(Ethan's Point of View)
The moment she steps out in that dress my eyes go wide. God, she looked amazing. It was like the dress was made for her and her only. It hugged all her curves and the dress colour compliments her skin tone.
The dress just seemed perfect for her. I open my mouth to say something but the only thing that comes out is 'Holy Shit' in a whisper. God, holy shit was right. The dress looked even more amazing on her then I had pictured.
I swear I am not stepping out of this store until we buy this dress. I know how stubborn Lia can be, but even I can be very stubborn.
"So.. How is it?" She asks as she looks up at me. "How is it? God, the dress looks perfect on you. We are getting it and no buts. Now go change so we can buy the dress." I say as I walk up to her. "But-" I cut her off by placing my lips on hers.
I kiss her for a few seconds before pulling away and raising an eyebrow. "What did I say no buts. Now go change." I say in a stern voice. She opens her mouth to say something but closes it once she sees the expression on my face.
She mumbles something under her breath as she walks to the trial room and closes the door to change.
Amelia comes out a few minutes later in the clothes she was wearing before and the dress hanging on her arm. "Come on, let's go pay." I say as I take her free hand. "Ethan this dress is too expensive, maybe we can split the bill?" She says as we walk to the register. "Nope. I told you I am paying." I say as we reach the counter.
I take out my wallet and open it for my credit card and from the corner of my eyes I see Lia doing the same thing. "Lia I said no. I am paying." I say as I put my wallet back into my back pocket. "And I said we are splitting the bill." She says as she gives the lady her card.
Before the lady can take the card from Lia I snatch it from her hand and give her mine instead with an innocent smile on my face. "Ethan! Give me my card back!" She hisses as she tries to get it out of my hand. "No." I say simply as I see the lady slide my card.
The receipt starts to print out of the machine and she hands my card and receipt to me. "Have a good day!" The lady smiles before handing me the bag with the dress in it.
"Thank you." I smile and take the bag and take Lia's hand ignoring the glare she is giving me. The moment I walk out of the store Lia pulls her hand away from mine. I look back at with a questioning look which she returns to with a glare.
A deadly glare which makes her look hot.
Shut up Ethan! For all you know she could kill you right now and you notice how hot she looks?!
"Ethan why didn't you let us split the bill?" She asks, with the glare still present on her face. "I told you I was going to pay." I shrug. "Yeah, but that was so expensive we could have split the bill." She argues. I sigh and take her hand again and start walking. "I wanted to pay so I did. Now let's stop arguing and have some more fun okay?" I say without looking back at her. "Fine. But this is the first and last time you do something like this." She says. "We'll see about that." I say as we walk towards the other stores.
I see Amelia sigh from beside me as she walks behind me. "Where do you wanna go next?" I ask. "I don't know. I need to buy my lotion again, let's go to bath and body works." She suggests. "Yeah sure... Now where would that be?" I mumble the last part.
I honestly don't know what is where in the mall, I barely come to this place. I usually just come here with Lia.
I hear Amelia giggle from behind me as she starts walking in the other direction, dragging me behind her. She leads me to the escalator and we reach the top floor. She walks forward and we pass a few stores before she pulls me into a store, which I believe is Bath and Body works.
The moment we enter the store the smell of lavender and other fragrances crawl up my nose. So this is that kind of store. The store with a bunch of scented stuff that girls like, but is actually too scented and makes you want to gag by the amount of scented stuff you smell.
Amelia removes her hand from mine and starts walking deeper into the store, to the corner shelf where I believe are the lotions. I stand behind her as she starts looking through the shelves for whatever she is looking for.
I see her crane her neck up and sigh. "What's wrong?" I ask with furrowed eyebrows. "The lotion I use is all the way on the top shelf." She says as she gets on her tip-toes and tries to get the lotion of the top shelf.
I laugh at her attempts to get the lotion, only for her to turn towards me and glare at me. I then easily get the lotion down for her and hand it to her with a smirk. "The perks of being tall." She mumbles as she takes it from my hand.
