"Hey Natalie, that black dress is the perfect one for you!" said Rachael, pointing out at 'THE DRESS' I was finding for my b'dae party. And she was right. After I came out of the trial room she was awestruck at how I looked. Perfect black, falling over my knees and giving proper curves in the right places.
"I am so gonna buy this one!" I said walking back in the trial room to change in my clothes.
After paying for it I was so tired of searching for 'THE DRESS' for 3 hours now that I just wanted to go home, fall on my bed and sleep. That was the plan until my best-friend Dean called saying "Where have u been?! You have been a stranger for over a week now!"
He was right the past week I have not been able to meet him as I was too busy planning my own b'dae party. Hey! don’t judge me! Being the most popular girl in high school and the best Event Planner, it was necessary to pull off a kick ass party. Which by the way I could easily manage.
After I apologised to Dean n promised to meet him at our favourite diner for dinner, Rachael n I left the mall to go back to my place.
Me being brought up in a rich family was not acceptable to most people because I didn't have that kind of 'spoiled rich brat' attitude which usually rich people have. I was a simple yet stylish girl with always a smile on my face.
My house, sorry correction, mansion, was only a 5 min drive from the mall. A rich cream colour with flower beds in all balconies, as my mom loves flowers, and a huge garden in front of it with a fountain, was the kind of my house.
We walked through the front door greeting Samantha, a middle aged woman, brunette and hazel eyes who was our house keeper but I loved and respected her. She was there to take care of me whenever my mom wasn’t around.
We walked up the stairs to my room. A light shade of purple painted walls with a giant round bed at the centre , a huge glass door leading into the balcony and a passage. The passage leads to another room which by the way was actually my wardrobe. I know! A room! And that too a huge one. Okay before you judge, being rich and your daddy's favourite, meant loads of gifts. I was a lover of clothes, shoes, hats, accessories and what not! Whatever I asked for I got it in my hands that very moment. And so my dad bring gifts for me every weekend.
As we entered in our room Rach said to try on my whole outfit for the party so if we have forgotten anything we could arrange for it in the 4 days left for my b'dae. That not being a bad idea I gladly obeyed, in spite of being tired! I wore the black dress, black high heels with laces up to below my knees ,a black ring and it was complete. There was nothing more that we could add. We walked into my wardrobe and placed our shopping bags in one corner.
In all the three hours of finding my dress we had even managed to find one for Rach. It was a black strapless one with white stripes running horizontally and a red belt with a bow at its side. That was an adorable dress and it looked more fabulous on Rach as she was blonde with tanned skin. We just lay on my bed thinking about anything that was left for my party.
I was turning 16 and I insisted dad to buy me a car and he said he would think over that idea.
I looked at my phone to see what time it was and just jumped off the bed. It was 8:30 and I was supposed to meet Dean at 8! Oh crap he was going to kill me as I am always late.
I quickly said goodbye to Samantha, and Rach dropped me off to the diner Dean and I were supposed to meet at.
I glanced around for 2 minutes but couldn't find him anywhere. As I was about to leave, I saw him entering just now. He was wearing a blue v-neck t-shirt and black jeans.
He was coming towards me smiling as I gave him a 'u r dead' look.
"Don't be mad Nattu" he said with a smirk, "I know even you arrived here just 2 minutes before I did. I knew u would be late as always and so I came late."
I couldn't stop smiling as he knew me so well and so I just said "You know me so well, don't you."
He just gave me a smile.
As we sat down in a booth we ordered our regular cheese burger. We have the same taste in food and thats one of the reasons why we love each others company.
We talked on random topics and then there was silence for some time until he broke it asking "Hey Nattu, can I ask you something?"
"Sure! You don't have to ask for asking."
I said and send a wink in his direction.
"I sometimes wonder," he began, "that as u being the most wanted, famous, beautiful and smart girl at school, "he paused for a moment and then said ," how come you have never had a boyfriend??"
I paused for a moment. Even I had never thought of that question. I mean there were many guys that had asked me out but I had refused. I don't know why I refused but it just didn't feel right to go out with anyone.
I was deep in my own thoughts thinking of the reason that I couldn't find myself until D waved in front of my face snapping me back to reality.
"Hey Nattu if this question upsets you then don't answer. Its okay." He said with a smile.
"It's not that. I have never actually thought of this before. There were many guys who had asked me out and I had refused as it just didn't feel right to go out with any of them. They were great and I even liked them but never that way. " I said with a frown.
The next thing I know is D dropping me at my house and waving a goodbye.
I couldn't quite figure out why I am single till now. This may sound a bit weird but maybe I am waiting for the right guy.
I shrugged all the questions away, fell on my bed and quickly fell asleep as I was so damn tired.
