Marina pulls into the mall's parking lot and says, "There's a store in here that I love to shop at. Roddy knows how much I love to shop here and he's bought me so many gift cards and everything. The dresses are so cute and they're perfect for the party that AEW is holding."

I smile and say, "I have an idea of what kind of dress I want too but I want to make sure they have something like it."

We both get out of the car and Marina says, "If it's what you're thinking then I think they have something similar. Come on, let's head in."

I hook my arm with Marina's and we walk into the mall.

As soon as we walk in, I get a few looks. That's when I realize I'm in one of Adam's shirts and his sweatpants with my sneakers on.

We walk past three people and I hear the one girl say, "I think that they're actually together."

My heart rate picks up a bit hearing that. Marina looks over at me and she says loud enough to the small group to hear, "It was nice of Adam to lend you some of his clothes after he spilled his coffee on you at breakfast this morning."

Thank God for Marina. I laugh and say, "Right? It's the least he could have done."

The small group walks away quickly and we walk into the store.

The little shop is full of cute clothes. They have prom dresses, party dresses, casual dresses. They even have rompers and long dress shirts. They sell shoes, purses, and jewelry.

"Wow," I say, looking around.

Marina laughs and we walk to the party dress section.

I look around until I find a pretty teal blue dress. I hold it up to Marina and she nods, saying, "Go try it on."

I smile and head back to the fitting rooms. I close the door and get out of Adam's clothes. I slip the dress on then look at myself in the full length mirror.

The dress is a very pretty teal blue color that shimmers. The fabric is also holographic. The deep v-neck shows off my cleavage and pushes my boobs up a little bit. There is basically no back to the dress so almost my entire back is exposed. The straps are so thin that they're barely visible. The dress is very short, just barely covering my butt, and is tight, hugging every dip and curve of my body.

I just know that this is the dress I'm buying today.

I leave the small room and find Marina standing outside. She found a form fitting dress as well. It's silver and strapless. She looks over at me and she says, "Okay, damn. Who told you that you could look that good?"

I laugh and say, "I could say the same about you."

Marina smiles and says, "I was about to FaceTime Roddy to see what his opinion was on my dress. Were you going to FaceTime Austin?" She uses his legal name in case anyone is around. Everyone knows Adam as Adam. Most wrestling fans don't address him or know him by his legal name.

I shake my head in response and say, "I was going to keep it a surprise."

"We can get Roddy's opinion on both our dresses," Marina says. "Him and Austin think alike so you'll know what his reaction will be once we get Roddy's."

I laugh and nod.

Marina pulls out her phone and we both stand in the mirror in the fitting room area. She FaceTimes Roderick and points the camera at the mirror. He picks up and says, "Hel-oh. Damn baby."

Marina laughs softly and says, "Angelina and I wanted a guy's opinion on our outfits for the party on Sunday. She wanted to keep hers a secret from Austin."
