Chapter Two

The maid entered the room shortly carrying a green velvet dress along with jewelry and shoes to match. Alice thanked her sincerely as she quickly gathered the clothing and started changing. The green dress clung to Alice's matured and curvy body, with a frilly flow at the bottom of the shimmering emerald dress. Her earrings were pure emeralds along with her necklace, and her diamond heels were luxurious.

"Oh, Shun shouldn't have done all this for me!" Alice mumbled softly to herself as she clipped some of her hair back with an Emerald Clip. She looked at her glowing face in the mirror and frowned slightly. Why was she so ugly looking? However, Alice was the complete opposite. Her face looked like it was glowing and anyone would be attracted to the natural beauty.

Alice glanced at the watch and gasped, she was late in meeting Shun downstairs! She hurriedly slipped her feet into the heels and hastily made herself down the marble stairs, only to freeze when over a hundred eyes turned to stare at her. Alice blushed heavily as all of Shun's guests swooned over the red-haired girl, in which was quite uncomfortable around so much attention. Shun quickly noticed a mob by the stairs and excused himself from talking to the prime minister to see what the problem was.

When he found the answer, he gasped. Alice looked beautiful. Even beautiful couldn't describe how naturally gorgeous she was. "Oh god, she's going to be the death of me." Shun whispered slightly as he made his way through the crowd to reach Alice.

Alice had been looking around uncertainly until a pair of familiar amber eyes melted her heart. Shun made himself to Alice and gawked at her beauty, as if he was in a trance.

"Shun?" Alice asked uncertainly, and Shun shook his head, breaking his thoughts.

"Wow…Alice…you look-I can't even describe it…Gorgeous, flawless." Shun complimented bashfully, and Alice smiled at him sweetly.

"You look quite dashing yourself, Shun." Alice complimented back, her eyes trying to avoid Shun's muscles that were quite showing because of his outfit.

Shun chuckled amusingly at Alice as he took her hand smugly, watching every young boy in the room frown. Alice looked around shyly.

"Why is everyone staring at me, Shun?" Alice asked quietly and Shun chuckled.

"Because they're jealous, I have the most beautiful girl in the whole world to myself." Shun replied, kissing her lips softly, and quickly broke away before his guests made a commotion. Alice blushed heavily, but gripped tighter to Shun's hand.

"You don't look to bad yourself, Shun." Alice complimented back honestly. He certainly did look handsome, his tuxedo was tight enough to show how much muscles Shun really had… His raven black hair was once again left out and his amber eyes looked down warmly at Alice.

"Not as good as you, though." Shun joked as he led her through the crowd. "C'mon I want you to meet a few friends of mine." Shun said as he led her to a group of three guys chatting with each other.

"Hey guys, I want you to meet Alice. Alice, these are my closest friends, Marucho, Ren, and Ace."

Alice smiled politely. "Nice to meet you."

Ace grinned cheekily. "Not as much as meeting you! No wonders Shun can't stop talking about you."

Shun blushed heavily and Alice's face flushed slightly. "I hope they are good things." Alice joked playfully and Marucho, a short blonde haired boy grinned.

"Of course they are. And besides, any friend of Shun's is a friend of ours."

The gray-haired boy rolled his eyes. "Yeah, friend of Shun's friend of ours. Name's Ren." Ren stated flatly, holding out his hand, in which Alice shook unhesitatingly.

She could tell Ren was much like Shun, secretive and mysterious…but she couldn't help but feel something was wrong with him…something suspicious.

Shun fake coughed, letting Ren know that he should let go of Alice's hand. Ren flushed slightly but let go. Shun smirked, but grasped Alice's hand again. "We'll be going now…" Shun stated and Ace smirked.

"We're just glad you finally picked a girl! You're like the last one." Ace teased and Shun snorted.

"Nope, Ren is still left." Marucho and Ace laughed.

"Oh well, you're going to be the only one with the bachelor party!" Marucho joked and Shun and Ace chuckled while Ren glared at them.

"Not funny." Ren growled and Alice's face remained confused.

"Bachelor party?" Alice questioned and Marucho and Ace sweat dropped.

"You didn't tell her yet?" Ace whispered harshly and Shun gulped.

"Well, sort of…I kind of got distracted." Shun defended and Marucho sighed.

"You better tell her tonight, before it's too late." Marucho reminded softly and Shun nodded, ignoring Alice's more confused face.

"Tell me what?" Alice suddenly asked and the boys blushed.

"…"

"Shun?"

"…I'll tell you later, Alice, I promise."

I hope so.
