"So what was all that noise?" Brooklyn asked with a smirk, I nudged her.

"Shut up, whatever!" I said . She shook her head.

"Is y'all wrapping it up?" She asked as we was on the way to look at dresses.

"I'm on the pill." I said as I turned the steering wheel.

"Umm still be careful." She said getting on her phone, I nodded biting my lip.

"I know but uhh August is such a sex addict." I said .

"Have you tried counsel?"

"Yes!" I said sternly , slightly looking at her. "But we have grown emotionally, which is all I ever wanted, so I'm not as bummed about him being addicted."

"He still needs to slow down." She said with a 'stop' hand. I nodded.

"I know I just.." I started as I sighed. " I don't know how to say no , I guess."

"No! There it ain't no damn rock science . If he gets mad then he'll just have to be mad but if he really loves you, he wouldn't take it so harsh." She explained, i nodded as I took it all in. She was always like my second younger mother in my eyes and I valued her opinion.

"Ok I'm going to try it." I said as we pulled into the parking lot. She nodded.

"Good cuz I know y'all are nowhere near ready for another Drew." She said unbuckling her seatbelt. I shook my head .

"Nooo!" I exclaimed making her chuckle. We got out as we started walking up to the building.

"Hello how are you ladies today?" A lady asked with a smile, behind the desk. We smiled back.

"Great, how bout you?" I asked, she nodded.

"I'm great also, so who's they special lady getting married?" She asked. I did alittle dance as I pointed to myself, making them laugh.

"Ahh congratulations, come on let's go to the back with the dresses." She said coming from behind the desk. We followed her to the back of the store.

"So did you have a style in mind?" She asked, I nodded.

"Yeah maybe like the mermaid style!" I answered, her and Brooklyn nodded in union.

"Ok that will be very nice on your petite figure!" She said , I smiled as she started getting me some dresses to try on while talking at 100 mph, I don't know what she's saying because I'm focusing so much on the dresses.

"Ok so try these on in here and come out on this runway and see how you like it and maybe your friend can help you!" She said with a smile, I nodded as I went into the dressing room.

After finally getting the dress on, I came out so that they would see.

Brooklyn had an unamused look so I knew she didn't really care for it.

"Hmm I'm not quite feeling that dazzle with this one with you." The clerk said turning my around a bit. "Try on the others." She said, I nodded as I walked back into the dressing room.

Struggling with another dress, I finally came back out.

Brooklyn had a nonchalant look.

"It's ...it's something." She said.

"Be honest." I wailed. I do not wanna look totally foolish on a day like this.

"Ok I hate it." She said biting her finger, I slightly chuckled as I looked at the clerk.
