Ch. 4
Saturday, my favorite day of the week. Well, it was until Mia decides that we have to go buy dresses for Morp, even if we don't know if it is actually happening.
"Please, Mimi, please can't I just wear a dress I already have?"
"Nope." She said popping the P. "You promised remember."
" I said I'd wear a nice dress not a new one"
"Does it really matter?" She says trying to stop me from complaining.
"Yes, it does matter."
"Stop whining and come on"
"No, I'm not going." I said pouting like a 5 year old.
"Sigh, i guess this requires the ultimate bribery" She muttered thinking I couldn't hear her. Hah! She knows my hearing is almost perfect.
"If you'll come I'll get you cotton candy ice cream." Oh come on how can I refuse cotton candy ice cream. A shop near the mall is the only place that sells it and the mall is half way across town. Do you know what that means? No ice cream! Sigh I really should learn to drive.
"That's just cruel but fine I'll come as long as we get ice cream before we go to the mall.."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So, here we at the best snack place in town. Tillie's.
I'm not really a regular (since I can't drive) but Tillie's is such a local and overlooked place that they remember practically anyone's name. And it just so happens that Manny is working today. Manny is the best he started working here last year and is probably my favorite employee.
"Hi, Manny"
"Dahlia, what's up. I feel like I haven't seen you in weeks."
"Nothing much just stopped by because somebody decided to drag me dress shopping." I said looking at Mia.
"Poor thing, going dress shopping instead of working here in this store."
"I don't even understand why you work here. Aren't you practically rich."
"I am but I have to get an actual job someday and this is a great way to get extra cash when my parents take away my allowance. Like for instance right now"
"What did you do this time?"
"Let me guess you tin-foiled the gym again." Mia chirps in.
"Nope. I dumped hair dye on the principle."
"Nice one." I said high fiving him. Because even if l don't have the guts to do them Manny's pranks are awesome.
"Oh man, Lia we have to leave the mall closes in 2 hours."
"Do we really need two hours to look for two dresses?"
"Yes remember last time I took you dress shopping you took an hour and a half to find a dress you like."
"Touché." And with that we were of to the horrid place called the Mall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"We're here!"
"Yay" I said with sarcasm and regret. I was starting to question if ice cream was worth it.
And so the dress shopping quest begins and we head out to one of Mia's favorite stores.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Could you hurry up, I already found a dress. I told you, you take too much time shopping."
"If I'm gonna go shopping than I'm gonna get a nice dress. And to be fair anything looks good on you but I have to admit that baby blue dress is really cute." The dress was really nice and the color really suited her. Plus you could see the work put into it. We got it at a store I actually don't despise. They make all there dresses by hand and they're all one of a kind.
This dress is especially beautiful. It's a halter neck and flares out a bit at the bottom before ending mid-thigh. The most beautiful part though was the lace that covered the top before stopping at the waist.
Sigh, I wish I could find a dress that easily. I mean like how do you find a dress in 15 minutes. Mia's either really talented when it comes to dress shopping our I'm just really bad at it. It's probably the latter.
"Here, try this one on you'll love it."
"Mia, I told you to stop choosing..." I'm speechless the dress she's holding is beautiful. It's a simple black dress with a tulle skirt but what really makes it stand out is the gorgeous gold embroidery running along the dress. Maybe I should've gone with the former, too.
"Oh my god it's gorgeous."
"Stop gawking Lia and try it on"
