Dallas POV
We returned from the engagement party on the boat and went to the hotel. I was just ready to get out of this annoying dress and into my comfortable sweatshirt and shorts. I got changed and sat on my bed, when Remi and Jade walked over to me.
"Dal, are you doing ok?" they asked with concerned expressions.
"Yeah, I'm fine…, just tired," I responded.
"Ok, I know it's hard for you to see Brady with Stas…" Remi said.
"I'm over it, really. He's with her now and will be forever. I've been over him for a while now," I told them and they just rolled their eyes in a doubting expression.
"Sure, Dallas, sure..." they said and laughed.
"Honestly!" I said and they just walked away.
"Stas just texted me. She said she wants to go dress shopping tomorrow afternoon," Remi told us.
"Dress shopping is disgusting!" Jade said and I high-fived her.
"It's not that bad! Besides, she wants both of you there," Remi replied.
"She wants me there?" I asked.
"I'm assuming! It'll be fun! Plus you get to meet some of her friends!" Remi continued.
"Yeah! More stuck up rich bitches!" I said and Remi gave me a look.
"Dallas!"
"It's true!"
"Play nice!"
"Fine, I'll put on the happy face and make sarcastic comments," I told her, Jade laughing next to me.
"Whatever gets you through the day," Remi said and I smiled. We continued to talk until we fell asleep.
We woke up the next morning to head back to Paris. Remi got dressed in a cute floral romper with sandals, while Jade had a simple black sundress on with sandals. I, however, decided to dress like my normal self and not class it up for dress shopping. I put on my "You look nice today" tank with my ripped high-waisted black shorts, my "Fuck this" earrings, and my black combat boots.
"Nice outfit Dal, the earrings really complement your personality," Remi said with a smile.
"I felt like they represented my mood towards this dress shopping thing," I replied. We got all of our things and went back to the coach bus. We rode, until we got to Paris. We dropped off our bags in the rooms and walked downstairs to the lobby. Stas was standing there in a white printed button down sundress with cobalt blue heels, her blue burkin and a shiny bracelet.
"Look at that bracelet! It's like covered in diamonds," I said to my friends.
"I want it so bad!" Charlotte said.
"Then buy one," I suggested and Charlotte laughed.
"Like I could afford that!" she exclaimed.
"Sure, it's what, couple hundred dollars and your parents make bank," I started to say.
"A couple hundred? Honey, that bracelet is worth 50,000," Charlotte responded and I caught my mouth gaping open.
"Holy shit! Is her wedding dress going to be made solely out of diamonds!" I said and Charlotte smiled. We walked over to her and she made her rounds hugging everyone, including me for some reason.
"Girls, I'm so happy you could come with me to find my dress. I know how important it is to Brady that I bond with all of you," she said with a smile.
"I'm so excited to see you in those dresses!" Charlotte said and I rolled my eyes. We walked outside to the overcast skies. A limo was waiting with a chauffeur standing next to the back door.
"Ms. Hadid, your ride awaits," he said to her then opened the door.
"I thought this would be enough space for all of us," Stas said and I smirked and got in. We drove down the busy Parisian streets until we reached a boutique. The boutique was nestled in a line of Parisian stores and looked elegant on the outside. We walked up and inside to see walls covered in white dresses. A woman in a black dress stood behind a desk typing on the computer.
"Bonjour, I have an appointment for Anastasia Hadid," Stas said to the woman. The woman looked up with a bright smile.
"Ms. Hadid, it is a pleasure to have you here today. Please take a seat on our couches while I set up a fitting room for you," the woman said, ushering us to three red and gold couches. I noticed that there was only one area for a bride at a time. Did Stas make an appointment for the entire day?
"Ladies, would you care for a drink, perhaps some champagne or some tea?" a consultant asked.
"I would love some champagne," I said with a smile. The woman smiled.
"Actually I would love some too," Stas replied. The woman returned with flasks of champagne and cups of water.
"Will there be anyone else joining us today Ms. Hadid?" The woman asked.
"Yes, my friend should arrive shortly," Stas said with a smile. Within seconds of that comment, a girl with blonde hair walked in, carrying a baby in her arms.
"I'm so sorry I'm late! I hope I didn't miss anything!" she said with a smile.
"Cosie, you're just in time!" Stas said then gave her a hug.
"This must be the future in-laws," she said then walked over to us.
"Actually, only two of them are my in-laws, three if you count Charlotte," Stas said.
"I'm afraid I haven't introduced myself. I'm Cosette Cartier, but you may call me Cosie," she told us. "Oh and this is my daughter, Penelope." Penelope looked about one maybe two and had dark hair with brown eyes, the opposite of Cosette. I wondered who the father was, but decided not to ask.
"Cartier? As in the company Cartier?" Charlotte asked.
"Yes my family owns the company, dating back to the beginnings," Cosette said.
"Ms. Hadid, I have a room ready for you. What type of dress were you wanting to look at?" the woman asked.
"I really love Rosa Clara gowns. I would prefer a ball gown style dress, maybe some mermaid dresses as well," Stas told her. She followed the woman back to the room while we sat around talking.
