I ran into my apartment and bumped straight into Louise in the hallway. I banged my head on Louise's shoulder and moaned in pain.

"Woah chummy are you ok?" Louise asked.

"Yeah, hurry up we need to go shopping, i have my date with Alfie tonight"

Louise ran to her room to get her favourite black ankle boots. She came out only seconds later with a jacket in one hand and her phone in the other. She signalled to me that she was ready and we rushed out as quickly as i rushed in just minutes before.

We rang a taxi company and a classic black cab turned up 5 minutes later in front of our apartment. We quickly hopped in, telling the driver the address for the nearest shopping centre and speeding off down the road. I couldn't contain my excitement, i was going to buy the perfect outfit for the perfect night.

We arrived in no time, i took out a note from my purse and paid the driver. Once out of the taxi, i pulled Louise into the giant building that contained hundreds of amazing shops. We looked around several shops including Topshop, Miss Selfridge and River Island before finding our way into a small dress shop.

Every dress i saw took my breath away, they were so beautiful. I could have bought every item in that store if i had the money. For now i had to settle for buying just that one perfect dress for tonight.

I slowly walked around every clothes rack until i spotted a dress right at the back of the store. It was a black floor length dress with small shear panels at the bottom that showed my shoes and a bit of my legs. The neck wasn't too low and there was some beautiful detailing at each side.

"Chummy, that's the dress" i said in a hypnotic state.

"Quick, grab it before someone else does"

I ran towards the dress, picked it up and hurried towards the changing rooms. I quickly found an empty cubicle and undressed. I stepped into the dress, pulling it over my hips and carefully placing my arms through the arm holes. I opened the curtain and walked into the waiting area in the changing room where Louise was sat. She was checking her phone but immediately looked up as soon as she heard me clear my throat. Her mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Stunning, absolutely stunning" she spoke.

"Do you really think so?"

"Yeah, that is THE dress"

I went back into the cubicle and got changed back into my original clothes. I placed the dress back on the hanger and made my way towards the till. The women who served me was really lovely and said how she actually loved that dress herself. I paid and left the shop, joining Louise once again and heading home.

We took another taxi back to the apartment. It didn't take long at all. I just couldn't wait to see Alfie's face when he saw me in the dress.
