Stronger, With Or Without You

13~Take my hand(1)

I rolled my eyes, "come on guys! I'm tired"

Didi glared at me, "none of this would be happening if you wore a dress that's not black"

Alex threw a dress at me, "try this one"

I looked at the dress in disgust, "I'm going to a ball not a strip club Alex"

Colette tugged her hair in frustration, "what are we gonna do"

"I know what you can wear" Jake perked up from where he was seating.

Everyone except Addison looked at him in confusion.

"No Jake" she said sternly.

"Come on babe" he begged her.

"What are you guys talking about?" Didi asked.

"The new dress Addi's been working on" he said excitedly.

"You make dresses?" I asked her.

She turned pink, "no, I don't. I just like messing around with fabric sometimes"

"Are you kidding me? Her works are fantastic, remember that suit I wore for homecoming last year?" Jake beamed.

Alex jaw dropped, "I thought you said a top designer made that?"

Jake took Addi's hand, "she is a top designer" he grinned.

"That's amazing Addi" Colette smiled.

"Can we see?" Didi asked

"I-I don't-" she stuttered.

We all looked at her with pleading faces and Jake pecked her cheek, "please babe?"

She sighed, "fine"

We all whooped in excitment. I grinned, "thanks Adds"

"Whatever" she mumbled and got up.

"Come on guys lets go" Colette said excitedly.

We told the boys to go home (they weren't even invited in the first place)

Addison went with Jake to get the dress after describing to Didi what type of shoe and accessories to get.

I and Colette decided to head back to my place where we agreed to all meet up and get me ready.

"So what is this exactly?" I eyed the tub filled with a purple substance.

"Its a skin care lavender bath, now get in! Its already 4 o'clock" Colette scolded and left the bathroom.

After a while I started getting really tired, "hey Colette how lo...." I dozed off.

"Steph!!" A peircing voice screamed in my ear and I screamed in suprise.

Colette, Didi and Addison looked at me like I'd lost my mind.

"I can't believe you fell asleep in a bath" Didi said.

"How long have I been in here?" I mumbled tiredly.

Colette checked her watch, "about an hour"

I blinked away my sleep, "can I come out now?"

"Yeah" she grinned and left the room with the others.

I rolled my eyes. All this for a ball? Imagine when I get married, Colette would wrap me in tinfoil for 3 hours.

I got out and wrapped myself in my black fluffy robe.

I entered my room with a yawn, "alright-"

I was cut off by Didi grabbing me and pulling me to a chair. "No time to waste girl!"
