ROSALINE

I woke up to two boxes on my bed, I looked around and saw my roommates staring at me.

“Open these boxes” Skylah said as they all moved closer to my bed. I sat up and started unboxing the bigger box. It contained a nice purple gown and a silver bag.

Min-A snatched the bag from my hands, “wow”, she exclaimed, “it is beautiful” she said, turning the bag

“Open the second one” Mabel said, as I opened the box and I saw a silver shoe inside, it had small heels and it looked really nice.

“There is a letter inside” Min-A said

I opened the letter and read it,

“will pick you up at 10:00 am”

I checked the wall clock and saw that it was 9:00

“where did all this come from? And who is picking you up at 10?” Min-A asked

“Don Alessandro” I said

“what?” the three girls exclaimed

“why is he picking you?, why did he get you a nice dress?, what is going on?, what have you not been telling us?, where is he taking you to?, is he taking you out on a date?” they all asked

“well, he said he wants to take me out on a date, to apologize for maltreating me” I spoke nonchalantly.

“and you believe that?” Mabel asked

“what else could the reason be?” I asked, and they all shared glances

“baby girl, do you really think you are the first person Don Alessandro will maltreat?” Min-A asked and I shrugged

“this is the mafia and believe me, Don Alessandro has done worse things than maltreat, but you don’t see him taking anyone out on a date” Min-A continued

“so what are you insinuating?” I asked

“he probably likes you” Sky said, and I burst out laughing,

“you are saying don Alessandro who obviously doesn’t like me and has shown it in different ways, probably likes me?, that’s not possible”. The girls looked at me like I was out of my mind

“Ten minutes has passed, I better hurry up” I say as I walk to the bathroom

I had already dressed up and Sky did my makeup, while Min A did my hair, with Mabel giving us premium gist

I checked the wall clock and it was already 10:45am, Alessandro was running late, the girls had already gone to their duty post. I was still waiting for him, all dolled up….

..but he never came.

45 minutes turned into two hours and he still hasn’t showed up.

“Was this another plan to mock me?, I shouldn’t have believed him” I thought

I removed my shoes and slumped on my bed “this is not how I thought things would plan out”
