“I guess we should, besides we need to get you something as well.”
“Okay, let’s go then.”
We quickly put on some clothes and Alessia texts Elio to get the car ready for us. Within half an hour we’re driving onto Rodeo Drive. I’m amazed by all the luxury stores and feel completely out of place here. Elio stops the car in front of the Dior store and we step out off the car. I feel underdressed to say the least but Alessia doesn’t seem bothered by it at all. We walk inside and immediately we are greeted by the store manager. We take place on one of the couches and somebody hands us both a glass off champagne.
I lean over to whisper in Alessia’s ear, “Is it always like this?”
She laughs and nods, putting her hand on the inside of my thigh to reassure me.
Staff members bring out different dresses from throughout the store. Alessia stands and carefully assesses them. I know she has a vision in mind and I hope we can find it before tomorrow. These are all light-colored dresses that will make her skin fall flat.
“We need darker colors.” I blurt out. A blush creeps up my neck, I can’t believe I just did that, it’s not like I own the place.
Alessia winks at me and says. “Yeah, I think we do. And if you don’t mind, please get those couture items you have in the back.”
The manager blinks in surprise. “We don’t have those here in the store Ma’am.” He replies.
“Yes,you do andwewould like to see them. We are not coming here for off the rack stuff.” She stares him down until he nods at his employee’s to go get them.
“Thank you.” Alessia says with a stone-cold face before she sits back down beside me. After a few minutes, staff members walk in with about ten gorgeous gowns, most of them are dark colored just like Alessia wants.
“I would like to try on the black lace one and then the dark blueish green one.” She tells the manager and they both walk over to the dressing room. It takes a while before Alessia walks back out again. She goes to stand on the pedestal in front of the mirrors. She’s wearing the black lace one first. It’s a formfitting lace bodice with sleeves that covers only the parts that need to be covered. The skirt is a poofy mix of chiffon and lace that makes her look regal.
“Wow, you look amazing!” I say in awe of the woman who’s standing before me.
“I do like it very much but it feels like it’s missing something.”
“Like what? Your crown? You look fucking regal in that one.”
“Yeah, but does it scream badass queen? I’ll try on the dark blueish green one next.”
She walks back into the dressing room to try on the next one. I walk over to a silver dress that’s been screaming my name since the second they brought it out. It’s completely formfitting with tiny sparkles all over. The deep cut V-neck, open back and split on the side make it look so sexy.
“You should try it on.” I hear Alessia say behind me.
I let out a laugh “I can’t afford a five-thousand-dollar dress on a nurse salary… If I’m even still a nurse after this week.”
“I know, but I can.” She replies.
“You are not spending this much money on me!”
“If you want the dress then, yes, I am. You do need something to wear for tomorrow. Go try on that dress!”
One of the staff members already takes the dress and walks over to the dressing room for me. I let out a sigh and walk over to her. A few minutes later I walk out in this amazing dress. Alessia lets out a gasp.
“You look fucking edible, Tesoro!”
I walk over to stand beside her and we just take a minute to look at ourselves. Her, in that dark navy-blue dress with a V-neck that almost reaches her navel. The shoulders have small, capped sleeves that transition into a long train, it’s almost like she’s wearing a cape. Me in this stunning dress that makes it look like I’m shimmering. I feel so fucking hot in this dress.
“Wow, we look amazing.” I say.
“We need shoes.” Alessia tells the manager and he brings out multiple pairs of heels for us to try.
“I’m getting you this dress. You better get used to me spoiling you.” Alessia states and then she kisses me so deeply. This dress is so thin it I can feel her body heat like I’m standing in front of her naked. Butterflies erupt in my stomach.
Back in the car we decide on what to eat for dinner and a movie. Tomorrow will be exhausting so we both don’t feel going out to dinner tonight. Alessia calls Carmen to let her know what she can prepare. When we walk into the apartment there’s a black box waiting on the kitchen counter where Carmen is already busy preparing the food.
“This came while you two were away. It doesn’t say who it’s from but the delivery guy said you’d know who it was from.”, Carmen says as Alessia walks over to it.
