Aubry POV
I flop down on my bed, endless sobs racking through my damp, cold body.
I had changed into my favorite polar bear pajamas to help me deal with my dilemma.
That…. Dog thing loves me.
My love is for Tristan and Tristan only. To top it all off, he is supposed to come over for a 'meet the parents' dinner tonight.
The edge of my fluffy mattress sank slightly, and a cool hand patted my leg.
"Aubry, dear, he can't help it."
Alice's chiming voice washed over me like a much needed hug.
I pushed myself up and fell into her hard embrace.
"I just….can't!" I sniffle into her shoulder.
Alice sighed and patted my hair. She pulled me away from her porcelain body.
"Tristan is coming over. Don't ruin your natural beauty before I can enhance it with style and makeup!"
She laughed her breezy laugh, and I hiccupped along with her.
You can't distract Alice from fashion for too long.
She got off the bed and dragged me to my vanity within moments. She parted my chocolate hair with her slender, nimble fingers.
After it fell in feathery waves around me, she started on my makeup. The pale green shadow she smeared on my lids brought out the rich brown color of my eyes. My lips were a frosty pink, matching the trim on my dress.
My dress was a mint color, a strip of pink satin trimming the bodice and hem that settled above my knees.
"I hope that Tristan boy remembered to wear something nice." Alice grumbled while she touched up my blush.
"Of course he did." My face turned insane shades of red.
Tristan often didn't….. do fancy. He was a grungy video gamer.
Alice sucked in a breath, her face beaming with pride.
"I did amazing!" She breathed. "You are the epitome of beauty."
I groaned.
"Be civil. No embarrassment. Please." I said, trying not to itch my eyes.
She closed her eyes, putting a hand over her still heart. "Scouts honor."
"You were never a scout."
"So?"
"Oh Alice…"