She then starts walking to the cash register and gives the lady behind the counter the lotion before looking for her card in her wallet.
"Where is my card?" She asks as she looks at me.
"I don't know." I shrug even though it's in my back pocket.
"Ethan." She narrows her eyes at me. I shrug and hand the lady my card. "Ethan you already paid for me!" She hisses. "It's fine." I say as the lady gives my card back to me. "How much do I owe you?" She mumbles with a sigh. "You owe me nothing and here is your card." I say with a cheeky smile as I give her her card back.
"Asshole." She mumbles as she takes her card back with a glare.
~~~
We have just come back from the mall and are in Amelia's room. "Do you think this will look good with the dress?" She asks as she takes out another purse.
I haven't seen so many purses in my entire life!
God how do they even fit in her closet.
"Yeah." I grumble not even looking at it. "At least look at it!" She says. "Lia, baby you're making a too big deal out of this dinner. Is there something wrong? You never act like this." I say.
It's true. She is acting all nervous and it's kinda scaring me.
She sighs and sits next to me on her bed. "I am nervous. Your mom... she trusted me to this whole dinner thing. I don't want to do anything to disappoint her or David. It's that for the first time I have so many people who care about me and I don't want to screw it up." She says in a soft voice.
She is feeling insecure again. I sigh and pick her up and place her on my lap and turn her around so that she is straddling me. "Baby, listen you won't mess up. Mom has faith in you and so does Dad. You won't screw this up and if anything happens I will be right there." I say as I take both her hands in mine. She looks at me before nodding her head slightly. I smile at her and peck her lips before falling on my back, making her fall on top of me.
She giggles as she tries to get off me but I only tighten my hold on her. "Ethan." She whines and giggles at the same time trying to get my hands off her.
"Kids come down for lunch!" Grandma yells from downstairs.
"Coming." I say as I let go of Amelia.
She gets off me and runs out the room, me following after her.

(Amelia's Point of View)
It's currently 6:55 pm and I am looking through my closet to find all the stuff I need to complete my outfit. So far I have the dress, the nude heels, a bracelet and earrings. Now I just need a purse. I look through all the different purses I have until my eyes land on a particular nude-beige coloured purse. The purse is a few shades darker than the heels and when I picture it on my outfit it looks amazing.
I take it out with a smile on my face and put it on my bed with all my other accessories. "We are bored," I hear both the brothers say in usion as they enter my room with their shoulders slumped and a frown on their faces.
Both of them jump onto my bed. Ethan jumping on my ironed dress and Adrian jumping on my jewelry. My eyes go wide. "Get up! You're on my dress! And you're on my jewelry!" I say frantically pointing my finger at both of them. "What?" They ask in usion again, confusion all over their faces. "GET UP!" I yell.
Both of them jump off the bed, their eyes wide at my sudden outburst. I immediately run towards the bed and kneel down and examine my dress and jewelry. My dress now has a few wrinkles on it on the top and my jewelry is, thank god, still fine.
"Ethan!" I say as I lift up my dress and get on my feet and show him the dress. "What?" He asks, looking at the dress as if trying to find something. "I just ironed this! God, everything was good until you jumped on my dress. Didn't you see it on the bed!?" I say as my voice cracks in the end.
I am just super nervous and I am hoping not to screw this up. Even after Ethan's pep talk I am feeling super nervous that it's making me want to cry.
"Baby I am so sorry. I didn't mean it. I will iron it for you, if that makes you feel any better." He says once he realises just how sad I am. "N-No it's fine. Just sit here, I will just iron this again and next time please be careful." I say as I take a deep breath.
"Okay." He says reluctantly as he sits on the other side of the bed where there is nothing.
"Mia, why are you so worried?" Adrian asks as he walks up to me as I open the mini iron table that Jullie lent me to iron my dress. "It's nothing. I am all good. See!" I say as I smile at him.
