MY WORST FEARS (Completed)

chapter 35

Laila's POV

"There is no way am going to wear that dress. You must be insane", I said as I walked out of the changing room. Hellboy was stupidly smiling holding my handbag before he took a step closer to me.
" remember the deal." He chuckled and his smiled got my blood boiling.
"There is no other way out Lay unless you want to see me crying", I folded my arms at my chest and dared to look him right in the eye.
" No you won't dare", he placed the handbag on the floor.There was no way he'd that in front of crowd. No way he'd make a fool of himself.
"Watch me..", he said and walked back to the pile of clothes. Expensive dresses for celebrities on one side. I wouldn't wear any of those dresses, they didn't look like me. He walked to the regular dresses and picked up a red dress with a bare back. Hell no.
He walked right to me with a smirk on his face.
" baby, why won't you accept my gift? See how beautiful it looks on you", he said placing it on my hand pretending to cry. He had something on his had, right above his eye that dripped on his face like tears. He was pretending to cry while he knelt down before me.
"You know how much I love you. Please don't reject my gift. I beg..",  he pleaded and everyone's attention turned to us. My cheeks blushed.
" those aren't real tears", I said in between his ear in a whisper so no one could hear. He chuckled before he said,
"Only you and me knows that, everyone else don't and they can see how selfish you are to your boyfriend", he winked at me with a smirk on his face. I glanced at people's faces, filled with remorse for the poor boyfriend in their eyes. I couldn't give in. There was no way he'd win. Some nodded at me with a smile to take the dress while others just looked at me with disgust.
" baby...baby..please...", he continued and my guilt grew even stronger. If I took that dress, it meant there was no way I'd wear it with a bra. No. It couldn't be. He knew what he was doing to me and he enjoyed every moment of it. What to do?
"Come on, take the gift girl", a male voice shouted in the crowd and Hellboy turned to them with a smile. My hands were shaking. I wanted to leave and run outside but then where would I sleep. I had no other place to stay.
I thought of Tania's place, not a good idea. She lived with her parents and they wouldn't want a rebel in their house.
I thought bout going back home, but my mum would throw me out and never want anything to do with me. I couldn't stand the feeling. I preferred the messages she sent. I took as if she didn't want to say it herself coz she still loved me. She couldn't stand to send me away from her, her love for me wouldn't allow her. That's why she found it easier to say it in a text so she'd take her words back. I loved my mum. I really missed my sister. I wondered if she was fine. Should I try Calling her?
The constant shouting from the crowd ripped me off my thoughts.
" take the gift. Take the gift. Take the gift...", they shouted waiting for my response. My heart throbbed quickly as I looked down on Hellboy kneeling before me. For one I wished he was proposing. Heck no. God what's wrong with me?
"You'll pay for this", I grabbed the dress from his hand and rushed to the changing room, again. This dress was even worse than the other ones that he had chose before. I wished I had taken them instead or not. I just wish he didn't come.

I stared at the dress. The fabric felt soft against my skin. It was all open around the waistline and I was sure it wouldn't cover my thighs completely. I thought about Regina and how they had stolen all the clothes of that girl. What if somebody did that to me? I shook the thought out quickly and rushed outside holding the dress in my hands determined to do the plan that had popped in mind.

I saw disappointment on people's face when they saw me. Hellboy turned to me with a blank glare. I walked passed him to where the pile of clothes were. I stood against the celebrities wear probably making the worst mistake of my life.

" the dress was too tight, hun. You wouldn't want your girlfriend to look like a hawker. Can I chose another one", he smirked then stood right next to me and said, with gritted teeth.

"Yes That's the point...", before he could complete his thought I interjected.
" to choose another dress?", he faked a smile coming close to me.
"No to look like a hawker so I can find somebody who can buy you off me...you're really becoming a pain in the ass...", I smiled wide.
" baby, look at all this beautiful dresses. I'm so impressed to see you Want me to look more like your princess. Oh, I love you too", I said in mockery.
"Not this line.Let's...", I turned to him and gave him a peck, surprising myself also.
" Did you say something hunny", I said loud enough for everyone to hear. He shook his head no. He decided to play dirty, let's see who'd suffer. I smirked at him when I picked a silver long dress. I called the designer to help him pick up the other dresses so I could try on the dress.

I walked back to the changing, striping off my clothes expect for my bra and panty. Thank God I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of people.
My heart dropped to the ground when I turned to the mirror after wearing the dress, and saw the whole back was bare. Only a transparent material that had been put. Which only meant I'd wear without....
