Truly, Madly, Deeply

Chapter 24: Wedding Woes

Bella's POV

I was wrapped up in one of Harry's jumpers as I listened to my music on shuffle. Daffy had been gone for about a month and the house was a scary silent. I hadn't talked to Harry since he told me over Skype that he and the boys had just released their new music video.

Nonetheless, I was bored out of my mind.

*beep* *beep* *beep*

I unlocked my phone and saw a message from Daffy.

Hey Bells. Missing you. And I am so freakin bored.

-D.D.D

I messaged her back.

Daffy! I knew we were telepathic! I'm bored as.

-Bella

I looked down and felt a big, fat wad of fur curled up on my stomach.

"Hey Bronxie." I said, scratching her behind her ears as she purred softly.

I loved the fact that I had the weekend off from work. I mean, I loved looking after kids at the daycare centre, but too many of my shirts had rainbow handprints on them.

I sighed, gratefully as I looked at Bronx's squashed face.

And then I realised that I was supposed to be meeting Mim to look for wedding dresses.

Crap.

Mim's POV

"Beth! I told you! I am not letting your cousin play bagpipes at the wedding." I exasperated.

"But you're okay with letting Daffy enter in on an elephant with a monkey as your ring-bearer? Please." she bit back.

"The only reason you're going is because you're Louis' plus one." I explained.

"Whatever." she said as she rolled her eyes.

We looked for dresses in a husky silence while I continually checked my phone.

Bella was supposed to be there twenty minutes ago.

"Mim! Mim! I'm here. I'm......here." Bella panted as she ran through the gleaming white doors.

"Finally!" I breathed. "I thought you had skipped out on me or something."

"Of course not!" she replied bearing a fake smile.

"You remember Beth?" I said gesturing to the figure scanning over a stand of magazines.

"Hey Beth!" Bella waved.

"Hi." Beth replied giving her a quick glance and a smile.

"So, I'm looking for a dress like this." I stated taking a crumpled magazine clipping out of my handbag.

"Ooh, sassy!" Bella cooed.

"Yeah, I know. But the thing is, I can't find any matching bridesmaids dresses, yet. And I need them today."

"That's my mission, then?" Bella laughed.

"Sure, why not?" I grinned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bella's POV

Mim was on the verge of a panic attack, Beth's hair was frizzing because of all of the walking we'd been doing in the biting winds and I hadn't eaten a thing all day, unless you count a mint I got for free at another wedding store, which I do not.

"I can't find anything." Beth yawned as she tried to flatten her hair. 'Try' being the key word.

"Just keep looking!" Mim stressed.

I flicked through all of the racks in the corner of the store looking for any remnants of pink or gold.

And then I saw it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mim's POV

"Mim! How about this one?" Beth asked picking up a sequin covered gold dress.

"No." I simply answered.

"This one?" she asked pointing to a revealing pink dress.

"No!" I breathed through my nose.

"Mim!" Bella shrieked with excitement. "This one!"

"No, no, n- Oh my God." I mumbled. It was perfect. The dress was a pale pink that ended at the knee, with a gold waistband.

"Did you find a dress yet, ladies?" the sales woman asked.

"Yes! This beauty." Bella smiled, her cheeks glowing.

"Oh, yes. Those two dresses are the only ones in London." the woman explained.

"Please, both of you try it on before I cry." I smiled.

Bella laughed as Beth picked up the second dress.

I sat down in the leather armchair, and sighed with relief.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beth's POV

I zipped up the dress and turned to the mirror. It was a perfect dress.

"Beth? Bella?" I heard Mim ask through the door.

"Yeah?" we replied in unison.

"Are you finished?" she asked, her voice shaking.

"Yep." I said, opening the door and showing the dress.

"You both look gorgeous!" Mim gushed.

I looked at Bella. She was beautiful. I walked over to her to adjust the hem of the dress. As I did, my birthstone ring hooked onto a loose strand of material and ended up ripping the whole left side of her dress.
