Chero held up a dress to herself and then another. She frowned. Dino told her that he was attending a dinner party the Vongola famiglia was throwing. He asked her if she would be his escort. Chero of course accepted and was very excited, but was at a complete loss at how to dress.
Chero tossed the dresses on her bed and pulled out her laptop. She logged onto skype to see if Hime was online. Maybe she could help choose a dress.
Chero stared at her computer.
“What the…? Why is no one on?! Like NO one is on…at all…” Chero sighed, closing her laptop.
Chero looked at the two dresses once more.
“Choose the purple one, it suits you…”
Chero turned to see a maid carrying a pile of towels into the room.
Chero smiled at her.
“Thank you…Now my hair…”
“I can do it for you…” The maid said.
“Oh? Thank you!” Chero said.
Dino pulled at his tie and cleared his throat. He was a little nervous about this party. He did not want to expose Chero to the mafia world like this just yet, but if it had to be now…he was glad that it was the Vongolas and not a more hostile group.
He looked at his pocket watch and then looked up. Chero stood at the top of the stairs, her hair in a twist, with a few curls hanging down. She wore a very light amount of make-up and some sparkly earrings. The dress was a deep royal purple that had a halter top and flowed around her body in a Grecian style. She held a small black clutch in her hand. She smiled at Dino. He was blown away.
“You look amazing, bella…” Dino said, offering his arm.
Chero blushed and took his arm.
Chero fell asleep on the way over. Her head rested on Dino’s shoulder. Dino chuckled softly. He expected her to be jetlagged. He looked at her with love in his eyes. He was so happy she was here where he could share his world with her.
The car rolled to a stop and Romario opened the door for Dino and Chero. A smile broke on his face when he saw the boss’s head resting on top of Chero’s head, sound asleep.
