***CONTINUES*** ~Carlo I blinked in surprise, touched. Carlo had sent me the food? Although I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised. Who else could've done it? Curious, I reached in the bottom of the bag and pulled out…a Twix. I couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s so funny?” Parker asked, obviously baffled as to what could be so hilarious about a chocolate bar. “Nothing,” I chuckled, feeling…well, I wasn’t sure what I was feeling. But this was probably the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me. Today was just turning out to be a day of surprises. ******************** ******************** ******************** ******************** ******************** ********** “Where are you taking me?” I asked suspiciously, as Parker wound his Lamborghini down a road I’ve never been down before. “Relax, honeybee, you can trust me,” he answered cheerfully. “You’re a girl. You’ll love it.” “Honeybee?” I was appalled. “You can’t come up with a better nickname than that? Actually, can you just not call me by any nickname? It’s weird.” I perked up as a thought hit me. “Are you taking me to a spa?” “Nope.” Parker smiled slyly. “Of course, if you really want, I can give you a personal massage…” I was about to whack his arm when I decided that wasn’t the best idea, considering he was maneuvering this deathmobile of his at ninety miles per hour. “Sorry, but that’s a privilege only my real boyfriend gets to have, perv,” I said cheerily. “Ouch, that hurt.” Parker pouted. “See, that’s why I call you honeybee. You look sweet as honey but you sting like a bee.” I snorted. “How clever of you, Ricky Martin. Seriously, though, where are you taking me? I need to be back in time for dinner.” “No you don’t. I already called your mom and told her.” My jaw dropped. “What? You can’t just—just go around, calling other people’s families!” I spluttered. “Besides, I have homework!” “You’re such a nerd,” Parker complained. “Stop stressing. It’ll be fun. Besides, it won’t take that long.” He paused. “Actually, knowing Adri, it’ll take very long.” I crossed my arms over my chest, disgruntled. “What will be fun.?” Parker came to a stop and pointed at something out the window. I followed his gaze and gasped when I saw the huge, gleaming private jet idling on the tarmac we were currently parked by. “That will be.” “A jet?” I couldn’t help but be a bit awed at the sight. This was the first time I’d ever seen a private jet, up close and personal. “Why— why do we need a jet?” Parker turned off the engine. “Homecoming’s coming up and Adri decided it’s time to find an outfit,” he explained. “And since you’re my girlfriend now, you can’t exactly go to homecoming in any old dress from the mall.” I stared at him. “So where are we going?” “Relax.” He ruffled my hair. “We’re just taking a short trip to New York.” ------------------------------ ---------------------------- READ ME--------------------------- ------------------------------ ------- |

CHAPTER ELEVEN In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand- new Big lights will inspire you, let's hear it for New York ~"Empire State of Mind" Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys “You look like a pumpkin.” This came from Zack, who was lying down on the velvet bench with his head hanging off the side, and who had managed to stop playing Angry Birds on his phone long enough to throw his ever-so- astute observation at his sister. Adriana rolled her eyes. “Thanks, it’s nice to know I have such a supportive brother,” she replied sarcastically. She frowned in the mirror. The pale orange Lanvin dress did make her look a bit like a pumpkin. Albeit a skinny one. “Well, I happen to think you look like a beautiful pumpkin,” Parker told her, stifling a smile. Adriana sighed in annoyance. “How sweet of you, Parker, really, but you should save those kind of words for your girlfriend.” “Are you saying I look like a pumpkin?” Maya asked, raising her eyebrows as she turned to examine her backside in the Givenchy dress she was currently clad in. “Of course not, honeybee, you look like a work of art,” Parker assured her. “Literally.” This time, it was from a cranky- looking Roman, who looked more than a little pissed that he’d just spent the last two hours following Adriana and Maya from Bergdorf’s to Bendel’s and then finally to Barneys. His gaze swept over Maya’s black-and-white frock. “You look like that