Falling For You

-L-

Do you like having every fifth chapter in Drew's point of view? Or would you prefer everything in Harley's? 

It's weird trying to write as a boy😂

"Drew come on, let's go!" I can detect the slight impatience in my mom's tone. 

"I'm coming!" I barrel down the stairs as fast as I can.

When I get downstairs I barely have time to slip on my sneakers before my mom is pushing me out the door. 

"What took you so long?" She doesn't wait for me to answer, fumbling through her beige purse for keys. "Your dad is already in the car go buckle up." 

Following her instructions I enter the big blue van that sits on our driveway; although it's Harley's not ours. 

"Hi Drew!" Harley greets from the back seats. 

Immediately I smile back shuffling into a seat, clicking the belt on. 

"You two ready for a fun day of shopping?" Duke Davidson asks us. 

"I hate shopping." Harley and I say at the same time. 

"Me too." My dad sighs, causing us to giggle. 

I can see Myra roll her eyes a little but she's smiling too. "But it's for a wedding, doesn't that make it more exciting?" 

Not wanting to say no to her mom I look at Harley. "No." She says confidently. 

After waiting through numerous traffic jams we park at a fancy looking clothing boutique. Apparently there's not many parking spaces at this place, which is why we carpooled. 

Stepping out of van I'm bombarded with a number of sights and loud noises. Cars are honking their horns in one direction, and a construction site is hammering away in another. My house is quite and peaceful compared to this busy and overwhelming setting. 

"Isn't downtown so cool!" Harley practically yells to me even though she's standing right next to me. If Harley likes downtown, I think I can like it for her too. 

"Kids come on, we're going to be late for our appointment." Mom motions with her hand to hurry up. 

It's almost completely silent inside the boutique, only faintly loud vehicles could be heard. 

Our parents talk to some fancily dressed lady who ushers us to another room. The room holds huge floor to ceiling mirrors, with three large panels side by side. There's a rack with suits and tuxedos of various colours and styles hung up. Beside it is another long rack with dresses of all shapes and sizes, not too mention the large range of colour. 

We all take a seat on the cold white leather chairs, waiting for the lady to come back with more helpers. Once the others appear It is nonstop, trying on so many different pieces of clothing I lose count. 

Eventually after we're all exhausted- except Harley's fashion loving mom of course- and can't wait to take a break. Not too mention grab some food since we're all starving. Who knew trying on outfits was so difficult? 

It does not take long for the big day to arrive. My uncle Davey is marrying a nice lady named Susanna. From what my parents say Susanna's family is rather rich and they like their events fancy. 

Since Harley's parents went to school with mine, they also got to know each other's families. Uncle Davey went to the same University as them for a year.
