Destiny of Three: Journey Through Fate

Chapter 9: Dresses

ALEXIS’ POV

We make it to the little store just around sunset. It’s cute but looks closed. A little red brick building with glass windows although I can’t see inside. The roof is black and there is a little bed of flowers on both sides of the path to the door.

“I don’t think it’s open.. It looks closed.” I state.

Sam laughs. “No it’s not closed. This shop is for the royal family only. Sheryl and her team are inside waiting on our arrival.” The car stops and Sam gets out and takes my hand to help me out. Dimitri grabs my other hand and kisses it softly.

As we walk up the door is opened for us.

We walk in and the place is just immaculate. The floor is black marble. The walls are a sleek black with pictures and mirrors strategically placed. There are chandeliers hanging from each area of the building. One are has a giant mirror next to gold curtains for what I assume is a fitting area. There are gowns of all styles set out on display.

That’s when a very thin and smaller older woman walks over to us. She hugs Sam.

Sam turns to us and starts to say, “this is Al..”

The lady throws her hand into the air, “nonsense. I know a queen when I am in the presence of one.” She pauses and bows as does everyone in the room. She then stands and takes my hand gently into her tiny hands, “It is a pleasure to meet you Queen Alexis.” She pauses and turns to Dimitri. She bows to him as well. “It is also a great privilege to be in the presence of yet another other powerful king. King Dimitri. I am Sheryl.” She says with admiration and pride in her tone..

“The pleasure is all mine.” Dimitri says with a wink. This causes the lady to start fanning herself.

“Ohhh. Aren’t you a charmer?” She pauses and turns to Sam. “Samual you really are a lucky man.”

“That I am.” Sam agrees with her with a big smile on his face.

“Now, the reason you have come to see me.” She pauses and turns back to me. She grabs my hand and drags me with her. “We need to find you something that screams I am the powerful queen of BOTH the vampire kingdom and the werewolf kingdom. Something that says yes I am a badass, but I am also beautiful..” she pauses in front of a row of stunning dresses. She grabs one and hands it to someone that works with her. They run off and disappear behind the gold curtain.

She then drags me to an other area. Looks at me and then thinks while she put a finger to her lips. “Aha!” She says as she reaches in this rack of dresses and pulls out one and shoves it at an other person who runs off and disappears.

“We need something that screams I am the fairest of them all…” she winks at me and then pulls me to this one area with ball gowns. She grabs one and hands it to an other person who again runs off and disappears behind that curtain.

“Now. We need something that says SEXY yet CLASSY!” She pulls me towards this area with a bunch of black dresses. She grabs one and hands it over to someone and they then vanish behind the gold curtain of abyss.

“Now let’s go try these one, shall we?” She asks raising an eyebrow.

I look over at Sam and Dimitri who appear to be enjoying the show. I just look at her and nod. She then drags me to the gold curtain..

The curtain is pulled to the side and as I walk in I noticed they have this set up better than any fitting room I have ever been to. The room is also bigger than I thought. Normally fitting rooms are not very big.. This room is the size of my mom’s house.. It is huge! All 4 dresses are set up and ready for me to try them on.

“First I want to try…” she pauses “this one.” She says as she points to one. Three girls walk to me and she demands, “get your clothes off. Leaving your underwear and bra on only.” I am hesitant but she snaps her fingers at me and I take off my clothes. The three girls walk over with this green dress. They help me step into it and zip it up. It’s strapless and tight on the chest but flows out. They then guide me to the lobby to see it in the mirror. I stop in front of the mirror. I’m not a huge fan of strapless dresses on myself, but I this doesn’t look half bad. It could be worn for fun or in a professional setting. It’s an olive green with a tight area around the waist to where it flows out for the skirt area. Floor length.

“I like this one, but I don’t think this is it” Sam states.

“Very well. Ladies?” Sheryl asks, which then led to the girls leading me back into the changing room.

Once in the changing room she points to one and they begin undressed me and putting the next one on.

This one is purple and flowy. They lead me back out to the mirror. It has sleeves but is lower cut on the chest. It has frills and a cut up the leg. The longest part goes down to the middle of my calf. It has frills and I feel like a fairy princess. I want to run through a flowery meadow in this dress.. Not sure about a formal meeting in this dress..

“I love this one.. Maybe not for a royal meeting though?” Sam asks.

She nods. The girls lead me back into the dressing room again.

This time they put me in this poofy princess looking dress. It’s itchy and has a corset.. Which means I can’t really breathe but my boobs look amazing.. The skirt took work for them all to help get on with each layer. The corset I felt like they were trying to break me in half…

Once again I am led out to the mirror. This dress is maroon and gold. The majority of the dress is maroon but the details like in the corset and the skirt are all in gold. I look like one of those queens in one of those portraits you see. The ones where the queen looks miserable and the men look like they are waiting for someone to smell their fart..

“What about this one Samual? It is a lot more up to the royals standards..” Sheryl asks.

I see them shake their heads.

“No. She looks miserable. I want her to be comfortable.” Sam says causing me to sigh with relief.

“Very well.. I did save the best for last anyways..” she declares as the girls lead me back into the dressing room. They peel me from every layer of this torture dress, and as I breathe in relief they begin to put the last dress on me.

It fits like a glove.

They lead me to the mirror and everyone is speechless.

It is a black dress with short sleeves. It is a little low cut, but not too much cleavage. It is skin tight on the top giving that sort of corset look, without the corset downfalls. The chest part is also beaded. The skirt part has the fun frills with sparkles and the slit up the leg. I feel so powerful and sexy in this dress. It’s like it was made for me.. Cheesy but true.

“This.. This is the one.” Sam states.

I turned and could see both of them staring at me with such pride and love.

“I knew it.. She looks like a vision. She looks powerful, badass, and sexy! I’ll also pack up the 3 dresses you liked and leave the Victorian dress here..” she states.

They nod and the girls lead me back to change.

After they took the dress they started to leave.

“Thank you girls for your help today. I really appreciate it.” I say to them.

They all turn back and look at me in shock and then they all smile and leave. Weird.

I quickly get dressed and go back out to Sam and Dimitri.

Sam pulls me to him and kisses my head, Dimitri grabs my hand and kisses it and we head out the door.

“Wait!” I yell and turn back.

“Thank you Ms Sheryl. You truly are a visionary, I look forward to working with you in the future.” I say with a smile as I walk out the door.

“We are done now. We already took care of the shoes and we have jewelry that is for the queen and only the queen.. Let’s get you fed.” Sam states as he helps me into the car.

“Thank you! I’m starving!!!” I blurt out causing both of them to laugh.
