章 24: Chapter 23 A Glass Of Wine To You

Emma's POV

I avoided him for the entire morning and afternoon until it was time get ready for the auction. I was nervous.

Please don't embarrass him.?Please don't embarrass yourself.

I came from the bathroom and it was time to dress. I took my dress out of the closet and laid it on the bed. Black. I'd been in love with the color black since I was five years old. Black described my life; it was dark. Black like the sky at night when my parents dropped me on the doorsteps of a foster home. Black like the basement I had to sleep in.

I gently applied lotion to my caramel skin and put on my lace underwear. I slipped into my dress next. It was a long-sleeved?lace dress that reached just above my knees. I hoped it was appropriate for the function. I stood in front the full-length mirror as I combed my hair and applied my body fragrance. I put my shoes on and took a final look, making sure everything was perfect. I smiled at myself, I looked so beautiful.
