Scarlett's POV:

"Ashton, aside from the gala which is tonight, what else would we be doing in Paris during our stay?" I asked fidgeting with my hands.

"We have a meeting with Mr. Phillips" He replied, furiously typing on his phone.

"And?"

"You'll see" I could have sworn his lips twisted into a smirk when he answered.

"Careful Scar, I know this man is surely up to something. Maybe he's gonna take you up the Eiffel Tower and push you from the top" my inner voice smiled evilly.

SHUTUP!!!

He finally lifted his head and looked at me.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I didn't bring any dress for the Gala. You could have told me before," I said not looking at him.

He laughed "You're impossible Scar. Don't worry, I already have a stylist coming here. She'll do your hair and makeup. She'll also have a few dresses for you to choose from that have been pre-approved by me."

I was shocked by his actions. He guessed me very well.

"Thank you so much," I said quietly.

AT 5.00 PM.....

"Well how about you go hop in the shower and we will get started on making you more beautiful," the stylist said.

"Well, she's already beautiful Lilly," Ashton said coming into my room.

"Yeah, she is Ashton," she said smiling and hugging him as he returned the hug.

Why is he hugging her? Why am I jealous?

Jealousy is bad for the health Scar

I'm not jealous.

Yes, you are

No, I'm not.

"Now go to shower Scarlett, or you are going to be late," she said. I got done with a nice shower. I walked out of the room in a robe.

"Now let me work my magic," She sets me down at the vanity. She dried my hair giving it lots of volumes and then styled it. Next is my makeup. Very dramatic. More than I have ever done myself. An hour later she's done with everything.

"Wow, you look amazing," She tells me. "Now go get your ass in there and put this on," she said handing me the dress. What's with her attitude? Why is she being bossy?

I went to the dresser and grabbed a thong to put on. I won't be able to wear a bra in the dress. Making my way into the closet, I took off the robe. After changing into a black satin thong, I slid on the dress.

I exit the closet to see Lilly standing with her jaw on the ground.

"Is it that bad?" I asked hesitantly.

"Holy hell you are so hot!! Damn woman, you make me horny" she said laughing. I blushed.

"Can I come in?" Ashton asked from the other side of the door.

"Of course, even if I say no, you would come in anyway," she said.

"True that," he said entering the room.

He froze in his spot.

"Do you approve?" she asked.

"Hell no!" I nervously looked at him "You'll not go out of this room looking that hot". Now I giggle.

"Thank you," I said blushing.

I made my way to the full-length mirror and looked at myself for the first time since I was ready.

It's a mermaid spaghetti straps blue dress. "Wow" Is all that I can utter. "That's not me, thank you, Lilly, you make miracles."

Yeah, if she isn't here then you would have made yourself a clown.

Why can't you die?

I die if you die stupid.

 I rolled my eyes.

"Oh honey, I hardly did anything. Most of it god gave you. You are naturally gorgeous"

"Yeah, she is," Ashton said from behind, I can't stop blushing.

Ashton is drool-worthy standing in front of me in a tux. He's looking at me like he's going to eat me alive.

Once done, we got all settled and headed out.

"Have fun tonight kids" Lilly yelled from behind.

I looked at Ashton confusedly. He gave a knowing smile and smirked.

What's in his mind?

As we make it downstairs, there is a black Lamborghini limousine.

"No shit," I said loud enough for him to hear. He chuckled.

"Never been in one?" he asked.

"Of course not! I mean look at me," I realized what I said but can't take it back.

"I am," Is all he said.

The driver opened the door for us as we climbed in. I've died and gone to heaven. This is so nice.

"This is freaking awesome Ashton," I said looking around. We sat side by side. He snaked his hand around my waist and pulled me towards him. I looked into his eyes.

"Thank you for coming with me Scar. You look gorgeous," he said gazing at me.

"Thank you. You look handsome by the way" I said in a low voice.

He lift my chin and kissed me on my cheeks. I felt myself heating up. Taking a deep breath I composed myself.

"What's the plan for tonight?" I asked.

"Well, for you, you just need to smile and look beautiful on my arm".

"Umm, Ok I'll try my hardest," I said nervously.

"You don't need to try at all Scar. You are oozing sex appeal. Every man in there will wish they were me and every woman will consider changing sides" he laughed.

How can someone be this handsome?

"We are here. Are you ready?" he asked.

"As I'll ever be"

"Come on beautiful. Let's go show you off".