"Cosette, how long have you known Stas?" Remi asked.
"I've known Stas since we were children. She is my best friend and I couldn't miss this day!" Cosie replied.
"Penelope is so adorable! How old is she?" Charlotte asked.
"She's about 1 and six months. She's my pride and joy. I just wish her father saw it that way, but he isn't in the picture," Cosette said with a sense of bitterness.
"I can't wait to see Stas and Brady's kids, they will be so adorable!" Kylie said. The thought of Stas and Brady having offspring made me want to hurl.
"Stas will be a great mother. She does so well with Penelope!" Cosette said.
Stas walked out in a cream-colored ball gown with an open back that had two bows connecting the two sides on the back.
"What do you think? I want your honest opinions," Stas said.
"I love that dress! It looks perfect on you!" Remi said with a smile.
"I agree! I love the bows in the back!" Charlotte added. I kept my mouth shut because my mother told me that if you had nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.
"Dallas, what do you think?" Stas asked.
"You want my opinion?" I asked her with a smile.
"Yes I want to here what you think," she said.
"It makes your ass look huge and the bows look stupid," I said and she bit her lip, trying to hold back her comments.
"Thank you for your input,"Stas said then walked back with the woman.
"Dallas, that was rude!" Blair said and I rolled my eyes.
"She asked for my opinion and I gave it to her! It's not my fault if she doesn't like what I say," I told her. Stas came out in a different dress that was one shoulder and had three huge layers of ruffles.
"I'm unsure about this dress," Stas said.
"It really hides your figure," Cosette said.
"You look like you belong on top of a wedding cake," I said and Stas pushed off the comment and returned to the back. She came back with a much more revealing dress. It was body fitting and had a low drop in the front, showing half of her chest and the back dropped down close to her butt.
"Sexy, I like it Stas!" Cosette said.
"It does show my figure," Stas said and I rolled my eyes. If she want a slutty dress, this would be perfect.
"I like the first dress much better," Blair said.
"I did too. I have a few more to try on then I'll put on the favorites," Stas said. She came out in different dresses and I gave my sarcastic responses. Stas held back her anger with me and while she changing into a dress, my friends attacked me.
"Dal, why are you being so mean? Stas is trying to enjoy yourself and you're ruining it for her!" Blair said.
"Dal, you are being rude. Is this because of Brady?" Remi asked.
"Really Rems? You had to go there. Not this isn't because of Brady! All of you need to stop thinking that's my reason for acting the way I do! Look, this is my personality, always has been. I was like this before Brady, and I'm like this after Brady. I don't have feelings for him anymore! He clearly chose Stas over me so we can just stop talking about this. Besides, I hate shopping so why would you ever think I want to watch Stas try on dresses?" I asked them and they all gave me a look.
"Dal, we didn't mean it in that way..." Blair said.
"No it doesn't matter," I replied. Stas came out in a dress that was strapless and had lace covering the top and then split to go down the sides. It had a huge white flower on the side that made the dress. Stas stood in the mirror and started to tear up.
"I think this is my dress," she said with a smile. Everyone jumped in about how much they loved it, but I kept my mouth shut. The consultant put a veil in Stas' hair and she began to cry more. The girls went in for a group hug, but I remained seated. Who cries over an overpriced thing of fabric anyways?
"We will have one fitted for you in a few months Ms. Hadid," the consultant said. Stas went back and returned in her normal clothes. She set up and appointment with the boutique and we walked outside.
"I was thinking we could do more shopping, what do you think?" Stas asked all of us. The girls replied in agreement.
"I think I'll pass. I'm tired so I think I'll head to the hotel to take a nap. Thanks for having me Stas," I said with a smile.
"Thank you Dallas for your wonderful comments," Stas said with a smile. The girls got into the limo and drove off. I walked along the streets towards the hotel. It began to rain, so I was soaking wet by the time I reached the lobby. I walked in and spotted Brady walking towards me.
"Was it raining or are you going for a just took a shower in my clothes look?" Brady asked with a smile.
"Haha, very funny," I said to him.
"No, but really You look Nice Today," he said, clearly reading off my shirt.
"I'd like to say the same for you, but I'd be lying," I said to him and he smiled.
"How was dress shopping?" he asked.
"Knowing my personality, how do you think it was?" I asked him and he laughed.
"Where are the others?" Brady asked.
"Still shopping, but I wanted to get out of that, so I came back here. Speaking off, why are you here?" I asked him.
"I had lunch with my parents and Liam. It was nice to talk them and see them again," Brady said.
"Glad to hear it. Well if you'll excuse me, I need to dump the water out of my boots and blow dry my hair," I said walking towards the elevator.
"See you later Dal," Brady said as he walked out the doors. I took the elevator up to my room and shuffled down the hall. I opened the door and walked in, taking my boots off. The more I thought about it, I want some time to myself. It might be nice to have the perfect family dinner, when I'm not present.
So what did you think? Like it or dislike? Thoughts on Dallas? The drama continues to unfold! Thanks to my bff I'm-too-outrageous-4u for helping with this story! Please let me know what you thought by reviewing! Thanks!
