Him ; Bastille

Shopping ; 12

Kitty has been in the same shop for over three hours. Every dress she tries on 'isn't the one'. I don't know what she means by 'the one'...but I feel like I'm a nuisance. I'm doing nothing except telling her that she looks beautiful every other minute. I mean...I'm not lying. She looks fucking incredible, no matter what colour she puts on.

"I'm so tempted to get a wedding dress." With that I burst out coughing. Not laughing...prober coughing. I think I just swallowed a whole lot of air. "Why?" I nervously laugh.

"I hate my brothers fiancée, like I couldn't care less about her. Maybe I should wear white on her wedding day...just like the time she wore the same dress as me for a casual dinner — the dress was my prom dress." I mean...what? "So she's a copycat?" Kitty sighs loudly as she sits next to me in a tight mini dress, she really suits it.

"Yeah...I mean...she's only doing it because she is jealous of me. If there was any situation where mine and her lives would be at stake and my brother could choose to save one of us...he'd save me." I'd never thought about that. Who would I save...my invisible girlfriend or Syd. That's a tough one. I think I'd commit suicide just so them two can sort it out amongst themselves. "She's forever trying to take attention away from me." That must suck.

I don't say anything. I let Kitty get up and watch her head towards the bride section. I on the other hand go on my phone and text Syd. The weird thing is that she hasn't texted me like she normally does, somethings off.

Me; Are you okay?
    — Syd; why aren't you coming home?
Me; Because I've found a new home...
    — Syd; but you're not home! Home is here. Not America!!!
Me; I'm living with Kitty.
    — Syd; she your girlfriend now?
Me; No. Just a mate.
    — Syd; please come home Dan
    — Syd; i miss you so much
    — Syd; mum and dad are a total state. It sucks seeing them this
        way, but you wouldn't know. Because you're not here!
   — Syd; fuck you Dan.

I deserve that. I deserve my sisters hate. I literally rub my forehead as it begins to ache, "is everything okay sir?" A friendly woman with long blonde hair and chestnut eyes asks. I take my hand away from my head and falsely smile. "I'm just waiting for..." I point in the direction of the bridal department. "You're a bit young, aren't you?" I go to say that I'm not the one marrying Kitty. Or the fact that no one is marrying her. She just wants to upstage the bride. Kitty's revenge is going to be so subtle, but yet powerful. But Kitty walks out in a short white dress, "how do I look...future husband." Kitty gives me that look of 'play along' I mean...I thought guys can see their wives wedding dress before the wedding?

"Is it a spear of the moment type of thing?" The woman asks looking a little confused. I mean it probably is strange seeing two youngish adults, one of which looks like a hobo, in a designer bridesmaid and brides dress shop. "Yeah..." Kitty's voice trails off as she looks at herself in a floor length mirror. Her dress is beautiful. It's short but has a train. It kinda looks...fucking hot.

"Can I ask why? Are you guys expecting or..." the woman's voice curiously trails off as I shake my head for the both of us. "We're just young and dumb." With that the woman looks disappointed. "May I ask as to what's going to happen to the dress once the wedding is over? See it just premiered on New York Fashion Week...it's from the new season. Season eighteen. Only a few of it's kind..." with that Kitty shrugs. "I'll reuse it at some point." The woman looks horrified. I'm pretty sure that she is going to kick us both out.

"It's very expensive..." she's doing everything she can to put Kitty off from buying the dress. "It's a good think I have lots of cash then." Kitty always looks at me and smiles after she does or say anything rebellious. I hate the word but since Kitty is living up to it...she's very cute. I crack a smile and look away before it gets a bit weird.

Irresistibly I look back seconds later. "I'll take it." Kitty smiles as she looks at herself in the mirror once again. Fuck being subtle — Kitty is going to be the star of her brothers wedding. I'm all for it, Kitty doesn't deserved to get hated on by anyone...especially not her brothers soon-to-be Mrs. "The dress is perfect." I mumble under my breath, just loud enough so Kitty can hear, while the woman pushes Kitty back to the changing room.

FYI Kitty totally is gonna outshine the bride on her wedding day :D
