𝐘/𝐍 𝐏𝐎𝐕

I HAVE four hours before Emily comes to pick me up. To say I was stressed was an understatement. The panic started to settle last night when I made the mistake of googling the Embassy Gala. It was basically a government Met-Gala that only people with high status' could attend. I already felt out of place and I haven't stepped foot in there yet.

I really can't fuck this up or Emily will genuinely hate me. I thought as I got into the shower. Emily had thankfully been preparing me over the last week about what to expect. And by preparing I mean a five-sentence conversation that lasted less than a minute.

However, she had made it pretty clear that I was basically there as a piece of arm candy. She didn't use those exact words, but I knew I was there to make Emily seem more approachable.

I got out of the shower and let my hair air dry while I read a book, reading always seems to calm my nerves.

Two hours later I headed back to the bathroom to curl my hair. After I was done I worked on my makeup, which took way longer than it normally does because I needed it to be perfect.

I eventually made my way to my closet and pulled out the dress that Emily had delivered to me. It was gorgeous. It was a black dress with thin straps and a slit that went to my mid-thigh. The v-neck showed an appropriate amount of skin while also being professional. The dress was perfect in every way.

I slipped the dress on and headed over to my vanity to find jewelry that would go with the dress. After twenty agonizing minutes of me being indecisive, I finally picked out a matching necklace and earring set, along with a small bracelet and rings.

I headed to my living room and sat on the couch to put on my heels and play with Ivy since I still had twenty minutes to kill.

Those twenty minutes went by so much faster than I thought.

I heard a knock on my door and gave Ivy a quick kiss on the head before grabbing my bag and heading to the door.

When I opened it and saw Emily it took everything in me to not audibly gasp.

Holy. Fucking. Hell.

She was in a dark red dress that hugged her curves perfectly and went down to her ankles. There was a slit on her left side revealing a long and toned leg. Her dress also had a low-cut v-neck that accentuated her chest.

Holy fucking hell her boobs are perfect. I mean, I had noticed them before... respectively of course.....but tonight... Holy. Fuck.

"Y/n," Emily said softly, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yes?" I said, bringing my attention to her face, my eyes instantly drawn to her lips. They were a shade of red that contrasted beautifully with her ivory skin. God, she was mesmerizing.

"You look really nice."

"You do too," I breathed out quietly. I could feel my face already getting flushed from her compliment. I definitely should not be this affected by her words.

I immediately stepped out of my apartment and turned to lock my door so she couldn't see the blush on my face. Once it was locked we walked to the parking lot in peaceful silence. The sun had just set and the wind was slightly blowing.

Once we got to the parking lot we just kept walking further and further. I was beginning to wonder where the hell her car was until I spotted a limo toward the back of the parking lot. Of course, we were riding in a fucking limo.

She opened the door and gestured for me to get in. Once I sat down I looked around in amazement. There was a literal bar with drinks and everything at the front.
