Chapter 11

I walked into Bella designs, my moms clothing line, and looked around.  Meg and I were going to my moms work because my mom wanted to design our prom dresses.  I looked around the three story building and walked towards Ashley’s desk, my moms assistant.

“Hey Ash.  Do you know where my mom is?”

She looked up at me and smilied.  Ashley wasn’t much older than us.  Ashley and her twin brother both worked for my mother.  James, Ashleys twin brother, worked along side my mom.  He helped her design the teen line and the mens line.  They were both about nineteen years old.

James was absolutely gorgeous.  He was tall but still muscular.  He had messy brown hair that fell perfectly on his head.  His eyes were a nice deep brown that you could stare in forever.  Ashley was very much the same.  She had long curly brown hair but her eyes were a piercing blue.  She was also much tanner than James.  They both looked like they belonged in the clothes instead of helping with it.

“Hi Casey.  She’s upstairs with James.  I can call her down for you” she grabbed the phone and called my mom down.

She came strutting down the stairs in her five inch heels with James behind her holding a fat folder.

“We need to make it more appealing to parents as well” my mom told James who looked frustrated.

She made her way down the stairs and threw on a fake smile for me and Meg.

“Yay! Younger people” my mom cheered teasing James and Ashley.

“Hey Casey.  Hi Megan” James said also putting on a fake smile.

“Mom can you do our dresses now?”

“Yeah lets go upstairs.  James come with us”

We all walked upstairs to my moms office.  Meg and I sat in front of her desk while James leaned on her desk. 

“What are the dresses for?” asked James

“Prom” I tried to say casually without getting excited

“What are you looking for?” he asked really curious

“I’m not sure yet”

“I want something super fun!” said Meg

“Alright girls  lets get down to buisness” interrupted my mom

Meg and I just sat there silent for a while.  James and my mom were going back and forth for what we should where.  They decided I would wearing something long and elegent while Meg wore something shorter and fun.  It felt like they were talking forever until finally my mom exhaled in relief and James smiled.

Meg’s dress was short and nude color.  The top was a strappless sweetheart cut with a rhinestone bodice.  My dress on the other hand was long and floor length.  The neckline was a slight sweethears and strappless.  The waist was empire.  The dress was accesorized with sparkling accents at the top of the neckline and under the bust, while the back was open.

“I love it Mrs.T” exclaimed Meg as she jumped up and down

“Mom this is absolutley amazing” I gushed as she showed me the sketch

“Well I have to hand it to James.  He thought that you would both be amazing in strapless.  I agree”

I got up and gave her a huge hug and then turned to James.  He was standing there with his arms open so I went in and gave him a hug.  The phone rang and my mom looked at it and groned.
