Perfect For Me - Chapter 4 Dress

Realizing that I got in on the wrong side of the car I slipped back out and entered the driver’s side. Once in the driver’s seat, I took off to LeeHwa. Once there, there was a big sign that had “LeeHwa” on the sign. There stood Eva and my other friend Ericka with that they both ran up to me once I exited the car. One moment I was standing on the ground the next I am being crushed by my best friends on the ground. Wheezing I patted their backs while trying to say, “Get off, you guys are a little heavy for me.” Sitting up Ericka made a face as if she had been offended and said, “Mahogany!” Looking at Ericka I said, “Do you even know what that means?” Reverting back to her joyful expression Ericka replied with a stupid face saying, “Nope, I just wanted to say that.” Shaking my head I looked at Eva who was still lying on me and said, “Lazy head… Oi… Get up.” Looking disappointed almost like a child who had to clean its room she dramatically stood up and helped both Ericka and me off the ground. Standing up once more I looked at them and wondered why there were here so I asked, “How did you know I was coming here?” Snickering Ericka and Eva looked at me and said, “We knew you would be here. Common who do you think we are. We all have known each other since high school you are practically an open book when it comes to us.” Sighing I let it go and started to walk inside the building. Looking back I decided to be my snarky self, “You guys are still short.” Frustrated that I pulled the card and said the same thing that I have always done since high school. They both made faces at me as soon as I made my comment. Walking inside There were row upon row of dresses. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of dresses. Looking around I saw a dress that caught my eye.

My friends saw me looking at the dress with wonder. With that, they ran up to one of the female workers and said something to her. With that, she walked towards me with a smile and asked, “Would you like to try on the dress?” To shy to say I would like to do that I nodded my head. Knowing that I wanted to try it on the woman asked for help from other co-workers and they go the dress down and put it in the dressing room. With that, I was practically dragged into the dressing room and I won’t say what happened after. Stepping out of the dressing room I felt violated. I felt like the wolverine when He was washed with those scrubs and yelled at in a different language. It was definitely the opposite of comfortable. Seeing me in the dress my friends both shrieked with excitement practically making me deaf. With that, I realized those shrieks sounded like those from the TV show “Friends”. I watch too many movies and shows. With that, my friends sped walked towards me and said, “The dress suits you perfectly.” Looking down I felt like as if the dress didn’t suit me because it was too perfect for the wedding but not right for me. Sighing my friends knew that I was dissing myself. Shaking their heads they walked towards me and turned me to the mirror.

There I stood in a dress that went past my feet the rim was covered in a pale blue and slowly fades out into a snowy white. The shape of the dress is that of a mermaid dress with a single strap. The size fit me just right to hug my curves in the right way. My brown hair flowed down my back and my eyes seemed to pop with more blue than grey this time making my eyes seem to glow. With that, I knew that that was the right dress. Turning around I looked at my friends and said, “You were right. This is perfect.” With that, my friends released the breath that they were holding in anticipation of my opinion. With that, I looked at the workers and said with determination, “I would like to purchase this dress.” Although I know the wedding is not until the end of March 29th and it is February 16th I knew that the dress was perfect. Looking at the price I thought “Perfectly expensive!” With that, I sighed at the price and paid $1,955 for the dress. I tried not to regret the amount I spent on the dress and left with it in a Black fabric bag while my friends helped me carry it to my car. With it in the car, I leaned on my friends and dramatically said, “Carry me…” With that Eva tried to support me and gave up nearly making me fall to the ground and Ericka made sure I didn’t fall. With that, we laughed and said our goodbyes.

Seeing my friends leave I felt like as if things were going in the right direction for me. I felt like as if I could finally be proud of myself. Skipping around my car I sat down in the driver’s seat and headed home. It took a while until I got home with that I pulled into my usual parking spot. Walking around I grabbed the wedding dress and headed inside. I tried to open the door multiple times I gave up and knocked on the door. With that, I saw Nick peek his head out the door and as soon as he saw me he opened the door. Stepping inside I closed the door with my foot. With a deep breath, I headed towards the spare room. With that, I entered the room and hung up my dress in the in-wall closet. Once I put away the dress I ran at Nick and hugged him with all my might. Which wasn’t much might I add. Spinning me around in circles Nick sat me down after a while and kissed my forehead. I was so happy at that moment I grasped at his hands.
