Untold Story: Part 3

 

                We went downstairs and I grabbed my brown Northface, wallet and keys. Bekah got her purple Northface and keys and we headed outside. A cold winter breeze smacked me in the face as I climbed down the front steps. Bekah unlocked her orange Mini Cooper and grabbed her wallet from the glove compartment, and then we hopped into my dark grey Altima.
It was only 12:00 so the mall had just opened an hour ago and was still fairly empty. We headed for the nearest department store, Macy’s. We wandered over to the dress section and perused the dresses. Bekah and I each picked three dresses to try on. I had a purple strapless bandage wrap dress, a black and white sleeveless bubble dress, and a royal blue one that was tight at the torso and then flowed out at the hips. Bekah had a black scoop neck dress with short sleeves, a bandage dress that was a brighter purple than mine that had little short sleeves with a scoop neckline filled in with black lace, and a royal blue scoop neck elbow length sleeve tight mini dress.  Then we headed to the dressing rooms. The first dress I tried on was the royal blue one, I didn’t quite like the way it fit me, so I stepped out of the dressing room and asked Bekah what she thought. She was wearing the black scoop neck one and she looked amazing.
“Wow! That looks really good on you!” I exclaimed. I really did like it but she was skeptical. She also agreed that the dress I had on was not my best pick so we stepped back into our dressing rooms. Next I tried on the black and white sleeveless bubble dress. I really liked it but it wasn’t quite fancy enough for this party. I stood in front of the three panel mirror outside the dressing rooms and waited for Bekah. She came out in the bright purple bandage dress with lace on the neckline. I gasped. It was gorgeous on her!
“Oh. My. Gosh. That is the dress you are getting I don’t care what the other one looks like on you.” She looked amazing in this dress and I wasn’t about to let her pass it up.
“Okay, okay but can I at least try it on?” she asked laughing.
“Fine, if you must” I retorted, “how do you like this?” I asked her spinning around in my bubble dress.
“It’s nice, but I don’t know if it’s fancy enough...” she said in a questioning tone.
“That’s what I thought, but maybe I can get it for another occasion?” I really liked the dress and I was hoping she wouldn’t think that it was a ridiculous idea to get two dresses.
“I guess so, how much is it? If it’s over $100 then you should get it another time when you need it” Bekah was always thinking smart and that’s why I loved to bring her shopping with me, she always knew how to deal with my spending crises. It turned out that the dress was only $75 so I ended up getting it as well as the light purple bandage dress. Bekah got the purple bandage dress with the black lace and we headed to the nearest DSW.
