In front of the entrance to the large house, the boys were waiting.
Asher, straight as a king, absently adjusted his black gloves.
Eiden and Bryan continued their eternal stare war, while Gale whistled quietly.
As for Ikan…
He tried to look calm.
But his fingers were trembling slightly.
Suddenly...
The door opened.
Silence fell.
The girls appeared.
And the world seemed to stop.
---
Miria went first.
She wore a long midnight blue dress, slit slightly on the side, embroidered with silver stars. Her hair was pulled up into a soft bun, letting a few wavy strands fall around her face. Her eyes shone like two sapphires in the light.
Asher literally stopped breathing.
—…
—Miria...
She smiled shyly.
— Do you… do you like it?
- To like ? he whispered.
—You are… dangerously beautiful.
Marlie followed, in a champagne-colored dress, fluid and elegant, which perfectly fitted her figure. Her curly blue hair fell freely over her shoulders, and her hazel eyes seemed softer than ever.
Kira wore a short, daring silver dress that showed off her long legs. Her wavy silver hair, and her eyes sparkled with mischief.
Eiden looked her up and down.
—Are you planning to start a war tonight?
- Jealous ? she replied, smiling.
— Terribly.
---
Alix arrived in an emerald green dress, elegant and refined, highlighting her blonde hair styled in a high ponytail.
Bryan swallowed.
- You... you are splendid.
"You too," she replied softly.
He smiled, a little too proud.
---
Diana, majestic, wore a black dress with purple highlights, backless, highlighting her slender figure. Her black hair was pulled up, revealing the nape of her neck.
Gale hissed.
— I officially confirm that I am the luckiest man of the evening.
— Only this evening? she replied with a mysterious smile.
---
And finally…
Alixia appeared.
In a pale pink dress, light, almost magical. Her hair was down, slightly wavy, and her large, bright eyes seemed even brighter.
Ikan looked at her.
A long time.
Very long time.
—…
—Ikan? she whispered.
—…
— I think I just understood why poets write.
She blushed violently.
---
Compliments flowed, smiles were exchanged, then everyone got into the cars.
---
The cars
Asher's car was a huge black sedan, with tinted windows and dark leather interior, the perfect symbol of his authority.
Asher was driving.
At the front, Miria at his side.
In the back: Alixia and Ikan.
---
Gale's car was silver, elegant.
Agitation while driving
Diana at the front,
Marlie in the back, a little nervous.
---
Eiden's car, sporty and dark.
Eiden at the wheel,
Bryan up front, already bickering.
Kira and Alix in the back.
— You take up too much space.
—It's you who's too small.
—Repeat a little?
— Gladly.
— BOYS, Kira shouted,
— if you break the car I will strangle you.
Immediate silence.
