CH. 3 - Dinner with the Stillers

CH. 3 - Dinner with the Stillers

I raced back upstairs- after sprinting up 42 steps and passing 12 doors, I fling open my elaborate golden door and sprint into my room. I turn to the left, sliding on the gold speckled white marble and run through my clothing closet, which leads to my shoe closet, and to my hidden accessories room. I haven't even told Jess, Andrea, Kristi, Ali, or Becca about it.

I slide my hand underneath the second shelf that holds half of my Uggs. After my fingers glide on the smooth oak until they find the small scan pad, I press my pointer finger onto the surface, and I hear the small beep that initiates the sliding door on the side of the shelving unit. The ceiling in the shoe closet is 11 feet tall, and the shelves cover the whole walls, in a decent sized room.

The 11 foot by 1 foot side of the shelving unit disappears into the wall, and I shimmy sideways down a small corridor behind all the shelves and finally reach the accessories room. I know it's a pain to get to, but with over $40K of jewelry in here, I think it's worth it. And anything else I want to keep locked up, will stay safe and unknown.

My accessories room is like my sanctuary. It's got plain white walls, shelves, lamps, and basically everything in the room is white - but I have two One Direction posters, a bunch of Polaroid pics, and random colored things, and a bunch of glass cases over top of many different jewelry sets.

The accessories room is the very back left corner of our mansion, which is the general area of the mansion that's 'mine' - where my room and closets are. The decent sized room has two windows that face directly at Brandon's house. So let's all pray that Brandon's room is on the right side of their mansion so that I could spy on him from in here.

And tonight for dinner with Brandon, I definitely need to get what I came for - my Victoria's Secret Ultimate Bombshell Push Up Bra. Since I'd only had on an everyday bra under my simple light pink cami, and the cute light gray speckled VS Pink zip up sweatshirt, my outfit was too simple. Too... average.

After putting on 'my secret weapon' - I'm feeling pretty confident. Time to shimmy back out into the shoe closet. I walk back to the narrow pathway, ready to get out of the hidden room. Oh. Shit.

For once in my life, my boobs are too big. I can hardly squeeze through the 1 foot wide area, and this trip has taken longer than I thought considering I had only half an hour to get ready. And it's basically up! I shimmy back through the hall, as fast as I can, and make it to the door. I check my girly Rolex, and see that in reality, I have two minutes to get downstairs.

I slip out of the hallway to the secret room, and quickly scan my finger to close it, then sprint and weave through the zigzag maze from the shoe closet to the main clothing closet, and into my room, almost stumbling into one of the small sofas that surround my bear rug and 70 inch TV. I sprint out, swinging the golden door shut with a slam as I race down the hallway as I head to the foyer to meet my parents.

"Add! Addelaide, you're going to the dinner with us, right?" My dad yells up to the second floor, as I'm midway to the stairs.

"Yeahhh! Coming!" I yell back, as I finally round the hallway and start scurrying down the stairs, taking all 42 one at a time. Once I get to the floor, I stand, panting, and gasping for breath. God, this bra must be super tight or something.

Oh my lord it's happening. We're all set to go to the Stiller's house. CeCe Stiller and Brandon Stiller- thats's cute sounding! I wonder if they have a Dad or husband in their mansion, I guess I'll meet him tonight.

"Ready?" My dad asks, looking at my mom more than me. She scowls and walks out the door- and she really looks quite gorgeous in the simple black dress she's wearing.
