"What do you think?" Gina asked as she stood in front of Juliet, who gasped and stood up... while Vance looked like he was more than proud of the masterpiece that he had created. He had a bright smile on his face as he stared at the breathtaking bride-to-be..... she was perfect... The wedding dress looked beyond breathtaking on Gina... "You look breathtaking," Juliet said, awed because of how beautiful Gina and Gina's face became flushed immediately... a bright smile appeared on her face as Juliet and two of the women at the bridal place assisted Gina with the dress so he could turn and look at herself in the mirror... "I knew as soon as I saw this dress that it was going to be perfect for you, Gina. And I was right, you look perfect in it, " Vance said excitedly... "Wow," Gina said in a low voice as she stared at herself in the mirror... she immediately fell in love with her dress... it felt like it was made just from her from the beautiful lacy intricate at the top of the dress to the way it wasn't too voluminous... she loved it and wanted her wedding... "You look really beautiful, ma'am, your groom is the luckiest groom," one of the women said, and Gina laughed out loud at the compliment... she turned to look at Juliet, who nodded at her. So this was what it felt like to have a friend... Gina thought she had a question she wanted to ask Juliet but wasn't sure if Juliet would accept it... "I will take this dress," Gina said to Vance who clapped his hands together in excitement... "of course, this is the right choice for you, but if you are unsure of this we have a few more gowns that you could try on, but I think this is the one," Vance said and was about to instruct his assistants to get the dresses he was talking about ready by gina stopped him. she had fallen in love with the dress she was putting on and didn't want to try on anything else. From their reaction alone, she was more than confident that she looked good in the dress... "No, I want this dress, Vance. I love it so much," She said, and she could see the pleased look on Vance's face... his assistant immediately went to work and checked if there were any adjustments to be made to the dress... they asked Gina how comfortable it was... If it was too loose and she answered all their questions, while Juliet sat there and listened with a lingering smile on her face... "Thank you," Gina said when Vance left with his assistants, and it was only the two of them left in the room. "You don't have to thank me. This was fun. Are you sure you don't want to try on the remaining dresses? You never know. You might like them better, " Juliet said, and Gina shook her head. She became immediately drawn to the dress as she put it on and didn't want anything else to falter her decision. She could already picture herself walking down the aisle towards the love of her life in her wedding dress. It was amazing to picture something like that just by staring at her reflection in the mirror... "No I don't think so and I can't ask Vance to keep those as my backup dresses if anything were to happen to this dress, but I hope not, that would be a disaster," Gina said and this caused both women to chuckle ... their laughter died down, and the room was soon filled with silence this gave gina the perfect opportunity to ask Juliet a question. She fiddled with her fingers as she asked, "So I was wondering if... you know...well... um if you would like to be my bridesmaid..." Gina finally asked the questions that she had spent the previous night thinking about'd she should ask it or not. She had decided not to since she and Juliet were just starting a friendship, but when Juliet was awed by how she looked, her heart felt warm, and she wished she could be her bridesmaid. Gina always thought she wouldn't have any if she ever got married because she didn't have friends, but meeting Juliet, she wanted to... "Oh," Juliet said in a low voice. She was taken aback by Gina's question, but a part of her was excited about it... "Sure," Juliet agreed and could only imagine how surprised Alex would be when she told him about this... Gina didn't waste a single second and left to look at Vance so they could get a dress ready. Julietliet... A smile finally appeared on Juliet's face as she walked back to take a seat. Vance and Gina came back into the room a while later, and Vance came along with a few dresses that Juliet could try on... "I picked out a few dresses, and my assistants are coming with a few more for you to try on... what do you think... which do you like... I picked it out, especially for you... how about this? " Vance picked up one of the dresses and was about to hand it to Juliet when her phone, which was in her bag, started to vibrate... Juliet ignored it at first and was about to check out the dress when her phone started to vibrate loudly once again, catching everyone's attention... "You should get that it might be important... Vance and I will pick out the ones for you to try on, " Gina said, and Juliet nodded. She took her phone out of her bag and walked to the corner of the room so she could answer the call... It was an unknown number and Juliet wondered who it was as she pressed the answer button "Hello," Juliet said but heard nothing at the other end of the line. "Hello, who is this?" She said again and waited of someone would say something but no one said anything and before she could ask who it was again the call ended... Juliet stared at the unknown number, wondering who it could be, but she didn't think much about it, even though she had an unsettling feeling about the call... she shook it off and turned to look at Gina, who was waving at to let her know the dress was ready for her to try on... juliet smiled at her and nodded, her eyes travelling to her phone one more time before she placed it in her pocket... who could it be ?
