Chapter 43.

2 weeks later:

"This is a good store, they sell beautiful dresses, Hermosa." Adriana said while entering the store, making me look at Mei. Mei was wearing a suit and had her hands stuffed in the pockets of her pants, looking back at me as she shrugged.

"Listen to her, she knows what she is doing." Mei said and motioned for me to enter the store after Adriana. I nodded before walking inside after her, Mei behind me.

We are currently looking for a dress, since the Ball is soon. I am nervous, like a lot. But Adriana seems to be quite excited about this, since she immediately said she would help me prepare for the Ball.

I need to say, it's quite weird being with these two now because both of them don't know anything about my pregnancy at the moment. But since I am eight weeks pregnant, we only have to wait around four more weeks till we can start telling others about it.

"The most important thing is to find a glamorous dress for you. Since this is all about you, you need to catch everyone's eyes. I remember when Carlos held that Ball because of me, I looked gorgeous." Adriana said while smiling to herself, which also made me smile as I nodded.

She looked around, grabbing a few different dresses, before pushing me into the changing cabin. I tried my best to not even look at the prices, since I could tell from the very first moment we entered this store, that this is an expensive store.

I tried on quite a lot of dresses, but there was never a good dress. One of us always had something to criticise about the dresses.

Then I tried on one dress, which I really liked. My hands glid over my curves, smiling into the mirror before leaving the changing room, showing the dress to Adriana and Mei. Both of them watched me for a moment.

"Could you give us a spin, hermosa?" Adriana asked and I nodded before spinning around, also watching myself in the mirror while doing so. I fell in love with the dress.

It wasn't too glamorous, so that I felt uncomfortable wearing it, but it also wasn't too plain. Since, like Adriana said, everyone's eyes would be on me, I needed to look good. Adriana made that very clear to me.

"So, what do you two think?" I asked, looking at the two.

"I think it's a good dress. I like the way it fits your body." Mei said and I smiled at her before my eyes wandered to Adriana, giving her a curious look.

"It's okay. Normally I would tell you to wear something more extravagant, but I can tell that you wouldn't be comfortable with that. Do you like it?" She asked and smiled at me. I smiled back at her while nodding.

"I really do like it, and it's quite comfortable." I said while looking into the mirror, my head tilted to the side while I watched myself.

"Bueno, we will get that one for you then." Adriana said while clapping her hands one time. I turned back around to them and saw how she looked at Mei.

"What about you?" She asked and Mei looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"You know me, Adriana, I hate dresses." She stated and Adriana just rolled her eyes while clicking her tongue.

"Don't be that way. This is about Victoria, your best friend, make an exception and wear a dress, will you?" Adriana asked and Mei looked away while an annoyed sigh left her mouth.

"Fine, but just this one time." Mei said in defeat, making me and Adriana look at each other excitedly.

I liked the way my and Adriana's relationship was improving more and more with every day we spent together. I think Ryder was right, she liked me from the very beginning, she just had a weird way of showing it.
