Hidden Motives

The Dress

Right after I was released from the tutorial I remembered Maddox's bike. I had forgotten all about it since I had abandoned it after my lecture when I was arguing with Dylan. I sped my way to the lecture hall and saw that it was still there. I sighed in relief and rode it back to the Walsh house.

Upon arriving I noticed that Adyline was already inside. Just as I opened the door she came rushing out and grabbed my arm. "We are going shoppinggg!" she squealed excitedly.

I laughed and said, "Right now?"

"Obviously! Unless you want to be late! It's already 3:15" she scolded.

"Ok ok! Let's go!" I said while resting Maddox's bike on the porch.

We then got in the car and picked up Kailyn. She lived in a huge home that looked like a Manor. There were gates leading into the driveway just like my home back in Los Angeles. It reminded me a little too much of home. Soon enough Kailyn called saying she was almost at the gate. Adyline decided it would be best if we waited outside just because she didn't want to run into Scarlett.

Once Kailyn reached us she got into the back seat and said "Heyy! I am so ready to go shopping!!" 

We all laughed and drove off to Westfield London. Apparently, it was this shopping complex that was very popular. The drive was a bit long, but we arrived at around 4:30 giving us an hour and a half to shop. We needed to head back by 6:00.

Upon arriving we went straight to "Bravissimo" in search of a dress. Adyline already had this black dress picked out at home so it was just me who needed a nice dress. 

Immediately upon walking in I saw this beautiful dress. It was the same deep red as my birthday dress and I was truly happy I had brought my Louboutin heels. They would go perfectly. This dress was a lot shorter and seemed more fitted. Adyline saw me looking at it and directed her gaze to it as well "Oh my goodness" she gasped. "It's perfect!" 

I then smiled as I went to go look for my size. Kailyn also saw it and seemed astonished by its beauty. "Girl you are going to make that dress look even better!" she squealed.

Once I found my size I went to try it on. When I turned around to look in the mirror I was shocked. The dress fit every one of my curves perfectly. It outlined my figure while complementing my skin tone beautifully. It brought out my eye color and I couldn't even imagine how pretty it would look with accessories. This dress was perfect.

The second I walked out Adyline and Kailyn's mouths both dropped. They were definitely in shock just like I was when I saw it. Beautiful was an understatement for this dress.

 "That is the most perfect dress I have ever seen. It looks soooo good on you!" Kailyn smiled. 

"That's an understatement Kailyn. That is literally the most perfect dress on the most perfect human. I literally can't believe how good she looks!" Adyline yelled happily.

I smiled at them both before saying "Thank you, thank you" and taking a bow.

They laughed and Kailyn said "Max is going to die when he sees you. He's going to wish he did everything right!"

Adyline tried ignoring this comment and continued with her own. "We are going to have so much fun tonight! You're going to have all the guys crushing on you!"

I laughed a little before saying "Well I am going to go actually buy it now, it's still not technically mine." 

We all laughed as I changed back into my clothes before heading to the front to buy the dress. It was a bit expensive, but I didn't really mind. This whole pounds system still confused me though. After buying the dress we headed to a few other small shops to gather some accessories. Once we finished that, Adyline noticed that it was 5:58, we needed to head back.

The car ride was full of us laughing and getting excited for the night before us. We were going to have so much fun. 

And most importantly, I was going to make Max wish he didn't mess up. I was going to get his attention like no other.
