Imperfect Perfection (Sequel to The Light in the Dark)

Crystals and diamonds

"How does this one look." I spin in the sleeveless and lacy dress but I'm met with some disapproving glances.

"Eh." Meredith shakes her hand sideways.

"Totally not you Holly." Kacy shakes her head. She's holding Tyler and plays with him whenever I go Into the changing room.

"Okay..." I go back and change into the next dress the lady pulled out for me. It has off the shoulder sleeves in a translucent type of material with a diamond cover top that poofs out at my waist and flows gorgeously down onto the floor. I walk outside the changing room and immediately feel like a princess. Meredith's jaw drops and Kacy just has a knowing look on her face.

"Beautiful." Meredith breathes.

"That's the one. And if you don't get it I will." Kacy says.

"I love it." I say and spin toward the lady who brought them all to me. "I want this one." I say smiling when my phone starts to rig beside of Meredith and Kacy. I walk over and pick it up before I even check the name.

"Hey." Zach says on the other end.

"Hi." I reply.

"Have you got a dress yet?" He asked.

"Maybe." I say teasingly.

"Why won't you let me see it?" Zach begs.

"Because you can't see me in it till next month so shut up." I retort teasingly. After that I can almost see him glaring through the phone.

"Alright then, Holly. What time will you be back?" He asks me.

"Give me a few hours maybe? So we have decided on grey and pink for the wedding?" I ask. 

       "Yes." Zach clarifies. I picked the grey part and he suggested pink with it which I found amusing.

"Okay see you later." I say and hang up before I hear his response.

•••

"No you can't see it." I tease.

"Not even a picture?" Zach asks pleadingly.

"Nope." I say popping the 'p'

       "Holly." Zach says in teasing frustration.

         "Zach." I mock him and he sends me a glare. "Okay so Meredith and Kacy are sharing a room at the hotel down the street. And tomorrow we are going to go shopping for their dresses and Ginny will be coming since she had school today and she didn't want to miss. So who's gonna take the baby?" I ask at the end.

       "I can if you want." Zach shrugs.

        "Who's getting fitted?" I ask.

       "Me but I can get Andrew to hold him." Zach says.

       "Andrews not holding my baby." I say only half teasingly. "I'll take him. He likes all the pretty lady dresses."

       Zach smiles and rolls his eyes but gets under the covers anyway.

        "Good night." He says and immediately I hear the cries of a baby.

       "I'll get him." I say standing and walking into the guest bedroom that we hadn't yet fixed into a nursery but only had his wooden crib in the middle. "Don't cry." I whisper as I pick him up. He'd already gotten bigger from when I'd first got him. He seemed more alert and ready and his eyes were huge but still deep blue.

       "Tomorrow we will go see some pretty lady's in dresses." I say while grabbing the bottle of formula. "Here." I say letting him drink. After he's done I lay him back down.

      "Now go to sleep." I whisper kissing him on his forehead and going back
Into my room. "That was easy." I whisper as I crawl into the covers.

"Maybe he saw how beautiful you were in that dress but-" Zach stops. "I wouldn't know cause you wouldn't let me see it."

"Shut up." I tease curling up against him.

"Good night." Zach whispers kissing me on my temple.

"Good night." I smile into the covers that are pulled up around me.
