-Chapter 17-

"Your making me where a dress?!" Mia complained turning around to look at mey
"Yep." I walked to my old bed and pick up Arabella's dress and hand it to her
"I hate you." Mia mumbled
"Welcome to the club, I've been doing this for 16 years. Dressing up to go eat fancy food and drink fancy liquor." Patricia walks in a knee length-not to tight-black dress with flats
"It isn't really that bad." Joy comments, shes in a dress, straight off the shelf from Nordstrom and Ambers company's, collaboration collection... fitting at the top and the bottom reminded me of one of Ambers old, high waisted school skirts, it was white with black lace with matching Jimmy Choo heels.
Me on the other hand, my dress looked a bit like Joys, fitting at the top but, it was flowy at the bottom, it was dark blue with blue shiny heels.
"We've got to go!" I say, looking at the clock
"C'mon!" Joy grabs Patricia and leaves
"I'll be down to the car with Arabella in a minute..." Mia tells me
When Mia said "car" it actually meant "white limo" we were all in a limo, driving to some over-priced, really beautiful dinner somewhere. All of us had toned it down to make Amber look like a star even, KT and Willow, who had gone with the Marilyn Monroe dress style, KT white, Willow red, had toned it down. The men basically wore the tie & suit kinda look.
Except for Nina. Nina didn't get the memo. Nina looked Amazing, and unlike the usual, she put actual effort into it... A long, black, body-fitting dress, with a mermaid bottom that had a little of a train, there were diamonds alining the neckline and along the short sleeved arms. Not to mention the diamonds she wore. I knew what she was doing. She had revenge in mind. Something like, "ha, you get our daughter, you get our friends but look at me. Wish you would've taken me back now?" Kinda thingy going, and by the look on her, and Fabians face, she succeeded.
But, it's Amber were talking about, she never fails to deliver. A pail pink, long, lacy, dress, v-neck and long sleeved, if was a show-stopper. It had hints of sparkles, here and there. It was obviously a long thought about dress.
I look at Mia and Arabella, they wore normal, simple dresses, like the kinda people wear to picture day. The layered, knee length skirt and white detailed top with quarter length sleeves. Mia's skirt was dark purple, Ara's was pink.
We thought getting Fabian to let them go to this dinner was hard but, finding something he thought was "decent for their age" to wear, was a war in its self.
I look out the window, and in the distance, I see it. A castle, a castle surrounded by a vineyard. I look at Mick, who's prideful, half smile told me, yes, that's exactly where we were going.
Boy, that man never failed to surprise me.
A/N A NEW POV! Something different! Something not expected. A little bit of a filer chapter, I know but, it's serving a purpose. What purpose, you do not know. And I'm not going to tell you right now. So, will something happen at the Ambers birthday dinner? What do you think is gonna happen, if something does happen? Tell me, my fellow people! ✌️.
