Stacy layed in her bed that Saturday morning longer than she should've. She
really didn't know what she was going to do that day, probably because
she'd be on her own. Her and Andrew had decided to do things separately for
that day, and then get together for dinner. Torrie called her and invited
her to go along with herself and the rest of the girls for a day of
shopping. Finally at 10:30 she rolled out of bed, and headed to the
bathroom. Turning on the shower, she looked over at the counter by the sink
and saw a piece of paper, folded up and sitting by her toothbrush.
She walked over and picked it up. She unfolded it, and read it silently to herself.
'Stace...I love you...Meet me at 5:30 in front of the gas station down the road...and be casually dressed we're going some place better than burgers and fries.'
Laughing out loud, she folded the note back up, and put it on the counter once again. Slowly, she undressed and got into the shower. She had it on cold water to wake herself up. Once she finished in the shower, she wrapped herself in a big towel, and walked out to the phone. She dialed Torrie's number and waited for her to pick up. But when the other end picked up, it was a French accent answering.
"Hello?"
"Rene! It's Stacy. Is Torrie there?"
"Hold on Stace, I'll go get her."
Stacy could hear Rene calling to Torrie. Then she heard Torrie answering Rene, and then picking up the phone. "Hey chick, what's happening?"
"What time are you leaving today?"
"Whenever you get your behind over here, so hurry up."
"I've got to get dressed first, so give me about half hour. I'll see you soon."
"Could you pick up Trish on your way over? Her car broke down, and now she's got no way of getting over here!"
"Of course I could. Just call her and let her know I'm coming to get her."
She hung up the phone and set it back down on the base. She dressed rather quickly, and headed towards her car. Getting in, she started it up and buckled her seatbelt. Trish's house was right down the road from theirs so it didn't really put her out of her way by picking her up.
Once she got there, Trish came rushing out to the car. She had a huge smile on her face, and she had a few bags in hand. "Girl, we've got loads to talk about."
"Oh really?" Stacy asked backing out of the driveway.
"Guess what!"
"You got a dog?"
"NO! Chris asked me to move in with him. I was so shocked that I started to cry. Of course I said yes, and I'm moving in, in a few days."
"Awe, hun, that's awesome. I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks. I just can't believe we're finally moving in together. You know what happens then."
"If we're thinking the same thing, babe, that's already happened." Stacy laughed at Trish who looked at her confused.
"I'm talking about us becoming stronger finally!"
"Not that you weren't already."
"Yeah, anyways." Trish laughed. "Who's all going today?"
"The usual. I think we've finally separated Adam and Sable. Finally. Ha, yeah, so Sable, Tor, and I'm not sure about Amy."
"Well, I'm not sure if it'll surprise you but her and Jay have plans. God, they should've never broke up in the first place. All she talks about is him. Jay this, Jay that. I told her last night that if she didn't shut up, I'd hang up on her."
"I hear ya, girl. We're here." Stacy pulled in the driveway and shut the engine off.
The two got out of the car and walked up to the door. It started to warm up were they were, but they were still wearing coats. Torrie came to the door before they could even ring the bell. Trish's cell phone rang just as she got inside.
"Hello?" Trish continued listening to the person on the phone, saying, 'Oh,' and 'What,' all throughout the conversation. Once she hung up, the tears began to pour from her eyes.
"Trish, what's wrong Sweetie?" Stacy consoled her friend and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Oh you know, relationship troubles. Why does he always do this to me, when I'm so happy?"
"What do you mean Trish?" Torrie said as she was walking towards Trish and Stacy.
"Chris thinks I'm being overprotective of him. I just told him not to do anything I wouldn't do when I left him a message today...trying to be funny. He said that I'm trying to tell him not to cheat on me, when in reality I'm not."
"Oh don't let him bother you. Andrew and I go through the same thing. And if he truly loves you Trish, you'll have a big bouquet of flowers sitting on your doorstep when you get home."
"I hope your right. God, I need to use the bathroom."
Trish walked up the stairs and into the bathroom. Stacy and Torrie looked at each other and Stacy sighed. "He's the one being a jerk and he's being over protective. She always tells me how whenever they're together he's always steering her away from all the guys at work. Not letting her talk to even her friends."
"I don't know Stace, I just feel so bad for her. She's completely in love with him."
"Totally."
Trish walked back down the stairs just as Sable showed up. They all got into Torrie's car. Stacy and Trish in the back, Torrie and Sable in the front. Sable had a huge smile on her face.
"What are you so happy about?" Stacy asked her friend.
"Adam just makes me so happy."
"Obviously. Trish, you okay back there?" Torrie looked in her rearview mirror to check on Trish. She had her head leaning against the window and they could all tell she was upset.
"Just fine."
They continued talking about odds and ends, and more wedding plans of Stacy's. Trish stayed quiet most of the way to the mall, not wanting to talk. Once they got there, she got out and decided to go off on her own. The other three stayed together.
"Where shall we stop first ladies?"
"Well Tor, how about Sears?"
"I like that idea Stace, let's go."
Sable began walking in the wrong direction and Torrie corrected her.
"This way genius."
They all followed Torrie because she was the only one who seemed to know her way around the mall. They got to Sears and began picking out all sorts of wedding presents for Stacy. Many of them were for Andrew, more than they were for her. Trish met up with them right before they went to the food court, having plenty of bags in hand.
"Well, we know that you can shop on an empty stomach, how about seeing what you can do on a full one." Sable exclaimed taking a few of Trish's bag out of her hands.
"Thanks, and yeah I'm starving."
Stacy decided to also take a few bags off Trish's hands. She seemed exhausted and still upset about her phone call from Chris. "Well, I'll treat you to a nice big burger."
"Why burgers when we can have chicken?"
"Whatever you want girl. C'mon, let's go."
Trish and Stacy went off to KFC, while Sable and Torrie went to Subway. "I'm really sorry about earlier Trish."
"It's okay. I mean, why does he think I'm over protective? I may act like it, but he has his freedom. It's not like we're married."
"But maybe you are being a little over protective because you don't want to lose what you've got." She looked over to Trish. "And trust me, you've got something great. He's a completely different person all because of you."
"Yeah, he is."
They ordered their food, and went to sit at the table. While the were eating the talked more about Stacy's wedding plans, the dress colors, and who all would be in the wedding. They continued shopping after they ate, and then a few hours later they decided to leave. Trish clearly spent the most money, ending up with twenty of her own bags. When they got back to Torrie's house, Stacy and Trish left right away. Stacy wanted to get home and get ready so she could go out to dinner with Andrew, and she had an hour and a half to do so.
As she dropped Trish off at her house, she noticed Chris's car sitting in the driveway. Trish told her to hang on a second so that she could have a getaway car if what she thought was going to happen, indeed happened.
They argued for pretty much the entire time they were talking, and Trish ended up in tears. Stacy thought about going to see if she was alright but Chris was still there. He took her in his arms, and ran his fingers through her long blonde hair and kissed her on the forehead. Knowing that everything was now fine between them, she drove to her house.
Once she got there she had an hour to get ready. She picked out her light pink dress and lay it down on her bed. Taking a long hot bubble bath relaxed her muscles from the long day of shopping. As she got out of the tub, she decided to curl her hair. When she was all finished getting ready, she went out to her car. Instead of meeting her at the gas station, Andrew arranged a limo, and was waiting beside it with a single red rose. How much better could it possibly get?
