Ugh I feel like crap this morning. I'm coming down with a cold, plus I'm supposed to drive down to Florida on Thursday, so hopefully my cold will be better by then. Anyway, here's your update guys!
*Time skip a Year*
I paced back and forth in the changing room nervously. I've tried on about 20 different dresses and none of them worked! They were all either too long, too small, kept falling off my cleavage, made my cleavage pop up, or made me look like a big marshmallow. "Clarke, calm down, we'll find the right dress!" Octavia was trying everything to ease my panic, and stress, but nothing would work. "We've been to five different dress shops in the last week and I've tried on 20 dresses at each! None of them had the right thing! Octavia, what if I can't find the dress? Oh my god what if I can't find a dress, and we have to call off the wedding? Oh my god.." My panic grew, and Octavia got up, grabbing my shoulders and turning me to face her, and looking me dead in the eye. "You will not call off the wedding, you will not lose hope, we will find the right dress if it's the last thing we do!" She actually started to shake my shoulders a little bit. My eyes were a little wide as I nodded franticly, and she smiled, dropping her arms. "Good. Now, let's go find another dress shop!" She grabbed her purse and skipped out of the store, towing me behind her. Of course, I was too busy trying not to trip while keeping up with Octavia to notice the mop of black hair walking into a tux shop on the other side of the street. "Look! Over there!" She squealed, and dragged me to a bridal shop right next to the tux shop. The shop was surprisingly quiet, and it was a very nice set up. Dresses hanging along each wall, a few on mannequins, and the floors were light colored wood, and the walls were a pale yellow. It had a very nice.. Vibe, to it.. Octavia was already off god knows where, as I began sifting through the dresses. I was searching, and beginning to give up hope, when I finally found it. I stopped, pulling a dress out of the hangers, and holding it up to look at it. It was a slim satin gown that fanned out at the knees, like a mermaid gown, but more flowy. It was a shiny material, and it had long lace sleeves, and lace that covered the bodice down across the waist, and turned into a swirly pattern before fading out, the back of the dress was open down to the small of your back, so the sleeves would cling to your shoulders, and it dipped down to show just enough cleavage, but not too much. "Octavia!" I called, hurrying to the dressing room. Octavia showed up a minute later, her eyes wide when she saw me slipping on the dress. "Can you zip it?" I asked, turning, and she nodded, racing forward and pulling the zipper up to the small of my back, where the back of the dress started. The rest of it was showing off my little back dimple to the world. I smiled, because I knew Bellamy loved my little dimple. I looked at myself in the mirror, and my eyes went wide. The dress fit every curve perfectly, and it was easy to walk in with minimal train to get caught on anything. "It's perfect.." I whispered, and Octavia looked like she was about to cry. "I told you we'd find it." She grinned, and she helped me to get it off so I could go buy it. I was practically bouncing as we waited at the register for the cashier to finish ringing up the dress. We gave her the money, and took Octavia took the box as we walked to the door, where we saw Bellamy waiting, a smile on his face.
I stood in front of the mirror, pulling at the collar of the dress shirt as someone measured me for a jacket. I couldn't stand tight collars, but this was for Clarke, and besides, after the actual ceremony part I could unbutton the collar. After about 30 painstaking minutes, we managed to get the right suit measurements, and he scheduled for me to have it picked up the day before the wedding. I handed him the money, and walked out of the door, stopping when I saw Clarke and Octavia paying for a dress, and I smiled. I leaned against a lamp post by the shop to wait, crossing my legs over each other as I watched Clarke bouncing with excitement at the register. My smile grew when she handed the lady the money, and they almost, but not quite, skipped towards the door. I didn't think it was possible but Clarke's smile brightened even more when she saw me, and she bounced over to me. "I got the ddrreess" She sang, hugging me around my waist and resting her chin on my chest so she could look up at me with those big blue eyes. "I saw. I can't wait to see it on you." I smiled down at her, and gave her a peck on the lips. "Not till the wedding though." She stated firmly, and I laughed a little. "Sure thing honey." I smiled, and wrapped my arms around her waist as I kissed her again. "Get a room." Octavia coughed out, and I grinned at her, before making a huge show and shoving my tongue into Clarke's mouth. "Eww Bell!" She squealed, pushing me back, but laughing anyway. "Aww, you love it." I grinned at her, wiggling my eyebrows. "But I'll never admit it." She sang, and skipped off with Octavia. I smiled after her, and followed a little ways behind. Oh, this was going to be so much fun. For both of us.
There's your update guys! I did the first part before school, then did the rest after that. I had to suffer through school with a cold because I can't skip a day to be sick then be able to skip two days and go down to Florida. Fun fun! My head is killing me right now, and I've been sneezing all day. Life sucks x.x
Anyway, Happy Update!
