“Unless you have something else more important you’d rather be doing?” She placed both hands on her hips, smiling smugly at me. Kind but matter of factly. Trini snatched my plate and my wine glass.
“Nope, now is good.”
I glared at her and she flicked her wrist. “Bitch go.”
I followed Addison into the main suite where there were two metal racks. Each with three Kameron Tyler labeled garment bags. My eyes bounced between the racks then landed on her.
“Where should I start?”
“That’s up to you. I’m just here to assist.”
That’s not exactly assisting now is it?
But then I thought of something. “Has he seen the dresses?”
“Yes, that was one of his demands. He wanted to hand pick each one. We started with twenty and got the number down to six. His top six.”
“Which one was his favorite?”
“That one?” She pointed to the last garment bag on the second rack.
“Are you sure?”
“Very.”
“Then that’s the one I want.”
“You haven’t seen it.” She arched a brow with that smug look again.
“If it’s his favorite. Then that’s the one I want.”
“Okay then. But I think you should at least try it on.”
I wanted to try it on, so I had no complaints there. “What about size?”
“You’re a dancer. Your measurements weren’t hard to find. A few phone calls got me what I needed. I picked samples that would work best for your build and here we are. Now undress and I’ll get the dress ready and help you into it.”
By the time I had it on and stood in the full length mirror admiring myself I was instantly in love and I think I fell a little harder for Elias. He’d picked this for me and it was exquisite and rare.
Heat crawled up my neck reminding me of how he said those words to me.
Addison began talking and I stared at my reflection while she fussed over different details of the dress, delicately brushing her fingers over it.
“Handblown crystal beads and pearls. The choker is made from pearls and white beads sitting high for dramatic effect. You’re a dancer so I’m sure you appreciate that.” She winked at me through the mirror and kept going. “The choker finishes off with elegant off-shoulder pearl sleeves. The base fabric is imported white silk, lined with more crystal beads, pearls.Hand-beaded. The pearls on the shoulders are delicate and can break easily so be careful. It’s probably best if you skip wearing anything under it. The garment is see-through but there’s nude underlining so no one gets any sneak peeks.”
She paused and placed her hands on my arms from behind me. “You look amazing. I was torn between this one and another but seeing you in it….” Her smile expanded. “This is it. This is the one.”
“It is,” I said quietly.
“Now go. As much as I’m sure you appreciate my opinion, I’m sure hers will matter so much more.”
She pointed to the living room and I rolled my shoulders back and carefully lifted the dress so I didn’t snag or trip on it. There wasn’t exactly a train but it pooled at my feet a little wider than the formfitting body.
When I made it back to the living room, Trini’s back was to me while she refilled her plate. I remained quiet and still but the minute she turned to me, her eyes went wide.
“Bitch you better wear that dress,” she yelled very animatedly to the point where all I could do was throw my head back and laugh. I extended my arms out beside me and turned slowly.
When my eyes met hers again I asked. “You like it?”
