Together Forever

I stare down at the bright red lace gown in my hands in dejection and sigh heavily. The mood I am in right now, it would be better for me to go to a funeral but here I am being dressed for a party where we would meet our new clients. If the redness of the dress could give me some enthusiasm, I think to myself.

Finally fighting with my inner discouragement, I stand up and slowly slip into the gown that reaches my feet. The dress is adorned with designer flowery lace with long lace sleeves and a v neck that ends a few inches before my cleavage.

The upper back of the gown is opened and the other half is attached to a hook. Now the problem is I can't clasp the hook. After trying five minutes continuously, I give up. Why don't we have a pair of eyes and hands in the back?

"Fucking hook! What's wrong with your ass?" I growl angrily and slump down on the chair in front of the full-length mirror.

Right then the door opens and Ethan enters inside. My eyes widen and I jump off the chair clutching the back of my dress and hurriedly turn around.

"Ethan? Don't you know you should knock before entering a room?" I scold angrily.

He realizes as he stands there still, "I am sorry. I forgot you were here." He says and leaves the closet, closing the door.

Just when I think he's gone, the door barges open again causing me to jump out of horror.

"Ethan?" I shout in annoyance as he scratches the back of his neck embarrassingly.

"Sorry. Actually, I just came to ask, are you having a problem with your dress?" He says pointing to my hand that's holding the back of my dress together.

"Y...yeah but you have nothing to do with it." I stutter nervously.

"What's wrong?" He asks me in confusion.

"I can't put the hook on."

"I can help you. Let me see." He says coming towards me and I step backward.

"Hey, no! You can't help me. Get out!" I say in a panicking voice trying to stop him. "It's a girly problem."

"But here's no girl right now. Just me. Then?" He shrugs, standing before me.

"But..." I get cut off as he holds both my shoulders and turns me around before I can understand anything.

Suddenly the temperature in the room drops by a few degrees celsius as soon as his eyes fall on my full bareback from my neck to my waist.

Someone, please kill me now.

and gets out without waiting for me. I sigh and get out as well. The huge building in front of me is dazzling with golden light and falling on the street. Loud buzzes of music can be heard from outside and I see a line of expensive cars in the parking lot. I get inside and my eyes fall on the exquisite entryway that has a long line of chandeliers on the ceiling and tree tubs
