Chapter 54
Target was the popular store for thrift wears and hand me down clothes, they were extremely cheap and affordable that any clothe one gets in Boutique you could get it at Target stores at the cheapest and most ridiculous prices. That was why Mirabel was against going to Target considering the class of people who visit Target stores. But Stephanie also knew her best friend was using that as an opportunity to escape from her room so she would not have to clean the room they both scattered all in the name of searching for an appropriate dinner gown.
“Mirabel, I love you and I know you want the best for me and I appreciate you looking out for me but you are not going get out of this one, you are going to arrange this clothe before you go anywhere” Stephanie said smiling at her best friend.
” You really are my best friend, how did you know I was trying to avoid arranging these clothes?” Mirabel said as she began folding and arranging the clothes, putting them back in their appropriate places.
” Intuition babe, intuition I have known you for almost all my life ” Stephanie replied.
” But I am serious about going to a boutique though you know I would never lie about that” Mirabel said
“Okkk bills on you right” Stephanie said sarcastically.
” Well, I am rich, so yes bills on me I want you to look stunning so I am only going to get you the best of the best” she said and started giving the dramatic expressions she makes when someone is about to enter the runway or when she is acting.
Stephanie just laughed at the way she was raising her hand. Just as they were arranging the room, Stephanie’s roommate stepped in.
“Wo, baby, so much clothes on the floor , what is this dress up?” she exclaimed.
“Well, I wish it were just dressup but Stephanie has a date” Mirabel saidContent is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The news made her roommate scream so hard that other housemates began complaining and shouting her down to keep quiet.
“So you mean he asked you on a date?” her roommate said, jumping to the other side so she would not have to step on the clothes that were littering the ground.
“Yes we are meeting by 8, where I don’t know” Stephanie said, she saw how her friends were happy for her and it seemed like they were going on the date and not her.
“Have you looked for who would do your makeup, your gown, your hair because I can be your stylist you know” her roommate said
“No, we are still looking for a gown for her to wear, this girl doesn’t have a single piece of clothing she can wear for this special date” Mirabel teased her best friend.
“So what are you waiting for hurry Steph, before all the stores in New York closes” her roommate urged her on.
“We will go when we are done with arranging this clothes” Stephanie said finally, accepting that her friends would never accept for her to go to Target.
It took a while before the three were able to finish packing up the clothes and folding them into the closet, after they had finished tidying up their room, Mirabel slumped into the bed as she was very tired
” Whew, that was so much clothes, Steph I am never arranging anything for you in this life” she threatened her best friend and hissed
“Then you should have listened to me when I said we should just go to the store,” Stephanie mocked.
Stephanie and Mirabel then began preparations for them to go to the store to get the gown she was going to wear, when a delivery personnel who was sent by Audrey stopped by to deliver the clothes that he had bought for her, immediately she saw the gown she was elated as she was not expecting to get a gown from him that evening and it saved them the stress of leaving campus to go to town for the gown she wanted to get for herself. They unboxed the package and inside the package was the most beautiful gown they had ever seen, it was a blue gown which was adorned with silver petals from the top of gown to the end, it also looks like a gown that was sewn with the finest set of embroidery, it was nearly packaged into the box that was brought with it, as she brought out the gown the parts of the gown that were adorned with Silver petals began glittering against her body as she wore it for a test run.
“Oooh my God, this is extremely beautiful, this man surely has taste” her roommate said.
” My babe is dating a multi multi billionaire why won’t he have taste and class” Mirabel said, ” baby girl you look absolutely stunning, just for us to style your hair and apply a bit of makeup” she added.
“Point of correction, we are not even dating yet” she cautioned Mirabel and smiled
” When is he going to pose the million dollar question?” Mirabel said and sighed.
“Maybe this night” her roommate chirped in, they l silently hoped and prayed that she was right because he was putting so much work into the date and it would be a waste if the purpose of the date was not to ask her out.
Stephanie removed the dress and began checking out other items in the package that was delivered to her, she found that Audrey had gotten her a pair of high heel shoes and the most adorable and beautiful set of diamond Jewelries, she could not believe her eyes as she saw the Jewelries and the value in them. She screamed as they looked like real diamonds. She picked up her phone to call Audrey but he was not picking up so she decided to call him later.
Her friends were marveled at the sight of the diamond Jewelries, it sparkled as they picked it up and adorned it on Stephanie.
” Babe you know Nathan lost a great deal because see how beautiful you turned out despite everything that monster did to you” Mirabel said and hugged her best friend, she was so happy and proud for her friend that she almost burst out in tears when she remembered everything Stephanie went through in Boston and how she turned out to be. ” I’m really proud of you best, you turned out to be the strongest fighter I know, and trust me I am happy for you that you found someone as caring and charming as Audrey you deserve all the happiness in this world , you honestly do and if Audrey is the one to give you that happiness I am down for it anytime anyday babe, I love you” she said and hugged Stephanie again this time more Intensely.
” Awwn Mirabel, thank you sooo much for always being there for me and everything , even when I had to go into therapy you said you were never going to leave your best friend, you came all the way from Boston because you wanted to be with your best friend, I am really touched and warmed by how you shower me love even in the most slightest of ways, I can not say thank you enough baby girl, thank you for loving me with all you have got” Stephanie said by the time she was already at the last part she was already in tears. She knew her story would never be complete without making mention of Mirabel, her best friend. So she held her hand and they wallowed in the silence that happened thereafter. She did not know what the future held for Audrey but she knew that whatever happened her best friend would also be there for her cheering and leading her in from the back seat with everything she has got.
“Y’all inspire me honestly, see the way you made a big girl cry just now” Stephanie’s roommate chirped in interrupting the silence they once basked in.
