Chương 38: Chapter 38 Unsurpassed emotions

I looked out of the window as I remembered all those wonderful things that took place today.

'Today is my day of joy,' I thought and then diverted my gaze away from the beauty of the sky to Camella who was sleeping so soundly. I knew that if I didn't meet her sleeping by now, I would still have been telling her about everything that went on between me and Julian. I knew she would have waited for long but since we came very late I guess that's why she went to sleep.

And talking about Julian; he is the main reason I can't sleep: I mean who would expect me to sleep so easily after hearing those sweet words.

What if I slept and I realised that it was not true, that I am actually in a dream world. No! that would be way frustrating and I would just rather remain in this dream world than come back to the real one.

I returned my gaze to the pretty sky as I wondered what being someone's girlfriend felt like. How does being Julian's girlfriend feel? I had never once imagined myself dating or having feelings for someone but here I was doing unexpected.

"How does it feel to be in a relationship?" I asked the beautiful stars and they smiled at me conveying back to me that what I thought about it was right: that it was wonderful.

'Was it the same feeling I was feeling right now, that all girls felt? Were they this crazy about it' I thought and an image appeared in my head...

An image of Julian holding my hand as we walked in a flower garden but I shrugged those thoughts away as I headed towards the bed.

'Goodnight Julian,' I soliloquized and before a twink of an eye, I fell asleep.

...

I woke up as I felt in the best way ever, I stretched my hand widely and I looked by my side expecting to see Camella sleeping by my side but she wasn't there.

Then I turned to see what time it was wondering why she would leave if it was early and when my gaze nabbed what the time was,

I couldn't believe it: I slept for close to 18 hours! And this was already 2:pm.

Why didn't Camella wake me up!

I hastily got out of bed as I dashed toward the bathroom. I stayed in the bathroom for long and I spent most of my time there cleaning off my makeup.

It took a lot of effort for me to get it off my face but in the end, it came off.

I emerged from the bathroom already dressed, my hair was damp and my cheeks were pinkish from the heat of the bathwater. I heard a knock on the door and with the notion that it was Camella, I hurriedly went to open the door.

But immediately my eyes met with who it was, my gaze narrowed.

"Julian?" I called him a little bit surprised by his visit and his lips curved up as he noted me.

"Did you miss me?" He asked mischievously and I nodded as my face flushed bright red.

A pleased smile became visible on his lips as he crossed our distance and whispered in my ear "Get ready, I wanna take you somewhere special," He said and I felt my heart flush from the word 'special,'.

"I will be waiting downstairs," He said and before I could even blink - he was gone.

'Special place? What kind of place?' I thought as imagined the possible places he could take me to on our first outing as a couple.

'Was it a restaurant? A beach Or a garden?' I thought but it didn't take long for me to push those thoughts away since I was aware that he was waiting for me; I would just have to wait to see it.

My gaze searched for the perfect clothes to wear for what he called 'special,' but I couldn't find one. And just when I needed her; the door opened and Camella entered. I hastily went to her as I brought her beside my wardrobe.

"I need your help Cami," I said as my eyes darted between her and the dresses and when I saw the confused expression on her face; I knew I needed to explain.

"Well.....Julian asked me out," I began and her confused face lit up, she was about to start shouting, yelling or jumping but I continued "And I accepted," I said and then I looked at her expression: she froze for a moment as if she was digesting my words and then a smile appeared on her face and the next thing was her scream.

"Ooh. my. God." She began "I can't believe I have been so left out!"

"Geez... This is so unimaginable. I need to cry!" She said as she started jumping and I smiled.

"Wait! You guys are going out, am I right?" She asked when she was done with her jubilation and I nodded remembering that Julian was waiting for me.

"Yh, that's why I need you. I don't know what to wear," I said and then her gaze drooled at all my dresses.

"Is this one okay?" I asked her as I brought out a shirt and a pant but when she saw them, she frowned.

According to her, I didn't have with me a dress which was suitable for a couple date; so she decided to give me one of the new dresses she brought along. When I saw that mischievous smile on her face when she talked about the gown - I guessed what it would look like but what I even thought about was better because what she brought me...

Holy sh*t. Was this girl dressing me up like a seductress?!

"Camella, I think this is too much. Remember that other people might see me before Julian does," I told her but she just ignored me as she pushed me inside the bathroom along with the clothing.

"Be fast. Your dearest is downstairs," She smiled and without even waiting for me to say a word - she banged the door.

My gaze stayed fixated on the gown for a long while before I finally decided to try it on.

I slid into the tight gown: since I saw it, I knew what I was expecting but when I saw it on my body, it looked more flaunting. It was very tight revealing my figure a little bit too much and it had a spaghetti strap which made the dress reveal my shoulders. The only good thing about it is that it was very long.

Yes, I knew the dress was very pretty, its look was alluring. It was a simple gown; it was plain black and I wouldn't have a problem wearing it if not for its tightness.

To me, it didn't suit a date.

"I don't think this suits a date," I told Cami when I got out of the bathroom but she frowned.

"Jessy remember that now you are not only dressing for yourself but also for someone else," She said.

"But_"

"No, don't argue. Do you want people to see you guys walking hand in hand and wonder why the guy you are walking with chose to date you?" She asked and I shook my head.

"Then go," She smiled

"Yes, I understand what you are trying to say, I know the notion you have.

You want to be yourself. Right?" She asked and I nodded in agreement.

"I don't just want to be looking different all of a sudden - I don't like it," I said.

"Yeah, and you won't change. You will only get better. Look simple and look splendid." She said and I smiled understanding her words.

"Thank you, Cami. You are wonderful,"
