Chapter 27: Not your property
I sat down on the sofa and opened the first box of the two in the soft overhead light coming from above the tv console.
I peeled the soft tissue that glimmered in the dim light and looked at the dark purple silk nestled in there.
With hesitant fingers I picked up the silken fabric, it unfurled in my hands as I let it drop down in front of me.
It was a sleeveless and a backless dress with a slit up to just below the waistline.
I would be half naked in this dress but still the thought of wearing it lit up a spark of anticipation deep inside my lower belly.
The other box had the same colored heels with red bottoms.
It took me twenty minutes to get ready as I didn't do much except to put Band-Aids on my nipples as the dress won't allow me to wear a bra and my nîpples poked through the fabric as if begging for attention and applied a natural shade of pink lip gloss.
I looked like a virgin trying to be a seductress.
I shook my head at my own thoughts as I stepped out of the bathroom, 1 faltered when my eyes met dark greys.
My daughter was sitting up in the bed and she was looking at me with wide eyes and a curious tilt of her head.
"Anna…"
"Mama, you look beautiful."
My heart squeezed with love at her words.
I walked to her, concentrating on not falling face first because of the heels I was wearing, it was safe to say I wasn't used to such type of footwear.
"What are you doing waking up? I thought you were asleep."
I said as I sat down on the bed beside her.
"I was."
She said with a silent Duh at the end.
I bit down on my bottom lip as my lips twitched, but she slipped closer to me and said, "I had a bad dream."
I cupped her cheek and pulled her on my lap, uncaring of the expensive silk.
Cradling her against my chest, I smoothed her dark hair back and asked, "Talk to me.
What did you dream about?"
"Someone was taking me away from you."
She replied, her voice small and a slight shaking entered in her voice.
My arms tightened around her.
And I said, "No one is going to take me away from you."
2 "Promise?"
I pressed a kiss on her head.
"Promise, my little angel."
She looked up at me and asked, "Where are you going?"
I didn't know the answer to that myself, but I replied, "Dinner."
Her brows lowered and her grey eyes turned inquisitive.
"But we had pizza."
I tapped her nose.
"Yes.
But I am meeting someone."
"A boy or a girl?"
For some reason I didn't lie to my daughter.
"A boy."
She made a thoughtful face and asked, "Is he your boyfriend?"
I shook my head.
