Broken Reflections

Chapter 34

"Of course. That would be great." I nod at him.

I can feel Sadie shifting uncomfortably in her seat besides me. I know she is mad right now.
To make her more mad I touch Devin's hand and smile.

He looks at his hand and then at me, He smiles back. The tiny dimple doesn't form.

Sadie clears her throat.
That's what you get for going through my stuff.

❥❥❥❥

I'm sitting on the couch, my eyes are completely focused on the IPad in my hand.

The stylus moves on the screen.
He comes downstairs, the scent of his perfume meets my nose.

I look up at him and then look away immediately.
He looks so good.

He's wearing his black leather jacket. He walks towards the door and leaves.

There's a race today, he's going there.
I should get ready too. I walk upstairs to my room and put my IPad on the nightstand.

I go into my closet and try to decide what to wear. I have a red A line dress with velvet fabric as one option and I have a pair of jeans and a jacket as another option.

I have no idea what to choose. Just then my phone rings.
Maria is calling me. I pick it up. "Hello?"

"I'm on my way, I hope you're ready."

"Maria, I can't decide what to wear." I say.

"I'm coming and then we'll decide." She says.

"Okay." I say and end the call.

After about five minutes she arrives and comes into my room. She walks into my closet and looks at me.

"So, what are our options?" She smiles and asks me.

I hold my red dress in one hand and jacket in the other. "These two."

"Okay, let's see." She takes the jacket and see it. "If we look at the weather then the jacket is better."

She takes the dress and looks at it. She smiles and then looks at me. "The dress."

"But what if I get cold, it's a little short, you know" I say.

"You can wear sheer tights, come on." She says. "And let me tell you, you will look extra hot in this dress." She hands me the dress. "I bet Devin won't be able to take his eyes off of you."

I laugh at what she just said because that's absurd. "Oh, come on. You're making me delusional."

"I'm serious. You are wearing this dress." She smiles. "No more arguing."

I roll my eyes and smile back. "Fine."

❥❥❥❥

I look at my reflection. The velvet dress ends on my upper thighs. She was right I do look extra hot.

"Wear red lipstick."

"No." I shake my head. "Not happening."

"Rose! Come on!" She takes the lipstick from my dresser and hands it to me.
