Okay now back to the story:
Chapter 9: Lydia
"Okay, what about this one? How does this look on me?" asks Erica, posing, making us laugh. "Bitch please! You're a fucking model, everything looks good on you." Anastasia snarles, rolling her eyes. I and Veronica fake gasp in disbelief "Anastasia Sinclair!" I exclaim "How can such crude words come out of your cute little mouth?!" Veronica adds in,"Who's teaching my little baby such language?" "Seriously?" Ana rolls her eyes at us. All of us burst into laughter.
"Oh my gosh are y'all gonna stop joking around and tell me how this dress looks on me?" Erica says, clearly annoyed. And equally, perhaps even more annoyed Ana jumps in to answer,"It obviously looks good on you." "So should I buy it?" "It's a party Erica, not your fucking wedding." Erica scoffs, "Please Ana, it does not look like a wedding dress." She turns to face us, " right guys?" Silence. "Guys?" Dead silence. "Ladies?" Deafening silence "OH MY GOD IT DOES LOOK LIKE A WEDDING DRESS!" Erica exclaims.
"We thought you liked it, we didn't wanna be harsh on you." Veronica tries explaining.
"I-" "GO CHANGE BITCH, STOP YAPPING" Ana yells. "FINE". I laugh. Ver and I always love watching this Eri-Ana banter.
As soon as Erica comes out of the changing room Ana sighs,"finally, it took you long enough." "Oh please you-" "Shush, Erica quiet, hear me out" Ana shuts Eri up and takes a deep breath, "Okay so have we forgotten who the party tomorrow is for? we can shop for our outfits later but first we must find an outfit out of this world for this ethereal woman." She says gesturing towards me. "Aww Ana that's so swee-" "Lydia shut up." I- did she? Did she just tell me to shut up? I was thanking her. Audacity. "We're low on time here!" Ana exclaims. "Erica, model, get Lyd the dress, send pics on the gc." She takes out her phone and Wait. "ANASTASIA DID YOU JUST KICK ME OUT OF THE GC?" "Yes Lyd, and now shush, we're talking here" Wow. Just wow. I- wow. "Erica, dress" "On it" "Veronica, jewellery, stat." "On my way" "And you Lydia, here is your movie ticket, go watch it and meet us back at Priscella jewels." "What movie is it?" "JUST GO AND WATCH IT" "fine, chill" I answer, rolling my eyes. This girl. ugh.
3 hours and 1 movie later, I'm at Priscella and there's no sign of them anywhere. Late ass bitches I was about to call Ana when I spotted Ver. I wave at her and she waves back, coming closer. "You're late." She giggles,"more like you're early" I roll my eyes,"where are the others?" "LOOK BEHIND YOU" Ana and Erica screams together. "FUCK!" I scream. "You idiots startled me, and when the fuck did you come here? I was-" "Ugh y'all speak to much, no time for that." Erica drags me away. "Just get inside the staff changing room, wear and see what we got you." "Fine, Fine I'm coming, leave me. I don't like physical contact alot" "Shut up Lydia" all of them say together. Why am I not being allowed to speak today?
I get into the changing room with the stuff they got me and put it on.
After wearing it, I stare at myself in the mirror. And then I just keep on staring.
Wow. This dress, this jewellery, it's so Extravagant. Everything about it, it's just- Wow.
I stare at myself for 10 more mins and then make the ultimate decision.
"Elsa, are you going to come out?" Ana yells. "Yes, and who is Elsa?" "You" "Since when" "Since now" "Why" "Just cause" "Weirdo" "whatever just come out already!" That I do and before I say anything "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING!?" all of them scream together. Knew the reaction. Expected it. "You'll see it tomorrow." "No but how dare you" Anastasia and Erica start blabbering "But this is not right" "Erica grab me the gun" "THE GUN? here, have a knife, give her a slow, painful death." Ana looked wide eyed at Eri "Good idea rica" Such Drama queens. "Y'know" I start "both of you should've been soap opera actresses instead of a mafia princess and a model." "I am going to kill you Lydia" Ana lunges forward with the knife. "Come at me you bitch" I stand, ready to fend her off.
"ENOUGH!" Ver shouts. Oh shit this is serious now. Veronica's snapped.
"Ana, knife down" She instantly drops the knife. "Erica back up." She does as Ver says "And Lydia, stop provoking Veronica." I nod. Okay mother "All of you are acting immature. Lydia for god's sake you're married, stop with this childish demeanor. And you two, if she says you'll see the dress tomorrow, you will see it tomorrow." "Do you all get me?" "Yes" all of us say together.
Ver smiles. "Good then" she sighs "and now, group hug!" All of us smile and go in her open arms.
"Look at the time" I say, "It's very late." Ver adds in,"Yes and I think it's time for all of us to go home now."
And so we do, We bid each other farewell and part ways. I get back straight to the car.
Being with these ladies gets my mind so much at ease. Now I can think clearly and, thinking about it, I think the best decision will be to talk to Levi about what happened. The more I delay it, the harder it'll get to address.
And now that I think about it, I really do feel like it's something different. Like something between us has cracked, Like there could actually be a change. All of it, it's a glimmer of hope.
I smile.
"Claire." "Yes madame?" "Drive me to Vititello's office."
A/N It's not a filler chapter, I won't return and just give y'all a filler chapter. But yeah, I hope you liked it.
