Bless the Broken Road.

Chapter Twenty Two

Frances and Taylor were in the store trying on their dresses and admiring them. Frances's wedding gown was a beautiful white coloured sweetheart-neckline figure hugging dress with lace over the top. Her red hair was in a low bun with strands of hair escaping and framed around her face. "Wow." a voice sighed. The two young women froze on their spots and slowly turned around. The voice belonged to Chris who was stood in the store's doorway. Taylor flinched slightly but still managed to act sweet towards Chris. "She looks stunning, doesn't she?" Taylor said softly. Walking towards the two, Chris smirked and eyed Taylor's dress. It was a soft lilac silk dress with a slit running down the side of one's right leg ending midpoint of the thigh. Taylor sat down as Frances waltzed around and started to talk to the dressmaker and Chris sat down next to her. Chris placed his hand on a bit of exposed leg and Taylor flinched at the feel of his rough hand and pushed it off. Chris leant in and whispered into Taylor's ear, "Now, now I was just having some fun." Taylor felt disgusted and pushed him away. She stood up to go talk to Frances when Chris caught her wrist and gripped onto it. Taylor pulled herself free and muttered just loud enough that Chris could hear, "Touch me again and I'll call the cops." Chris smirked again and held up his hands in mock surrender. Chris remained sitting down as he watched the two women talk and then stood up. Walking towards the bride and her new friend, he snaked an arm around Taylor's waist. She wriggled out and distracted herself. "Oh wow, you're filling out there."
"Ugh, just go Chris. Go bother someone else with your idiotic behaviour."
"Chill Taylor. Just messing with you. Lighten up kid."
"Go home, okay. Then you can go and annoy the crap out of something else."
"As you wish, gorgeous." Chris whispered as he patted Taylor's bottom. Taylor was sick right to her stomach. She spun round and slapped Chris right across the face. Chris's once smiling face turned to a vile expression. He glared at her and muttered, "You shouldn't have done that. You'll be sorry." and with that, marched straight out of the door. Slamming it closed behind him.
