you're cute ➳ brent rivera + brad simpson

CHAPTER 31

*Tallulah's POV*

"You look like a hippo in that dress." Lexi giggled as I twirled in the white wedding gown.

"Why thank you." I replied and kissed Lexi's cheeks, keeping my distance from her ketchup covered hands.

It hugged my curves (and bump) but didn't make me look too fat. The dress was a beautifully full ball gown, that featured a sweetheart bodice swathed in beaded lace appliqué. I wanted it with a chapel-length train to accompany the gown's bodice. The hand-draped silk shantung with a sexy lace up back and circular ruffled skirt was silky and the draped overlay also added uniquely elegant touches. What? I researched a lot on wedding dresses.

"You look stunning." Sophia smiled as she took a photo of me.

"I can't believe I'm getting married." I said as I twirled again and admired myself in the mirror.

"Have you chosen the maid of honour and the bridesmaids yet?" Lexi asked. Why isn't her mouth hurting after all this smiling?

"You, Lexi, are obviously going to be one of my bridesmaids and Sophia you have to be my maid of honour." I explained and Lexi ran up to hug me.

"How can I miss my best friend's wedding?" Sophia smirked and I giggled.

"We have to sort out the rings, the food, flowers, invitations, the vicar. There's just so much. I can't get the dress just now because I am going to get bigger. Trust me." I rambled.

"We can book it so when your belly gets bigger we can get the same dress but a larger size."

"Thank you Sophia...for calling me fat but in a subtle way." I smiled and she laughed.

I walked into the dressing room and took off the dress before changing back into my jeans and oversized sweater.

"I want Starbucks." I pouted as I gave the assistant back the dress.

"You have an addiction and you need to stop." Sophia said whilst wagging her finger in front of me.

"Sophiaaaaa I'm warning you. Stop doing that." I sang with gritted teeth.

"Why?" She asked still wagging her finger. I leaned forward and bit her finger. She pulled it back and wiped it on her shirt.

"That." I smiled and Sophia hit me.

"Fuck Tallulah what was that for." she cursed and I hushed her whilst pointing to Lexi who was trying to contain her laughter.

"There is a little girl in our presence, control your profanities." I hushed and Lexi stepped forward.

"I am not little Tallulah. I'm 14 next month and I know a lot of cusses thank you very much." Lexi defended and I applauded her confidence.

"Prove it." I said and Lexi gasped.

"I erm well. Shit...fuck...faggot...erm bitch-"

"Ah ah ah no hunny. Bitch does not count because it is the technical term for a female dog." I informed and Lexi nodded before continuing.

"Wanker, arse, shit-"

"Hold it there Lexi. Disqualified for repetition." I said sternly before giggling.

"Damn it." She muttered and we left the bridal shop. I am such a bad influence.

"Why are you obsessed with caramel frapuccino's. Just why?" Sophia asked as she stared at my drink. I slurped it loudly and it caused everyone to look at me. Lexi hid her face and I snorted.

"Ohmygosh frapuccino up my nose! FRAPUCCINO UP MY NOSE." Tears brimmed my eyes as I tried to snort the drink back down. It hurt so much and I flapped my hands signalling for tissue. People crowded around us and Lexi groaned at the attention we received. Finally someone handed me a napkin and I blew my nose into it. A brown substance spread around the material and I laughed awkwardly.

"Sorry guys." I apologised and everyone muttered whilst walking away.

"We need bridesmaid outfits." Lexi said and I nodded whilst trying to sniff out anymore Starbucks left in my nose.

"I found these dresses that can rip open at the front."

"The hell?" I asked and raised my eyebrows.

"We can all wear a shirt underneath that says 'I Ship It' and rip open our dresses to show it." Lexi said looking down.

"Lexi that's a great idea! Ugh I could kiss you." I grabbed her and kissed her forehead. Her cheeks became a dark red crimson and her eyes creased at the sides as she grinned. Just like Brent.

"The dresses are kinda cheap cause of the material but you can design it as well." Lexi continued to explain and I got my notepad out.

"Lexi you're gonna get awarded for this." I said whilst biting down on my pen.

"The dresses come in 3 different lengths. There's above the knee, knee length or around the ankle."

"How do you know all this stuff?" I questioned still biting my pen.

Lexi looked down and blushed immensely again.

"I er was doing a little snooping. Kinda pre-planning my own wedding."

"Awwwwwwwww." Sophia and I said at the same time.

"That is so cute Lexi." I complimented as I pointed my black pen to her.

"You deserve a great guy in your life." Sophia put forward and I nodded in agreement.

"I'm sure when the time comes everything will fall into place," Lexi smiled, "Just like it did for you."
