I felt like I was in a movie. And that tonight really was about to be the best night of my life.
But before I reached the bottom step, my father stepped in my path.
“No,” he said firmly. “Absolutely not. Go change.”
“Dad.”
“You’re half naked. Try again.” He waved in Axel and Jacob’s general direction. “Don’t look over here!”
“But...Dad! Mom already said it was okay.”
“Everyone out!” my dad yelled. “Penny!” He looked over his shoulder at my mom. “Weren’t you with her when she picked this out? What is this?”
“James.” My mom walked over and wrapped her hand around his arm. “Most of the dresses were like this. It’s just the style this year.”
“This isn’t a dress,” he said. “The last time I checked, dresses were one piece. Not two. This is...this is a bathing suit.”
“Hardly,” I said.
Liam chose that moment to walk down the stairs. He looked at me and laughed. “Now who’s dressed like a slut?”
“Liam Hunter!” my dad yelled. “Do not call your sister a slut!”
“She literally calls me a slut all the time,” Liam said. “I’m just saying...I’m fully clothed right now.”
He was wearing a tux. But that’s because that’s what he was supposed to wear. This was what I was supposed to wear.
“Uncle James,” Sophie said. “Scarlett’s dress is just like mine. Only mine’s sheer. At least hers is solid.”
Uncle James glared at Sophie. More of her stomach was showing. And her dress was basically see-through. It was the same color as her tan skin and had some black geometric designs on it that covered anything super inappropriate. But still. And hers had a plunging neckline. My neckline actually went to my neck. It was full coverage, minus a little of my stomach and the long slit for my leg. I tucked my leg back under my skirt.
“Well, you should change too. You can both borrow something from Penny’s closet. Back up the stairs. Now.”
“Mom’s boobs are practically out,” I said and pointed to the deep V of her dress. “Is that what you want me to wear?”
“Yeah, you’d look good in that too,” RJ said.
“Perv, you’re not helping,” Sophie said.
My dad turned to RJ. “Where the hell did you even come from, RJ? No one knocked on the door.”
RJ shrugged.
I had a feeling he’d come through the secret lair entrance.
“James,” Penny said firmly. “Scarlett didn’t say that very eloquently.” She gave me a hard stare. “But she’s right. She could find worse in my closet. And we both know it.”
“But you’re anadult!”
“They’re practically adults too.”
He shook his head. “Practically is a key word there. Herteacherswill be there, Penny. This is entirely inappropriate.”
I was wondering if he was worried about one teacher in particular...
“James, it’s too late for them to both find new dresses.”
“They’ll have to go dressed as sluts,” Liam said.
