Chapter 53 Truth Revealed

• Daisy's POV
• I paced nervously in my room and paused when I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror, I look tense but beautiful in the long princess ball gown that Aires had sent for me, today is the night of our prom and he will make sure that I attend as his date, I sighed, my gaze went to my table clock, it's nine O'clock already, the party was supposed to start seven O'Clock, he's two hours late, he has never been late to an appointment before, what's keeping him? Perhaps he change his mind about taking a geek as his date, I waited some more, still, no sign of him, I dialed his number, it rang but he didn't bother to pick up, it was almost midnight, I guess he changed his mind then, disappointed, I undressed and not bothering to remove my makeup, I sank on my bed and drifted off to sleep.
• I felt his presence as soon as he came in, slowly, my eyes drifted open, he was a silhouette against the bright light of my room, I was under my duvet but I was still conscious that I am wearing only my underwear, "I waited for you", I said simply but he didn't respond, I felt the bed dip by my side as he sat down and gently caress my hair, sometimes, he can be gentle and sometimes, he can be as cruel, I'm not quite used to this gentle side of him.
