Adeline Carter's POV

"His idea. Interesting". I tell myself in a small whisper.

I decide to stop talking to myself, before someone hears me and boils it down to lunacy.

My stuff have finally arrived and I am getting ready to go to that 'family dinner'.

For the duration of the coffee meeting, Matéo explained to me that we have to act 'in love' to make the engagement seem more believable to the public.

He also explained that he would be joining me at college and that there, we would be 'boyfriend and girlfriend'.

To make it seem less suspicious.

I wonder who else will be at this event.

Probably just a few people...

I step out of the shower and walk into my room, towel wrapped around me.

Suddenly, my door swings open. I jump back in surprise and see a young girl, maybe my age or younger.

^^ Maria Santiago.

The hell?!

She is tall and quite skinny. Her long wavy black hair is wild and cascades down her face.

Her familiar brown eyes widen and her bronzed skin is flushed pink.

She squeals.

"Grace! Grace! Come quickly! She's here!" The girl yells running down the corridor.

What the fuck is going on?!

I stand completely frozen and unsure of what to do.

Is this normal over here or?

A few minutes later, the girl comes back with someone.

Another girl, who looks surprised to see me.

^^ Grace Santiago.

She looks just like the younger girls but taller and curvier.

Her hair is also slick and straight.

"Dios mio! (Oh my God!)" She yells.

"You're here?! She's here! Why did nobody tell me that she was here!?" She yells dramatically.

I blink at both of them. They step into my room and close the door.

I look around for a potential weapon and spot a lampshade.

I start to inch closer to it and I freeze upon hearing the first girl's voice.

"You must be the bride to be!" Gracie says.

I nod, wondering who they are and why they're here.

The younger girl squeals again.

"Let us introduce ourselves" she says.

"My name is Maria" she says with a grin.

I nod.

"Nice to meet you?" I ask more than say.

The older one speaks next. "My name is Grace" she says.

I nod and smile shyly at them both.

"My name is Adeline" I tell them.

"May I ask who you both are?" I ask.

They're eyes widen. "Matéo never told you?" Grace asks.

I shake my head, no.

"Told me what?" I ask.

"We're his sisters!" They both say.

My eyes widen.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that..."

I'm cut off by Grace cutting in.

"The only thing you need to worry about is that we've got a dinner to go to, si?!" She asks excitedly.

I nod and grin at them.

So much energy.

She claps her hands.

"Maria, look through her clothes!" She says pointing at Maria, who skips to my closet and opens it walking inside.

Grace turns to me.

"Drop the towel! Whatever I've got, you've got!" She tells me.

I stiffen, looking for an escape.

She must be crazy!

Get naked?

Here and now?!

Grace looks at me expectantly and I realise she's dead serious.

I chuckle slightly nervous and do I do as she says.

Maria comes back, holding one of my dresses.

^^ Ade's dress.

"You'll look gorgeous!" She says.

I smile embarrassedly.

I use the Cocoa butter all over my body and then wear my underwear and strapless bra.

Grace sits my down after rummaging through my bag and starts on my makeup.

After a good ten minutes, she is done. I open my eyes and gasp in shock.

I look... Different.

I like it.

I turn to her happily.

"Thank you!" I say.

She smiles back.

"No problem, now go and wear your dress!" She says.

I do as she says and Maria does the zip.

I turn around and they gasp and coo.

"Aw, Adeline, you look amazing. I shrug.

"You're my friends, call me Ade" I tell them.

They've seen me naked.

The line has already been crossed.

They nod.

I sit down to neaten my hair and they both go to get ready.

Maria chatters excitedly about her brother, whilst doing so.

She tells me a lot about him and I giggle a couple of times along the way.

Apparently, one time, he ran completely butt naked through the gardens, during one of his mother's summer parties and has never spoken of the day since.

I'll piss him off him about it later.

This is golden.

I wear a pair of gold heels and together with Maria, we walk to Grace's room, who is putting the finishing touches of her makeup.

She looks stunning!

Her black dress flows down to her ankles and a slit in the side exposes one of her long legs.


Maria walks into Grace's closet and pulls out a dress.

It is similar to Grace's but in rose gold and strapless.

She wears it and it makes her figure look elegant.

They both stare at me.

"What?" I ask.

Grace smirks.

"Wait till my brother gets a look at you!" She says.

Maria chuckles.

"He won't be able to control his eyes... Or his hands!" She teases.

I turn away embarrassedly.

If my skin were any lighter, I'm sure that I would be blushing like crazy, so I thank God that it isn't.

"Let's go" I say meekly, changing the subject.

They grin and link arms with me as we walk out of the room and towards the stairs.
