His Virgin Neighbor

Chapter eleven

Victoria was in a changing room, she was exhausted, she had tried on so many dresses and not one was suitable, they were either too short, too long or just too tight that she was scared to breathe without ripping them.
She bit her lip as she looked at the last two dresses that were hanging on the changing room door, she sighed and picked the purple silk sleeveless long dress, what a beautiful dress she thought as she slipped it on.

She turned to the long mirror hanging opposite the door, the dress did actually fit her, it hugged her curves, the silk felt nice on her skin and she found to her relief that she could breath without the fear of ripping her dress.
She sighed in relief as she removed the dress, she hung it back up and got dressed in her green sweater, black leggings, and dark red jacket, she loosened her hair to tidy it before tying her hair back.

"I've found the dress!", she said smiling and walking over to Marie who was already looking at the shoes, Marie gasped when she saw the dress, "I love this dress!", she giggled and touched the skirt, "he is going to love you in this", Victoria was unsure about that as she was comparing herself to the women he had been seen with, let alone been with.
Marie took her arm and dragged her to the shoes, "now you've found the dress so now we will find the shoes and after we will have lunch and you can tell me all about yesterday and what happened with the waitress".

Victoria could tell that Marie was eager to hear about everything, she sighed to herself "once I find the right shoes for this dress then I will", she picked up a pair of dark purple high heel sandals with straps, they looked very classy she noticed and they suited the dress well, she smiled and lifted up the shoes, "I found the shoes", she was pleased the shopping was done with.
Victoria paid with Lucien's credit card as she promised him that she would and she and Marie went to their regular diner and as they sat eating cheese fries and drinking coffee, Victoria told Marie the incident with the waitress which made Marie spit out her coffee, "so she just tried to push you over? So she could have Lucien's attention?" Her eyes were wide as if she couldn't believe it.

Victoria nodded, "yes and she got fired and I have a feeling there will be many of her like that at the gala", she said, looking down at her fries, feeling her appetite fading, Marie shook her head, "from what I've seen and read is that these women go to these events because they want to be seen, I think the last thing they will be thinking of is fighting you, just think of the reputations they will get", she chuckled.
Victoria gave her a little smile, she really wanted to believe that, she drank the rest of her coffee and placed the cup down, "I'm not hungry", she handed her plate over to Marie who took her plate, she grinned, "so what was kissing Lucien like?" Victoria couldn't help but smile, "it was good", Marie folded her arms onto the table and leaned forward, she frowned, "is that all you can say?!" Victoria, pursed her lips, "yes, that's all I can say", and she laughed when Marie muttered to herself as she began to eat the rest of Victoria's fries.

Victoria couldn't help but look at Lucien's house and she noticed his car wasn't there as she walked past to get to her own house, she debated on whether to post his credit card through his post box but she decided to wait until he was in, so she could hand it to him.
She walked into her house and placed the bags onto the sofa, she took her jacket off and hung it up by the front door, she switched her lamp on and sat down next to the bags and wondered how these women enjoyed shopping every day and not get tired like she was now.

She giggled to herself as she thought what would happen if she asked one of the women at the gala that question when she heard a knock at her door and she knew now who it was by that knock, it was Lucien, she smiled and opened the front door allowing him to come in, she noticed he was wearing casual clothing and not a suit, so not on a date tonight then she mused, even though she knew it had been at least a month ago when she had last saw him in a dinner jacket.
Lucien walked into her living room and saw the bags on the sofa, he smiled, "got everything that you wanted?" Victoria smiled, "yes I did", she got her purse out from one of the bags and pulled out his credit card to him to take, "thank you, I used this for everything just as you made me promise", he smiled and took the card from her, placing it in his pocket, "good".

Lucien placed his hands in his pockets "are you hungry? Because I've just cooked and I've made more than enough for just me and it would be a shame for it to go to waste", Lucien watched as she nibbled on her bottom lip, what he wouldn't do to suck on that bottom lip again just like he did this morning, he thought.

Victoria licked her bottom lip and noticed Lucien watching, she knew if she made the first move, he would let her and that would lead to everything that she imagined she would do with him which she knew would only lead to breaking her heart, he had already broken so many hearts so what would be one more to him but what would the harm do when it came to having dinner with him? She thought.
She took a deep breath and nodded, "I am hungry so yes", she smiled, "I would like to eat", he smiled, "I hope you like steak", she opened the front door, she grinned, "I like steak", he chuckled and followed her out as they walked together to his house.
