Part Four
Mimi sat in shock as she heard the dial tone in her ear. As soon as Jason had said "just do it." He had hung up, without giving her a chance to protest. Throwing her hands up in defeat, she thought of wearing something else.
' Maybe I should wear that new pink summer dress I got yesterday.' Mimi thought as she hung up the phone and walked over to the closet.
Finding the pink dress she took it out of her closet before looking for the dress Jason had requested.
' Okay so he has good taste. But still. The dress does have the d\message I want to send but do I want to wear it? Jason basically did a caveman routine on me and expects me to wear it? I don't think so.' Mimi thought angrily. ' Shut up and wear the damn dress Mimi!'
" Oh great now I'm arguing with myself! What else can happen?" Mimi said out loud.
" Meems?"
' Perfect.'
" Yes mom?"
" Who was it?"
" It was Jason."
" Oh."
" What mom?"
" Well I was wondering what you were doing tonight, considering it is the last day of school."
" Jason asked me to go to Phillip's party with him."
" Are you going?"
" Yes."
" Okay. Have fun."
" I will, Mom."
Mimi sighed as she went back to her bed and looked at the dress. Looking at the clock she realized she had to hurry if she wanted to be ready when Jason got there. Going into her adjoining bathroom, she took off her clothes and stepped underneath the hot spray.
Jason hung up the phone and shook his head.
' I bet she's arguing with herself about whether she should wear the dress or not. I know she will thought/ I guess I better go get ready. I can't wait for tonight. Back up Welles. Did you just say you can't wait for tonight? It is just Meems. Stop lying Welles, it isn't just Meems, it's Mimi.'
Jason stood up and headed to the bathroom down the hall. Turning on the shower, he quickly shed his clothes and jumped in.
Mimi smiled at her reflection as she applied her lip-gloss. It had taken her almost an hour to do her hair and make-up. It was nearing 7:30 and all she had left to do was put on her dress. Walking over to her bed, she picked up the dress. Slowly she slipped in on over bra and panties. Twirling to face the mirror again she closed her eyes and let herself be brought back to Puerto Rico.
***Flashback***
Mimi stared out into the ocean as the black fabric of her dress blew around her legs. Sighing again, she turned to go back to hotel when she saw her best friend Belle coming towards her.
" Meems! I have been looking everywhere for you." She said, as she was closer.
" I've been here."
" What's wrong?"
" Nothing."
" Miriam Lockhart. I have known you forever and you have the nerve to tell me nothing is wrong? I don't think so. So really, what's wrong?"
" I know."
" Then why try to lie?"
" I don't know."
" Mimi…"
" Its just…next year is our senior year? What will I be doing? I'll be cleaning toilets. I helped ruin a girl's reputation. I lost my friends…"
" Mimi."
" Yeah?"
" Chloe's reputation is fine. Cleaning toilets for a year won't be that bad. A year moves fast. And finally, as for your friends, we're still here."
***End Flashback***
Mimi shook her head as the image cleared from her mind. That night they had become closer than ever and Mimi had realized that Belle was right. Everything would be okay. Smiling once more she stared at her reflection.
The cut of the dress made Mimi seem skinnier and sophisticated. When she had first seen it in the store, she had fallen in love. But the second she tried it on, she knew she had to have it. No question about it. She had hoped it would attract someone she had been eying for a while and maybe it did. She'd find out soon enough, because the doorbell just rang.
