm going to get one for Mimi as an engagement gift so we can be matching.' I say, turning to Christianto.

I ask the woman for both our sizes and she hands me them in a box.

'That'll be $56,000.' She says giving me a smile.

My heart sinks.

'Could I only get one of them please,' I reply.

I'll get one for Mimi and when I can afford it, I'll get myself another one.

'Are you sure?' Christianto asks. 'I can get it if you want.'

'No don't worry about it.' I reply.
