Chapter 19
(A/N all credits to the drawing of Raven in the blue dress go to me because I drew it. What, thought I had no other skills?! Ok, maybe I don't have any skills. But comment if you like or don't like my drawing! )
Claude and I are in our room, deciding what to wear to the engagement party. I was the most stressed out because this the first time in ages that I've been to a party.
Ever since the Christmas party last year, anyway.
That was the day I discovered what I truely was. What everyone else was.
I still can't believe to this day that I'm a demon.
Anyway, Claude is terrible at helping me pick a dress. He doesn't want to upset me so he doesn't tell me if any of the dresses look bad or not.
Of all the times to criticize me and he doesn't chose this one.
Usually, I'd go to Josie so that she could help me pick out some clothes for tonight but right now she has to put on her clothes first. That's, right. Just as I had predicted, that little 'hand' holding this morning lead to two extremely horny people in the guest room doing stuff that no innocent minds should know about.
'Okay, so how about this dress? How does it look??' I was wearing a light pink and flowy dress that came to my calf.
'Um...good?' He hesitated.
'No seriously, tell me!!' I protest 'Even I know that this dress makes my ass look too big. Be honest.'
'I don't want to hurt your feelings, though,' he tells me innocently.
'You used to always hurt my feelings!! Why stop when I need it the most?!'
'Fine,' he sighs 'But don't get mad if I do. That dress actually does make your butt look fat. Let's try another one.'
'Thank you.' I moaned, relieved that he has the guts to tell the truth now.
I pick out another dress; a hot pink one that is tight and stops mid thigh, I hold it up in front of my chest and look in the mirror before I start to go into the bathroom to change into it.
'Before you even put that one on let me just tell you that it will definitely not look good on you,' Claude stops me 'Pink is totally not your color.'
'Alright smartass,' I smile, walking towards him and putting my arms around his shoulders 'What is my color, then?'
He smiles too, placing his hands on my waist. He gets closer to my face and whispering in my ear 'Blue...'
'What?!' I laugh 'I don't even have a blue dress!'
He raises his eyebrow.
'You didn't....'
'I did...' He smirks, letting go of me and then getting something from under the bed.
I gasp, putting my hands over my mouth. It was this huge white box with a blue ribbon tied around it in a bow.
'Just consider it a really really early birthday present,' he says casually.
I take it from his hands and slowly undo the ribbon.
'You didn't have to buy me anything,' I whispered because my voice because really quiet and low all of a sudden.
'I'm your boyfriend. I can buy you anything I want to all the time and you can't stop me-' he says before I throw my arms around him and hug him tight whispering a 'thank you' in his ear. He slowly hugs back and then says 'Well open it, then.'
My hands are unsteady as I take the lid off of the box.
Inside is a neatly folded dress, a soft blue color.
'Alright, then. Go change,' he said in a bossy way only to hide the fact that he's happy that I like the dress.
I grin happily, taking the box with me to the bathroom.
Taking the dress out, I spend at least a couple of minutes admiring it. It was so beautiful! The fabric was light and soft, and it felt nice against your skin and the dress itself looked like it could make anyone who wore it look and feel amazing.
I wear the dress, giving a twirl in front of the mirror before I start to do my hair.
Nothing fancy, just a simple bun.
'Simmons, hurry it! I want to see what you look like!' Claude called impatiently.
I quickly got to the bathroom door, slowly opening it and walking out.
Claude gazed at me, faintly smiling as I wrap my arms around his shoulders and he fastens his hands on my waist again.
'You look...' He started to say while looking me straight in the eyes '...gorgeous, baby...'
I blush as he rests his forehead on mine.
'Do you, um, like the dress?' He asks nervously.
'Are you serious?! I love it!!' I tell him 'I love you.' I rub my nose to his.
'I'm glad you like the dress,' he continued 'Like I said, blue really suits you.' He grins.
'I can't believe you of all people figured it out.'
'Well, duh. I know everything that looks and goes best with Raven Simmons.' He smirked, his grip strengthening around me. 'Now go wait downstairs while I change into my suit. One thing I know is that Claude Helston looks extremely sexy in a suit!' He shoos me out of the room while I laugh out of control.
*****
We had to travel to the party avenue by car.
Josie and Lee had finally finished their...you know...so they quickly got ready and we went to Lee's car.
There were two booster seats in the back seats which I'm guessing are Amber and Alex's.
'Something I don't get is that your kids are both fully powerful and indestructible demons, so why do they need something as trivial as booster seats?' I tell Josie.
'Hey. Saftey first,' Josie replied firmly, doing her seatbelt while Lee took out the booster seats so Claude and I could sit. Claude rolls his eyes at her, sitting down and doing his seatbelt too.
'Everyone's buckled?' Lee asks as I get in 'Okay then, let's go.' He starts the car.
We drive down the road which is really steep and winding since we're driving down a mountain. It's getting dark and I just hope Lee can see down the road.
The worst thing is that it starts to rain. Josie's telling us that it will probably go when we get their but she can't even convince herself.
'Looks like Domi-dick's special day is jinxed,' Claude sniggers quietly but she hears him.
'I will tell him that you said that,' Josie said in a motherly tone.
The rain only gets heavier, but we all try a d look past that.
'It's been a while since I've gone to a wedding,' she sighs, looking out her window.
'I don't think I've ever gone to a wedding,' I admit, feeling kind of embarrassed.
'Well get used to it, honey, because there are more Helstons yet to be married!' She announces with a smile. 'Plus this isn't even going to be the wedding; it's just an engagement party!'
'Are those fun?' I ask nervously.
'I guess they are,' she tells me 'I remember in our one, my dad and Aunt Jo, that's Claude's mom by the way, go really drunk and had a rap battle.'
'It was hilarious!' Lee laughed, still concentrating on the road 'I think we still have it on tape.'
'Really? You have to show me!' Claude stood up in his seat, talking to Josie 'So who won? My mom or Uncle Seth?'
'Aunt Jo won by a verse!' Josie explained 'She was all like Bitch, let me tell you that your rhymes are out of stock, and also your ego's like bigger than than your cock!!'
'She actually said that?!' Claude laughed in disbelief.
'You know how their sibling bickering gets in the way of everything! I'd be surprised if they didn't have one again at this party!'
We finally arrived at the avenue. It was this huge hall, decorated with balloons and drapes and the tables and chairs covered in fabrics.
'Wow,' I look around in awe. 'This place looks amazing...'
(A/N I published this one even if it's really crap because someone *cough* --Bam-- *cough* was super Impatient!!! Also, yeah Mrs Helston and her brother have rap bettles when they're drunk, that's a normal thing.)