modern art shit my father hangs up in his office.” “Roman!” Adriana snapped. God, what was she going to do with him? “What?” Roman shrugged. “It’s true.” Luckily, Maya didn’t seem at all fazed. “Well, at least I’m not in a yellow Mickey Mouse shirt that makes me look like a demented banana who just escaped from Disney World,” she replied sweetly. Roman immediately turned a bright red and slumped sulkily down in his chair, but he didn’t say anything else--a fact that didn’t escape Adriana’s notice. “Huh?” Zack looked confused. He glanced at Roman’s shirt. “But he’s not wearing a yellow shirt.” “Oh, you know, I was just being hypothetical,” Maya said blithely. “Oh.” Zack’s brow creased. “Girls are weird,” he muttered. “Excuse me, Miss Perry, but here are the dresses you requested.” Tracy, one of Adriana’s favorite saleswomen at Barneys, walked in, carrying an armful of designer silk. Adriana nodded. “Thank you,Tracy. You can just hang it up right there.” Tracynodded, hanging the dresses on the rolling rack she’d brought in specifically for Adriana and Maya, before discreetly exiting. Adriana flipped through the dresses, until she found the one she was looking for. “Aha!” She pulled out the Fendi piece triumphantly. “You should try this on,” she encouraged Maya. “It’ll look amazing with your coloring.” “Really?” Maya took the dress doubtfully. “I guess…what are you going to wear? |
Re: All I've Never Wanted... A Novella by Nobody: 9:55am On Jan 01, 2015 |
***CONTINUES*** Oh, I already know which dress I’m going to wear to homecoming,” Adriana said airily, holding up the purple satin Proenza Schouler in question. “I was just shopping for some other clothes to add to my collection. Go ahead, though, try yours on!” Maya fiddled with the price tag of the beautiful silk chiffon dress. Suddenly her eyes widened. “Adriana! This is…this is almost three thousand dollars,” she exclaimed hoarsely. Adriana was a bit confused. “Yeah. It’s Fendi.” “It’s three thousand dollars? That’s kinda cheap,” Zack commented, going back to his game. “Adriana’s dresses usually run in the five thousand range.” Maya shook her head frantically. “I can’t afford this,” she protested. “The most I can spend today is five hundred, and that’s already stretching it.” She bit her lip, looking embarrassed. Adriana was appalled. “Five hundred dollars? Sweetie, that’s for a pair of sunglasses, not a homecoming dress!” She guided Maya to a dressing room. “Look, just consider it a gift from me.” “I can’t take such an extravagant gift!” Maya sounded horrified. “It’s not extravagant at all,” Adriana insisted. She lowered her voice. “Trust me, watching you rip Roman a new one was worth at least what this dress costs.” Maya snickered a bit. “Well…I don’t know…” “Just take it or I’m going to be personally offended.” Adriana crossed her arms over her chest. “Gee, how can I say no now? You’re so persuasive,” Maya joked as she reluctantly entered the dressing room. "I'm only trying this on though. I probably won't get it." Adriana smiled. If her instinct was right—and it usually was—Maya was going to kill in that dress, so much so that she would have to get it. “Good. Now my eyes can stop bleeding.” Roman’s tone was caustic. Adriana was about to scold him again but Carlo beat her to the punch. “Rome, give it a rest,” the Colombian warned. “Yeah, you need to lay off my girlfriend,” Parker added, a bit belatedly in Adriana’s opinion. Roman glared at them. “Oh, so now you’re choosing that girl over me?” “Excuse me, but ‘that girl’ is still in the room; hence, she can still hear everything you say,” Maya snapped, stepping out. The room fell silent. She blinked. “What? Do I look that bad?” she asked nervously. Adriana herself was a bit stunned, which was no small feat. “Bad?” she echoed. “Maya, you look freakin’ gorgeous!” And she did. The dress’ soft cream color stood out in stark contrast next to Maya’s tanned skin and glossy dark hair. The bodice was fitted and showed off her smooth shoulders, but the skirt fell in soft folds to just above her knees. The gold band encircling the waist gave the entire outfit a Greek-goddess feel. “Really? It’s not too…I don’t know, it’s not too much?” Maya examined herself in the mirror. “Of course not! Right?” Adriana asked the boys pointedly. The four of them just stared at Maya like they were in a trance, even the usually composed Carlo. Even Roman, Adriana thought, rather wickedly. |
