One Win Was All It Took (Chris Evans)

From Shopping To Sleeping

I woke up the next morning to a knock at my door. Wondering who it was I slowly climbed out of bed and walked over to the door rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Morning!" Scarlet and Elizabeth both said as I opened the door. 'Bugger' I thought, I had forgotten we were going shopping today.

"I'm so sorry, I must have forgot to set my alarm last night. Come on I'll be two minutes tops." I said hurrying back into the room leaving the door open for them to follow, which made them both laugh a bit.

I rushed round my room grabbing my underwear and another dress, figuring it would be easier then shorts and a t-shirt, especially if I was trying on lots of different outfits. I shut the bathroom door and quickly got changed, brushing my teeth and washing my face before opening the door again. Thankfully I didn't usually wear makeup and my hair wasn't knotty as I had put it up in a bun before going to bed, so I took it out letting it fall down my back.

"Ready." I announced putting my cardigan on as I slipped my feet into my flats.

"Just under a minute, not bad." scarlet joked looking at her watch.

"I take ages to get ready, how can you get dressed that fast?" Elizabeth asked.

"Thanks, I guess it's a lot of practice. When I was at school I used to satay in bed until the last possible minute before I had to get up, so I'm used to getting dressed really quickly." I replied clipping my hair out of my face and grabbing my bag and an apple from the fruit bowl. "Shall we?" I asked opening the door. They got up and walked out allowing me to close the door.

"There's a car outside for us, unless you want to Walk?" Scarlet said as we got in the lift.

"No, the cars fine. I've never been shopping for a premier before, I'm actually quite excited." I said in between bites of my apple.

"Well you'll love it, I promise, some o the dresses are amazing. You're bound to find one you love." Elizabeth said as the lift stopped upon reaching the reception.

We walked through the reception and outside, where there was a car and a chaffer waiting. He opened the door for us as I through my apple core away, and we all slid into the back seat. The car was from the same company that picked me up from the airport so was quite fancy.

We were sitting on the car for at least ten minutes talking to each other. Scarlet told me about her daughter and showed me a few pictures on her phone of her that Elizabeth had already seen. We ended up talking about children and how both Elizabeth and I would eventually like to have children. Then about our nieces, nephews and younger cousins.

We got out of the car at Monique Lhuillier, it looked expensive even from outside. Scarlet said thank you to the driver and told him that we would be fine walking to the other shops from here and that we would call when we needed picking up. I didn't get anything from there but as the girls told me, "It's a good place to get a feel for what type of dress you'd like." Which it was, I wanted a long dress, that was either tight or had a loose skirt but wasn't puffy. So with a that information we left, continuing down that road we went into a few bridal shops as Elizabeth said that sometimes bridesmaid dresses worked well.

We went in quite a few shops before I found my dress, it was Karen Millen so wasn't ridiculously expensive, plus the girls managed to get me a discount as they told the shop assistant that I was wearing it to the premier. It was really nice, it was long and black and quite tight, it pooled at my feet a little and exposed some of my back with pearls lining the back section of my dress, I really loved it. I also got some black heals, some bracelets and a bag to match. All this shopping just made me more excited, I hope Chris likes my dress.
