Million Dollar Dresses...

👩‍⚕️ CHARLOTTE MEYERS 👩‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

“Thanks’ Ma, I enjoyed the meal, it was so delicious” Ontario appreciated as he made to leave our house after consuming all of our breakfast. Grr! Eat at your own house, Mr.

All he cares about is food and food alone, Imagine him leaving immediately after the meal, Normal people would stay for a while and hangout but No! Not Ontario Reyes. Mtcheeww! He should be tagged Minister for food affairs or something.

“Hey Ugly Doctor you look like you’re gonna cry!” The fool started to say looking at my face “you’re gonna miss me right?”

What? Miss him? what’s he feeling like? Boy I only look this way because I’m trying to figure out what goes on in your head and all I can see is food, my mother’s food precisely.

“What are you feeling like? Me miss you? In your nightmares!” I retorted

He gave a slight grin and hugged my mom and walked towards the door, he was about to open the door but he stopped in his tracks like he forgot something, and instead looked back at me and said “Don’t forget to report to my house on Monday Morning!” and then he left.

Someone get me a dagger! I’m gonna kill this dude and serve my sentence. Did he just have to remind me of my untasteful plight? Why? Imagine being in a room filled with Ontario’s family? That’s like four times his own attitude, can I do this? Maybe I should just quit and like find another job, modelling agencies have been walking up to me for quite some time now.

“So what are you wearing tonight?” Zoey asks while we’re clearing the table after breakfast, see? Ontario didn’t even wait to clear the table, well in his defense, he helped set the table while I didn’t.

“A dress!” I replied Zoey succinctly

“Girl! You do not have a dress!” She said doing some dramatic flare with her hands

Oh! She’s right. All I ever put on are skinny jeans and oversized sweatshirts unless I’m at work then, my blue overalls and my lab coat, pretty chill, right?

“You’re not planning on wearing Sweats and jeans to a date are you? Charlotte we need to go shopping!” Zoey said, I mean screamed into my ear.

I face palmed myself for some seconds. I was lost in thoughts. Now isn’t the perfect time for me to get a dress. My savings are for my little sister’s insulin purchase, I’d be extremely stupid to buy a dress with the money. But come to think of it, it’s for a date with Jake Reid, might not be a bad idea to use my sister’s insulin fee to buy a new dress. What if Jake’s impressed and marries me? The Khloe would have a life long supply of insulin, courtesy Jake.

No, Wake up you fool!

“I’ll just borrow one of my mom’s dresses” I told Zoey, shoulders slumped. She slumped hers too.

“Sweetie, you have a date? Tonight?” Mom asked coming out of the kitchen, she must have overheard me and Zoey’s conversation.

“Yes Ma! But Charlotte here doesn’t have a dress” Zoey explained to mum.

“That’s no biggie, I have a little savings, Charlotte could use it to get a dress” My mom offered, trust her to be my knight in shining armor.

“No Mom, there is no way I’m taking your savings and getting a dress from it. It’s your savings mom, you should keep it” I said declining my mom’s offer. I’m sure there is a lot of stuff she could use the money for, like maybe get dresses for herself even.

“No, darling. I insist”😘

“Ma, I also insist. You need the money more. At least go the spa for massage day. Don’t worry Ma, I’ll be fine” I’m not taking money from my mom.

Mum finally gave up on insisting, Zoey also left for her home to get one of her dresses for me but I’m way skinnier than she is, I would like I was thrown into any of her outfits if I was to put them on.

Gosh! Maybe I’ll just call Jake and tell him I won’t be going on a date with him, If he asks why I’ll say I’m unwell or emergency at the hospital and they need all hands on deck. Yeah! Sounds like a plan. I’ll call him…. Ding Dong! Someone is at the door. I’ll go get it

A delivery guy is at the door

“Are you Miss Charlotte Meyers?” He asks

“Well It depends on who’s asking” I reply him.

“I was asked to deliver this dress to Miss Charlotte Meyers” The delivery guy says

Good Heavens, I wouldn’t have to cancel my date! God bless whoever sent this dress

“Well in that case, I am the one you seek!” I said stretching forth my arm and giving a slight bow. The delivery guy must think I’m crazy by now.

“Where is my dress?” I asked afraid the delivery guy might change his mind and take back my dress

“Right here!” He said presenting me a bag that seemingly contained the dress. I stretched my hand to receive it but he withdrew. I knew it, this guy want’s to take back my dress!!

“HEY!!” I cried “MY DRESS”

“Sorry Ma’am, you have to sign here first!” The delivery guy calmly spoke.

Just to sign…. I’ll sign everywhere, I don’t mind so long as I have my dress.

I took the log book from him and signed

“Have a nice day ma’am” He said handing my the dress

“Yeah, whatever!” I replied and slammed the door on his face, that’s for trying to take my dress. What? Don’t look at me like that I mean who tries to take away a girl’s dress uh?

Imagine me being enthusiastic over a dress that I’m gonna wear just this once? I mean not like one can wear a dress on a casual day and what if I don’t get to go on any other dates aside this one? Eh?

📩📩”Do you like it?”📩📩 A text came in from Jake’s number

Do I like it? I’ve not even seen what the dress looks like So Jake sent the dress uhn!?

✉️✉️”I didn’t want you to come looking like a teenager going for prom night so I ordered a dress, hope you like it!” ✉️✉️✉️✉️Another text came in from Jake again

Someone tell this young man to calm down, he is sure too clingy for an arrogant superstar, and prom night? Really? He need to see my prom dress , it was splendid. My mom made it.

I didn’t reply his text, instead I ran into my room to take a look at the dress.

WOW!!! It’s so beautiful! It’s a wine colored dinner gown, the pleats were definitely hand made. The sleeve ends were decorated with pearls

“OH MAMA!” I yelled, I had caught sight of the price tag at the end of the clothe, this dress is worth 2 million Dollars!

Hold me I’m gonna faint!😭😭 I’m gonna be wearing a 2 million dollar dress tonight! This dress could buy me and my family, I’m gonna wear it at every chance I get, I just can’t let a dress this expensive live in my closet, it needs to be worn at every chance.

“I’m even afraid to try it on!” I mumbled.

Just try it on Char! At the end of the day, it’s a dress.🤐🤐

I wore the gown and it fit perfectly, My slim figure suited the dress perfected. It goes without saying ‘we were made for each other’ I’m in love with this dress…

Ding Dong! The bell, I’m not getting it this time, I’m too busy admiring my outfit.

“Charlotte!” Mom called after answering the door “Someone’s asking after you”

who is it that wants to take me away from my perfect dress?

Without taking off the dress, I ran down the stairs to see who it was asking for me. Mom who sat in the living room, couldn’t stop admiring my dress, I could hear her wows and ha’s as I walked past her, yes mom, admire your daughter.

It’s the delivery guy at the door again

“What is it this time?” I asked obviously irritated, I signed correctly didn’t I?

“I have another delivery for you ma’am”

It was another dress, two dresses? What’s Jake thinking?🙄🙄

✉️✉️✉️”I thought you didn’t like the first dress, so I sent another one. How is this one?”📩📩📩📩

What? Is this what rich people do when they don’t know what to spend their money on?

Dear God just give me this money and see how I’ll wisely spend it,. Please God.

Because what in the heavens is this? He could have at least call me to tell me he didn’t get a reply to his texts but instead sent a new dress? Or maybe he’s trying to show off his wealth?

If that’s the case then it isn’t going to work, I mean Ontario has been around me my entire life and I am not intimidated by that billionaire frenemy of mine.
