Hate & Lust

Dress

Jared's P.O.V.-

"I look like a elephant." She says stepping out of the dressing room.
"Blaire, I'm starting to think you're trying to avoid getting anything." I say standing up from the chair and walking towards her.
"Well it helps when I look the way I do."
"You look beautiful. Stop talking shit about yourself."
"Why can't we just go eat some cheep ass burger from a fast food spot and then go watch a movie or something?"
"Because, that defeats the purpose of a fancy dinner."
"I had cereal last night for dinner. Going out to eat is fancy, even if it's just to a fast food restaurant."
"Were going to eat at a fancy restaurant and if you don't find a dress, fine, but we are going to eat." I say with a smile.
She places her hand on my face and it takes everything in myself not to push her up against the wall and fuck her here.
"You're more stubborn than I am sometimes."
"I'm sticking to my word."
She hesitates her words and I raise my eyebrows.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
"Liar. What is it?" I say with a smile.
"There was this dress. I saw it when we walked in, in the display window, but I haven't been able to find it."
"Let me ask someone. I'll be right back."
I stand up and find a girl who worked at the boutique I took Blaire.
"How can I help you, sir?"
"There's a dress my girl wants to try on but couldn't find. It's the one in the front window she said."
"Oh okay well I can grab it off the mannequin. It's the last one we have."
"Thank you."
She strips the dress off and hands it to me.
"I appreciate it."
I notice that she looks me up and down and nods biting her lip.
"No worries. Let me know if you need anything else."
I walk back over towards Blaire and knock on the dressing room door.
"It's me. I got the dress."
The door opens a bit and I notice her in the silk robe they gave her.
"What are you lookin at?" She says and my eyes wander all over her.
"Man, let's just go to dinner with you in that robe. Or maybe we should go home instead."
She rolls her eyes and grabs the dress in my hands.
"Go. We aren't going to do anything here."
I sigh and turn around closing the door behind me.
A minute later the door opens and she steps out, absolutely glowing. My mouth drops open and she turns in a circle.
"Well, how do I look?"
"Blaire. You- I... wow."
"That good huh?" She says and I stand up and step towards her.
"You look beautiful." I say taking her hands in mine.
Her eyes twinkle and I kiss her hands.
"Thank you, Jared. You really don't have to get this dress for me though."
"Of course I don't. But I want to. Go ahead and let me get the tag and then you can just wear it to the restaurant."
"Are you sure this isn't like, overdoing it? It seems way too formal."
"You'll blend right in where I'm taking you."
"You aren't going to spend a fortune on me tonight. You aren't allowed."
"Blaire. Stop talking. You're being ridiculous."
For a second she looks at me like she wants to rip my head off but then takes a deep breath and nods.
"Fine." She tugs the tag off the dress and hands it to me.
"Thank you."
She pecks me on the mouth and runs he hand through my hair.
"No... thank you, Jared."
