Madness

Part 7

"Michelle, how about this dress?" Olly said as she pulled from behind her a beautiful indigo dress. It had rhinestones coming down the sides, with lace sleeves, lace all the way to where the back would end, it draped down, the front was v-shaped and the left side pulled in to the right and it was held with a beautiful pendant. "Olly, I-" I started to say but couldn't finish due to how fascinated I was with the dress. "No need for words! Go try it on!" "Ok! Ok!" I took it and literally sprinted my way to the dressing room.

As I slipped into it, I could tell that it fit perfectly. When I opened the door and I came out, Olly and Harry both dropped their mouths open. "What do you think?" I said as they both looked at me from head to toe. "You look Amazing!" They both said at the same time. "You really think so?" "Yeah babe! You look stunning!" Harry said making me blush as red as a tomato. "Awe, stop." I said in a giggle. "Dude, you look so good in that dress." Olly said in astonishment. "Now help me find one!" She said as she pulled me toward a rack of sparkling dresses.

I pulled out a cute turquoise strapless dress. It went great with her skin tone. The dress had a glittery top and a fluffy ruffled cute bottom. The mid section had a diamond shaped opening that had a lace covering. Every layer of fluff was a lighter turquoise color than the one before it. "Olly! Omg, try this one!" I yelled at her with a hint of excitement. "Wow, that is so gorgeous!" She exclaimed as she took it from my hands and walked to the dressing rooms.

"Michelle, would you like to go to dinner with we tonight?" "Yes, of course. I would love to." I replied to Harry as he gave me a small kiss. "But, wear that indigo dress. I really love seeing you in it." He said in a flirty tone. "Oh, ok then." I said with a giggle. Olly stepped out and she looked just like pop princess. Wearing her high top converse, hair in a ponytail, and a beautiful dress, she looked like she could capture the whole world with her beauty.

"Olly, you look... Smashing!" Harry said with great enthusiasm. "Olly, you look impeccable. So beautiful and amazing! Like a modern princess!" I said to her as she looked away in shyness. "Dude, that's it. That's the dress. It was made for you." Harry said to her. I could see that her cheeks where about to burst with how red they were. "Olly, I think we are done. We should go pay for these." "Yeah, I'll be right out." She said as she went into the dressing room to change.

"Babe, what else are you going to shop for?" "Ummm, shoes. And some accessories." "Oh, alright then. I'm going to look for some aviators. My old ones broke." "Alright, Curlytop. Have fun!" He kissed me one last time and left. I went into the dressing room to get out of the dress. "Michelle? Where are you?" "I'm changing Ol's. I'll be right out!" "Oh, ok! Where's Harry?" "He went to go buy some shades." I replied as I came out. "Oh. Ok then." Olly said in acknowledgment. At the cashier, I looked out the window and I saw Austin walking past the store. He seemed abit sad even though he was hanging out with friends.

Have I caused this much harm to him? I'm a horrible person. A monster. Olly looked over at me and placed her hand on my shoulder. "It's ok, Mitch. He hurt you more than you hurt him. He'll get over it. He'll move on. Just like you." "Thanks, love. But I hate seeing him sad. It kills me." "I know, Mitch. I know. Just try and forget about it for today. We have so much to do today!" Olly said in excitement as she grabbed our bags. 'She's right. It's a fun day! I need to stop thinking about him.' I thought to myself as we walked out the store.

"Hey, Ol's? Want to get a Boba?" "What's that?" "You've never had a Boba?" "No." "Well today is your lucky day! I'll buy one for you." "Ok." She said as we headed toward the Boba store down by the food court. "Babe!" I heard someone yell out. Where is it coming from? There are so many people here. "Babe!" I heard someone yell out again. I kept turning my head in many directions. "Its Harry!" Olly said as she pointed up. "What hells!" I said as I looked up. Harry was looking down on us from the second floor, waving hysterically at me. It was a sight to see. His dark curls bouncing all over the place. His big beautiful smile that could light up a dark room. And that childish sense of humor only he could give.

"We'll be right there Curlytops! Don't move!" "Okaaay!" He yelled as me and Olly ran to the escalator. As we reached the top, he greeted us with some cotton candy and a small teddy bear for each of us. "You're my everything." I read the teddy's belly out loud. "Awe! Baby! That's so sweet! Thank you, I love it! You are my everything too. And you know, you mean so much more to me than anything in this world." "I know, darling. You are my princess." He finished saying as he leaned in to kissed me. "Whoa! Get a room!" I hear Olly say in disgust. "Sorry, Olly." Harry and I say in embarrassment.

"Mitch, how about we go into this store? To find shoes." "Sounds good! I'll be back in a few Harry. Unless you want to come with?" "I'm fine darling. You go, I'll wait here." He said with a dimply smile. As me and Olly went into the store, I turned back one more time and found Austin talking to Harry. Oh my bajeezus. What is Austin doing? Why is he talking to him? He better not do anything stupid. "Olly. Olly come here!" "What? What's wrong?" "Look over there!" I say to her pointing inbeteeen mannequins in the window and kneeling on the floor. "Why is Austin talking with him?" She says in confusion. "I don't know! But, he better not say anything about what happened between me and him." "And why not?" Olly says as she gets up off the floor.

"Because, I never told him about me and Austin. I told him that he was my bully. But never that we had um well that." "Oh, I get it. I'm sure he won't say anything. They seem to be getting along." She says as she peeks through the mannequins again. "Let's just go find shoes and get out of here. The sooner we leave, the better." "Yeah, you're right." We walk to the high heels section and begin looking. "Hey, look at these." Olly says as she hands me some funny looking heels. "Who would wear these?" I ask in a chuckle. "I don't know, but they are not worth buying." "Hey, how about these for your dress?" I say to Olly as I hand her some gold pumps with a cute bow on the side of each of them. "You could wear some gold jewelry. It would look fantastic!" "Wow, mitch! Those are so cute! I couldn't find anything that actually got my attention. I'll take these. These are so cute!" "Well, I'm glad to help." I reply with a big smile.  

As I scanned the shelves for a pair for me, I came across some silver stiletto pumps. They were covered in silver glitter from beggining to end. The actual heel was gold. They were simple yet elegant. "Hey, Ms. may you bring these down? I want to try them on.""Sure thing. I'll be right over. I'll just go grab the stick and come back." "Ok, thank you!" She went to the back and came back within seconds. "Which ones did you want?" "These silver ones." I say pointing to them. "Ah, very exquisite choice. I have a pair just like these. In fact, I'm wearing them right now." I look down and she was right! They look even better when they are actually being worn. "Thank you so much Ms." "No problem! And, call me Tanya. I'm here for whatever you need." "Well thank you, Tanya. It's very kind of you!" "She leaves and Olly helps me try them on. "Mitch, those look gorgeous on you. Harry is going to fall head over 'heels' when he sees you in them." "Really?" "Totally."
