^Dress^

~~~~

I shake my head and walk further into the store. Not really sure what just happened? I accidentally bump into Bee who was holding a couple of dresses that fell to the floor. We both drop to the ground and pick them up. She looked at me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I look up at her. Her face had a worried expression.

"You alright?" I smiled through my teeth and nodded.

"Let's try some dresses on!" Bee smiled and we walked over to the changing rooms.

"Ok I picked a bunch of dresses and you have to try them all on okay?!" She pushed my back shoving me into a changing stall and gave me a dress to try on.

"Do I have to?" I groaned

"Yep come on" she shooed me. I picked up the first dress and slip it on. I look at myself in the mirror. It was a short red ruffled dress. With little puffed-out sleeves and a small bow in the back. I roll my eyes at my appearance and pull back the curtain. Bee looked at me and tried her best to bite back her laughter. But failed...

"Yeah yeah soak it in..." I said waving my hands unimpressed.

"Next," she said through laughs. Bee handed me the next dress and it wasn't that bad but still pretty bad. It was a white long sleeveless dress. It had a shiny belt that hung low on my waist. I walk out and looked at Bee. The dress looked worse on me...

"It looks...? Umm" Bee hesitated looking at me up and down.

"It looks like a cheap wedding dress I got at the thrift store..."

"Yeah okay, you're right... go back in" I shake my head turning around going back in. I take off the dress and Bee sticks her arm in and hands me another dress. I take the dress from her looking at it for a moment. I stick my arm back out of the curtain holding the dress for her to take back.

"I'm not wearing this..."

"Why?" She asked

"It's skimpy..."

"Okay don't you wanna look hot?" I peak my head out trying my best to cover myself and not reveal my half-naked body.

"Yes but I don't wanna show up as a hooker Beatrice..." she laughed and took the dress back from me.

"Fine wait here I'll look for more dresses." I nodded and closed the curtain. I leaned against the wall and grab my phone that was laying on my clothes that were sprawled out on the floor.

Tom🤍: I'm sorry

Tom🤍: Lia I'm so sorry I turned my phone off like an idiot...

Tom🤍: Please don't be mad

Tom🤍: Oh god you're mad

Tom🤍: I'm sorry baby

Tom🤍: Can I still come to see you?

I smiled to myself scrolling through all the messages Tom had left for me.

Lia: Come around eight

The grey bubbles pop up immediately. He messaged back instantly. Which made my heart flutter a little. It was a weird sensation in my chest...

Tom🤍: Oh good you're not mad!! Ok, I'll see you at eight sunshine <3

"Ok try this on!" Bee poked her head in. I throw my phone back on my clothes and I attempted to cover myself with my hands.
