I’d roll my eyes but I know he’ll just say something about it so instead I ignore him. “Ready, Len?”
“She got the money, now she’s done with me.” Landon drops his arm from around Lennox and walks backwards towards the door.
“Until I need more for my hair and nails on Saturday morning.” I cross my arms over my chest and smirk. Beat him at his own game. “Or else you could find someone else to ask?”
His eyes narrow before he lets out a snide laugh. “I won’t break our agreement. Besides, there’s no one else I want to ask. See you later, girls.”
After he leaves, I look at Lennox who’s standing there laughing her ass off. “Oh shit girl, you’re in trouble.”
“What? I am not.”
“Oh yes you are. I know flirting when I see it. Now let’s go spend the man’s money.”
“Ev! There’s so many to choose from!” Len looks around like a kid in a toy store, eyes wide and a big smile.
This department store doesn’t miss the mark, with rows and rows of dresses. There’s every color and style you could imagine from semi formal to over the top.
“What were you thinking?”
I run my fingers over the dresses. “Not too long or poufy, definitely not a ball gown.”
“How about a cute little black dress? Every girl should own one. And then we can go hard with the accessories and make a statement.”
“Hmm, that’s not a bad idea. Bare legs or nylons?”
“I’d say bare legs. We could also look for a longer dress with a slit down the side.” Len moves through a row, shaking her head at most of them. She pulls out a black dress that’s floor length with a high side slit, a sweetheart cut top, tapered waist, and spaghetti straps. “Ev, this is perfect.”
“I don’t know. It looks a little low cut.”
“Girl, when you got the goods, you need to show em’ off.”
“What goods?” I laugh.
“I know you’ve got some cleavage in there. We just need a little help in the form of a good push up bra.”
“Let’s pick out a few more dresses to try on too.” I hold up a shorter one, midnight blue in color, with a strapless top.
“I like.” She shows me another one, a long red dress, with an empire waist and off the shoulder straps. “This one, too.”
I nod and we take the three dresses to the fitting room. I try on the red one first.
“Hmm, I like it but the length.” Len says when I walk out.
“Right? It’s too long.”
Next I come out with the dark blue dress.
“Damn, Ev! You look hot.” Len nods. “Definitely a possibility.”
“It barely covers my ass.” I tug on the hem, hoping it’ll magically grow longer but the dress doesn’t give.
“Those sexy legs deserve to be shown off. But if you’re not comfortable, then it’s not the right dress. Let’s see the black one.” Len bounces on her toes and claps her hands together.
“You’re very confident in your first pick.” I tease.
“Just get in there. I’ve waited long enough.”
I switch dresses and as soon as I finish zipping it up, I just know without even looking in the mirror, that this dress is it. The way it fits perfectly, hugging all my curves in all the right places. I slowly turn around and when I see myself in the full length mirror, I gasp.
