And I Love Her

Chapter 7 - Wedding Bells

"That one," I smile and get up.

"Are you sure?" Chelsea turns and faces the mirror.

I walk up the steps behind her to fix the back a bit and smile at her through the mirror.

"No!" Noori yells. "It's too much."

"I'll go try on the next one," Chelsea frowns.

I turn to face Noori and Naomi and Vivian are about to laugh at me.

"We've been here for over three hours!" I almost yell at Noori. "Say yes to the dress, no matter how ugly!"

"Sorry for caring," Noori sits up.

I check the time once more and make sure I'm not late in picking up Neymar, Carolina, and Davi at their hotel. The drive into Queens will take forever at this time of day and we have to be there early.

Chelsea emerges once more from behind the curtains wearing a gorgeous tan colored dress and the four of us stand up.

"Chelsea," I speak.

"You look gorgeous," Vivian finishes my sentence.

Chelsea begins to blush and smile then speak.

"Really? You think so? I mean, I really love the dress, but it's not the traditional white-"

"Stop," Noori steps forward. "Are you kidding me? Who cares? This goes better with your skin anyway. This is the dress, this is it, we've found it."

Chelsea begins to clap and admire herself some more in the mirror.

"I cannot wait for Chris to see me in this," she says. "Time for the bridesmaid dresses."

"Um," I begin. "Chelsea, I'm so sorry, I have to go."

"Oh," she frowns.

"Listen, it's your day, pick out what you want us to wear, I can get the fitting done later today- so schedule that- have fun ladies," I wave before exiting the fitting room area then the shop.

At the airport, when we finally arrive, I get the familiar feeling of parting ways at a terminal. I'm reminded of Spain again.

I say goodbye to Carolina and Davi- a tight hug each- before they head over to security, leaving Neymar and I alone again.

"Kat," Neymar smiles. "Thank you so much, this trip was amazing-"

"You guys have to come back," I smile. "I've really missed you all."

"We've missed you too," he smiles. "I'll text you when we arrive."

"Do that," I nod.

"This isn't goodbye," he says.

"Let's hope not."

"Friends?" He asks.

"Friends," I grin.

I hug him tightly after that and he leaves a kiss on my cheek before heading over to where Carolina was. I give them one last wave before heading back to the shop I was previously at.

I get a text from Noori, telling me to tell her when I'm near the shop so she can meet me there since Chelsea wanted someone to be there to make sure the dress looked well.

I do so about twenty minutes later and I spend about ten minutes looking for a parking space nearby.

"What happened?" Noori asks as I finally reach the store front.

"Parking," I let out a sigh.

"Come on," Noori nods before opening the door.

"Hello," we greet the lady.
