Buried trust

Chapter 42

The last week I've been planning everything for the party I'm going to give. George and I have spent and planned together almost every day. Luke was also there a lot, but not always. They have invited other vampires. I want the town to have a ball where every supernatural feels safe and comfortable again. We posted the invitations two days ago and the party is tomorrow. The dress code is white tie, which means big ball gowns for the girls and men in suits. I'm really looking forward to it. I am also nervous that we are going to commemorate many people. I made this party so that we are going to commemorate people who were killed by Christopher but also we are going to celebrate the fact that he is dead. I also sent an invitation to the wolves. I hope they come and that we can all have fun. I get up from my chair and walk to my room. I check my closet to see if I have anything fun for the party, but nothing is really dress code worthy. I pick up my phone and call Natalie. "Yes with Natalie." I hear her say. "Hey, Nat. I found out that I don't really have a nice dress for the party. Shall we go to a good store together? " I ask. I hear Natalie has doubts about her answer. It will be strange for her to be with vampires and werewolves but I know she would hold herself strong. "Yeah ok. But Alex also has to come along. " She says eventually. "Okay, I'll send her a message," I say and we agree a time. I hang up and put my phone away. I have no idea how I'm going to pay for that dress. I can ask Luke. No, I'll just ask my father. I walk downstairs and in the meantime, I send the message to Alex. I walk to the kitchen and open the fridge for a bottle of water. I get a shock when I close the fridge. George is by the kitchen island. A big smile on his face. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "Well, you have to have another dress and I have to have another suit. I thought we could work together. " George says. "Oh, I just agreed with Natalie and Alex to get a dress together." "Then I'll go with you." "Okay, but I still have to ask my father for some money." I walk to the living room but George takes my arm and I cannot walk any further. "What?" I say and I try to shake free from his grip. "I will pay. I have enough anyway. " George says and he smiles at me. His blue-green eyes shine. "Okay," I say and I laugh a little. "Do you know how to dance?" Ask George. "A little?" I say questioningly. Before I know it George takes my hand and I pirouette towards him. I smile and grab him so we can dance. We dance around the kitchen. It is far too small space, but we still manage to dance. George bends me over his arm and I throw my head back. My hair is almost touching the ground. I smile and lookup. George's face is very close to mine. I straighten up and check the clock. "Time to pick up the girls," I say and I get my car keys. We walk to my car and get in.

We arrived at the location and the store is huge. The top floor is for the men, so I'm sending George there. Alex immediately starts going through everything. I soon notice that she takes the yellow dresses to check out. I'll keep my options open for a while. I don't want the same colors as Natalie and Alex, and I don't want red like last time either. I choose a very nice dark blue one but it looks a bit like the previous red one. Natalie also looks at a dark blue. It's a little more a-line than a ball gown. It is beautiful. The bodice is nicely decorated and some flowers continue on the skirt. Natalie takes it from the rack and continues to search. I look at Alex and see that she already has an employee behind her with a rack. Almost only yellow dresses are on the rack. Also, some orange but that was the color variation. Well, then I know which colors I cannot choose. I'm going to check out the pink and green dresses. All of them are a bit boring. In the corner of my eye, I see a beautiful dress. I doubt if I would fit it. Natalie takes my hand and nods. "It's beautiful!" She says. I decide to get him anyway. I now have three dresses hanging on my rack. There are two others in it, but they are Natalie her dresses. "Time to try them on," I say and Alex looks back. "Already?" She asks. I smile and look at her crowded rack. We all walk to the fitting rooms and the employees help with the dresses. I walk out of the fitting room and look at the green dress I'm wearing. I don't know, the dress is too boring and not really ball-worthy. Natalie comes out of the fitting room wearing their dark blue dress she grabbed first. It looks great on her. Alex also finally stumbles out of her fitting room. The mermaid dress she is wearing is not really handy. Alex missteps and she falls to the floor. "Okay, not this one." She says. Oh, and Maddie, that's a no. Nat, yes. " She says before disappearing back into a fitting room. Natalie and I also go into the fitting room again. I really want to try on the dress that I don't really dare to wear. I tell the woman I want to try on the dress and she nods. "Very good choice." She says and she winks. I laugh a little uncomfortably. I can already hear one of the fitting rooms reopen. I am nervous to show the dress. I also open the curtain in front of my fitting room and I see Alex's mouth drop open. "Oh my gosh." Is all she can say. Natalie sticks her head out of the fitting room and also looks at the dress with wide eyes. I spin around and the dress is beautiful. I look in the mirror and almost cry so beautifully. The light purple dress reminds me of Olivia's dress at the gala with Luke. The bodice is a sweetheart body and is beautifully decorated with lace, butterflies, and flowers. The decorations continue a bit on the skirt. The bottom of the skirt also has flowers, lace, and butterflies. The dress also has a bit of a train. It is very big but it is beautiful. I look in the mirror again and see George standing behind me. I turn around. "Hey, and what do you think?" I ask. "You are beautiful, I mean the dress is beautiful," George says and he himself has a suit in his hands. I look in the mirror one more time. I'm sure this is the dress.
