"Look At That Woman"- ROLE MODEL

"Dude, do you think this is too fancy?" Garrett says as he tries to fix his tie in the mirror.

I look at him, "Nah, man. Trust me, you're dressed appropriately. Wait till you see all these people at this thing." I explain to him as I polish my black dress shoes.

For some reason, I was so set on making sure my outfit looked perfect. I didn't want a single flaw, no wrinkles, no stains, nothing. I wanted to make sure her parents didn't judge me. I was an adult now and I was gonna show them just that. They'd probably still hate me considering the fact that I'm coming unannounced and I'm bringing all my friends. But at least I could try and get one thing right.

The whole group were staying at a hotel right now, it was an hour away from my parents place but only like 20 minutes away from Jules'.

I turn to Garrett and see him looking in the mirror with a frown on his face. He stares at himself and fixes his hair up. He looked insecure, it was weird. He was never insecure, he was Garrett Gray, he knew he was attractive and funny. I hope he's okay. I was gonna tell him about everything as soon as we got back home. I didn't want to delay any longer. I wanted to fix everything I messed up. I wanted to start with Julianna first.

There's a knock on the door so I walk over and open it to reveal Taylor. She was wearing a sage green, silk dress and her hair was flowing down her shoulders. I give her a small smile but she ignores me and walks towards her boyfriend. I sigh as I watch her walk up to him, he smiles down at her and places a kiss against her lips.

"You look very nice." She says as she fixes his tie up a little.

"Really? I feel like I look kind of dumb." He chuckles.

"No, you look really good. I like seeing you in a suit." She says.

His smile grew bigger, and just like that he was back to being a big ego Garrett. I was honestly glad he had Taylor, he deserved someone like her in his life. Especially after all the shit he's been through.

"Are rich people nice?" Garrett asks.

"You're rich." Taylor says.

"Oh yeah, rich in money and in pussy." He smirks.

"Gross." Taylor says as she slaps him in the back of his head.

The hotel room door opens again to reveal fucking Julianna. I stare at her in her tight black dress.

Woah.

God, I was so in love with her. Fuck my life.

"Aw, you look so pretty, Jules." Taylor tells her.

Jules smiles, "Thank you."

I feel my heart race. This girl gets prettier each time I see her. She looks at me and smiles, it makes me feel warmer inside.

"Tay-Tay, look." Garrett says.

We all look over at him and see him sitting on the edge of the bed putting his shoes on. I chuckle as I watch him pointing to his pant zipper that was pointing out.

"Ew, you're a child." Taylor says.

Garrett laughs, "It's a fake boner."

I laugh with him and Taylor sighs.

"You need help." She tells him.

He smirks, "You're the only one who can help me, Tay-Tay."

"Oh my god." She says before she walks out of the room.
