Chapter 24
"Where're we going?" Dawn asked.
"We're going to a bridal shop and you guys are gonna fit some junior bride's maids gown," I replied.
Both of them squealed, "we're going dress fitting?!"
"Now quiet down," I say.
We six (that includes me, Holly, Callie, Jamie and the girls) were on our way to the dress shoppe where they made my wedding gown and now they were making the junior bride's maids and bride's maids gowns..
"Here's our stop. Everyone, get out." I ordered and parked right in front of the shoppe.
"Where's Farrah?" Holly asked.
"I don't really know, actually." I reply.
"What happens to her gown then?" Jamie asked as we went inside the shoppe.
"It's finished, actually. We had it done like a week or two ago." I said.
I went to the girl who assisted me last time. "Hi, I'm Valentine.. the girl who's getting married next month?"
"Oh, yes. How may I help you?" She asked.
"Well, my bride's maids are here for the gowns. I think I've had a sketch made out a week ago."
"Yes, please follow me." she nodded and went to the inside of the shoppe.
Someone gripped my arm tightly. "Val, you didn't tell me that this is Vera Wang's wedding couture," Holly gasped.
"My mom has connections. This is kinda like her outlet store." I replied.
"Miss Valentine, here are the dresses. 3 bride's maid gowns in violet with a twist of the rainbow's color and over here are 2 flower girls' gowns same color with a different design." The lady said.
"What do you guys think?" I asked, gesturing towards the dresses.
"It's fantastic, did Vera do this herself?" Callie asked.
"No, Miss Wang is the designer." The lady answered.
"And, I came here for another dress fitting?" I politely say.
"Yes, here is your wedding gown." She pulled out a bag that had a label of 'Valentine Harries' on it.
She carefully took the wedding gown out and told me to step inside the fitting room. "Ladies, you can try on your gown yourselves. This gown will take a bit more time to put on," she says to the girls and leads me into a huge fitting room. "This fitting room is exclusive for brides-to-be's only."
I felt like a princess. She told me to strip down and she put on a corset on me and yanked it until I couldn't breath. She got the wedding dress. It was fabulous. it was cream colored but a bit pinkish really. it was strapless and it flowed freely around my legs. I really felt like a real princess.
"Well, how do you like it?" She asked.
"Is it part of the design that I can't breath?" I asked, half joking and half meaning it.
"No, it is not. And I mean the dress, how do you like it? Do you need more design or beads, anything?"
I shook my head, "I like it plain and simple yet very classy."
She nodded, "your bride's maids are outside waiting, impatiently I might add."
"Ok, let's go. I wanna show it to them." I say.
I went out of the fitting room and was greeted by cheers and wolf whistles.
"Dayum, girl. Don't you look fine!" Holly said.
"You look gorgeous! Stunning!" Jamie applauds.
"No words to express how beautiful you are right now." Callie wiped a tear.
"Val, when Hunter sees you He's gonna have a heart attack." Dawn says, smiling brightly.
"What she said," Daphne grinned.
"Well, you guys look beautiful too! The dress compliments you a lot," I say.
All of their dresses were according to their taste. I asked what they wanted to have in their gowns and they listed it down for me, as for Dawn and Daphne they send their ideas via Hunter and I gave them to the designer.
Holly's gown had one shoulder, Callie had this weird yet amazing strappy design, Jamie had her gown with two straps, the girls had the same designs expect that Daphne had a ribbon on her back while Dawn didn't.
"That will be all, thank you." I smiled at the lady.
She helped me out of the gown and we went to a famous cafe down town called The Frappe. It was full of people and we had to wait for a few minutes before we could sit down.
"Who's paying for everything?" Holly asked.
"Our parents, of course. I think they're helping each other pay for everything. Our moms specifically paid for the honeymoon." I replied, drinking my strawberry smoothie.
"Are you happy that you're marrying Hunter?" Dawn asked.
"At first, no. I was furious, i mean I've hated him since we were kids and now my fate was intertwined with his. And now, I do. I do love him."
"He loves you ever since." Daphne says smartly. "He always tells us about you. you're his The One."
"Guys have The Ones? That's weird." Jamie laughed.
"As much as guys don't admit it, they do have their The Ones. They just have such a gigantic pride and ego to not admit it." Dawn added.
"How old are you two?" Callie asked, intrigued.
"We're thirteen," Dawn replied.
"What she means is we just turned thirteen last month." Daphne laughed.
"Are you like twins?" Jamie asked. "We're twins." She pointed at Callie and herself.
"No, we're not. Dawn is younger than me by a day." Daphne said proudly.
"It's just 23 hours and 5 minutes." Dawn rolled her eyes.
"Wow, that was intense, you counted?" Holly asked, wide eyed.
"Of course not, I calculated it. There's a birth certificate you know." Dawn answered.
"Back to Valentine," Daphne says, clapping her hands. "Why do you hate Hunter so much before?"
"He said something that upset me." I mumbled.
"What did he say?"
"HesaidIhadcooties," I say really fast.
"Seriously?" Daphne laughed out loud while the rest of them said what.
"What?" Dawn repeated.
"She said, Hunter said she had cooties." Daphne laughed some more, then the whole gang followed suit.
"Well that was stupid." Callie rolled her eyes.
"It was a crime to say that back then!" I defended myself.
"Whatever you say, Val." They said in unison.
What did i do wrong? I thought, laughing to myself.

The gown's pic is at the side/top. But the gown isn't exactly the same as the picture though. The base color of the gown is violet, and there's lots of other colored fabrics on top of the base fabric. It's not puffed out like the one in the picture, it's actually just a straight cut.
