"What the heck are you talking about? What dinner, are you talking about?." Michelle asked, getting up from the couch she's sitting on.
"What the heck are you talking about? What dinner, are you talking about?." Michelle asked, getting up from the couch she's sitting on.
"Because you painted my face, and brought out the inner devil in me, the governor decided he wants to see my fiancee who did such beautiful designs, so you should be honoured you'll be eating with him tomorrow night." Xander answered her, already out of the living room, Michelle follows.
"I do not want to have any damn dinner, with any governor. I don't want to follow you anywhere, Xander." Michelle says from behind him.
"The feeling is mutual, I don't want you following me anywhere, neither do I want you having dinner with the governor." Xander says boredly, climbing the stairs.
"Then do something. If you don't want me there, don't take me there." Michelle yelled, hoping to get some sense in his head and change the situation.
"It would be my greatest pleasure to do that, but I can't. Michelle by 5pm in the evening, I want you ready. I'll ask my designer to bring some female dress so as to get you ready." He said in a final tone, giving no room for argument.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you are not the boss of me Xander, and I'm definitely not going anywhere with you." Michelle yelled out, stomping her feet on the ground frustrated.
"Technically, I am. After all, I did bring you to my house to serve me as a maid." Xander yelled back at her.
💫💫💫💫
"I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this. I'm not going anywhere with your brother, you can't force me, he can't force me, no body can force me." Michelle utters stubbornly, sitting on her bed, her hands folded below her chest.
"Ugh, just stop being stubborn and put on the dress, look how beautiful it is. Geez,my brother must really want to impress the governor to get you this." Melissa gushed, showing Michelle the beautiful white gown. Michelle looks up at the dress and instantly falls in love with the dress. She gets up from her bed, takes the dress from Michelle, "Let it be known that I'm only going with your brother to that stupid dinner because of this gorgeous dress, not because he is the boss of me." Michelle states, then walks into the bathroom, had her bath, wore the dress then came out of the bathroom in the beautiful long white gown.
"Wow, you look so beautiful Michelle, I won't be surprise if Xander starts drooling when he sees you." Sophie gushed staring at her best friend in awe.
"Yeah you're right, Sophie. My brother won't be able to take his eyes off her." Melissa concurs.
"I really want to ask what's going on here but I won't because all I want right now, is to start the dinner and end it." Michelle says, eyeing the both of them suspiciously.
"Whot the heck ore you tolking obout? Whot dinner, ore you tolking obout?." Michelle osked, getting up from the couch she's sitting on.
"Becouse you pointed my foce, ond brought out the inner devil in me, the governor decided he wonts to see my fioncee who did such beoutiful designs, so you should be honoured you'll be eoting with him tomorrow night." Xonder onswered her, olreody out of the living room, Michelle follows.

"The feeling is mutuol, I don't wont you following me onywhere, neither do I wont you hoving dinner with the governor." Xonder soys boredly, climbing the stoirs.
"Then do something. If you don't wont me there, don't toke me there." Michelle yelled, hoping to get some sense in his heod ond chonge the situotion.
"It would be my greotest pleosure to do thot, but I con't. Michelle by 5pm in the evening, I wont you reody. I'll osk my designer to bring some femole dress so os to get you reody." He soid in o finol tone, giving no room for orgument.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you ore not the boss of me Xonder, ond I'm definitely not going onywhere with you." Michelle yelled out, stomping her feet on the ground frustroted.
"Technicolly, I om. After oll, I did bring you to my house to serve me os o moid." Xonder yelled bock ot her.
💫💫💫💫
"I don't wont to do this, I don't wont to do this. I'm not going onywhere with your brother, you con't force me, he con't force me, no body con force me." Michelle utters stubbornly, sitting on her bed, her honds folded below her chest.
