CHAPTER 5

Leticia

“Girl, let me see,” Scarlett yells outside of the dressing room.

The store’s associate zips up the dress, adjusting the gown.

“I can’t wait for you to see it,” I yell, pulling the door open and walking out of the dressing room.

The associate follows me towards the stand with the circular mirrors.

“Oh my god, I love this dress,” I whisper, looking in the mirror. I twirl around the mirror, looking at the dress from all angles.

“Yes, that dress is perfect for you,” Scarlett says, nodding.

“I think this is it,” I whisper, wide-eyed.

“We have a matching maid of honor dress,” the associate says, pulling the train out.

“What do you think,” I ask Scarlett, looking at her through the mirror.

“It doesn’t hurt to look at it,” Scarlett nods, smiling.

“I’ll get you the gown for you to try on,” the associate says, walking away.

“What color do you want me to wear,” Scarlett asks, giggling.

“A red color,” I say, pulling up the gown to turn around to look at the dress that the associate is holding up.

“Oh my god, that’s so pretty,” Scarlett squeals, walking over to touch the gown.

“Yes, it’s perfect,” I say, nodding.

“Let me get the dressing room ready for you to try it on,” the associate says, nodding.

A few minutes later, Scarlett walks out of the dressing room.

She looks flushed and bright-eyed, taking long strides to get to the stand.

“I love it,” Scarlett squeals, raising her hands to her chest.

“It looks perfect on you,” I say, nodding.

“Wonderful, let’s get them,” Scarlett says, nodding.

“Awesome, because I’m starving,” I say, nodding.

We order our gowns, and we have some lunch. I love girl time since I’ve never had before this.

Two months later.

I can’t believe it.

It’s finally our wedding day; Michail insisted that it be on this day. I’m starting to think that the man is totally romantic.

On Valentine’s Day, do you believe that?

Yeah, Michail wanted our wedding on Valentine’s Day.
