“Thank you, Mayson. I’m really looking forward to it. Just wish I enjoyed shopping as much as I do weddings,” she said.
I had my doubts about Crystal, but that somehow didn’t stand in the way of my attraction to her. So, for now, I would continue lying to myself that the sudden invitation was just so I could keep an eye on her and not for the fact that she was easy on the eyes.
I could only imagine how painful the dress shopping was going to be. The only positive was getting to see Crystal in them all.
Slipping my hand to the curve of her back I guided us to the living room to join the others. But what I really wanted was to stay right here, just the two of us.
Grandmother, are you sure you didn’t dream about me? Because this woman is dangerous, but in all the right ways.
If this is how I think with just a brief touch, I’m fucked if we ever kiss.
CHAPTER 7
Crystal
“I’m not sure about this one. It’s a little...tight,” I said, looking in the mirror.
The saleswoman replied, “I can see if we have it in one size up.”
“I think it fits you perfectly,” Mayson said from his seat.
I turned around to face him. “You’re just saying that because you’re tired of watching me try one dress after another.”
“Not at all. I would actually say this has been...”
“Boring?” I finished.
He grinned. “I was going to say, educational. Never knew that there were so many different terms for what looked like the same style of dress.”
And you wish you never had to learn.
“Do you really think this dress fits me right?” I asked. I’d much rather have had Kathy here who I knew would give me her honest opinion, but all I had was Mayson. The saleswoman was out for one thing. Making a sale.
“I would say it’s between this one andthe red one you tried on earlier,” he replied.
“Red? Don’t you think that’s a bit...bold for a wedding?”
He shrugged. “Not to be mean, the yellow and black one made me think of killer bees. I’m sure that isn’t the look you were going for.”
My mouth gaped open. “Goodness, no.” So, he remembered two of them. Now for the rest. “How about the others?”
“Pink also was good, but it was way too baggy. Made you look like you’re trying to hide that figure of yours. The blue was...okay, besides being too long, nothing stands out about it. White, well, even I know you don’t wear white to a wedding, and I’ve never actually been to one.”
I was more than impressed. He may have looked as though he’d been paying attention to his phone, but he definitely was looking at me.
“Nothing else stood out?” I asked.
“There was the purple, but you don’t strike me as a polka dot kind of person.”
“I’m not. I tried telling her that, but she insisted I try it on,” I sighed.
“And the green one, looked good, but I could tell by your eyes, you hated it,” he stated.
“That’s a story for another day,” I said.
“Which one is it going to be? The red or the black?” he asked.
I turned and looked at myself in the mirror. Mayson said it wasn’t too tight, but it really hugged me and accentuated my curves even more.Maybe that’s what you like about it.He nailed it regarding the others, so my choice was easy. The red strapless. It had a heart-shaped bodice with awide pleated skirt that ended just below the knee. The perfect combination of sexy and elegant.
