"Alright," I whisper, and then Ace lets go of my hands and takes a step back.
He smiles at me one more time before walking out of the kitchen.
God. What do I even wear?
I leave the kitchen and walk towards my room. While I am trying to find something to wear, a knock on my door makes me stop. I open my room door and see Emma, Leo's wife.
"Hey. You need anything?" I ask and raise my eyebrow at her.
Emma smiles softly. "Ace told me you guys have a date and he said that you might need a little help."
He isn't wrong.
I don't know how to get ready for a date.
"I'm glad he noticed," I chuckle softly and open the door wider for her to walk inside. "Come on in."
Emma walks inside and I close the door after her.
"So where is he taking you?" Emma asks as she walks towards the closet.
"I'm not sure. He just said to meet him at his car when I was done getting ready."
"Well, you can't go wrong with a black mini dress," Emma says as she walks out of my closet with a black dress.
The dress is a silky fabric and has lace on the chest area. It is mini like she said.
I changed into the dress and then Emma curled my hair. For makeup, she didn't do much. She kept it natural but put a little bit of red lip-gloss and highlighter.
"Thank you, Emma," I say while looking at myself in the mirror.
"No problem, you look great," Emma says and she gives me a sad smile while looking at me through the mirror.
I turn around to look at Emma. "What's wrong?" I furrow my eyebrows at her.
"I'm fine. I just missed hanging out with someone," Emma admits.
I give her a sympathetic look. "If you ever need anything or anyone, I'm always here. We may not be that close but let me know if you ever need anything."
Emma smiles at me, and I pull her in for a hug.
After we break away from the hug, she wishes me good luck and I leave the room to go to Ace who is waiting outside.
I open the front door and see him leaning against a red Maybach. He is wearing a black tuxedo.
I walk down the steps and Ace looks up at me. When he sees me, he looks at me from head to toe and I feel the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.
I walk up to Ace, and he grabs a hold of my hand. "Così fottutamente bella," Ace whispers as he leans a little closer to me. I can smell the cologne that he put on, making me want to pull him closer to me. "Are you ready to go?" Ace asks and I nod my head. He smiles down at me and then backs away from the car only to open the passenger door. "Get in,amore."
Twenty Four
The drive wasn't bad.
It didn't take that long to get here.
Ace was playing music in the car as he drove. He played some really good songs like The Weeknd and Kid Cudi; two of my favorite artists.
It's a good thing I brought a jacket because when I got outside the car, I was freezing cold.
