CHASE"S POVAmy was staring at me like I"ve grown some extra head. I guess that"s because she"s never seen me this excited or lively.
"What change of plan?" She asked. Smirking I dropped to the floor and sat down in an apple cross style.
"I went to see my Dad today, it wasn"t that great. He wants your appearance for the public. You may have become Mrs Chase Parker but you have to publicly show up too" she just continued blinking. I stopped to catch some air.
"We"re going on a ball very soon, and I need to prepare you. My father doesn"t know about your background and he may not like it. So, we have to change you and prepare you for it. Plus, you have to start acting rich, and look rich" I explained. I was expecting a wow or something but she started laughing all of a sudden. I didn"t understand why?.
"Did I say anything funny?" I asked igniting my brows together. She calmed down and smiled.
"This is all just weird. I"ve never tried to look presentable to the world before but I guess my life did change now" she said, playing with her hands. I smiled. "Don"t be nervous" I try to calm her. My stomach growls and she look up to meet my eyes, she chuckled "you"re hungry" embarra.s.sed I stood up and turn to leave for my room. Without answering her question.
Shortly after I got in, I had my bath and decided to sleep, there was no way I was gonna set the kitchen on fire again.
After maybe an hour or so...
I heard a knock
"Come in" I called out. And the door was opened and I was surprised to see Amaya coming in with food. I didn"t know she"d even cook for me again, not after my harsh att.i.tude towards her. She placed it on the bed and turning to leave I stopped her, by saying "thank you" and she just smiled and left.
I went close and opening the plate, I was expecting to see noodles but instead it was pasta. Very yummy looking pasta. My stomach growls again, and I didn"t waste more time, I began eating. And wow it tasted really amazing, the best I"ve taken so far.
After eating I decided to clear the plates to the kitchen, the parlour was empty so I a.s.sume she was asleep already.
Going back inside I decided to sleep, tomorrow is gonna be a new day....

Amaya"s POV
I woke up to the sweet aroma of something yummy, I couldn"t help but become hungry immediately.
I stood up and went outside with my pajamas still on, rubbing my eyes. I saw the dinning piled with foods, are we having visitors? Then I saw Jason helping Chase with the settings. No maid around.
"Hey sis you"re awake" Jason said, flashing his teeth everywhere. I smiled and we hugged. "What"s with all these?" I asked them. Chase smiled and clearing his throat.
"Well, you"ve been doing all the cooking, so I know I can"t cook but I had some help from the maids. But they"re gone now, so I wanted you to eat immediately you"re awake cuz we"ve got work to do" and placed his hands on his waist, smiling goofily and he looked so handsome when he smiled, I couldn"t help but wonder how someone can be this handsome.
"Oh uhm thank you" I said going close to the table and sitting down. We started eating, quietly and then Chase"s phone started to ring, picking it up, he excused himself and went out to his room.
About 10minutes or so he returned and sat down. "We"re leaving immediately you finish eating" he said and I just nodded.
•••••••••
I was contemplating on what to wear, I didn"t know where we were going or how I should look. Grunting, I walked from my room to Chase"s room, I nocked and he answered immediately, so I opened the door and entered, he was busy with his hair, clearing my throat.
"I don"t know what to wear" I said playing with my hands but maintaining eye contact with him.
" just wear anything that"ll make you feel comfortable" he replied. Well that isn"t really specific tho. "Okay" I turned and left.
I decided to wear a blue trouser, loose from the waist downward and tight where it stopped just above my ankle. I wore a white top, and a white canvas. I applied some nude lipstick and made my hair on a high ponytail. I was done, so I picked my purse and phone and got out to meet Chase. He was making a call when I got out, I didn"t want to interrupt him, so I just waited till he was done. Seconds later he hung up, unaware that I was behind him, he turned and surprised he opened his eyes widely " wow! You look pretty" blushing I hide my face "thank you".
Jason was busy with his video game. I called out and told him I was leaving.
Philip was out already waiting for us, I smiled at him and we greeted.
♣♣♣♣♣♣
We were at a boutique, not just any boutique a very big and expensive looking boutique.
Just seeing the price of one stuff almost made me choke. How can this be so expensive?
" pick anything you want" Chase said, but I was too scared to even pick something. They were all too expensive and I don"t want him to think its too much. Walking around there are so many beautiful dresses, but I was looking for something that wasn"t so expensive and that was really hard.
My eyes caught a black dress. It was a gown, full length, by the side of one leg it was opened straight down, revealing the leg, and the other was covered. The neck V shaped, not too wide and not too revealing, the hand stopped at the shoulder . The back and the front were both V shaped, it looked so perfect, I couldn"t stop staring
"You"re taking that" a voice startled me, turning, it was Chase. He was now looking at the dress too, I went closer to see the price and I almost screamed
"No way, its too expensive" I said shaking my head in exasperation. He just chuckled and making a finger gesture he called one of the seller that was close to us.
"I want that" he said to the Lady, smiling she started to remove it from its hanger.
