Micaela's POV

"Sabrina, I don't like when you pressure me this way!" I grumbled as I kept changing from one dress to another. Sabrina did succeed in making me go clothes shopping for the pool party she planned to take me to. Despite my refusal not to attend, she wouldn't take no for an answer and that was how we got here a few hours after I sober up.

"C'mon angel, you don't have to whine over this now, we already talked about it and you're going to this party. You need to look perfect so that all those men will drool over your sexy body. If Fernando was so dumb to choose to be gay over you, then you've got to flirt a little and get your mind over him" came her reply and she winks at me and handed me a red dress.

"No, no, no, this dress is too short for me. Although it's gorgeous, I can't accept it" I objected and searched for other nice gowns.

"Oh girlfriend, please don't do this now, you know you can't win this fight no matter how hard you try. You, Micaela Alvarado, are going to wear this gown to that pool party and that is final!" she announced and placed the cloth on my body and pushes me into one of the rooms for a changeup and she locked the door.

"Sabrina, what are you doing? Let me out of here now!" I yelled behind the closed door pounding my fist on it.

"Don't stress it, angel, just put on the dress and I'll let you out of there!" she yelled back from the outside.

"I'm not going to prom nor am I going for a dinner date for crying out loud, why do I have to dress to kill?" I asked exasperatingly. Sabrina is stressing me now, she is too stubborn and so am I. How do two stubborn friends handle each other? I wish Kim was here she would have talked Sabrina out of pressuring me like she is doing right now.

"Men!" She exclaimed and I wrinkled my brows confusedly.

"What do you mean men?"

"You're dressing to kill those men out there!" She shrieked excitedly and I screech and heave a sigh.

This is useless, it's pointless having this conversation with her. I just have to accept what she is offering and get out of this boutique before I lose it. I silently took off the pink gown I'd picked from the collection of gowns and I put on the red gown.

I tapped on the door twice, "You can let me out now, ma'am" I muttered and waited for her to unlock the door.

"Oh, my God!" She clamored with her hands covering her mouth.

"I told you this dress ain't gonna suit me like you thought" I rolled my eyes at her and she shook her head and walked around me.

"You lie, Micaela. This dress fits you so perfectly! Look at those curvy boobs and-" she hesitated and dragged her hawkish gaze to my butt and well my whole body figure. "You look amazingly hot in this dress! It's not even short like you thought it was. Come check it out yourself" She took my hand and drag me to where the mirror was.

I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and I couldn't help but agree with her that this dress was something else on me. Like it's too hot for me. "Isn't this dress too revealing?" I asked checking out my curves and the length of the gown that was exposing my smooth thighs to my legs. It was revealing my arms since it was an armless gown, and also my chest was a little bit revealing.

"It's not! It's perfect, believe me! We can FaceTime Kim if you want and get to hear what she has to say" she suggested and I shrugged. She reached out for her purse and digs out her phone and put a call through to Kim.

"Hey, babe!" Kim chirps on her end.

"I want to show you something, skinny," Sabrina said and turns the phone camera to my body.

"Don't call me skinny or.....damn! Who is that gorgeous lady with such a hot dress?!" Kim exclaims and I snickered.

"It's Micaela, silly. We are in a boutique trying on some dress for her to wear to the pool party" Sabrina answered and brought the phone close to my face and I collected the phone from her.

"Micaela is that you?" She raised her brow in surprise and I nodded at her smiling. "Oh my goodness, you look so gorgeous in that dress! Can you girls get that exact one in blue color for me too?".

"No! We are not getting anything for you!" Sabrina stubs in and snatched the phone away from me.

"C'mon Sabri, don't be like that" Kim whines, and I laughed.

"Don't give me that puppy face because it's not going to work. You can't wear the same dress as that of Micaela, I won't allow that. She is the only star girl here and only she is entitled to wear that dress".

"You're being too hard on her, Sabrina" I interjected and Sabrina rolled her eyes at me. "Don't worry Kim, I'll get you something beautiful as mine, I promise".

"Thank you, Micaela, I love you, kiss..." Kim's words were cut short by Sabrina who hung up the call.

"Oh Sabrina, don't be so jealous" I teased giggling and she puckered her lips and giggled. "Finally, we chose a dress" I sighed softly and she smiled.

"Thanks to me. I can't wait to see the reaction of all those men tonight" She wiggles her brows and I laughed and shook my head. I hope the party does go well, I need to distract my mind from thinking about him if not I might end up doing something silly.

I got a blue gown for Kim as she had requested although it wasn't the exact design she wanted but something similar. We paid up and left afterward to get ourselves ready for tonight. I can't wait for tonight to be here already. A smile danced its way to my lips as we hopped in my car and drove home.
