The Kissing Booth Why Now?

72. THE GIRLS *

Becs chose the same dress in green while mine was red. My mom kept saying that just because Noah preferred me in Blue did not mean I had to wear Blue all the time. I knew that she was doing this to tease Noah. "Mom he is going to freak." "Yeah, well he needs to get over himself. He wants you to trust him but he doesn't trust you." I giggle "mom he does. He doesn't trust other guys. He hates them looking at me even though I wear his ring." "Yeah, but this is going to be fun." I shook my head "well at least no one else will see me." She smirked, "if that is what you want to believe." I spun and looked at her and she just laughed as she paid for all our dresses. June stood back knowing there was no point in arguing with my mom while Mrs. Lawson was at the register "please Mary let me pay for our dresses." "No, this is my treat." She glanced over at me "the surprise I have for Elle is the reason I am buying these dresses." She then leaned in and whispered something in her ear and Mrs. Lawson started laughing "oh, this will be fun." I shook my head "you three are comedians. What are Becs and I going to do with you three?"

They just laughed as we headed out and down the way to a lingerie boutique. I looked at my mom "really?" "Well if you feel beautiful from the bottom out you will stand proud." I shook my head as my mom started pulling out sets for me to try on. All in red of course so it matched my dress. Little did I know that she also bought several in other colors. The next place we hit was the party supply store and my mom and June had me getting everything we needed for Thanksgiving dinner and then sent Becs and me outside to wait for them. I looked at Becs "those three are so up to something." "Yeah, and we are going to have to try and get it out of them." "Hey, gorgeous how about we go grab a bite to eat." I look at the guy and glare "not interested." I started having a funny feeling about the guy since he moved in closer and another guy appeared. I instantly hit the panic button on my ring "look leave us alone." "Not going to happen. You two are gorgeous we just want to take you out to lunch." "Sorry I am engaged." "Stop lying you little slut. I doubt your fiancee would have allowed that video of you to be put online." He reached for me again and I hauled off and slapped him.

Before I knew what was happening he grabbed me "you shouldn't have done that. I was going to be nice but now...you don't get lunch just us fucking you both till we have our fill." I try to hit him again only to have him glare at me "you're going to pay for that." His arm raised up and I was pulled out of his arms at the same time he was pulled off of me. I knew instantly that I was in Lee's arms and I turn to cling to him as I look over at Becs and see that she is being held by her dad. I look at the guys and notice that they are being held down by Mathew and Officer Dawson" Becs was shaking "how did you know papa bear?" "Mathew." I smiled as Mathew walked up to me "good job baby girl." I smiled at him "I knew you all would still want me to wear the camera and..." "I got it, baby girl." He hugged me once Lee let me go and before I could go back to Lee my dad has pulled me up against him I am so proud of you. I know you hate wearing that surveillance equipment but thank you for understanding it is to protect you." I smile up at him "I know dad and if it makes all the important men in my life relax I will accept this new protection."

He finally let me go and I cuddled into Lee's side "you did good Twin. My big bro will be so proud of you." "I hope so. I also hope he doesn't lose it when he finds out about those pricks." "Yeah, me too. I hate that it is my fault." "We will get through this Lee." He smiled at me "yes we will." The good thing was that Becs knew about Mr. Blaine so she did not question the video camera and listening devices I was wearing. It didn't take us long to head to the diner and order our food. I explained in detail what happened when we walked out of the party store. We also talked in detail about what we were going to be doing the rest of the week leading up to Thursday. I kept smiling thinking that tomorrow Noah would be home. I was smiling thinking of being able to be in his arms soon. Lee leaned over "thinking of my big bro?" "Yes. I can't wait to see him tomorrow." "I bet." He wiggled his eyebrows at me and I busted up laughing "silly we are not doing that until after we are married." "Good I do not need to think of you and my bro doing the horizontal mambo." We soon hear "I have to agree with you there Lee. I do not need to think about my princess...nope not happening? What about you Mathew?" "My son better keeps his body parts to himself or he may be missing something he loves."