"Ch" I was saying but he cut me off
"Pick anything or I"ll order everything here and you"ll have to wear them" he threatens with a serious face. "Okay okay" I said giving up. And finally I started to pick some dresses, making sure I didn"t look at the price tag.
•••••••••
After some time, I was done selecting, I picked two dresses, one trouser, two tops, one shoe. I was hoping there weren"t too much tho.
Going to where Chase was sitting, busy with his phone. I called out and he looked up to me and asked if i was done? "Yes"
"Okay" he paid and we left. I wanted to put them in the trunk but Chase rushed over and collected the bags, saying he wanted to help me put them. I was surprised, and wondered why he"s being sweet.
I didn"t protest so I allowed him.
I noticed Philip wasn"t driving towards our house, confused I asked "where are we going?" Chase just smiled relaxing on the car seat, he turned his head to face me, he smiled and grabbed my shoulder making me fall back on the chair, "relax Amy and enjoy the ride". I was more than confused now, adjusting my self to sit more comfortably I nodded and just concentrated on the journey.
About 20minutes later we were at a big building, reading the name tag it was a beauty spa building. I didn"t come out of the car, cuz I was still busy looking at how beautiful the building was. All of a sudden Chase was at my front, opening the door for me. He smiled and gestured his hand for me to take, I did and I stepped out. On our way in, I heard some flashes looking back, I saw three men with cameras, taking pictures of us. Chase embraced me and quickly guided me in.
" what was that?" I asked.
"Paparazzi, and now they know we"re here, they"ll make calls and more will pile up out there very soon" he said. Without any nervousness. I guess he"s used to having them around.
I just made an O shape with my mouth and that made him chuckled. Which made him looked cute.
"Welcome Mr and Mrs Chase, we got your call and reservations have been made. This way please" a beautiful lady said. Gesturing for us to follow her. She looked like she was in her late 30s.
Following her in I was greeted by the bitter smell of coffee, I love coffee so much.
"Here" the lady gestured and we sat on a chair. Shortly another Lady came out with two cup of coffee, looking fresh and tasty. Smiling at her, I thanked her and she smiled in return.
"I"m sorry I called late Elizabeth, you know this is important" Chase said to the lady, which name is Elizabeth.
"No problem dear, what are friends for?" She said smiling and then taking a seat, opposite where we were seated. "So what do you want to do Mrs Chase?" I was confused. Without answering, I looked to Chase.
"Oh I"m sorry I wanted this to be a surprise for her" said Chase, who then turned to me "I wanted you to get a new look and stuffs. What do you think? He explained. Well that doesn"t sound bad, I smiled and then turned to the lady " Uhm maybe a little touch to my hair and uhm...." I trailed off not sure what I should do again. Elizabeth smiled, standing up "don"t worry we"ll figure it out. So, come on, let"s get started" I looked over to Chase and he nodded. "I"ll be here if you need anything, you"re in safe hands" he winked and d.a.m.n! That made him so hot. Blushing I just nodded and followed Elizabeth.

Chase"s POV
It"s been over an hour since Amy and Elizabeth got in for the make over, I was making some calls now because just as I predicted the paparazzi were outside and I don"t want Amy to feel uncomfortable about it, so I need some people to come over and clear things up.
Dropping my phone inside my pocket, I saw Elizabeth coming out and then Amy came out. I couldn"t breathe anymore, her hair was curled at the end, and it fell perfectly on those beautiful shoulders, she added a little touch of blonde at the front of her brown hair, she looked so beautiful.
"Wow-" I trailed off, looking for the right words to say "you look really beautiful" I walked up to her, touching her hair and staring Into her eyes. I don"t know what these feelings are, I"ve been feeling this way since I met her and I"m not sure what it is. Maybe its because she just got a new look. Clearing my throat I turned to Elizabeth
"Thanks Elizabeth, I"m very grateful." We hugged and I lead the way for Amy. She hugged Elizabeth and we began to leave, at the door Amy stopped me by placing a hand on my shoulder, I turned and she looked nervous. "What about the paparazzi?" Smiling, I intertwined our hands and smiled at her "its been taken care of" and we left the spa.
••••••••••
Once we got home, I asked Amy not to worry about the things in the trunk, so she was going inside when I called the maids out to help take them in. Actually, I bought a lot of dresses for her, without her knowing. She"s just different, she doesn"t want to spend my money, any other girl in that position would grab it and make sure they don"t loose the opportunity to spend a millionaire"s money. But, Amy is just different.
When she saw the bags the maids were taking in, she stopped and asked me what was going on, scratching the back of my head. "Well, they"re my gifts for you, I mean since we got married I didn"t get you anything, I know it may not be a real marriage, but please don"t argue and just accept it." I think I won this time again, cuz she just smiled and nodded. "Thank you Chase" turning to leave I stopped her,"Uhm Amy?" She stopped and turned "yes?"
"We"re going out on a date tomorrow"
