BETRAYAL

3

After what felt like years but was just few minutes she heard a knock on her door, she opened her eyes and looked at the door. She smirked. Finally!

She crossed her legs, straightened her back and held her head even higher expecting her mom to enter any second. She rolled her eyes after the door opened and realized it wasn't her mom. She turned her head back to face the window, still holding her head high.

"What do you want??" she asked without looking at him.

"How are you?" Calvin inquired.

"I would have been better if you weren't here!"

"Don't be like that!" Calvin said with a smile trying to get in an angle where he could be face to face with her which Winnie was making it impossible for him, "I promised I would be back today, I wanted to ask you for a date later. What do you say? I was going to ask you yesterday but you didn't seem to be in a good mood."

Winnie scoffed and turned to glare at him, "Do I look like I am in a good mood now? What language should I speak for you to understand? What don-" and then an idea came to her. Right! Why didn't I think of that? She suddenly changed the scoff she had on her face to a smile and her glaring eyes turned to the most loving eyes.

"Katherine will be there. You like Katherine, don't you? She is the one who insisted I bring you. Can't you even come for her?" he pleaded with her, trying to put on a puppy face.

"I would love to...but I'm in some kind of house arrest incase you haven't noticed," she sadly answered as she played with her fingers.

His eyes lit up and he had to put a hand on his lips to prevent himself from squealing like a little girl. 'My puppy eyes must have worked', he smiled.

"I can do something about the house arrest, it won't be a problem, I promise," he answered after he managed to compose himself.

"Really!! Will you do that for me?" she asked with the sweetest voice, pretending to be touched, battling her eyelashes on the process and smiling widely that she could feel the corner of her mouth starting to hurt.

"Of course, anything for you!!" Calvin answered with a smile, happiness clearly all over his face. "So, should I come pick you at 6 p.m? is that good for you?"

"Yap, 6 p.m is good," Winnie smiled.

"Umm if you don't mind, can you also wear the dress I brought you yesterday?" he asked knowing that it's a long shot and there was no way-

"Of couse I should wear that! You went through so much to get that for me, how can I not? I mean there's only ten of those dresses, and five of them are owned by the presidents' daughters. Even the top stars actresses couldn't get their hands on those dress," she answered with a smile. Being a fashion designer she knew her industry, just a glimpse on a dress as she was throwing  it yesterday and she knew exactly what it was but her pride couldn't let her even take a proper look at it.

Calvin was taken aback, he thought his heart would burst from beating too fast. He was too happy. Is this really happening? Is Winnie finally opening up to me? He thought as he stared at the girl who was widely smiling in front of him, that smile that he missed for 5 years he was finally seeing it again. At the moment he had no doubt He was the happiest man on earth!!

"Hey triplets!" Molly said jokingly as she waved at them.

"Hey Molly," they all said simultaneously.

Molly smiled at them before walking away to her table.
