Chapter 8 : Not my size The fitting took place in a beautiful and luxurious venue in the best part of town . Just looking at the dresses intimidated me ; I suspected one of them would cost me a month's salary . " Oh , Priscilla ! It's so nice to have you here ! And I'm so happy that you could make it ! " Lily mentions . " Oh yes ... I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world , " I say nervously . Her hair has soft curls , she looks stylish , like a model . Tall and slender , she appears to be a successful woman . Apparently , her fiancé , William , is a kind and attractive man who clearly adores her . " You know ... I have a friend from college who can't attend the wedding , so ... I have a dress for you ! Of course , with some alterations , because she has a different style , " she says happily . A polite way to indicate that her friend is tall and thin , unlike me . As I examined the rest of her friend's , I noticed that they varied in height , but none had a body type similar to mine . In fact , I seemed to be the exception . My sister was also present , and she shot me disdainful glances . I guessed that she must have been fasting for days because she looked much thinner than usual . Sigh ... this was going to be a long , awful day . At least Ethan wasn't here . I couldn't imagine him in this situation , you know , a businessman surrounded by fancy dresses . How absurd ! " Oh , Priscilla ! We missed you so much ! " Maggie Fairfax exclaimed . She was the kind of person you could tell was kind and loving just by looking at her . She looks like a boss , elegant , attractive but also approachable . And they bombarded me with questions . " How is your love life ? " " How about your ex - boyfriends ? " " Are you in love ? " she asked . Why so much interest in my non - existent love life ? " Oh please! Rats in the street have much more action than Priscilla ! " my sister yells , and the other girls giggle . I feel embarrassed , and Maggie puts things in order . " Hey girls ! Behave ! " " Ethan told us that you do a wonderful job for his clients , " Lily suddenly exclaimed , and I blushed . Has Ethan told you about me ? " He really loves your work , " Maggie said happily . 1 didn't expect that . " That's why I wanted you to help me with a few things regarding my wedding decorations , " Lily said , holding my hand lovingly . " Uh , sure , " I answered as we waited for the dresses to be ready . " And tell us ... what do you want in a man ? Do you have a crush at the moment ? " Maggie suddenly asked . I would never talk to my mother about men , but Maggie is like the mother I wish I had . I get nervous and Lily looks surprised . " Actually , we went out once ... he's my neighbor ... he's quite nice , I confessed and told them a bit about him . They asked me a lot about Robbie , and I feel ... loved . Soon Lily is called , and we see that she is wearing a beautiful dress , she looks like a princess in a fairy tale . Just gorgeous . " Ethan told us you weren't seeing anyone ! " Of course , damn him . 1/3 Chapter 8 Not my size Then , one by one , Lily's friends try on their dresses , each confidently showing off their long legs , contoured arms , and small round breasts in very similar dresses . They looked fabulous ! Every dress is different in its own way , but everyone seems happy with their choice , There's champagne , and I even see my sister dancing as if she were in a discotheque . We all laugh , and for a moment , I feel pretty good about being here . Of course ... I forget that I also have to try on my dress ... one that was made for another girl . " Oh , I think I can try it on later ... " I suggested . " Sweetie , these ladies need to take notes of the changes , " Maggie exclaimed , accompanying me to the dressing room . There I was in front of my worst enemy : a dressing room with a mirror . " Miss ... this is the dress ... but I can easily say that it isn't going to fit , " a shop girl says , looking at me as if I were a lost whale on the shore / " No way , Sherlock ! " " Ehhh ... no , I think it is not the right dress , " she says . I hear yells from their partners , who are trying to find me a decent dress . I was there in the dressing room , in my underwear , trying to cover my body . " Come on , girl ! " " Are you ready ? " I heard the girls ' voices encouraging me to show them my outfit . They kept laughing and drinking champagne , and I was about to have a panic attack . In a dressing room , for a stupid dress . This is absolutely ridiculous . Dear God ... I wanted to cry right here . " I was about to google how to lose twenty pounds in a few days when I thought ... I had to think of something . I wanted to go out , defeated , saying that I felt bad . But people don't take panic