Crystal's pov

When I entered inside the mansion I found Mrs Knight and Sarah looking at me and smiling.

"Hello" I said awkwardly.

"Hey" Sarah grinned at me.

"So, you were outside, with Dante?" Mrs Knight asked coming near me.

"No. Yes. I mean I went with Martin but Dante dropped me here" I said quickly.

"Ooh" Sarah said narrowing her eyes at me playfully to which I looked at her in confusion.

"What?" I asked not understanding her behavior.

"Nothing" She grinned at me.

I was about to ask her again but stopped as Mrs Knight interrupted.

"Crystal, we are going for shopping. Wanna come?" She asked.

I really wanted to go but I have to save my money for future. And knowing them I can surely say they will definitely go to some expensive place to shop.

"No Mrs Knight. I have to study" I said to which they made face.

"Come on Crystal. You study all the bloody time. Learn to live your life a little. Come with us" Sarah whined.

"But.."

"No buts. You're coming and that's final" Sarah said and caught my hand.

I looked towards mrs Knight for help but she just laughed looked at us.

Half heartily I decided to go with them but I mentally prepared myself to not to buy unnecessary stuffs.

⋇⋆✦⋆⋇

I was so right when I thought they will go to some expensive place. Right now we are in the most expensive mall of New York where I have been once in my life with my ex boss to carry her bags.

Looking around the interior, I was so impressed. But their prices were definitely not impressive. Ever a small earrings costs a lot here. I really wanted to leave but at the same time I wanted to explore, as last time I didn't got time to explore around.

"Come let's buy some dresses first" Sarah said and Mrs Knight and I nodded. We went towards the dress section.

Man. These dresses here are so beautiful.

Sarah and mrs Knight went to check dresses and I started wandering. I was looking around the dresses and sometimes touching them too.

Soft materials.

"Crystal" I heard Sarah's voice and looked towards her direction. She was calling me and Mrs Knight was their too.

When I went to her she grabbed my wrist and dragged me somewhere.

When we were in front of a shop, she stopped and gestured me to read the name.

Amelia dresses.

I read the name and looked at her confusingly. Looking at my confused face, her smile dropped and she gave me a glare and Mrs Knight chuckled.

"God girl. Can't you see. Amelia dresses. Amelia" She said pointing towards Mrs Knight.

I was still confused.

"God. This is mom's brand. Mom is the CEO of Amelia dresses" Sarah said slapping her forehead and I widened my eyes in realisation.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't knew that" I apologized looking at Mrs Knight and Sarah to which they laughed.

"No problem. Let's go inside and gift yourself some awesome dresses" She said and I looked at her confusingly.

They made their way inside the shop and I too followed them. Entering inside Mrs Knight made her way towards the shop owner who stood up looking at her, in form of respect and Sarah went to see the dresses.

I too started looking at the dresses. They all are really pretty and soft. I was just looking at them when Mrs Knight came to me.

"Seems like you didn't like the dresses" Mrs Knight asked with a small smile.

"No no. They are really pretty" I said genuinely.

"Then why are you not trying them. Go and try whatever you like" Mrs Knight said softly.

"Mrs Knight I don't need dresses" I said not wanting to sound rude.

These dresses are really pretty but they all are too expensive.

"Come on Crystal. Choose some dresses. You will look really pretty in these dresses" She said handling me few dresses.

"Mrs Knight I really don't.. " Before I could complete she interrupted me.

"Okay I get it, you didn't like them" She said taking the dresses from me.

"It's not like that Mrs Knight" I said softly.

"Than what's the problem" She whined, exactly like Sarah and I smiled at her.

"Okay fine, I'll choose" I said and she grinned at me.

Before she could have said something more, her phone starts ringing and I unintentionally saw the caller. Dante.

"Yes Dante" Mrs Knight picked the phone and moved away from me.

Sighing I decided to buy a dress for me. I once again started looking for the dresses but their prices were too high. I kept on searching them when my eyes went towards a pink knee length dress which had little slits in both the sides. I went to grab that dress. As soon as I touched that dress, I smiled. This dress is too soft, just how I like. And what made me happy was the price. This wasn't expensive. I mean this dress was expensive but comparing to other dresses, this was little less expensive. I looked around in search of a trial room when a staff showed me the way.

Entering inside the room, I quickly removed my clothes and wore that dress. As soon as I wore the dress and looked myself in mirror, I gasps. Is this me?

For a minute, I couldn't recognise myself but soon a small smile breaks in my face. I'm looking really beautiful and, different.

Sarah was right. I should live my life a little bit. Sometimes buying expensive clothes or stuff's might affect your budget but it will give you a new experience too. I smiled at myself.

I should take a picture.

With this though I went out to get my phone. When I came out of the trial room, I went to the other corner to get my phone but me being me, I tripped. But before I could have fall, someone grabbed my wrist, saving me.

I looked towards the person who saved me and my eyes widened in shock. Dante.

Dante was looking equally shocked. He kept on looking at me up and down. I felt shy from his intense gaze but does that affects him? Noo.

He kept looking at me without blinking for once. Suddenly he pulled me to himself and tucked my hair locks behind my ears.

Deja vu?

We both kept looking at each other without blinking for once. He was looking at me intentionally.

"D-dante" I whispered.

"Hmm" He hummed still looking at me.

"L-leave me" I said looking around myself. And thanks to my luck no one was their.

"Hmm" He hummed still not leaving me.

"D-dante pl-please" I whispered to which he pulled me more close to him.

"You're looking beautiful, Crystal" He whispered causing me to look at him in shock. Once again I felt butterflies dancing in my tummy.

He once again called me beautiful. Oh my God.

"Thank you" I said feeling shy.

"Hmm" He hummed and caressed my arm a little. Before he could have done something more, I heard someone's cough, or may I say fake cough.

We both pulled away and looked beside to see Sarah smirking at us.

"Great timing" I heard Dante's whispering slowly and my eyes widened in shock.
