Mackenzie
I walked into a dress shop in the local mall near my apartment. I was hoping to find the perfect dress since the ball was set for next week on a Saturday.
After what seemed like forever trying on dresses I couldn't find one I loved so I decided to call Julie from work. I wasn't really close with many girls back in school I had my head stuck in books and school work I never built relationships with anyone even after. The only ones were Dexter and Sofia but Dexter I knew since my classes in jujitsu that I started when I was 4 years old.
After the third ring I heard Julie "hello?" She said nicely.
"Hey I was wondering if you wanted to have some lunch and maybe go shopping if it isn't a bother?" I asked a little to formally.
She proceeded the laugh "girl you don't do this very often huh?" I laughed I guess she knew exactly who I was.
"Yeah I don't but I'm trying I could really use a friend" I smiled awkwardly knowing she couldn't see me.
"I'm in! I need a dress for the ball it's coming so fast I didn't realize I almost didn't have time!" I laughed.
"I'm literally in the same boat where did you wanna meet?" She then stayed silent for a while.
"Are you at the mall if so I can just meet you there" we said our goodbyes while I waited I got some ice cream from a vendor in the mall.
"Ms. Jones" I turned to see Mr. Frost with his fiancé and another girl maybe his sister or a friend?
"Mr. Frost is nice to see you" I smiled waiting for him to introduce me to the two women he was with.
"This is Caroline Edge.... My fiancé" he said awkwardly "and this is Claire my younger sister" he said more cheerfully.
"Hi I'm Mackenzie it's so nice to meet you both" I said with a smile.
"You're the famous Mackenzie that almost got my brother's job right?" At first it sounded like she was kinda mad but she quickly laughed it off.
"This might be very random but you're gorgeous" I blushed I really don't know if she was being genuinely kind or fake.
"Thank you and you're gorgeous as well!" She flipped her hair jokingly "why thank you don't tell me that too much cause it'll go to my head" we all laughed.
"What are you doing here?" Mr. Frost asked
"Well it is a mall what does one do here?" Me being a smart ass always had to be sarcastic.
"Well yes but are you dr-" he was cut off by Julie
"Hey sorry I'm late the traffic was horrible" she then saw Mr. Frost.
"Mr. Frost hi how are you?" He smiled
"You know you girls can call me Dominic while out of work." Both Julie and me looked at each other not knowing what to say from there. He was our boss after all someone who could fire us if we made any little mistake.
"Well. If you don't mind we have to go find a dress" I said when Caroline interrupted "why don't we all do it together both Claire and I need one and Dom was going to get a new suit as well" I smiled I didn't want to be rude and neither did Julie.
"Mr. Frost is here for a suit or were you dragged here?" He chuckled. "Can you tell I was dragged here?"
I laughed and nodded "Sure why not" Julie said and we all proceeded to a gorgeous dress shop in the second floor of the mall. As soon as I walked in a wine colored dress was calling my name. I walked towards it and wow I was out of words. It was a long silk maroon colored dress with a dangerously high slit up the leg. The neckline was square with thin straps and open from the back. This was my dress!
"Why don't you try it on" said Mr. Frost standing very close to me. My breath hitched from the closeness. I grabbed the dress and headed for the dressing room.
I took off my bra so that I could see exactly how this dress would look since the open back was going to expose that bra. I looked at myself and I couldn't recognize myself.
I walked out and Julie gasped "oh my god! You're taking that right?" I smiled and nodded.
"God you are perfect" I heard Mr. Frost say lowly but pretended not to hear after all Caroline was here.
"You are stunning" Caroline said and I smiled she was proving to be a wonderful girl and I felt guilty feeling some sort of attraction to Mr. Frost.
All of a sudden my hair tie was taken off and I went to grab the hand that did that but he was already staring at me hair tie in hand. My hair cascaded down my back when I looked at myself in the mirror.
I hadn't worn my hair down in a while I was almost not used to seeing it like this unless straight out of the shower.
"You should wear your hair down more often you look... gorgeous" he said.
Julie came and fixed my hair putting pieces to the front and some to the back "you really should your hair is to die for!" I smiled.
This whole store felt hot. I couldn't help but fan myself I usually was always good at schooling the faces I made but with a certain someone looking at me nonstop and this dress I didn't feel like I could.
This is dangerous territory Mackenzie I need to stop!
