CHAPTER 9
Ava and Paris were in Ava's room putting the finishing touches on Ava's outfit when they heard a knock on the door.
“That should be Brett,” Paris said excitedly.
Ava couldn't help but feel a little anxious about the whole thing. She suddenly felt nervous which was surprising considering this while she had been calm about the idea. She got her composure back.
“You're right, let me get the door”. Paris gave her a big reassuring smile.
She walked to the door and after taking a deep breath in she opened the door and as expected there he was, Brett, standing at her door with a bouquet.
As his eyes focused on her, his face instantly lit up making her feel more confident. He took a quick look at her outfit
She was wearing a light purple silk blouse with tiny butterflies printed all over it. The blouse has sleeves and buttons down the front. Ava paired the top with a black skirt that has a few layers of flowing fabric. The skirt made her look delicate and feminine. Ava finished off the look with silver jewelry and black heels. This outfit captures the essence of romance and beauty.
" You look beautiful," he said as he stepped in and offered her the bouquet.
"Thank you," she said, taking the bouquet, smiling as she smelled the flowers. “ I'll be right back, please come in” she said as she went into the room and he followed suit.
Brett comes into the room and that's when he notices Paris.
“Hi” she said politely when his gaze landed on her.
“Hey,” he replied in a calm, inviting tone, his expression soft. “ you're Paris right?” He says surprising her a bit. She had no idea He even knew who she was since she hardly ever visited the mansion.
“Yes I am” she replies with a smile.
“Ava talks a lot about you.” He said.
Paris blushed “That's really nice of her, she's a very lovely person”.
“ She is,” he agreed. “ I'm glad she trusts you,” he added.
She smiled at him,"Well, she's always been there for me too, so she deserves to have someone she can trust."
Ava walks back into the room with the flowers in a vase and drops them on the table.
“ I'm back” she looked up.
“Alright, are you ready?” Brett asked.
“I am” she replied then looked at Paris.
Paris understands the scenario. “ Don't mind me, I'll see myself out” she said with a smile.
“Alright” Ava replied.
“ It was nice meeting you,” Brett said to Paris.
“ same” she replied and they both left the room.

Brett and Ava were walking down the grand staircase when Ava heard Anne's voice behind her.
“ Where are you guys going?”
Ava turned around. “ Oh, we're going to the carnival”.
She kept quiet for a while as her gaze moved from Ava to Brett occasionally. Brett excused himself to go and warm up the car.
On his way out he heard his sister say a few more words. “Ava I need to talk to you when you come back okay?” She said in a light tone.
“ alright,” Ava replied. “ I'll remind you”
