Ahhhhh 50K! Someone pinch me because I think I'm dreaming!

That was it, Isabella was ready to strangle Jessica who was rejecting every single dress, she can't seem to set her mind on one thing, she was dragging Isabella and Ellie to every shop in the mall. They all were her to buy Jessica a perfect wedding dress along with bridesmaid dress for Isabella and Megan and also a dress for Ellie to wear to the wedding. You heard right, Jessica's and Kevin's wedding was in two weeks which was not far away and they had whole lot shopping and preparations to do. Megan strictly refused to tag along with them to shopping because she knew how Jessica tends to get whenever she goes to mall.

"Jess, just decide one already. I'm hungry" Isabella whined

"Bella, I can't choose. None of them are good enough" Jessica said

"Are you kidding me? This shop is full of wedding dresses and all the dresses are beautiful, just hurry up and set your mind on one dress please" Isabella said as she was clearly irritated

"Okay fine, we'll come back tomorrow let's go now" Jessica said but Isabella quickly stopped her

"I'm not gonna come with you tomorrow" Isabella said in a dead serious tone

"So let me buy now" Jessica said grinning as she went towards the dresses and Isabella and Ellie sat down

"What's up, Ellie?" Isabella asked

"Nothing" Ellie said

"No, tell me"

"It's just that I haven't even seen Carson after that k-kiss, does he think I was not good enough?" Ellie said looking down

"Shut up, silly. The boy clearly likes you and I'm sure he's busy with his work that's why he's not paying a visit" Isabella said

"You think he likes me?" Ellie asked as her eyes glistened

"Yep" Isabella said

"Thanks, Bella. You're the best" Ellie hugged Isabella and they waited for Jessica to be done with the dress shopping as she was trying every single dress and it was surely going to take a long time.

*~*

While Jessica was busy trying dresses, Isabella managed to buy herself and Megan a dress too. Her dress' front was made up of lace, stones and beads which reached till the upper waist and was separated from the lower flowy white cloth by a thick gold belt. The sleeves reached till the shoulder and the dress was white colored. Megan's dress was baby pink colored and it was also a long dress while Ellie's dress was sky blue colored.

"Bella, I think this is the one" Jessica said as she walked out of the try room

"Whatever we're not gonna stay here one more minute" Ellie said as she was slumped down on her chair and her eyes closed. Isabella eyed Jessica's dress and it was really breathtaking

"It looks beautiful, Jess" Isabella said "You should buy it" she continued as Jessica walked back into the try room to change. She paid for the dress and they got out of the shop.

"Fin-fucking-ally" Ellie said once they walked out of the store

They all decided to have lunch at the restaurant which was near the mall. After they had their lunch they walked again into the mall to find Jessica some 'perfect' shoes as she quoted it.

Shopping was something Isabella didn't like too much but it was something that she didn't dislike too much too. She couldn't even think how the heck was shopping supposed to ease and comfort someone's mind because she found that comfort and pleasure in reading because it helped her to escape out the worries of the real world and to make her drown in the pleasurable experience of finding out new things.

As they walked into the shoe shop, Jessica started searching for shoes and tried every single one of them. Isabella didn't even bother to shop for shoes as she already had silver heels at home and Megan had pink heels too.

Finally, after half an hour of whining and searching, Jessica bought herself two pair of heels one was white and one was red. Then she dragged Isabella and Ellie to Victoria's secret shop claiming that she needed lingerie for uhm the wedding night. Shopping for lingerie was a little awkward but they passed through that anyways. The day was finally over and they all went to Jessica's house because she insisted them on staying for dinner. In all that chaos, Isabella managed to buy Jessica a makeup kit as a wedding gift which she knew Jessica would adore. Ellie also bought Jessica a branded perfume as a wedding gift.


Kevin, Seth and Thiago were also busy buying Kevin a suit too. Thiago and Kevin were close friends too so he was also invited to the wedding

"Hey, Seth" Thiago said once they entered the shop

"Yeah?" Seth said, his eyes roaming around the store

"Will Valerie be there at the wedding too?" He asked

"Yeah but why did you ask? I thought you both hated each other's guts" Seth said as he helped Kevin choosing the outfit

"We do and I was just asking" Thiago said earning a nod from Seth but he didn't look convinced with his reply. Seth ignored his friend's weird behavior and helped Kevin in choosing his suit. After 15 minutes of watching and roaming around in the whole store, Kevin decided to buy a suit whose pants were black colored and the shirt and coat were white colored. They also bought a black tie to go with the tie. As for shoes, they went for simple and branded black shoes. They also bought some other stuff like watch. They had dinner in the nearby restaurant and left for their own houses.

Seth managed to buy Kevin a branded watch as a wedding gift while Thiago bought him a branded perfume.






Once reaching Jessica's home, Isabella helped Jessica to prepare Alfredo for dinner while Ellie refused to help as Magic Mike was airing on TV and she couldn't leave Channing Tatum. Her words.

"So, are you excited?" Isabella asked Jessica while stirring the mixture

"I am but I'm a little nervous too" Jessica replied

"It's natural because it's your first time getting married and all" Isabella said smiling

"I know right, well how do you know about wedding nervousness being natural and all?"

"I tend to read a lot of novels so I got the idea of how would it feel like to get married. The ones I read in books is quite imaginary and all but this is real and I can feel how you would be feeling right now" Isabella said

"You're right, I'm so damn nervous but I'm happy too at the same time because I'm marrying the one whom I love with all my heart and I'm glad I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him as he will be officially mine" Jessica said smiling

"I'm happy for you and I hope I'll be able to get this feeling of marrying the one whom I would love too" Isabella said

"Don't sorry, you'll meet your prince charming soon too" Jessica said teasingly as she served the food and they all ate together in peace.

So I am going to write Thiago and Valerie's story but I need name suggestions. The ones that I have are 'Burning Desire' and 'Lasciviousness'. So suggest me some names please and I'll dedicate my next chapter to that person whose' suggestion for my new book's name would please me.


And Ramadan Mubarak to all of my Muslim brothers/ sisters.
