Loving You. . .

Dreams and Dresses

"She was the girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that's important." Marilyn Monroe

"What are you doing here. Vanessa said that you weren't coming." I back away from him and my back hits the walls.

"You would have like that, wouldn't you?" He takes a step towards me. "You don't want me here because you don't want me to see what's hidden under that loose dress."

"I don't know what you are talking about. There is nothing to hide. And besides last time I checked your sister didn't want you at her wedding. She hates you" he takes another step closer, making my heart speed up.

"I'm not here for my sister. I'm here because I was told that there is something mine in you at this very moment and for the next few months." He reaches out to touch my stomach. I grab his wrist before it touches my baby. The door is burst open.

"What are you doing here? Get out now!" Vanessa looks like she is ready to kill him.

"You have no right to come to my wedding and demand to speak to the girl you left."

"You knew. You knew about my child and you didn't tell me." He looks at his sister with so much anger that it scares me.

"Your child. He is nothing to you. You rejected his mother, you left her, remember?"

"I'm back now. I take everything back. She will forgive me." His eyes soften as he turns his attention to me. "You always forgive me"

"Leave" I look at him right in the eyes. "Leave me and MY baby alone."

I am awaken from my weird dream by a nauseating feeling. I rush to the bathroom and kneel in front of the toilet. What's wrong with me? I haven't eaten anything, this usually happens when I eat a lot, but I hardly eat.

"Hey Mimi, want to go... What's wrong? You said you weren't doing this no more." Vanessa takes a hold of my hair.

After I'm finish, I get up and make my way to the sink.

"I didn't provoke it, this time. I just woke up and I ran straight to the toilet. I think I'm sick." I brush my teeth and I walk out the restroom.

"I'm sorry. I just assumed." She helps me lay back on my bed.

"It's okay, I mean with my past, it's normal to assume. Come lay with me, let's watch a movie and then we can get ready to go shopping for my dress." Vane turns to the t.v and grabs the remote. She comes back and slides into the covers.

"Which movie?"

"Umm, A Walk to Remember, my fave."
********************************************
"I can't believe you are still crying." She shakes her head as she sees that there are still tears flowing down my face. "It's been and hour since we finished it."

"She had so much to live for. She was loved by Landon, why is the universe so cruel to good people." I start sobbing. God I don't know why.

"If you know the movie makes you cry, why did you watch it?" She wipes the tears falling.

"Cuz it's my favorite movie. It gives me hope that some day I'll find someone that loves me as much as Landon loved Jamie. He did everything to make her happy, I want that."

"Okay. Enough about crying, let's go look for your beautiful dress. What color?"

"Red." I state. "Red means love and passion, I want red."

"Someone is in love." She leans on me. "Do tell."

"It doesn't matter. I wish, but he will never feel the same way."

"And why not, Mimi? You are smart and caring and you are beautiful inside and out."

"He says I'm a slut and worthless. He takes me and then throws me out." My tears are falling down my cheeks.

"Who is he?" She takes a hold of my face.
"A guy at school. You don't know him."
"And what are you guys. Boyfriend and girlfriend? Dating? Friends?"

"Friends with benefits." I look at the ground as I say it. I don't want to look at her, I can't see the look of disappointment she is giving me.

"What? Mimi, you lowered yourself for a guy not worth it. God I wish I knew who he was so I can kick his ass. You've been distant because of him." She hugs me as she continues talking.

"You had so much hope and strength and he took it away from you. What kind of human being does that to a girl like you."

"Please don't talk bad about him. He is nice too." I don't want her to speak like that of her brother, even if she doesn't know. "I love him."
********************************************
"That dress looks beautiful on you, Mimi." I blush as I hear him say that.

"Thank you, Alex. Why aren't you going? It's prom." I pout.

"It's not my scene. I'm actually going to go hang out with a friend." His hand is caressing my arm.

"Oh okay. Well, have fun." I lean closer and I give him a kiss on the cheek.

"You did that on purpose." He says with a smirk on his face. He tries to remove the lipstick stain from his cheek. While he does and kiss his other cheek. Just by looking at his face as he is taking it off, I start to laugh.

"This isn't funny, Mimi. Now I have red on my face." He goes to garb my purse and takes out my lipstick.

"Alex, don't you dare, I have prom in like 10 minutes. Put that away." I grab his wrist to prevent him from getting it on my face."

"Not so funny now, is it?" He drops the lipstick and he puts his hand on my neck.

His hand inches closer to my lips and our eyes never leave each other's.

"Remember when you were have your quinceañera and the day before I grab your nose so hard it left a mark that lasted three days." His thumb is touching my nose. "The day of the party your nose was so red it can out in pictures." He smirks at me. Oh hell no.

"Don't you dare, Alex. I could never look at those pictures because of you." I'm not really mad and he knows that.

"I think you need you need more color on you your face you look pale." When he says that I stiffen. He notices, because his eyes look worried.

"Are you sick? Is that why you have been so pale and tired all the time?"

"Nope. I'm perfectly fine. It's just stress." I know he doesn't believe me, as he is about to say something else, Vanessa walks in.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah."

You got to see the good side of Alex. The next one will be shorter.❤️
