"Ok," Jimmy said taking a big breath, "I'll do it!"
"Good, not that you had a choice. Let's go get Carl."
"Wait, what about Danielle?"
"Well, get her, come on!" Sheen said agitated.
Jimmy went back to the back of the suite and all the way up to the door. "Uh… she's not here." Jimmy said nervously.
Back with the girls things were a little more positive, seeing as how all of them loved getting makeovers and going shopping.
"Wow, Paris really does have the best shopping in the world, next to Italy." Cindy commented as they were walking by some lower class brand name stores, even they looked pretty nice. They walked into a very expensive Bloomingdale's.
"Sure does, and this, would look drop-dead gorgeous on you." Libby said. She pulled a double-spaghetti-strap dress from the rack and held it up high. Cindy's eyes sparkled in the reflection of its light-green iridescence.
"Man, I love that dress on you, Cindy." Brittany commented while Libby was holding the dress up to Cindy.
"It does look pretty good, doesn't it?" Cindy said. "How much is it?"
"Girl, reality check. We are in Paris, France with a no-limit credit card, that we never have to pay back. You just found basically the dress of your dreams, it's Valentines Day and um… you are supposed to be all dressed up later on tonight. What difference does price make?" Libby said dumbstruck.
"I was just curious, I mean the money does come from somewhere."
Libby looked at the tag, "$777.77" Libby said halfheartedly.
"Wow, do I deserve something that nice, or expansive?" Cindy said. 'It's beautiful and all but I'm not worth it, am I?'
"Girl, at least try it on!" Libby begged, practically throwing her and the dress into the nearest dressing room.
"Ok, ok, I'll try it on!" Cindy said. "Not that I have a choice." 'Not that I want a choice, I mean this is one cute dress.' Cindy thought to herself, she put on the dress, having no intention of buying it and walked out of the dressing room to show her friends. "Well, here it is." She said turning around.
"Oh, for heaven's sake, Girl, please take that hair down." Libby said. Cindy reluctantly reached up, undid her hair, and shook her head gently. Libby was speechless.
"Look… at… yourself…" Brittany stuttered pointing to the mirror. "And, as Libby says, for heaven's sake, smile!" Brittany exclaimed.
Cindy looked into the mirror and slowly a genuine smile creeps across her lips. "Wow, do you think Jimmy would like it?" 'Of coarse he would, what kind of a question is that?' Cindy asked herself.
"Like it? I don't think saying he'd love it would be enough!" Libby said finding her tongue.
Cindy swirled in the mirror, "Well, I do look pretty good in it," she said modestly.
"Girl, that dress does not make you look good, it makes you look plain hot!" Libby said. She knew that since becoming a Christian Cindy could have cared less about dressing hot and all, but man, that was the only way to describe the silk dress that dropped loosely around Cindy's delicate figure. It was almost as if the dress was made with her in mind.
