Wyatt's going to flip out when he sees me in this, she thought. He won't be able to keep his hands off of me. At least, I hope that's the case.
Lily was really looking forward to getting to spend some quality one-on-one time with Wyatt. The date was the perfect opportunity to get to know him better. More than that, though, she wanted to see what he was like outside of his house and his responsibilities. She wondered if there was a possibility that they'd get to resume what they had started the week before. There was no doubt that she still craved him physically.
As long as he's ready, then I'm ready, too, she thought. I don't want to overstep my bounds and I need to respect his emotions toward Caroline. But if what he said was true, that he was beginning to heal from that pain, then I think there's a chance he really does see some potential of a relationship with he and I.
She couldn't help but wonder what her parents and friends would think if she actually ended up dating him. They'd probably call her creepy or weird, but it wasn't like she hadn't heard that kind of thing before from them. They all thought it was strange that she even talked to Wyatt at all. She could only imagine their reaction if they found out she was dating him.
Whatever, though, she thought. This is my life. I can make my own decisions. I don't need their opinions. If Wyatt makes me happy, then that's all that should matter.
Lily spun around in front of the mirror as she thought to herself about the situation with Wyatt. She turned to the side again and pushed her butt out a bit. She was happy with the way the dress fit. It clung to her curves so perfectly that it was as though the dress had been stitched for her. Bonnie had been right, though, at least as far as the length of the dress was concerned. It was a little bit long and the bottom of it was touching the floor of the dressing room. Even if she wore heels, she knew that it would likely need to be shortened up a bit.
“Still, it's perfect,” she said to herself.
And I can't wait for Wyatt to see, she thought.
Then she slipped off the dress and got back into her skirt suit. She didn't have a second to waste. She needed to get the dress to Bonnie so that it could be shortened. As soon as that was done, she needed to head back home and get prettied up for the date.
This is going to be the best date ever, she thought, then headed back out into the maze of dresses to find Bonnie.
Chapter 25
Lily
Laying on Lily’s bed was the dress she'd bought just a couple of hours before. Bonnie had been kind enough to hem the bottom of it, knowing that Lily needed it for her date that night.
She glanced at the clock on top of her night stand and her eyes widened.
“Shit,” she whispered. “He'll be here soon.”
It was already a quarter to seven, which meant that Wyatt would be at her apartment to pick her up in fifteen minutes. Luckily, she had already showered, but she still needed to straighten her hair and do her makeup.
It's a good thing this isn't the first time I've had to rush to get ready, she thought.
She dropped the towel that had been wrapped around her body. Naked, she walked over to her dresser and pulled out several different pairs of panties. After a few moments of consideration, she ended up picking the blue ones with the lacy top and the see-through front. They were sexy as hell. She'd never worn them before, but figured that this date was as good of a time as any. If there was even a slight possibility of having sex with Wyatt, she needed to make sure that she looked flawless from head to toe.
Lily slipped on the panties and began digging through her bras. That was before she remembered that the dress wasn't even designed to be worn with a bra.
“Panties it is,” she whispered.
She headed to the bathroom and quickly did her makeup. The minutes were passing by faster than she wanted them, too. She was excited to see Wyatt, but didn't want to overlook anything because of the fact that she was having to rush. The last thing she needed was to forget eyeliner or perfume.
This night has to be perfect, she thought. It's not like it's the first time I've ever hung out with Wyatt, but that doesn't matter. This is most certainly the first time we've ever done anything that could be considered a date. In my mind
, this is potentially the beginning of something really special and I want to make a good impression. I want to show him that I can be as pretty and as sexy as any other girl. I want to show Wyatt that, if he were to ever choose me as a girlfriend, that it wouldn't be a bad decision.
Once Lily had finished applying her makeup, she straightened her hair. It took a few minutes to smooth out her natural curls, but once she was finished, it looked great. Another glance at the clock told her that Wyatt would be there any minute.
“Shoot,” she whispered, walking quickly back to the bedroom. “I've got to hurry.”
She slipped on the dress, once again completely impressed by how well it fit. She carefully tied the string at the back of her neck and then checked herself out in the tall mirror that was hung on her bedroom door.
I really hope he likes this dress as much as I do, she thought. And secretly, I really hope that he's unable to keep his hands off of me.
Her body tingled with excitement as she smoothed down the sides of the dress with her hands. She then slipped on her high heels, glancing down to see where the bottom of the dress now fell.
“Perfect,” she said.
Bonnie had done an excellent job shortening the material and the bottom part was now the perfect length. It hovered just an inch or so above the ground, floating nicely as she walked.
