While I couldn't update. I wrote a lot down in a note book, so I have plenty and fast updates to do. It'll make up for the times that I couldn't :) Thanks so much for waiting.

As soon as we reached the stairs, both of us stopped. We hold our dresses up just over our feet so we won't fall and began to descend the stairs looking ahead of us.

A few persons started looking at us. Then more and even more.

I searched the crowd for Michael, but soon see him drinking champagne standing beside Leon and a few other guys chatting with smiles on their faces.

Michael put the glass at his lips to take a sip again but stopped and looked our direction. Yes! He shouldn't miss this moment. Both he and Leon is now looking us, then the rest of the guys.

Michael continues to gaze at me.

Do you know the look when you saw something beautiful that you didn't expect to see or just overall surprised. Yeah, that's how Michael is looking at me right now.

A huge smile formed on his lips as he watched me.

He and Leon are in the same suit just as I expected. But Michael is in blue while Leon is in...I don't even have to say it.

Michael is in a bright blue pants and jacket with his white undershirt showing as if he purposely left couple buttons unbuttoned and the same for Leon and both of them are in black pointed front shoes. They're so hot.

Everyone here is dressed formal. Not everyone is in long dresses like us, but some are and they have different styles and patterns.

I saw Michael touched Leon with his elbow. They hand their champagne glass to the men standing beside them, then started to walk towards us.

"They're coming Akeilia. Ohhh I feel like a princess everyone's watching". Monique softly said.

FLASHBACK

"Who?".

"Don't turn around".

"Who is it?". I asked curiously frowning.

"He's hot". She keep making glances at him with her hand on her cheek not wanting him to see her mouth moving and trying not to show her girly excitement.

"He's coming over". She said tapping my hand rapidly.

"What? Over here? Towards us?". I whispered.

"Yes".

"For what?". I asked nervously.

"What a question to ask me. Shhh". She whispered.


PRESENT

I giggled a bit remembering that.

The only difference from then to now is that, Michael isn't coming from behind me clueless. He's moving towards me and he knows exactly who he's coming to and the reason.

They both stopped at the base of the stairs. Suddenly the song alters to {Still by Brian McKnight}
