The Proxy Bride. Chapter 18
“EDWARD, nice house. Sorry I didn’t come earlier.”
“That’s fine, Al, and you’re here now. You aren’t with Ferry?”
“I called him. He said he was on his way here.”
“Speaking of the devil, he’s already there,” Edward said when he saw their friend was about to enter.
“Rossana, let’s go downstairs.”
She hesitated because, really, she’s uncomfortable with what she’s wearing right now. “I’m ashamed, Mica!”
“Oh, common, Rossana, be proud of your beauty. Hold me if you get tense. I’m telling you now, and trust me, you are stunning, gorgeous, okay. ”
Rossana smiles because of what Mica said. Yeah, what she said makes you feel confident in yourself.
“That’s right, Rossana, put a smile on, make you even more beautiful, let’s go now.”
Rossana nodded to Mica, and they were about to go down. Her chest was pounding hard.
Mica could feel Rossana’s nervousness same the day when they were going to the church for the wedding. She was shaking. She really felt it.
“Relax, Rossana, don’t show that you’re uneasy.”
Because this is my first time, Mica, wearing something like this. Is this what you’re wearing at a party? Is this like when rich people have house blessings and do parties also? In my place, after the priest had blessed the house, it was eating time just like that. ”
“Well, maybe, Rossana. I don’t
“Why don’t you, you come from a wealthy family.”
“Maybe they do, Rossana.”
When they were about to reach the living room, Rossana feels more nervous. “Mica?” she said.
Mica understood what she meant. “Rossana, just relax yourself and put in your mind that you and Edward are the only people right now. Okay, take a deep breath to get rid of it.”
Rossana did Mica’s say? She took a deep breath. “I hope I can do what you said, Mica.”
“Of course you can do it, Rossana. I know you are smart too. You just can’t use it, but one day I know it will come out properly. ”
“Thank you for encouraging me Mica. What if you’re not here tonight? I might just be in a corner. ”
“Because my vibes were saying that we were compatible in everything, Rossana.”
“Thanks again, Mica!”
“You’re welcome, Rossana; are you ready?”
“Yes, I’m ready.”
“That’s my girl,” Mica said with a smile.
All of Edward’s friends have arrived, as well as his business partners.
“Where’s your wife, Edward? I want to meet her.” said his friend, Yhesa, who is gay.
“Yes bro, why aren’t you with her? “Are you hiding her from us?” Ferry said.
Edward was about to answer when his friend Al spoke.
“She’s so beautiful, bro. Who is she?” He asked while looking at the two women coming down the stairs.
Edward immediately turned to the direction where his friend was looking.
Everyone looked at Rossana and Mica as they went down the stairs.
Even Edward seemed to lose himself when he saw what Al was talking about.
Rossana is wearing a black bare back dress that goes past the knees, so her flawless skin is very obvious and it fits her body well. That’s why you can see her Coca-Cola body.
“Ehemmm, you’re all in awe of her. Infairness, her beauty is really stunning, “said Yhesa.
“Edward bro, introduce us to her,” Al said. You could feel from his voice that he was excited.
Edward did not immediately respond to what his friend said.
“Hey, bro, speak to us. It’s like you’re surprised by her beauty. ” Ferry said. He elbowed Edward to wake up his mind.
Edward suddenly came to his senses when Ferry elbowed him.
“Huh? W—“What did you say?”
“We said, where is your wife?”
“Sure, I’ll introduce you to her. Let’s approach them.”
“Mica, I think my nervousness has doubled now,” Rossana whispered.
“Don’t make it obvious, Rossana, and get ready; your handsome husband is coming.”
Rossana looked at Edward and they were on their way to them.
“Rossana, stop your heart.” she told herself, because she was finding even more.
As the four men approached them, She will admit to herself that she admires her husband. Because now he looks like a model while walking with a smile. The four of them are handsome, but only the husband among them knows how to carry herself.
Mica noticed how Rosanna looked at Edward.
“Your husband is handsome, isn’t he, Rossana? “Don’t look at him too hard; he might notice that you have a crush on him,” she said with a smile.
“Mica, they are coming now!” She was still clinging to her arm.
“Just smile, Rossana,” she replied.
“Hi, beautiful ladies,” Edward greeted them.
“Hi,” Mica answered.
Rossana didn’t answer because she was too nervous if she spoke. Maybe her voice was shaking too.
“Ah, Ferry, Al, Yhesa, this is Mica.”
“Hi Mica, nice meeting you,” said the three.
“Same to you guys,” she replied. And she dealt with them.
“Excuse me, are they the only two beautiful girls here? May their beauties be not far apart, to them?” Yhesa’s artful language
“Okay Yhesa, you can dream. After all, it’s free,” Al joked to him.
“Hmp,” a grumpy reply from him.
“Oh bro, why did you only introduce Mica to us? How about her?” Ferry refers to Rossana.
Edward approached his wife and put his hand on her waist. because he wants to convey to them that the woman is his wife.
Rossana tensed at what he did because she felt as if his palm touched her waist. Even though she was still wearing clothes, she could feel his warmth.
“Well, meet my wife, Rossana, and Rossana, meet my friends, Al, Ferri, and beautiful Thesa!”
“You know what, Edward, that’s why I like you. No matter what favor you do for me, I do it because you know how to make me feel beautiful.” He looked at Al and Ferry. “Unlike these two, they didn’t appreciate my beauty,” he said to the two men next to him.
“Too bad you are already taken. Nice meeting you, Rossana. I didn’t recognize you right away because you are so beautiful! ” Al praised her as he reached into her palm.
Rossana doesn’t know why she feels a good vibe towards this man. “Nice meeting you as well,” she replied, reaching out for his palm.
Al squeezed her palm. Edward saw what he did. So the expression on his face changed, as if he was saying, “Why did you do this, Al?
Ferry noticed the change in Edward’s face, so he simply elbowed Al.
“Nice meeting you, Rossana; our friend is very lucky; you are lovely,” Ferry said, reaching out his hand.
“Same to you,” Rossana answered, reaching for his hand.
“I’m glad I met you, Rossana. I can see we’ll get along,” Yhesa said.
“Bro, why don’t you deal with your business partners? We’ll take care of Mica and Rossana first. They seem to be looking for you,” said Ferry.
“Yes, bro,” Al seconded.
“Yes, I will confront them with my wife so they can get to know her. Mica, join them first, okay. ” He will not agree to leave his wife to them. He feels that Al’s friend likes his wife the way he looks at her.
“Sure, Edward, no problem,” Mica said, turning to face Rossana.
Mica could read in Rossana’s eyes that she was asking for help. But she smiled at her. Her smile says Go girl, you can do that.
“So, let’s go. We will leave you now.” Edward told them.
“Alright bro, we’ll just enjoy being here,” Ferry replied.
Edward removed his hand from Rossana’s waist.
Rossana felt regret when Edward removed his hand from her waist. And suddenly she seemed cold. She caresses her arm. Earlier, she didn’t feel cold, because just now she could feel the warmth of his body.
“Are you cold?” Edward asked because he noticed what she did.
“A little.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Edward stared at his wife. Rossana was nervous about his gaze, that he might mock her. And tell her why you’re wearing it like that if you feel cold.
But she was surprised by what he did because he grabbed her palm and they walked hand in hand to where his business partners were.
