When in exile

When in the wedding dress shop...... (Elizabeth)

I woke up still not able to process what went on last night, but it was real. I put a dress and heels and my favorite big chunky colorful jewelry and drove to the wedding dress shop to meet Brandy to try on dresses "oh Elizabeth, I'm so glad your here, I thought I knew what I wanted but there are so many dresses!" se says hugging me "oh, calm down... what do you want on the dress?" I asked, I've done this many times with many brides that have freaked out before "well, lace and bling...." she says looking through racks "well how about this one?" I asked pulling out the sexiest, see through, corset with lace and bedazzled jewels, and her eyes light up "oh my, this is just fabulous" she says laughing taking it to the dressing room to try it on, I find a few other dresses that I think she may like and then sit down on the couch and wait, when logan walks in "has she tried any on yet?" he asks sitting down "no, I pulled on for we and she hasn't come out yet" I say, a minute later she walks out and I start laughing and so does she "you know, I wasn't quite sure but I think this is the one for sure" she says sarcastically, I look at Logan's face and I laugh again "brandy Wilcox, please do not wear that to your wedding" he says getting down on his knees begging her which makes her laugh "I was joking logan it doesn't even fit my personality.... but it does fit Elizabeth's" she says with a grin "since you made me try this on, I will find a dress for you!" she says pulling the skimpiest dress off the rack and handing it to me "fine" I say taking it and heading back to a dressing room, I come out in it a couple minutes later and their jaws drop, I have to admit I look pretty good in it, I've always kept my self in wedding dress shape "you look hot" brandy says hugging me "why thank ya" I say striking a pose ad laughing, Logan's face is priceless it's full of shock and something else that I can't read... amusement, enjoyment, I'm not sure.... "I'm going to say exactly what any good brother would say.... Beth take that dress off" he says although his eyes say something else, so I lean down next to him "fortunately, my brother was the one that took me to my first club...." I say with a smirk, it was true Eric took me to my first club and let me go home with a guy, didn't even protest when I came home with hickeys. Logan's face is filled with amusement "you got told" brandy said laughing as I walk away, I come back in my regular clothes and Brandy isn't back yet "you looked really hot, in that dress" he says putting his arm on my shoulder "would you stop, she could walk out any second" I say removing his arm against my will and he pouts so I lightly slap his face "tonight I'm not holding back" he whispers in my ear smirking and I roll my eyes and push his face away. "I think this is the one" Brandy says coming out, looking stunning and gorgeous and perfect. "Oh my gosh, you look perfect!" I say getting excited "yeah, you look really good, James will flip" logan says taking a picture. "Send it to mother, please" Brandy says getting excited "she said she loves it" logan says a minute later "fantastic" she says running back to the dressing room. "Tell her I had to leave, ill pick you up at 9, wear shoes you can walk in and bring your coat" he says winking, he kissed my cheek and walked out the door " hey do you want to go grab some lunch?" Brandy asked coming out in her regular clothes "yeah sure, where do you want to go?" I asked "oh there's this little, cafe around the corner" she says ad we walk and get some food "I'm sorry, logan was a pain wasn't he" she says "oh no it was fine he apologized" I say thinking of how he apologized last night. "oh good, I'm so sorry for what he said, it was totally rude" she says "oh don't worry, it's all in the past now, we decided we will be bitter buddies" I say laughing and she also laughs, it was getting late "oh I have to go, James is coming home today from his business trip" she says smiling "have fun with that" I say hugging her and she leaves. I walk to this little Christmas shop and go inside, it was how my grandmothers house used to be, I loved going to her house she always had scones and a pot of tea ready, we always had tea parties and he taught me how to be a proper young English lady, and every Christmas we would make gingerbread men and drink tea... she died when I was in college and I acted out started going to clubs and bars, she would of been ashamed, but now I hope that since I've cleaned up my act she would be proud of me.... I found a little ornament that reminded me of her and I bought it and went back to my house. it was already 8 by the time I was home so I quickly got dressed, in boots jeans and a nice top, braided my hair and put a necklace on. I dearly hope he's not taking me some where romantic. he showed up and I got in his truck. "since we both despise love, I figured someplace romantic would be like suicide, so I figured this would be way better" he says laughing "oh thank goodness" I say laughing with him and we get out. It was a ice festival with food trucks and different things with ice, "you know a lot about me, and I don't seem to know very much about you" I say " you know more than think" he says "then tell me something I don't know" I say, he hesitates for a second "you make me want to not hate love anymore" he says laughing at his stupidity " aww that's actually really sweet, I think your heart is actually thawing" I say laughing with him "oh shut up" he says "are you blushing logan?" I asked when we accidentally bump into a couple that seems to know him "logan, nice to see you again" the girl says "Lindsey, Greg nice to see you" he says "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry you had to find out that way, logan I truly am" Greg says and logan shrugs "the past is past," he says "oh I'm so glad to hear that I've felt so guilty since leaving you" Lindsey says "its fine if you hadn't, I wouldn't be here with Elizabeth" he says squeezing my hand "oh nice to meet you Elizabeth, are you to dating?" she asks "yes, we are" I say smiling at logan "how nice" she says I look at my watch "oh my, logan we should hurry or your sister will have my head" I say trying to get away from them " it was nice to see you again" they say and we walk away "Greg, is in hell" logan says "what?" I asked confused "his face, was like he was in pain with her, but she's not going to let him go" he says laughing " you feel, fantastic dont you" I say laughing and as he puts his arm around my waist "yes I feel absolutely amazing, especially with you at my side" he says grinning from ear to ear. And I roll my eyes, we eat and laugh as usual and walk around some more it was nearly 12 when we left "tonight was really fun" I say when he pulls into my drive way "yeah it was.... I like you Elizabeth" he says and I so desperately wanted to say that was the understatement of the century. "I like you too" I say instead he leans close and we kiss, it was something different from any other kiss I had, it felt like it meant something, that it wasn't just for show like so many others I have had, I can feel him smiling as we kiss which makes me smile, I didn't want this to end. we eventually stop "good night" I say and reach for the door handle and he grabs my other hand "I was serious, when I said I liked you a lot" he says looking into my eyes and I knew it was true "so was I" I say with a flirtatious smile and get out and walk up to my house wave good bye and walk inside and watch him leave from behind a curtain. tonight was very interesting.
