#WritcoStoryPrompt42
She chose her cleanest piece of clothing to wear. It was a festival afterall and she wanted to celebrate with everyone else. When she stepped into the street a speeding car drove by splashing dirty water on her.
A tear fell down her cheek. The poor had no right to celebrate. Little did she know that her life was about to change drastically from that incident. As she turned to return home, she heard the sound of vehicle coming towards her looking aside she saw it was the same car that splashed her with dirty water. She stood there admiring the most beautiful car she's ever seen her mind reeling with thoughts of how expensive it must be. Still in her thoughts she didn't see the man getting out of the car and heading towards her until he was right in front of her.
"Miss am very sorry for splashing you with dirty water, honestly I didn't expect anyone to be on the road at this time, I was sure everyone was at the festival already. Please allow me to take you home so that you can change." The lady shook her head partly to refuse the offer and the other part to unfaze her mind as the man infront of her was as handsome as they come. Everything about him was almost perfect, from his looks to his height, how he dressed and the tone of his voice! it was all enchanting.
"No thank you that won't be necessary," she said then in a low murmur continued that after all she had nothing better to wear as it is. She didn't think he heard but he did and for the first time he really looked at the girl infront of him. she couldn't be older than 20yrs and her body in those wet clothes was beautifully shaped. An hour glass body full in all the right places and curves too. Her face despite showing sadness was pretty and her lips so enchanting plump and rosy the kind you'd kiss till you drop. She might have read his mind because she hurredly turned and ran away back into the confines of the alley. Quickly he went to his car and followed her, luckily he knew this part of town well despite being from the other side. He had grown up here after all even though now it felt like many years ago. The alley path was too narrow but the tarmac road went round the block to the other entrance of the alley and since he had a car it was faster to catch up. As he alighted on the other side, he took a package he had in the car and quickly got out locking the car behind him. Just as he entered the alley he saw the girl entering one of the settlements from the other side, he called out to her asking her to wait for him. Startled the girl stopped out of curiosity as to why this rich man was wasting his time with a poor girl like her. But still she waited as something about him made her feel she could trust him.
"Here take this, it was something I was working on a prototype but the stitching didn't come out as I wanted. I was going to despose it but I'm glad I didn't." While saying this he handed her the package in his hands. The girl hesitated but since she didn't want to be rude she politely took thr package, said thank you and continued to enter into the tenament houses. Once inside she quickly removed the dirty clothes, went to the bathroom and thanked God that the water came back finally so she took a quick shower and wrapped the worn out towel she had used to dry herself around her body.
She went back to her tiny living room where she had left the package and decided to check it out. To her amazement it was a Farasha (a flowy butterfly like dress of Arabian origin.)it was made in Chiffon with high quality materials, drawn by bead and crystals décor. The white and gold theme made it so beautiful she was both shocked and excited at the same time, she didn't hesitate, quickly wore the dress, and put on the headscarf that came with it. She felt incredible and scared at the same time but excited that she can finally attend the festival. She rushed out after locking her house and headed to the festival taking the alley route that the man had stopped her from. Just as she appproached the end of the alley connecting her to the tarmac road she got surprised again as the same man was waiting right infront of her leaning on his expensive car scrolling his smart phone. She tried to pass him without raising his attention but her attempt failed as the man boldly addressed her that he was waiting for her. This shocked her to the point of stopping just a few meters from him almost at the edge of the car. She looked at him curiously a thousand thoughts passing her mind as to why he was waiting for her. As if reading her thoughts he explained that he was curious to se if the dress fit her and how it would look and also since it was getting late in the evening he felt obligated to wait for her and ensure she reached the festival safely. While saying this he opened the passenger door for her which he was previously leaning on and waited for her to enter. The girl stood her ground flabbergasted at his words. Seeing her...
