It's Saturday night and I'm getting ready for the party at Rafael's place.

My hair is in curls and its in a half up and half down style. Two curls are at the side.

I smack my lips together after I apply the pink gloss to my lips. I can smell the strawberries from the gloss.

Evan loves the gloss I wear.

When we were in high school I was blueberry lipgloss and Evan leaned over to me. He sniffs me.

"Why are you sniffing me, Evan?" I
Ask.

"You smell like blueberry's."

I laugh. "Of course I do. I'm wearing you, idiot."

"What do you mean you're wearing?"

I point at my lips. "The blueberry's you're smelling is coming from my lipgloss."

He face turns red. "Oh," Evan looks at my lips. "Can I have some?"

I pull the gloss out of bag, but before I can give it to him his lips are on mine.

He pulls away after a couple of seconds. "Thanks,"

My lips are still tingling from when he kissed.

I can't believe he did that.

One of his many suitors approached and he stood up. He spoke to her for a bit before he turned back to me. "I have to meet the guys for a game of football. I'll meet you after school, Ari."

"Bye,"

He walked away with the girl.

Evan walks into the room. He looks at me. "You look beautiful, Ari."

I feel my face heat up and I look at the ground in embarrassment. "Thanks," I mutter.

The next second my face is in his hand and he lifts my face to meet his eyes. "Never look away from me when I compliment you. I love seeing what I do to you." He kisses the top of my head. "Tonight is our first engagement with a room full of important people. I'm looking forward to showing you off, Ari."

A smile spreads across my face. "Me, too." His tie is crooked and the knot isn't done properly. "First I need to fix this tie."

Lifting the collar up on his shirt I pull the toe off him. I undo the knot.

Putting the tie on I make sure the wide end is on my right side and the smaller on my left side and then twist the wode end around and then thread it through.

Pulling the knot up a bit I pull it off from me and place it on Evan.

I pull his collar down and adjust the knot.

He puts on a pair of gold cuff links that his mother got him for his twenty-first birthday.

Evan grabs his jacket out of the closet as well as mine. He helps me with mine.

I put arm through the jacket and I help him with his.

He take my hand and we walk out the door.

There's a limousine waiting for us in the driveway and the driver opens the door for us.

"Good evening, Mr Wilson."

"Hello, Thomas. I want you to meet my fiancé Ariana Houston."

He shakes my hand. "It nice to meet you."

I keep eye contact with him. "You too." I climb into the car and then Evan climbs in after me.

The door closes and then the driver climbs into his seat.

The car pulls away from the house.

When we get to Rafael's place I see the place packed with people and paparazzi.

Why would Rafael invite them to such an event? I don't want to be hounded by them when I make my way to the house with Evan.

Evan is a big deal.

While I'm a nobody. I know that will change once my face is on a billboard in Los Angeles.

I'm freaking out on that happening though.

I never thought that I was pretty enough to be a model, but being friends with my bosses has shown me that they don't care about size.

Over the years I have realised that they have been making clothes for bigger people too.

They told me recently that everyone deserves to wear something great and we're the woman to do that.

During the photo shoot yesterday I told the make-up artist to lightly apply make-up for me and they did it exactly the I liked it.

When Evan saw me on a red halter dress that had a slit to my thigh his mouth dropped open.

As I approached him I heard him whisper. "You look incredible, Ari. You should wear this to the party tomorrow."

Xanthe heard him. "Yes, you should. Don't forget to tell the paparazzi you're wearing Butler clothing."

I look at the red dress I'm wearing and smile spreads across my face. "I'm ready to show off my new dress."

Evan laughs. "Of course you are. It was designed by one of your friends and boss."

The door to the limo opens and we step out.

Evan holds his hand out to me and I take it.

As I step out of the car a few flashes go off.

I hate that the flashes like to blind me.

Pulling my sunglasses out of my bag I put them on.

It won't be that bad now.

"Evan, when are getting married?"

He looks at me. "We're going to make it next summer. I probably won't have any work by then. You know how the roles come and go for someone like me." He laughs.

A reporter says. "Does you're girlfriend know that you're engaged? The last we heard from you was that Bethany had to go away for fashion week."

Evan is quiet. He places his hand on the small of my back. "We should head inside."

I wouldn't want to spend much time with these people either. They like to stick their noses in everything.

The door to the mansion opens and I see Rafael standing with a group of people.

Xanthe's standing next to him and she has a smile on her face. She looks radiant in the golden dress she's wearing.

It has a dip in the back and her boobs are sort of on display. Her hair is up in a bun.

Grabbing Evan's hand I walk over to them.

Rafael looks at the group around him. "Everyone I want you to meet Evan Wilson and his fiancé."

A woman cuts him off. "Ariana Houston." She takes my hand in hers. "It's good to meet the face of Butler Inc." she looks at Xanthe and she doesn't look happy.

"Xanthe?" I say.

Xanthe looks at me. She doesn't say anything. She grabs my hand and pulls Evan and I away from the group.

That was rude.

When we're far away from the group she says. "That woman can't shut up for five minutes."

"Why don't you like her?"

She laughs. "That was Georgia Close."

No, way. I can't believe the nerd we went to high school with turned out like that.

"Wow!" Evan says. "She's turned out stunning. You've got competition with that one."

I slap Evan's arm. "Don't be rude."

"I'm being honest." Evan turns towards Xanthe. "Rafael will be an idiot twice over if he lets you walk away again."

Tonight is going to be interesting.

Rafael looks around the room and once his eyes connects with Xanthe's he says something to group and he walks over to her. "I don't want you to leave my side for the rest of the night, Xanthe. You're my date no one else."
