Josh and I had gotten back dressed in to what we were wearing earlier and we were now just talking about random things that we had done when we were a couple. At this moment we were talking about our first kiss, not the one that happened while playing soccer, the other one, the one that I started crying and ran out from. We were laughing at it now, which was a good thing I guess. Then someone knocked on who door, I got up to see who it was and what they wanted. I opened the door and Astrid and Trey came in.
"Hey peoples", Astrid said in her strong British accent.
"Hey, sorry about this, Astrid and I could have shared, but Noelle doesn't really know about us yet and if she found out it would be out in seconds that we are dating."
"Oh, it's fine! Don't worry about it. We'll live." I looked back at Josh and he was still lying on the bed.
"Good! Ok, so Noelle says you two have to get your buts down to our cars in 2 seconds or you won't have a dress to where to the party"
"Ok, come on Josh, get your lazy bones off that bed and come right now", he looked at me slightly confused, I just smiled.
We had just arrived at Bergdorf's. I loved this place; it made the world seem so perfect, like all your problems would be solved by a dress or a new bag. I was the first to start walking to the elevator; we all crammed in to it and pressed the button 4. The boys were being forced by Noelle to judge our dresses, so that each of us found the perfect dresses. Josh and I were right at the back and everyone was so caught up in their own conversations, we were staring at each other and I was so tempted to pull him close and ravish his lips. Luckily before I did that the doors started to open. We all got out and everyone went with their guys, even the twin cities left me there and even better I was left alone with Josh. So, I took his hand and dragged him to the Valentino area. I let go of his hand and started looking through all the evening wear, there wasn't really anything besides a white ruffled gown, so I piled that on to Josh's ready arms and went to look at the Carolina Herrera evening wear. There was a pretty Coral Gown and a one shoulder bow dress; those were too piled on to Josh's arms.
"I'm first going to try those on, so come on." I pulled him by his arm to the try on rooms. I went in to the first one, with him. I pulled my shirt and pants off and took the white ruffle dress by Valentino from his arms and slipped in to it and he zipped the back up. I turned to him and he just shook his head, I tried on the other two, but neither were the right one. I took the dress and left them on the desk and went to go look at the Akris area, there was nothing there. So, we went to the next floor, I went to the Armani collection, I found an Asian toile dress and a floral dress, piled them on Josh's arms. Next was Carmen Marc Valvo, I found a gold lace strapless dress, but then I found a Aurora Chiffon Dress, and I went over to it and looked for a size 2, there was one left, I picked it up and walked straight to the try on rooms, leaving Josh standing there with all the other dresses in his arms. I quickly got undressed again and pulled it over my head. I walked out the room and over to where Josh was standing and he zipped it up. I turned around to face him and the mirror and I knew that this was the dress. I got back dressed and went to find the others. Once I had found them all we went to try on the dresses that we had found. Noelle of course went first, but when she walked out in a red embroidered dress by Carmen Marc Valvo, she looked absolutely dangerous, but so beautiful too. Dash put up ten fingers, Trey put up eight, Josh put up seven, Whit put up six and Gage put up ten and put his tongue out like he was out of breath. Now it was my turn I stepped out in my Aurora Chiffon dress by Elizabeth and James. Every guys eyes looked they were going to fall out of their heads, then all five guys put up ten gingers each and I couldn't help but blush. To go with my dress I had chosen a pair of black Christian Louboutin Nooka Bow Slingbacks, I thought they were so adorable. I walked back to join Noelle."Well done Glass licker, I see I've taught you well and I have to say that is one sexy outfit, be careful I don't think Hollis is ready to die", I laughed with her.
When we were done paying and everyone had bought their dream dresses, it was 7.30, so we decided to go and have dinner. We had all decided on going to Bella Blu, the Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side, we got in to Noelle and Astrid's cars and drove to the restaurant. We parked and walked in to the restaurant, a very handsome Italian man came up to us, the oldest he could be was 21.
"Evening ladies, table for eleven?"
"Yes, please"
"Where would you like to sit, by the window? Outside?"
"By the window would be great"
"Okay, please follow me."
He walked us over to the window, we took our seats and the man gave us our menus. I watched him walk away, he turned around and winked at me and I gave him my sexy smile and faced by friends.
"Okay, seeing we all found our dresses for the party today, I vote we celebrate with a bit of Champaign", everyone said yes and Noelle called the waiter over with a flick of her hand.
"We will have three bottles of your finest Champaign", She them put a fifty dollar bill in to the drink menu.
"Of course miss", he pulled the fifty out and stuffed it in his pocket. Then came around and took all the drink menus, then came back with the food menus and the Champaign. I opened my menu, as the waiter came around pouring Champaign in to each of our glasses.
Josh leaned over and whispered in my ear, "What are you having? Oh, and the waiters staring at you creepily", I looked up at the waiter and smiled. I leaned over to Josh and said, "I think I'm going to have the salmon ravioli, what about you?"
"The same", then he gave me the sweetest smile and I so badly wanted to be able to kiss him right now. So, I turned away and turned to Astrid.
"Hey, Astrid?"
She turned to me, "Yeah?"
"Come with me to the bathroom?"
"Sure", she looked at me concerned.
We excused our selves, walked towards the bathroom and went in.
"Are you okay, Reed?"
"I don't know", I sat on the basin.
"What's wrong, Reed? You're kind of freaking me out."
I took a deep breath, "I've been seeing Josh secretly and um", I breathed in and out again, "I'm running late." She stared at me taking it all in.
"You think you're pregnant?" She looked like she was going to faint.
"I don't know, I should have started five days ago."
"When did you and Josh start this?"
"Um, about three, two weeks ago."
"Oh My God, Reed. What were you thinking?" She quietly screamed at me and hit my arm. I looked at her and rubbed my paining arm.
"I said I don't know. I don't know why I'm still even doing it with him, but, I know that I love him more than anything."
"Have you told him?"
"No, nor am I going to, he doesn't ever need to know."
"Reed, of course he needs to know! He could be a father in nine months."
"He doesn't want this."
"Reed, we are talking about Josh, he wants to know anything that happens to you and he will want to be there if there is a baby."
"So, what you saying I should tell him?"
"Yes!"
"How? Oh, by the way Josh, when we were having sex one of the times in the beginning, the condom must have broken, because I think I might be pregnant? He will die Astrid, literally die."
"Just tell him, because otherwise I will. He deserves to know." then she left me there in my own circle of hell.
I had to tell him. I had to tell him. I had to tell him. Fun.
