"Why would you wear that?" Joan asked me as if what I was wearing was hideous but sincerly it wasn't really nice

"Its not that bad" I whinned

"Nope... it's the worst" she concluded as she stood up and moved towards my opened boxes and wardrobe. It's at times like this I miss Maya, I would dump the whole burden of what to wear on her and she would handle it all and still make me look gorgeous but now all i had was Joan whose style was a bit too revealing for me

"How about this one?" She held up a pink silk body con up and i immediately shook my head before she tossed it aside

"I need something mature, something elegant, something appealing something..."

"Revealing" she interrupted as she folded her hands across her chest while she listened to me "Give me a sec"

She went back to the boxes and wardrobe and every single thing she brought out was not it. I sighed at the last gown she pulled up then she threw her hands in the air and let it clap her hips saying " I give up. .there's nothing here for your date with Jamie, Ivy" she collapsed on my bed "absolutely nothing "

I huffed "what are we going to do now?"

"I don't know let me think" she said with her hands on her face as I regretted more of why Maya wasn't here then she sat up her face bright as the grin emoji on my phone and grinned "I've got an idea"

It was 11:43PM when we left the house to the Mall, it took us about 30 minutes to find it and i thought it would be closed by now but the place was bubblng. Customers walked out of the entrance smiling and chatting amongst themselves while carrying shopping bags and the loud music propelled some to dance. I silently prayed that we would find what we were looking for here.

"Welcome to A là bèlle, how can we help you?" The blonde on the front desk greeted while smiling and trying to look polite, I waved at her while Joan talked with her.

To be perfectly honest, this was the first time I was going shopping without Maya, my mom or some stylist so I didn't know how to handle anything so I was glad when the blonde girl I got to find her name was Arabelle from her name tag ushered us further in to the store. It wasn't as big as my closet back at home and i could swear my clothing were more than the ones in this store but then even in a million clothes I couldn't still pick one out for a simple dinner.

She handed us over to another brunette who was really beautiful and has this gothic look even in her store uniform. Meg as her colleague called motioned us to seat as she introduced herself

"Welcome to A la belle once again, I am Meg and I'm here to grant you your heart desires" she smiled "so what are you looking for today?"

"A Dress" I growled feeling a little frustrated despite her charming spirit

"Isn't that obvious ivy?" Joan looked at me quizzically and i rolled my eyes "Meg darling listen here she has a date with a really fine lad and since she hasn't been laid" I gasped at her statement feeling embarrassed as Meg flushed trying to hide a smile but Joan shunned me off by continuing speaking without even looking at my reaction" we want something that says innocent, sexy and ready"

"No, I want Elegant, simple and beautiful" I corrected

"Oh common shush your mouth" Joan pegged my mouth closed with her fingers causing Meg to chuckle "I didn't drive all the way here for elegant simple and beautiful " she mimicked me pouting her lips like spongebob, I was about to pegs hers with my fingers before she turned to meg and sighed "We want a gown that says elegant, mature,sexy and unique"

I relaxed at her words and even if my lips were still between her fingers I smiled. Meg took a complete 5 minutes before returning to us smiling and in her hands were a stack of dresses on hangers. I gulped empty air as I thought about changing on and on till I get the perfect one.

I stood up and took off my te-shirt picked the first dress and moved into the changing room, there I pulled my skinny jeans and wore the dress. It was a cream halter gown with diamond waistband. It was simple.. too simple but I still showed them
"Too simple" Joan commented and tossed another one at me
.I walked back in quietly

This black body con dress has no hands and stopped immediately after by butt hdt on my thighs'i'm so not wearing this"

"Nope" they both shake their heads before Joan said she wanted it so i tossed it to her grateful of her too revealing taste.

"To princessy"

"Too revealing"

"Too powerful"

"What are you? Mary Magdalene?" Megan replied to a white dress with puffy shoulders, she was eating Doritos and drinking Pepsi as I realised I had worn six gowns and one left to go, I wore the last one.

I was pretty impressed, the navy blue dress really pulled the trick. It has spagetti hands and didn't open much of my chest area, it accentuated my waist and flowed down hugging my butt a little. The slit at the left top of my thighs added a little sexiness to it, I found myself smiling.

"Well, how is it?" I asked calling the attention of Meg and Joan who were going over a fashion magazine

"Oh my Gosh!" Meg gasped " you look amazing" I smiled at her and turned to Joan who had a smirk on her face

"I think we are good to go"