attacks seriously . At least not for a chubby girl trying on dresses , " Here is another one , " the shop girl says , leaving me a dress and walking away . " Dear god ... here we go , " I mutter . The fabric was thicker , so my extra pounds didn't show as much , but it was short , and I felt like everyone could see everything if I bent over . On the other hand , I couldn't even close it . Like ... no way . I poked my head out of the dressing room , and there was the lady who gave me the clothes . " Sorry ... I think it doesn't fit ... so maybe I should go ... " I started to say , but they seem determined to sell a dress to the millionaire family . " Hold your breath , the girl says , while another one was struggling with the zipper... it finally went up . I was in the dress that squeezed me like I was suffocating . I hate it . I almost looked like a stripper , my breasts protruded dangerously as if I had a push - up , and I even had to take off my bra . The dress kind of marks my waist , and I hold my stomach as much as I can , but what to do with my arms and legs ? My hips and ass look bigger ... I feel like a cow . " Come on ... use these shoes , " the girl lent me some heels ... but still ... I looked like a joke . I wanted to cry . ' Priscilla ... we are waiting for you ! " I heard the excited cries of the girls . As I entered the small stage in front of everyone , I swear the light hit me in the eyes like a freak . The laughter died down , and at first no one said anything , I almost fell because these stupid shoes are too big for me . " You ... I mean ... one of Lily's friends says but then stops . " It's such a nice color for you !, Lily said suddenly with a smile . This woman is adorable but a liar . ' I think if we fix this part , maybe it will be better , Maggie approached me , showing one of the ladies in the store the arrangements , as if she were my mother helping me try on my school uniform . 2/3 P Chapter 8 Not my size " I think you need some serious help , little sister ... or lose some weight . If I were you , I would start a fast diet today , Caroline mentioned , and I heard some laughs . I saw her out of the corner of my eye , her short straight dark hair , her big nose , her skinny legs crossed in a pose like she was the queen of the place . " Come here sweetie ... let's see the skirt , Maggie says and when I bend over ... I heard the distinct sound of clothes tearing . Oh my god , no ! " Priscilla tore the dress ! You can see her big butt ! " Caroline started laughing and more laughter erupted . I turned around to hide my face ... until I saw him . Good Lord ... no no no . Ethan . He had just entered and was standing near the door . Did he have to come at this very moment , when my body and my dress were torn ? I cover my butt with my hands while the girls and Maggie try to check the damage . Please let me die . That's not true , Caroline . Priscilla looks very pretty , she's not the problem ; it's the dress , " Maggie said * I think Caroline's right ... " Ethan said suddenly , and they all turned around , even the ladies who work in the store . Lily's friends are whispering , others flirtatiously tossing their blonde hair . Lily's handsome older brother was there , and they all wanted to look their best . Why could he come when they were showing off their dresses ? ' I'm referring to the fact that it will need several alterations ... maybe it would be easier to try another dress , " he quickly points out , and my embarrassment is multiplied by three thousand . " There are no more dresses in the lady's size " says one of the store girls , to my horror . Even those dresses weren't my size ! When I look at his face , I see his eyes wandering over me , his mouth open in surprise , and he stared at my cleavage for a while . " I think it looks good , " Lily insists , and an argument breaks out while I'm here , like cattle in a show . " Maybe we can order a new from scratch ? This style really suits you Priscilla , it would be a shame not to wear it " says Maggie and the store managers promise to make a new dress . " Oh , you'll be beautiful , Priscilla , you'll see ! With those curves your boyfriend will be impressed " Lily says , winking at me . I hear someone clear their throat as if they'd suddenly choked . " What boyfriend ? " Ethan asks with obvious annoyance , out of nowhere , while he has a group of blonde girls around him , fighting for his attention . " Oh , you didn't know ? Our little Priscilla is dating a nice man ... she said he was very cute " I can hear my sister laughing behind my back and the last comment . I see Ethan's annoyed expression as I see my chance to escape from this freak show . Chapter Comments pladr 7 days ago 49 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
