CHAPTER 12

ELLA

I envy those girls who can take a compliment without turning the color of Mars. I really do.

Immediately after Ethan said the words “beautifully gorgeous,” I know for a fact my entire face turned red. Usually, I can control my tendency to blush, but I hadn’t been expecting him to say that. I’ll just blame my rosiness on nerves. Because right now, I’m nervous as hell. I don’t think I’ve sat down since Catherine finished my hair and makeup.

When she went out to buy me a dress, I was expecting something simple. I was not expecting her to return with this Gucci dress. Then I saw the $5,000 price tag.

I got her car keys and was ready to drive to the store myself to return the dress, but the she-hulk tackled me and stopped me. I don’t know what was in the Hawaiian air, but she has definitely lost her mind. I know for a fact that she wouldn’t be caught dead in a dress like this, so why would she do this to me? Although while Catherine despises dresses with every fiber of her being, I wear them happily—when they don’t cost an arm and a leg, that is. I argued with her about it, but we agreed that I need to try my best to look the part or his parents would probably disown him like he said.

I still can’t believe she convinced me to wear this.

The dress is light blue and delicate lace. It hugs me very tightly down to my waist, then flares just a little till it stops just above my knees.

I’m able to start walking toward my room to take it off when Catherine steps in front of me with her hand outstretches to stop me.

“No,” she says resolutely.

“Catherine, I love you. But if you don’t move out of my way, I swear I’ll jam my heel into your eyes.”

She has zero reaction to the threat. With a bored expression, my best friend turns to Ethan, who is still staring at me like I just stepped out of a magazine.

“Make her wear the damn dress,” Catherine says to him.

“She’s wearing the dress,” Ethan affirms.

I throw my arms up in the air before moving toward the couch and settling on it. “I’m not going anymore. I feel like I’m overdressed and I feel self-conscious and terrible and…”

Ethan sighs heavily before coming to seat beside me. “You’re not overdressed. And you look gorgeous. I think my dad will actually be impressed. I sure as hell am,” he says, and he sounds so genuine, I decide to just go with it.

Worst-case scenario, he’s forced to fake dump his fake girlfriend. And he still hasn’t explained why we need to be in this situation in the first place.

“We’ll talk on the way. Just let me get dressed first,” he says like he’s reading my mind.

I nod and he heads into his room, leaving me alone with Catherine. She’s looking at me with a concerned expression.

“I’ll be fine,” I promise my best friend.
