Chapter Thirty-Two (32)

"So, when are you telling him?"

"I don't know, yet but it'll be good. What I know is, Alex and Keith will not be together. Not as long as I have this unexpected visitor on my side." I patted my stomach.

Alex's P.O.V.

"This will look so cute on you!" Catherine gushed pushing the overpriced blue dress toward me.

"But look at the price!"

"It'll bring out your eyes. I'll pay for it."

"I won't let you pay for this money for a dress I'll only wear once." I said shaking my head. The dress was stunning it was a pretty aqua blue dress that reached just below the knees. The upper part of it was an elegant wrap, the sleeves stopped at the elbows. Catherine ignored me and put the dress on the cashier desk. The woman scanned the dress and smiled at Cat as if she was about to degrade her.

"Dear, this dress is six hundred and thirty two dollars. Not six dollars and thirty two cents. Sears is right around the corner and--"

"I want that dress. I know how much it costs, thank you for your concern." Catherine said with venom in her voice.

"Of course madam."

"Where do I swipe my card?"

The cashier pointed to a small machine to her left and Cat quickly registered her card then handed me the dress. Once out of earshot I promised her, "As soon as the dance is over I'll return this."

Cat ignored me again and turned to the store on her side, "Look at these shoes! I must have them! Do you think they come in white?" Without waiting for my reply Cat took my hand and ushered me inside.

"How much did you guys buy?!" Josh, Catherine's boyfriend, gasped when he saw the dozens of bags that we were holding.

"Catherine did all the buying. I only have one dress here, courtesy of her." I said as Catherine walked over to Josh and gave a quick kiss on the lips. They were the perfect couple, something I hoped Keith and I could get half an amount to.

"Guys, all these things are important of use."

"You bought a five hundred dollar purse." I commented

"That's Chanel! I could use that!"

"It's not my money," Josh said getting in the car as Cat and I followed. The ride back home was about half an hour long. It seemed longer though with Catherine belting out the lyrics to every song that came out the radio. 

The dance was in a few short days, at first I had vowed not to go but with both Keith and Catherine'spersistence I had to say yes just to get them to shut up. "Would you rather be blind or deaf?" Joshua asked randomly as we made a turn at the light.

"Deaf, I have to see my surroundings or I'll be to suspicious of people. I can always learn sign language." I said.

"Blind. I have to hear things." Catherine commented and put her finger up for emphasis that was important. "Did you know I have a love-life plan?"

"Really, and what is that?" Josh asked.

"After college I'll fall in love with a colleague and he'll propose on Christmas Eve at 11:59, and then I'll say yes promptly at 12:00 Christmas Day. We'll get married Valentine's Day and my first child has to be a honeymoon baby." she said proudly. I wondered how she could be some care-free with telling Joshua behind the lines that she wouldn't think of marrying him. He seemed unfazed though.

"Why am I not surprised?" he asked, parking in front of Catherine's dorm building.

"Come Alex. We must go over how you must look for the dance, let's go." Catherine demanded stepping out the car. Rolling my eyes I opened the door and walked out, helping Cat with half the bags she had and walking in the building. God, take my life now I pleaded as I prepared to enter Catherine's world of perfect barbies.
