MADISON
THE dress I'm wearing is incredibly uncomfortable, but it looks good on me, so that's why I'm wearing it. It's red and form fitting, and the neckline makes my breasts look bigger than they actually are. The only thing I don't like is how the dress ends on my thighs, showcasing my pale legs. If I wasn't so against tanning beds, I would definitely be making a couple trips to the tanning salon weekly.
Kaiden's not home, but he told me to be ready by eight. It's now nine. If he doesn't come in the next ten minutes, I'm taking this dress off and putting on my pajamas. The spaghetti straps are kind of digging into my shoulders anyway. Still, I'd be pissed considering how long it took me to do my makeup and hair. I just curled my hair in loose waves, but I worked hard on my makeup. At first I tried to do a natural look, but I wasn't pleased with how it turned out, so I took everything off and redid it with a smokey eye. It really makes my hazel eyes stand out.
I eventually take the black ankle strap heels I have on off and toss them on the floor. Maybe he decided to just go without me, but why would he do that? Marcos told him to bring me.
I'm a mix of anger and worry. I'm pissed at Kaiden for being late, but I'm starting to worry that maybe he's late because something happened to him. I've tried to call him and all my calls have gone straight to voicemail.
Finally, I grab my phone and dial Kassie's number. If Kaiden went to the party without me, she'll be able to tell me if he's there.
She answers on the third ring. "Hey! Where are you and Kaiden? I thought you were coming."
Well, that answers my question.
I decide not to inform her that Kaiden's not here and I have no clue where he is, instead I say we're on our way.
"Okay, I'll see you when you get here!" She says over the loud music in the background and I end the call. If Kaiden's not there, then where is he?

An hour later, Kaiden comes sauntering through the door. He doesn't even acknowledge that I'm on the couch, he just takes his jacket off and tosses it on the counter, along with his keys.
"Where have you been?" I stand up and cross my arms. We're nearly two hours late.
He spins around, finally noticing me, and his eyes widen before they darken. "Fuck, what are you wearing?" I hear him say lowly.
"I'm wearing my outfit for the party we're supposed to go to." I snap.
"Well, you're not wearing that." He orders and turns on his heel to head for his bedroom. I follow after him, pissed off that he's late and telling me what I can and can't wear.
"Who do you think you are? My father?" I shout while he searched through his closet for something to wear. I don't know why he needs to change. The outfit he has on is fine.
"No, but you're not wearing that around a bunch of assholes and perverts. They'd have a field day eye-fucking you." He snarls and pulls his shirt over his head, then quickly replaces it with a long-sleeved grey shirt.
I roll my eyes. I guess he does have a point, but I liked this dress. It made me feel confident. "Fine, daddy. I'll go change." I say just to be a smartass.
Kaiden glares at me, something mischievous glinting in his eyes. "Call me that again and watch what happens."
Deciding not to test him, I grab my bag and search for something else to wear. I don't have that many options, so I end up changing into a pair of high-waisted ripped black skinny jeans and a light purple sweater. I keep the heels I'd originally planned to wear and put those on.
