“I like the way this one looks on my hips,” Fallon started as she cocked her head to the side, looking herself over.
“But,” Audrey repeated.
Fallon shot her a grin before saying, “But, I don’t like the way it makes my boobs look like they are non-existent.”
“You can get a push up bra,” Audrey said, rolling her eyes.
“What’s wrong with you?” Fallon asked, shooting her a concerned look.
Audrey shrugged her shoulders, “Fallon, we’ve done this 50 times this week, I’m over it. Pick a dress. You’re gonna look hot in anything.”
Fallon narrowed her eyes as she slowly shook her head, “No, something is wrong, what is it?”
“Nothing.”
Fallon laughed, “Liar, it’s something. Tell me.”
Audrey shook her head, “No, I’m good, just pick a dress.”
Fallon eyed her before saying, “I’ll pick a dress if you tell me.”
Audrey perked up, “Really? And I’ll never have to come back?”
Fallon giggled, “Not until we come for your wedding dress.”
As if.
Audrey pushed that thought away and shrugged her shoulders. She really didn’t want to tell Fallon that she and Levi had broken up. She knew Fallon was going to be ecstatic and she wasn’t going to hide it. It was bad enough that Levi was probably happy he left; she really didn’t need to see the happiness on her sister.
But then again, she really was beginning to hate this store.
“Okay, Levi left me.”
Fallon eyes went wide as her mouth fell open. Her eyes filled with excitement as she started to bounce a little. A bright grin came across her face as she came towards Audrey, wrapping her up in her arms.
“Don’t look too excited, Fal,” Audrey muttered against her shoulder. Fallon pulled back, still a bright smile on her face. Audrey looked down and started picking at the rip in her jeans.
“Oh, sorry.”
Audrey look up to see Fallon had dropped the smile, but she was still smiling with her eyes, “You still look happy.”
Fallon giggled, “Oh I am, this is better than picking a dress, honestly.”
Audrey rolled her eyes, “I did love him you know.”
“Ah, whatever, he was the king of all douches. No big loss… on to bigger and brighter things.”
Audrey let out a frustrated breath, “I don’t agree, but that’s beside the point, pick a dress.”
Fallon did a little hop, “In a minute! When can I start fixing you up!? You need a date for the wedding!”
“No, I don’t, Aiden is my date,” Audrey said. A grin replaced her sullen look at the thought of her little guy. She loved her nephew like he was hers, and he would be the best date ever. They used to be best friends, but then Lucas came into their lives. For as much as Lucas had taken from Audrey, one would think she would hate him, but she didn’t. She couldn’t because he was the best.
“Oh well, you’ll need adult action at my wedding,” Fallon gushed, clapping her hands. She could barely move in the dress she had on. More of a reason she should pick the lace one. “Let me hook you up with Phillip Anderson. Number 13, total hottie. Bright blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, good guy.”
Audrey raised an eye brow, “I don’t know, Levi just left.”
“More of a reason to hook up with Phillip, he’s a good guy.”
Audrey shrugged her shoulder, “I don’t know.”
“Well think about it, but think quick, cause I’ll need to have Lucas ask him.”
Audrey rolled her eyes, “Yeah, yeah, come on, pick a dress.”
Fallon placed her finger to her chin, obviously still thinking. Audrey rolled her eyes at her as Fallon said, “I know for a fact that if he were older, you would love him.”
“Who?” Audrey asked as her eye brow quirked up.
“Tate, your neighbor.”
“Ahh, the infamous neighbor whom I have yet to meet. That dude is like a ninja. I only see his truck leave, and hear him playing his piano.”
Fallon smiled, “He’s a super great guy. You should go over and introduce yourself.”
“Maybe, but like you said, he’s too young.”
“Yeah, he is, oh well,” Fallon said with a shake of her head.
“Well, enough of that, what dress?” Audrey asked not only annoyed that Fallon hadn’t picked a dress, but that she hadn’t met her neighbor. Lucas and Fallon talked so highly of him, and Audrey felt like she should know him by now! It had been almost a month and half since he moved in. More than enough time to meet someone. She didn’t even know what he looked like! He was a goalie, so it was hard to tell what he looked like through all his gear. It was frustrating because she heard he was gorgeous! Audrey could have Googled him, but come on, he was her next-door neighbor, she should be able to go over and see him, for goodness sakes!
When Fallon flashed her a winning smile, distracting her from an overactive brain, Audrey smiled back. Fallon then said, “The lace one, this one is tight as all get out.”
Audrey giggled as she cheered inwardly. She never had to come back! Well, maybe to try on her dress, but maybe they could do that today? As Fallon changed back into her clothes, Audrey checked her Facebook while the workers moved around her. She made sure things were good, and that no one was dying before closing the app and looking up just as Fallon was coming out. Fallon looked so damn happy, it almost made Audrey sick. Her eyes were bright with excitement, she walked with a little more pep than usual in her step and anyone a mile away could see that she was the happiest person on earth.
“But,” Audrey repeated.
Fallon shot her a grin before saying, “But, I don’t like the way it makes my boobs look like they are non-existent.”
