I looked up at my brother and gave him a smile. He pulled me into another hug, and this time, I hugged him back tightly.

I sat in front of the mirror, my hands carefully applying makeup to my face. I grabbed my favorite eyeshadow palette and began blending the shades onto my eyelids. I then lined my eyes with a black eyeliner to create a polished look. A few coats of mascara completed my eye makeup.
Next, I turned to my hair. Using some bobby pins, I twisted my curls into a beautiful bun, leaving a few tendrils to frame my face. I let out a sigh of relief as I saw my hair perfectly coiffed, a soft smile appearing on my lips. I added a simple silver hair accessory to complete the look.
Satisfied with my facial appearance, I reached for my lip gloss and applied a light coat, giving my lips a subtle shine. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and smiled.
I then walked over to my closet and pulled out the burgundy dress I had picked out for the occasion.
The dress fitted like a glove and the color complemented my skin tone perfectly. I couldn't help but admire how the fabric hugged my curves in all the right places.
I then walked over to my dresser and grabbed a beautiful ruby set of jewelry that my brother had given me on my 21st birthday. The deep red stones matched perfectly with my dress, and I loved the sentimental value they held.
Before leaving the room, I spritzed some of my favorite perfume all over my body, making sure I smelled as good as I looked. I placed my phone in my clutch and took one last look in the mirror, feeling ready to conquer the night.
I reached the living where everyone was waiting for my arrival.
As I was about to take my first step, I heard Gabriele exclaim
"Oh my word!" I looked down to see Gabriele, gazing at me with admiration in his eyes. His gaze caught the attention of Leah and Amanda.
As I made my way down the stairs, Gabriele ran over to me and hugged me tightly. "You look beautiful Issa," he said, causing me to smile and peck his cheek.
"You look handsome too," I replied, causing him to blush. He then stretched out his arm and did a dramatic bow.
"May I, mi lady?" he asked with a mischievous grin. I couldn't help but chuckle as I slid my hand into his small one.
"Yes, my lord," I replied, playing along with his playful antics.
"You look stunning, Issa," Leah complimented with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration. She was dressed in a yellow mermaid-style dress. I returned the compliment, admiring her dress. Amanda, smiled at me with admiration and came to give me a hug.
As we pulled away, I noticed Pablo walking towards us with a look of fury on his face. But the moment his eyes fell on me, all the fury disappeared and was replaced with a look of lust and desire. He licked his lips as his gaze roamed over my body.