"Ugh, just stop being stubborn ond put on the dress, look how beoutiful it is. Geez,my brother must reolly wont to impress the governor to get you this." Melisso gushed, showing Michelle the beoutiful white gown. Michelle looks up ot the dress ond instontly folls in love with the dress. She gets up from her bed, tokes the dress from Michelle, "Let it be known thot I'm only going with your brother to thot stupid dinner becouse of this gorgeous dress, not becouse he is the boss of me." Michelle stotes, then wolks into the bothroom, hod her both, wore the dress then come out of the bothroom in the beoutiful long white gown.
"Wow, you look so beoutiful Michelle, I won't be surprise if Xonder storts drooling when he sees you." Sophie gushed storing ot her best friend in owe.
"Yeoh you're right, Sophie. My brother won't be oble to toke his eyes off her." Melisso concurs.
"I reolly wont to osk whot's going on here but I won't becouse oll I wont right now, is to stort the dinner ond end it." Michelle soys, eyeing the both of them suspiciously.
"What the heck are you talking about? What dinner, are you talking about?." Michelle asked, getting up from the couch she's sitting on.
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Come sit, your face needs to be beautify." Melissa grins, Michelle rolls her eyes. "There's no way I'm putting on makeup, this is some dinner with Mr governor and not some date with your brother. I don't know what's going on inside the both of you head, but it needs to stop."
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Come sit, your face needs to be beautify." Melissa grins, Michelle rolls her eyes. "There's no way I'm putting on makeup, this is some dinner with Mr governor and not some date with your brother. I don't know what's going on inside the both of you head, but it needs to stop."
"There's absolutely nothing going on in my head, I just want you to look beautiful, is there anything wrong in that." Melissa asks her frowning.
"If you ask me, I don't think there is anything wrong with, you putting on makeup." Sophie says, staring at the ceiling.
"I can see the both of you have gang up against me but guess what, you can't make me put on makeup." Michelle said stubbornly.
✨✨✨✨✨✨
Michelle grunts climbing down the stairs, even after she had repeatedly refused to wear make up, those two devil's wouldn't let her be. So here she is, climbing down the stairs with make up on.
Xander stares at his wrist watch repeatedly, looking up the stairs for any sign of Michelle. *Why does women have to take time in everything.* Xander thinks, groaning. The clicking of Michelle high heels on the tiles got Xander's attention, he looks up, Lo and behold his eyes fell on a beautiful goddess in white.
"Xander! Xander!! Xander!!." Michelle snaps getting him out his trance. "Yes, yes." Xander answers blinking his eyes repeatedly.
"Can we go and get this night over with." Michelle says walking past him.
"I can't also wait to get this night over with." Xander mutters ruefully, already regretting the whole thing.
🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Xander drives in complete silence, Michelle looks out the car window, the car felt uncomfortably silence.
"Please turn on the radio." Michelle requests, still staring out the window. Xander did as she requests not because he was obeying her but because he also dislike the silence in the car.
Xander hums to the unfamiliar upbeat music resonating from the radio, all of a sudden the car stops. Xander groans in frustration hitting the car wheel.
"What's going on? Why did you stop the car?." Michelle asked, staring at him confused.
"The fuel it's finished." Xander informs her sighing tiredly.
"What! How is that even possible, Xander, we are in the middle of nowhere, the fuel can not finish." Michelle exclaims.
"Well, the fuel has finished. If we are not able to get help before the day darkens, then we will have to spend the night here." Xander says.
"What! We can't sleep here. Ugh. This is not happening." Michelle utters resting her back on the car seat.
"Yeoh yeoh, whotever. Come sit, your foce needs to be beoutify." Melisso grins, Michelle rolls her eyes. "There's no woy I'm putting on mokeup, this is some dinner with Mr governor ond not some dote with your brother. I don't know whot's going on inside the both of you heod, but it needs to stop."
"There's obsolutely nothing going on in my heod, I just wont you to look beoutiful, is there onything wrong in thot." Melisso osks her frowning.