"Okay." He nods as he mirrors my smile before sitting on the bed next to Ethan.
I use the mini iron and iron my dress once more before lying it back onto my bed. "Have you picked out your outfit for the dinner yet?" I ask as I start going through my make-up bag for some lipstick that would look good on my outfit. "Yeah." Ethan says as he runs his hand through Adrian's hair, making Adrian smacks his hands away.
"What are you wearing?" I ask as I find a nude colour lipstick and open the cap to see the colour properly. "A grey suit, with a white shirt and grey dress pants. Oh and also a black belt and brown formal shoes." He says as he tries to recall his outfit.
"Hmm okay." I say as I put the lipstick back in and look for a lighter shade of nude.
Lets just say I have a lot of nude shade lipsticks. What don't blame me! Nude coloured lipstick usually goes with any outfit, well for me at least. "Baby, come on let's do something." Ethan whines. I sigh and put my makeup bag aside. "What do you guys wanna do?" I ask with a raised eyebrow as I look between both the boys.
"How about you first come here?" Ethan says as he tries to reach for me. I make my way towards the both of them and sit in the middle of them, but of course that's not enough for Ethan so he pulls me to him until my back is pressed against his chest.
"How about we all watch a movie?" Adrian suggests. "The movie will take ages to finish and we only have 40 minutes to get ready. Oh my god! We just have 40 minutes to get ready!" My eyes go wide in realization as I jump off the bed. "Okay all of you out! I need to get ready!" I say as I point towards the door.
"Lia, calm down. It's all okay and you have 40 minutes to get ready." Ethan says as he walks up to me, while Adrian leaves the room. Ethan wraps both of his hands around my waist and pulls me flush against him.
"Exactly 40 minutes and I still have to do my makeup, wear my dress and do my hair!" I reason. "It will be all fine." He says and before I can say anything else he places his lips on mine.
The moment his lips start moving against mine I forget all about my worries and insecurities. I kiss him back as my hands go up to his neck and my fingers play with the hair on the nape of his neck. I pull away once I feel the lack of oxygen.
"Now go get ready." He says with a smirk. I nod my head shyly as I move towards the bed that has my outfit. I see Ethan exit my room from the corner of my eye as I start rummaging through my makeup bag again looking for all the things I might possibly need.
~~~
I glide my lipstick over my lips and look at myself in the mirror. I am mostly done getting ready, I just have to do my hair. My makeup is light, but not super light. I have my dress on and my heels are next to the foot of my bed next to my purse.
I examine myself once more in the mirror making sure everything looks okay. I used a bit more makeup then I usually would. My cheeks have blush on them, giving them this light rosy pink shade, I have eyeliner on that is highlighting my eyes and my lashes have a bit of mascara on, my nude lipstick goes really well with my dress and earrings. I also have a bit of eyeshadow on, but not a lot to make me look like a clown, the shade of the eyeshadow is almost like my skin making it merge well.
I sigh as I look at myself and put my lipstick down. I start making a messy but elegant bun, leaving a few strands of hair on the side. After I am done with the bun I turn around a bit and look at the back of it through the mirror.
So far so good. I walk towards my bed and sit down on it and put on the nude coloured heels. I then pick up my purse and put it on my right shoulder and put in my phone, lipstick and a pack of tissues in it. What? You never know when you need them.
I stand up and wobble a bit, but stable myself using the wall on my right. God, I really need to learn to walk properly in heels. "Amelia honey are you ready?" I hear Jullie ask from downstairs. "Yes, just a second!" I say as I open my room door.
The moment I turn, I am met with a rock hard chest. I crane my head up and look at Ethan who is smiling down at me. "You look good." He says as he wraps his arms around my waist. "You look quite good yourself." I smile as I straighten his suit.
