Greyson (Lightening Series Book One)

Chapter Sixteen

I was currently standing on a pedestal in this beautiful and elegant clothing boutique. The internal design theme was white and champagne, antique beams stretched across the ceiling above my head with dazzling chandeliers that sparkled under the spotlights.

In front of me was a floor to ceiling mirror providing a lengthy view of the background behind me, I looked to Benny and smiled. He was currently perched on a cream velvet chair, grinning like a child at Christmas.

"If I wasn't gay Princess.." He sighed dramatically making me let out a small laugh.

I was currently standing in a cobalt blue floor length dress. A deep cut in the strapless neckline set my chest on display in a teasing manner. The top half of the dress fitted my body like a glove, a thin glistening band circled my waist before the dress flowed gracefully to the floor. A slit going up past my left thigh finished the dress off and with a set of strappy silver heels, I was besotted.

What would I use this dress for? I have no idea. My excuse at the moment was that it would be an emergency dress, last minute invitation and my dress is sorted.

"I don't want to take it off." I half whined swishing the material side to side while admiring its beauty in the mirror.

"Well keep it on and wear it to the show." Benny suggested, "Certain people might not be happy with the other dress anyways." He shrugged causing me to frown as I turned to him.

"Who?" I asked with a raised brow.

"Nevermind." He smiled.

The other dress that I decided to bravely treat myself too was another stunning dress. It was the same colour as sunshine, yellow and bright. I'm not going to lie, I have never worn a yellow dress but when I slipped it onto my body, the colour made my skin and eyes pop.

It wasn't an overly revealing dress, it was a mini dress style so it was understandably short. It had thin spaghetti straps and due to the design being a wrap style, the material tied in a ribbon at my waist.

"I'm wearing the yellow one tonight and I'll save this for something else." I smiled at Benny who nodded his head in agreement.

"You finished then? The show starts in three hours." Benny declared looking at the flashy watch on his wrist.

"I'm finished." I nodded taking one last look in the mirror.

On the way to the show, we quickly stopped off by my apartment so I could quickly get ready for heading to the show with Benny. I had a quick shower and brushed my teeth before quickly applying light makeup to my face. I let my long brown curls hang free and using my curling iron, I quickly added a few more for volume.

I spritz myself with some perfume, slipped into my gorgeous new dress and strapped up my gold heels which I paired with a gold sparkly purse. I left my diamond studs in my ears and as simple as that, I was done.

Benny had arranged for us to be picked up from my apartment and taken straight to the show. As we drove towards the back entrance of the venue, we only had two hours to spare and fans were gathering in a storm to get inside.

"Let's go Princess." Benny smiled as he opened my door for me, extending a hand like the gentleman he is and placing it in his arm as he walked beside me into the building.

We walked down a few corridors behind security as Benny made room for some small talk, the closer we got to the changing areas the more the excitement in his voice became evident.

"Fucking hell Johnny, how much shit do you spray on you?" Benny whined the moment we opened the door to the massive changing area. "I think I swallowed the entire fucking bottle when I walked in the door." Benny added pretending to have a choking fit.
