Brothers Best Friend
Chapter 5
“How’s this?”
Danielle repeated again, probably for the fifth time today. We were at the dress store, and I and Danielle were trying to find some dresses. Luckily for me, I wasn’t so picky, so I picked a few simple dressed out off the first rack I laid my eyes onto. But for Danielle, it was a different story. She probably had at least ten dresses lying across her arm when I found my three, and was practically dragging Liam to the back of the store. I peeked out from behind the curtain that separated me and the rest of the store. I watched as Liam stared at Danielle with her flirty blush pink fitted dress on. Ugh.
“Danielle you look beautiful,”
Liam said, breathless, still staring at her. I tuned back around and looked at the dress on me, sighing. No way could I compete with her. But, it was worth a shot. I moved the curtain out of my way and stepped out towards them. When Liam laid his eyes on my black dress, he smiled.
“Ashley that looks awesome.”
He said, nodding up and down as he approved my dress. When Danielle looked at me, she bit her lip, clearly jealous. Lucky for me I had curves in the right places.
“Ash, babe, you look perfect in that dress!”
She plastered a smile on her lips, but I could see the flare of anger in her eyes.
“I’m going to try another one.”
Danielle turned back to Liam and leaned down to kiss his cheek. As she laid her lips on his, I watched her open her eyes and glare at me. Clearly Liam was her territory.
“I’ll try my next one too.”
I turned around and walked back into my changing room, taking out my next one. I picked out my next dress, which was a nice unfitted one that was something that would show off my tan legs quite nicely. I and Danielle spent the next hour trying to step up the game, choosing the best dress we thought that Liam liked. I usually wasn’t so aggressive, but something about Danielle today just made me snap. Finally, I was ready to put up a white flag in surrender.
“I think I like this one.”
I said, looking down at the dress I had on. It was a light purple one, and I thought it was just perfect. It wasn’t fitted, but a nice dress that flared a little at the bottom.
“Me too, it looks great on you.”
I was surprised how Liam couldn’t see me and Danielle practically sharpening our nails, getting ready to fight over him, but he just saw his best friend and girlfriend trying on dresses.
“I like mine too.”
Danielle chose a dress that was a short dress, black on top and light beige on the bottom. Of course it was short and flirty, perfect for the image she was going for. We went up to the cashier and bought them, walking out into the warm summer breeze that blew by us. We slipped on sunglasses and walked to Liam’s car, then drove out onto the street.
“The dresses you guys picked were perfect for each of you.”
Liam’s eyes met mine in the mirror and before I turned away, he smiled at me. I saw that Danielle reached over and set her hand on his leg, rubbing up and down. She was torturing me, and she knew it.
“So, I’ll come over tonight at 7 ok?”
She whispered in a sexy voice, pretending like I wouldn’t be able to hear. She kissed his cheek softly as she got out of the car, sashaying up the driveway and to the door. When we pulled back out, I hopped into the front seat.
“Save it for tonight Payne.”
I said, motioning over at his flushed face and tight grip on the wheel. He chuckled and as he parked into my driveway, I reached over to grab my bag. But before I noticed him trying to be a gentleman, my hand brushed his. I instantly pulled it away, like it stung. My face was red hot when he said “I got it,” grabbing my bags and getting out of the car. We walked up the driveway, my arms wrapped around my arms to keep the shivers down, which were not from the coldness. All I could see was Danielle’s face when I walked out in that dress I bought, the look of almost defeat. Liam was clearly off limits for me. Well, two could play at the game.