Just like he had said, he is wearing a white shirt that sticks to his body very well showing you the outlines of his amazing body. His grey suit seems to fit him perfectly showing off his biceps, the grey suit button is not buttoned to give it a bit of a casual look I guess. He also has a handkerchief in his suit pocket. His pants are the same colour of his suit and his shirt is tucked in neatly. He has a black belt on and some brown formal shoes. He is wearing a silver watch, which matches his outfit quite well. His hair is a bit messy, yet he still manages to pull the look off.
"You done checking me out?" Ethan asks with a raised eyebrow, amusement clear in his voice. "No just gimme two more minutes." I say as I look him up and down. "Amelia, Ethan! Are you coming or not? We are going to be late!" Jullie yells from downstairs. "Coming!" Ethan yells back. He looks back down at me and kisses my forehead. "Let's go," he says as he intertwined our fingers as the both of us walk downstairs.
We reach downstairs and I see David, Jullie and Adrian standing next to the main door waiting for us. Adrian is wearing a tux, the same tux he wore when he asked me out, David is wearing a navy blue suit seat with a white shirt just like Ethan and Jullie is wearing a dress the same colour of David's suit set.
"Finally! Now all of you, in the car now." Jullie says with a stern look. I and Ethan nod as we walk behind the three of them.
We make our way to David or Jullie's car, I still don't know whose car it is. Jullie takes a seat in the passenger seat while David sits in the driver seat. Adrian sits in the back in the middle, leaving both the sides empty for me and Ethan. Ethan makes his way to the right side, while I go to the left side.
We all get in the car as David starts the ignition. "Now kids, I want you all to be on your best behaviour. We are meeting Dr. Adams, he is the head and he was kind enough to invite me to dinner after surgery we performed together. He has a boy around your age Ethan, I am hoping you mingle with him." David says as he looks at Ethan through the rear view mirror. "Yeah, sure. Whatever." Ethan mumbles as he takes his phone out of his pocket.
I feel a poke on my shoulder and I look down at Adrian who is looking at me with a smile. "Hmm?" I question. "You look really pretty!" He says with a grin. "Why thank you! You look quite handsome yourself." I smile. "Really?" He asks. "Really," I nod. "Thank you!" He says cutely, I couldn't help but pinch his cheeks.
(Ethan's Point of View)
I look up from my phone and I see Adrian and Amelia interacting, both of them have smiles on their face, and I couldn't help but smile looking at them.
Lia sure has a way into people's hearts. I mean Adrian practically adores her and I am whipped over her. Even mom and dad love her and so does grandma. Mom never approved of any girl I brought home nor did grandma. The main reasons would have been because all of them were bitches who barely had manners. Even Adrian didn't like the girls who came over sometimes and none of them even looked at him, forget about interacting with them.
Mom had gotten tired of my player games. Grandma was super annoyed too, as for dad he never said anything, but looked at me in disapproval and disappointment whenever I would bring some random girl over for Thanksgiving or something. The only reasons I ever got girls home was mostly for a make-out session or either because mom insisted I bring some 'nice girl' over.
Amelia is the only girl everyone has liked. Hell, I think Adrian and mom like her more than me! "So how was your trip to the mall today?" Mom asks as she looks at me and Amelia through the rear view mirror. "It was good. I actually bought the dress I am wearing right now from there. Well more Ethan bought it." She says. "Aw, how sweet of Ethan! And you look gorgeous in the dress honey!" Mom says with a smile. "Thank you! I love your outfit too!" Amelia smiles. My mom giggles a bit before turning back to my dad as they both engage in conversation.
I look at Amelia and Adrian who are now also talking about something, well Adrian is doing all the talking, Amelia is just nodding at whatever he is saying with a smile on her face.
I look outside the window, looking at all the buildings and cars we pass by. I am gonna be honest, I am not looking forward to this dinner. I never really liked mingling with people, especially my dad's colleagues' kids. Most of my dad's colleagues' kids are stuck up rich brats and I just find them annoying, especially the girls who always try to be flirty and talk in this horribly unattractive tone which they think sounds which seductive or something, it pisses me off to no extent and in these kinds of situations I wish I were dead or deaf.
Lets see how tonight goes...
