When the Ice Queen melts

Chapter 10

Emeri

Saturday is bitter and sweet for me. There is no school today and I have no chance to see Avery. Agh. I can't fight off the smile on my face by the thoughts of her. She is like a drug in me. So, I picked up my phone and called a flower shop to order a red roses for Avery. I hope she would like it.

Of course she won't suspect that it was from me, I'm girl! And not just an ordinary girl but the Ice Queen.

All my life. I thought I was straight. Until Avery came and confused the hell out of me. This is feeling is new to me and it honestly scares me. I'm afraid that this would be her way to hurt me.

"I'm glad you are home." Mother said when I came home. She is sitting in the living room with newspaper in her hands.

"Yeah." I hugged Mom.

"How was school?"

I sat next to her. "It was good."

Mother put the newspaper down and focused on my face. I have this strange feeling that she will say something I don't like. "We are going to party tonight Emeri. So prepare yourself, be beautiful." I just sighed in frustration. "And i want you to meet someone."

That's it! Trust me! This isn't the first time she tried to pair me with unknown guy. And it really pissed me off but I knew that I can't do anything about it.

"I can't—"

"Why?" She questioned me with a raised eyebrow.

I stood up really upsets. "Because I don't want to!"

Mother stood up as well. "You will go with me whether you like it or not Emeri."

"But mother..." I said in desperation.

She turned her back to me. "Go to your room."

I run to my room with tears in my eyes.

I hate her!

I hate my mom!

She doesn't love me!

She never care!

Maybe we are rich, famous and a ruler. But this is me. I'm a lonely sad girl. I'm a prisoner of my own mother. She is controlling everything even my life.

I don't like someone else, but Avery.

It is 7 pm in the evening and the party will starts around at 8 pm. I already informed my friends that we will meet in the venue. Of course, they're all invited because we are all came from a rich family.

I glanced at myself for the one last time in the mirror. Wearing a red flowing dress ended half of my tight. Red stilettos, red purse. Well, I can practically brag that I'm the Lady In Red with my red hair flows down to my shoulder blade. Okay! i wasn't forced to wear a elegant one. I did this for my own sake. Not because i want to get everyone's attention but I'm comfortable pleasing myself to look good.

"You are really stunning sweety." My dad complemented me as we all sit in the limo.

"You are not bad yourself." I told him. Father is already in his 40's but still look young.

Father smiled, showing his bring white teeth. "Have fun okay?" I just nod my head. "Don't mind your mother."

"What?" Mom scowled at him. "I only want the best for my child."

"But never dictate her life." Father said.

I could not help but hug him. "Thanks father. I love you."

He rubs on my back. "Anything for you Emeri."

"You spoiled her so much, Anton." My mom complained.

"But of course, Lin." Father said. "Emeri is my one and only child. I will do and give anything that she wants."

"That's why I'm here to discipline her."

Father laughed. "Yes you can Lin. But never force Emeri to do things against her will."

Mother slouched in defeat. "Whatever you say."

That's right father. Tell her that.

He is always so supportive of me. I know i can have his support in the future. You know, just in case.
