Stolen Kisses

Chapter Six

We picked up Sam and the car ride to the bar was... rather insufferable.

Sam was wearing jeans and a cropped white tee. I forgot I had misinformed her and regretted what was to come.Sam took control of the music. Bad idea.

I was all for listening to new music because I could discover new artists but we did not have the same taste. 

I just looked out the window and prayed for Mark to speed to our destination.

"Why are you wearing a suit?" she asked Mark.

"The attire was set to formal." he said.

"Uh no it isn't. Lu you said it was casual." Sam bitched back.

"I did?" I said guilty.

"You did." she said accusingly.

"Oh I forgot Ellie changed it last minute." I said.

Nice one Lucia.

She huffed and sat back into the backseat.

"You look fine Sam." I said.

"What are you wearing?" she protested.

I didn't respond.

"Helloo" Sam hollered.

Mark pointed to the back with his thumbs. She ruffled the bag and opened it.

"Dresses" she said like she couldn't believe it.

"You did this on purpose" she said accusingly.

I tried hiding my smile.

"No I didn't" I said.

"You're a bitch" she barked.

"Yea, you're a bitch Lu" Mark added.

I swung my hand at his shoulder. "Shut up" I said.

We pulled up to the bar and Sam went in, not exchanging another word. Mark and I walked in and I stood in awe. The place was decorated with red and black balloons, table cloths, and streamers. Vases with flowers were centered at every table and music was playing. Ellie came from the back and I handed her dress. 

"Its so cute in here" I told Ellie.

"Thanks. I went through hell and back but at least it's done."

She looked at Mark up and down and raised her eyebrows. 

"You clean up well" she said.

"Thanks" he replied.

"You did a good job with the place" he added.

"Thank you. Well I'm gonna go get ready. People will be here in 10 minutes" Ellie exclaimed.

"WHAT?" I say, starting to panic.

I turn to Mark and get my dress from him. 

"Uh sit down." I say pulling out a chair from the bar. 

"Ana will you make you him a drink"

She spins around and greets us with a smile.

"Ana, Mark. Mark, Ana." I introduce them.

"You look amazing by the way!" I yell running to the back room.

"Thank you!" she yells back.

Ellie's getting into her dress and I sit down and throw all my makeup on the desk. 

"You need to tell me what is going on between you and Mark"

I'm beating at my face trying to be quick but also do a decent look.
