Suffer

"OMG, Kendra, that would look amazing on you. Aidan would totally ravish you on your honeymoon." I heard Donna squeal once I put on the second dress I was given.

I chuckled, "You think so?" I spread my arms and twirled to give them a better insight.

"Totally." She smiled.

"Hm, well, it does look pretty. But, It just doesn't give me that 'that's the one' vibe you know?" I said.

Anne (A/N: Luna Black) smiled and nodded at me, "Of course dear, you still have thousands to go through. Besides, there's no rush." The gils nodded in agreement and gave me an encouraging smile.

I gave them a grateful smile in return before walking back inside the changing room and trying on the third gown.

This gown, by far, looked simple yet elegant. It had a lacy top that was tight around the waist and flowed to my feet. Completely covering my legs.

When I put it on, Reina started to howl approvingly.

'This is the one.' Reina said, approvingly.

I smiled and stepped out, knowing that this the one.

When I fully stepped out, I heard multiple gasps. Not only from Donna, Jess, Lily and Anne but from staff members, too.

"Well, I guess I found it." I smiled, adoringly at the dress.

Marie, the employee that's been helping us, smiled. "Will you look at that. You look wonderful dear. You must get this and I'm not saying this just because I work here. You look absolutely amazing."

I grinned, "Thank you, Marie. I guess I'm getting it."

"You look lovely, Kendra. I hope Blake takes some pointers after this." Donna chuckled.

Me and the others laughed at her joke, "Oh, he should be or else he's getting an earful from all of us."

Donna nodded.

"Now, why don't you change? We have lot more things to do." Anne chastised.

"Bonjour, mademoiselle." The French baker, Pierre, greeted. "De quoi aves-vous besoin?"

Anne smiled at Pierre, "Bonjour, Pierre, moi et mon belle-fille sort ici pour un test de gâteau."

Pierre gave a shocked look before returning to his cute grin.

"Tu connais le français?" He asked.

Anne nodded, "Oui, j'ai voyage en France. Mais, allons-y?"

Pierre smiled before nodding, "Oui."

'I didn't understand a single peep.' Reina barked.

'Yeah? Me too.'

And something tells me that the girls didn't either. All I got was Bonjour and Oui.

We followed Anne and Pierre towards a long line of delicious slices of cakes.

"Alors? Vas Y." Pierre urged.

Me and the girls gave Anne a look of confusion and her eyes widened, "You don't know how to speak french, dear?"

I chuckled before shaking my head, "No, I don't, Anne. None of us do. I was actually quite surprised you knew."

Donna scratched the top of her head, "Yeah, I was sorta confused by your little talk earlier." Jess and Lily gave a bashful nod before smiling.

Anne chuckled, heartily. "Oh, goodness, I didn't know. Me and James went to Paris last summer. But, anyways, he sorta told us to dig in."
