“Chloe?” She smiled at me. It was wide and her teeth were showing. “Can you find something for Avaya to wear? I don’t want my mother picking her to pieces you know what she’s like.” My stomach flipped as he spoke. My eyes finally left Chlo and her assets and landed on him. He wasn’t even looking at her tits. He was looking at me. I flushed and felt him push me softly towards her.
“Oh you are going to absolutely love his mother…” Missy popped up from out of Chloe’s bathroom. This had been the first time in a while I’d seen her. Her hair looked like it had just been washed and my face must have said how I felt. Shocked? Confused. I frowned at Chloe and watched as Missy walked back into Chloe’s ensuite. I sat with my hands in my lap and watched Chloe disappear into her wardrobe. She came back out holding a beautiful deep navy blue silk dress. It was rather deep cut in the front, the straps were thin but it fell to what looked just below the knee. I grimaced and watched her laugh.
“Av, you look lovely in a bag please just try it on?” She flashed me a reassuring smile and I reached for the dress that was hanging from her hand. I rolled my eyes and made my way towards her walk in. I glanced around. It was bigger than I thought it would be, everything was colour co-ordinated just as I’d expected it to be. I ran my hands over some of the dresses in there and glanced in the mirror at my reflection. I felt frumpy. I sighed and pulled my top from over my head and shimmied out of my jeans. I placed the dress over my head and slipped it down over my hips. I stood back from the full length mirror and examined the dress. I was right it was low cut, but in a classy way. It tied in at the waist and was asymmetric. I ran my hands over my hips and exhaled. I shook my head as I looked at my reflection.
“Can I come and look?” Chlo sounded slightly excited and I watched as she came in anyway, quickly followed by Missy. “You look stunning, that colour suits you.” She was clearly smitten with her choice and I pointed towards where my knicker line was showing and she chuckled. “We can fix that later don't worry.”
“What do I do with my hair?” I questioned, my voice breaking with nerves and I studied Missy. Her arms were folded across her body.
“If I were you I’d put it up, you don’t want it looking a mess like it normally does.” She didn’t seem phased at the fact that she’d just insulted me as she walked out. I gestured towards her and watched Chlo frown.
“Ignore her she’s just jealous that you’re meeting his parents under fairly nice circumstances.” I rolled my eyes and glanced at my reflection again. The dress made my curves look bigger and I gripped my hips in my hands. “Having a figure doesn’t mean you’re fat Av? You need to learn that underneath that you have abs…” She poked my stomach and I smiled. Her words were kind and I reached to hug her. “Also, leave your hair down.” She hugged me slightly tighter. “Haz likes it down.” She pushed my shoulder playfully and I laughed before I pushed her back.
“I might just put it up then hey?” I winked at her and made my way towards her ensuite to wash and get ready for dinner with his family.
I showered and applied soft make up to my face, my hair had air dried by the time I’d finished doing my makeup. I looked at my reflection and placed the dress back over my head, this time without the bra and knickers that left a line and took a deep breath. You can do this Av… I grabbed my nude coloured lippy and made my way back into the bedroom where Chlo was finishing off her makeup with her lipstick. She looked absolutely stunning. Her hair was sleek and flat, her makeup was perfect. Smokey eyes that complimented her cherry red dress. I smiled at her and instantly felt insecure. I watched as she examined me and I flushed.
“You look lovely Chlo.” I smiled widely at her. She did. She threw a nude clutch bag my way and pointed at some bloody wonderful nude louboutins on the floor and smirked at me.
“Those are for you too.” I shook my head and felt tears prick in my eyes. I grabbed her and pulled her in close for a hug.
“Thank you.” I had never known somebody as warm and giving as this woman. I watched her smile and point towards the full length mirror in her room.
“Fancy a picture?” I flushed and watched her pull her phone out. I stood next to her as she took a few pictures of us. She finally decided on one she liked and posted it on Social Media. I stood by her door and watched her follow me.
“C’mon let’s go and meet everyone downstairs.”
They were all stood waiting in the hallway. I watched as both Jay and Haz reached out for mine and Chloe’s hands. My eyes instantly gravitated towards Haz. He was dressed in a navy suit and my heart rate spiked. My stomach flipped and I took Jay’s hand in mine. He smirked at Haz who held Chloe in his grasp.
“Seems as though Chloe has worked wonders on you too?” I examined his grey suit and nodded. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so immaculate.” I watched as his eyes ran over my face and smiled up at him. I glanced back at Chloe and Haz who were laughing at something. He seemed so comfortable around her, the way he held her wasn’t unfamiliar to me and the jealousy in me
