'What about this one?' Sam pulls out a black velvet embroidered dress which I am pretty sure is the twelfth dress at least. I try on the dress and look at myself in the mirror for what feels like the millionth time. To be honest, I have tried so many clothes in the past few hours I am not entirely sure what looks good at the moment. 'Is there a bathroom here by any chance?' I ask her, putting back my original outfit as quickly as possible. 'Yeah, just turn left, keep going forward until you meet a set of stairs, go up them and turn right. Then keep walking until you reach the third door on your left.' I nod when in reality I am totally confused.
I should probably just ask her but my social awkwardness has already started to overwhelm me. So I just try and walk in the direction she said. Right, stairs this is a good sign. I turn and continue walking. 'Why can't I tell her?' A voice I recognize shouts from a glass window just ahead on the left. 'Have you been drinking? I am not going to put up with your drunken behavior right now!' An older woman remarks back with a very posh accent. Carefully I shuffle to the edge of the window, making sure I am not seen and I see Matthew. Opposite to him are a man and woman who are clearly upper class.
'Stop changing the subject!' He hits a vase off the table. Jesus Christ! What the hell is going on? 'You know for a fact that this has nothing to do with my drinking. Sam has a right to know!' What doesn't she know? Oh crap, Matthew is coming towards the door. What do I do? There's a door further up so I bolt inside and the sound of his stamping echoes around the warehouse. Wait a minute where am I? I turn around and realise I am in a bathroom. That was lucky. I wonder what that was all about, it must have been important. Should I investigate? That sounds a bit much. I'll ask Matthew about it if I see his incredibly attractive figure. Damn it! Stop, you have enough drama in your life, girl.
