Chapter 117: Chapter 117
"Move so I can get to Nate" A voice I recognised said and I looked over Patick’s shoulder to see lux and I ran to the door, the image of the guy she beat up at the grocery store coming to mind I really didn’t want Patrick hurt
"hey" I said moving over to stand beside Patrick "What are you doing here?It’s my day off" which I was thankful for, after the confrontation with Adrian the day before I really didn’t want another one.
"I desperately need your help"
"What’s wrong"
"You need to come with me to look for a wedding dress" she said and I raised an eyebrow, she seemed panicked for that?
"Oh crap you’re engaged?...Um sorry I didn’t know or I wouldn’t have-" patrick said nervously but I cut him off
"I’m sure you have friends who are more...good with the fashion stuff. I suck at it to be honest"
"No I don’t want your help choosing a dress" she said "I need your help with Ren and Melissa"
"The girls you introduced me to a week ago?" I asked confused, why would she need my help with them?
"Yes!" she said "You don’t know how these girls get when its about clothes and especially the wedding, please don’t let me go alone with them"
"uuh I’m guessing i should go inside and.." Patrick said taking a few steps back "yeah"
"I don’t know" I said still feeling a bit skeptical. What was I supposed to say? I didn’t have any experience with having friends so i didn’t know a thing. What if I say something wrong and they decide I’m an idiot after all? But then again I wouldn’t lose anything but this was the one chance I had to maybe get a few friends "Okay"
"Yaay" she said as she grabbed my arm and dragged me "Ren and Mel are waiting in the car" How the hell was she so fast? she almost literally flew down the stairs. But the thought left my mind when we got out of the building and reached the car
"Finally Lily you know these stores don’t stay open forever" Ren said as she looked out the window "Oh hi Nate!"
"Believe me Ren, if I know you, you would definitely find a way to keep them open as much as you like"
"true" melissa said and I laughed with them and got in the back with Lily. Ren immediately drove to the closest bridal shop and as soon as we were in the store she started throwing dresses at Lily for her to try.
"The perfect wedding dress is essential Lily" Ren sid as she looked at a couple of dresses as Lily was changing into her fifth or sixth dress "it’s the most important thing in the whole wedding"
"Oh i don’t know, I think the bride and groom being present is a bit more important" Lily said sarcastically from the changing room and Mel chuckled
"Nops" Mel said "Not even close"
"I seriously don’t get all this wedding dress shit" Lily said in a frustrated voice "I mean you try on dress after dress to find the perfect one and then you only wear it once, what’s the point?"
"Don’t make me shoot you" Ren said "You’re just lucky you decided to get married after graduation or I wouldn’t have had time to plan your wedding like I planned mine"
"Oh I’m sure you would have figured something out" Lily said with a sigh "Okay I’m coming out" We all looked at the changing room when she came out she looked at herself in the mirror "I feel like a giant marshmallow"
"it’s nice" Melissa said as she waled around Lily assesing her "but nor perfect"
"No it’s not the one" Ren added "What do you think Nate?"
"it’s very pretty" I said lamely. I honestly didn’t know what all the fuss was about, it’s not like Lily would look anything but gorgeous in any of those dresses.
"No Lily, this isn’t the one"
"I swear you’re worse than the twins" Lily grumbled and I looked at her weirdly
"the twins take you shopping?" I asked thinking of the two huge guys I met, well all the guys in that house were huge, but would they really take her shopping
"Yup" Lily said with a grin and a shake of her head "Anytime there’s a party or just because they think I might need new clothes"
"I swear they’re probably the only guys to like shopping" Mel said with a shake of her head and Lily rolled her eyes
"They don’t" she said and we all looked at her weirdly so she explained "No guy likes shopping. They just like taking me to shop because they know I wouldn’t otherwise, cause I really don’t care for that stuff" she laughed "I think they were thankful when I found some girl friends, no because they wanted to get rid of me, but because they couldn’t deal with another shopping trip" She looked at a wedding dress melissa had laid out for her "I think I’ll try this one on"
As Lily changed and ren and melissa searched for other dresses I couldn’t help but think about what lux said, it must be amazing having someone love you so much they’d be willing to do what the twins did.
"Pssst Nate" I heard lux whisper from the changing room and saw looked at where she had stuck out her head "Come here?"
I walked towards the changing room and she grabbed me and pulled me inside "what are you doing?" I asked and she shrugged. I looked at the dress she was wearing and stared in shock. "Oh my god you look amazing"
"Yeah I’m gonna definitely buy this one" she said hurriedly "but I wanted to talk to you"
"About what?"
