By My Side(Book 2 to The Lynchs)

Chapter 7

Jasmine P.O.V

I step out the closet wearing a red dress that reached my mid-thigh to display to Ross who sat on the foot of the bed staring at me with a expressionless face. His fingers curled around his chin and his mouth pouted as if he was trying to think or look as a terrible thinker. But either way I knew his eyes were running up and down my body scanning every curve making sure that what ever dress I had on made me look 'perfect'.

This was my third dress trying on for him but for me I was beyond tired and exhausted from trying on dresses. Constantly having to take them off and putting a new one on. But here I stood wearing a red dress that I wore to the lynchs Christmas party a few weeks ago. Even though I found myself wearing this dress all the time, I could never get tired of it since it was just so soft and comfortable to wear.

"I mean its a nice dress but the place I have plan for us to dine at is quite fancy" Ross smirks as I groan knowing that I am getting exhausted from trying on dresses. "I love you Ross and all but right now I hate you" I groan as I step back into the closet.

I hear him chuckle making me grin then I hear "I love you too sweetie" making me burst out in a laugh. After that I look through some of my dresses seeing ones that I wear a lot or ones I've bought but never worn and some that I never knew I owned.

I take off the red dress hanging it back on its hanger then my eyes caught a blue material in the back of my closet. I quickly grab it looking at the dress that reached my knees and had jewels on the bust area. So I put it on then went out to Ross again to show him the dress that I slowly fell in love with.

The light baby blue remind me of the sky on a summer's day and even though I was 20 I felt like I was 18 again. Wearing a simple but yet soft material felt like a complete outfit for me and who knows how long this dress has been in my closet.

"I dont like it" Ross words break through my mind and I felt my eyes go wide at his words. I look at him seeing that his face showed no grin, no smile or even a crack on his lips. His arms crossed on his chest slowly shaking his head in disagreement. He was serious about his choice and I really liked the dress.

"Okay" was all that came out my mouth before I go back into my closet taking off the blue dress quickly. It was ruffled up on the corner in front of the mirror then my eyes slowly look at my body's reflection. Thin legs that slowly go up to wide hips, then my waist which my hands go to touch. I turn to the side to see that my stomach has expanded making it look bigger.

Then with that small piece of information I quickly examine my whole body if anything else has gotten bigger other then my stomach. My hips are wider, my thighs are bigger even my bust got a tad bigger but I guess its not all a minus, there was one plus.

"What happen to you Jasmine?" I said into the full length mirror at how my face has changed, round cheeks and my eyes looked so tired and lifeless. Next thing I know I am sitting on the floor looking into the mirror in my underwear closely examining my face.

My guess was that I was there for a while since what felt like seconds a warm figure wrapped itself around my cold body. I could tell by the black sweatpants wrapped around my kegs and the red shirt touching my back who it was. I didn't want to look up not because of me only being in my undergarments but the fact that he probably knew the reason why I was in here for so long.

I was too busy staring at my body and all its flaws that I forgot about the world around me. I stared at my stomach poking out, my thighs bigger and just how much I could pinch the skin. Why now was my mind haunted with these issues of how my body looked? Why did all of a sudden did I wish I had a model's body, thigh gap, slim waist, just a small body with some assets.
