Even though he had said he doesn't want to leave me, but he had to go as something important came up that he can't overlook. But it is fine, as I don't think Pops would have let him stay.

I woke up to his message saying he is missing me, even after when entire night he was constantly messaging me. So if we look like this he did keep up his promise of being with me.

Pops is behaving completely normal, as twice during our practice I thought he was trying to kill me. If he had gone soft on me that is something which should have been alarming.

Taking out my dress from my closet I place it on my bed with other accessories to go with my dress. Today is Kris and Jake's second dating anniversary which they both are celebrating as if it is their wedding anniversary.

Last night when Kris invited Alec, the poor thing looked lost for a while.

His eyes widen when he glanced at me, thinking I am also one of those who celebrate, looking-at-each-other-for-the-first-time anniversary, holding hands anniversary, the first-date anniversary, kissing anniversary, etc.

But I shake my head at him which delivered him the message that he is safe.

I swear, I saw him releasing a sigh of relief.

Changing into my silver sequin bodycon dress, I adjust its shoulders as it is an off-shoulder dress so I want it to be perfect. Because my hair is behaving like a rebellious teenager, so I straighten them to tame them down.

The stilettos add a few more inches to my height making me look taller.

Finally, now I start doing my make-up in the last because if I am being dragged from my room for taking the time to get ready, then at least beside my makeup I am fully ready.

Thankfully, even though Kris is honking at my door for the past ten minutes she doesn't drag me outside. Spritzing perfume over my body because this is the thing which will keep me from puking my guts after inhaling different body odors as again Kris decided to go to a club and it is weekend night.

Kris flashes me a finger when I walk outside the house in a greeting, and I greet her back with raising two of my own.

"Here is your gift." Opening my clutch I give her the couple spa vouchers.

"Thank you..." She grins widely looking at the vouchers then places them in the glove compartment, "I love this."

"We should go on a double date?" She excitedly raises her eyebrows, "Let me book another for you guys, then we all can go together for a relaxing spa day."

Tuning her out, I unlock my mobile to resume playing the bubble shooter. Because I know she will keep making this plan until we reach the club, no matter what I say. So it is better to let her keep talking, while I shoot some bubbles.

*******************************************************

When we enter the club, Kris directly leads to the table which is already occupied with some people whom I don't know but Kris knows.

I have this deja vu moment when I feel someone watching me only lifting my gaze to find Alec.

Again just a normal pair of eyes staring at me, nothing special. However, the person to whom these eyes belong is special.

"Hi." I smile raising my eyebrows at him as he takes a seat beside me.

He nods his head in response, then he retrieves a small box from his pocket. I thought I can't be surprised anymore but I am proven wrong. As he takes my hand and casually slips a ring in my finger.