Everyone was laughing and it wasn't long before we hear next to us "I know it is not Lilly's but I hope you like mine." We all turn and Charlie is standing there giving Lee a slice of chocolate silk pie. Lee glared at him "you too." He nods as we all busted up laughing. "Ah, poor Lee." He shook his head "so not fair. You prank me using Lilly and now I will never live it down." He sat there pouting while eating his pie and I just smirked boy is Lee in for a huge surprise when the next prank appears. Once our deserts were finished we separated from the men and headed to the spa. My mom decided that we all needed to get full spa treatments and that included makeovers. I was given a deep massage that put me to sleep. While I was sleeping they started on my facial and I woke up with a mask on that made me feel like my face was frozen in place. Once they removed the mask my skin was glowing and it looked as if I had no imperfections on my skin. Next came our hair where I was given a deep penetrating condition that made my hair look glossy, bouncy, and full of life. My mom told them to give me caramel highlights and to give my hair a trim. I was not prepared for how I looked once they were done with my hair and makeup. Yep, mom had them do my makeup so we would look good when we all went out later that night.

I was not crazy about the idea but mothers know best at least that is what all the mom's on the trip said. We found ourselves at a boutique where June bought all of us dresses for the night. This part drove me crazy. They blindfolded me and would give me dresses to try on helping me into them and out again. I had on this dress that felt like it was too tight, really low cut, and a little above mid-thigh. Not to mention the back was bare. I kept telling them that I knew Noah, my dad and Mathew would hate the dress but they told me to hush. Even though they couldn't see my eyes I glared at them hoping the rest of my facial expressions would let them know I was not happy at all. I realized later they did the same to each other and Becs. Once they were done and paid for our outfits I complained "how are you all paying for dresses you can't see." Our mom's laughed "easy sweety we took off our blindfolds. The agreement was that we had to wear what the other two chose with no interference. So, once June and Ellie picked my dress I pulled off the blindfold and the same went for them." I shook my head "now can we see?"

I could feel her smirk as she said "yes." Pulling off my blindfold I saw that my suspicions were not correct. The dress was A-line, scoop neck, with a high low hemline, it was made out of chiffon with 1/2 sleeves, the back was exposed but only part of it and it lined so the hemline even though hit me mid-thigh and was tight the overlay flowed when I moved. I glared at my mom, June, and Mrs. Lawson in front of me. "How did you all get me to believe that this dress was backless, low cut in the front, and super short all the way around." My mom laughed "well we didn't tie up the back until right before you were told to remove your blindfold so you would be concentrating on whether or not Noah was going to kill us and not how the dress felt. As for the plunging neckline, I don't know you did that all yourself. Especially since it is a square cut neckline." "Hello, the length." June laughed I held up the back and made sure the hemline skimmed where we wanted you to believe the length was." "You two are terrible." Yes, we are."

"Fine, where are we going anyway?" "Out." I glared at our moms and made my way to the car with the damn heals they all insisted on me wearing. The best part was they were not expensive ass heals that cost more than my whole wardrobe. When we got into the car my mom made me and Becs put on blindfolds telling us that this was a surprise. I was not happy because no telling what these crazy women are up to and I didn't trust them as far as I could throw them. As we drove around our moms were having a blast teasing Becs and myself about how we didn't know where we were going or what we were going to be doing the rest of the night. What freaked me out was when our moms said we were doing harmless flirting. I gasped "hell no I am engaged to Noah I do not need to flirt with any other guy." "All you will be doing is dancing. He might even buy you a drink Virgin of course because you girls are not allowed alcohol." "Mom please this is not funny." "Well you should think of Becs there she needs a man." "Yeah, but I DO NOT NEED A MAN." "Oh, that is too bad. I guess I will have to tell my son you don't need a man."

I am going to kill all of them. "THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT." You three are not funny." Once the car stops I am helped out of the car by none other than my mom and I hear Becs giggling "what is so funny Becs?" "Nothing I just find it exciting that I can't see where we are going and what we are doing." "Well, I don't find it funny or exciting." "So, Elle sweetie are you still sure you don't need a man." "Mom you know the only man I need is Noah. I do not want to flirt with anyone innocent or not. I am sorry Becs but you are on your own." "Elle I didn't hear you." I groan "I SAID THE ONLY MAN I NEED IS NOAH XAVIER FLYNN." I feel a pair of lips brush along my jawline to my ear and arms wrap around my waist. Cologne surrounds me and I soon feel the breath of...
