Its a bright Sunday morning. Sophia wished she was doing something else than trying on dresses for the fundraiser today.
"I think it's fine" Sophia said meekly as she looked at herself in the mirror wearing a bottle green dress.
Ella, her stylist sent in by Oliver looked at her like she had two heads.
"No way, Sophia. It does nothing to your figure. That dress is a total no-no"
It's true the dress was straight cut and loose, but Sophia was fine with it. She never wore anything revealing or tight or body hugging because she thought she didn't have a body for it.
"Wear this, I have a feeling this is the one" Ella said showing her a dark red strapless gown that looked tight. It was beautiful, hell it was the best gown she'd seen today. But, she can't pull it off. Can she?
Ella sensed Sophia's hesitation.
"Soph, just try it on" Ella said, smiling at her sweetly.
"Okay"
Sophia went inside the dressing room and tried on the dress. It fit her like a glove. It was as if it was made for her. It wasn't too tight, just right hugging her body at all the curves and edges. Sophia ran her hands down the sides of her body.
She walked out slowly to where Ella and Martha were sitting.
As soon as they saw her, they looked looked at each other and then at Sophia, completely speechless.
"Where the f**k were you hiding that, Sophia?" Ella asked pointing at her body. She got up and walked to Sophia and turned her around.
"Okay. You're wearing this. That's it. You look so hot, I can't even" Ella remarked. Sophia bit her lip and turned to finally look at herself in the mirror.
Woah. It really did fit her like a glove.
"I don't know if I would be able to pull it off" she said, still unsure.
"Oh come on. After Oliver sees you in this dress, you won't be able to walk straight for two days" Ella laughed.
Sophia didn't understand her in the beginning but then turned beet red. Ella didn't know about their contract. Nobody did.
"Relax, Sophia. You look beautiful, this dress was made for you. You gotta wear it, come on"
Sophia looked at herself once again in the mirror. She hadn't worn something so expensive or revealing. The low neckline did nothing to hide her cleavage. Sophia always knew she had bigger breasts than other women, she felt insecure and so she always covered them up.
"Ok-ay" she agreed, still a little nervous about it.
In the next half an hour, shoes, accessories, jewelry etc was all planned out.
After she had lunch, a team of hairstylists, make up artists, beauticians etc all walked in.
Sophia was overwhelmed.
If it was upto her, she would've worn her old black prom dress and left with hair open with some mascara and red lipstick.
Okay, yeah she needed a whole makeover team if she had to present herself as Oliver's wife.
She just sat in a chair and let people take over and do their work.
Her hair was washed, cut, styled. Her nails were manicured and painted. She got a rejuvenating facial and her eyebrows plucked and all that.
Finally after three very patient hours she was allowed to look at herself.
Woah, what.
She could barely recognise herself. The woman staring back at her was not the usual Sophia, this one seemed confident and ....pretty.
"Woah, you guys literally used a magic wand or what?" She asked, still stunned.
"Girl you were like a diamond covered in dust. We just had to polish you up" Ella remarked as she entered the room again.
Sophia smiled at Ella's words. Surely, she was trying to make her feel better about herself, like always.
Ella had dressed her two weeks ago for a small party that Oliver's friend had hosted. That's how she first met Ella. She was something else. She was tall, thin, beautiful, successful and smart. She was like the whole package.
"Soph, if I ever break up with Gemma, My eyes are on you" she said. Sophia blushed.
"Okay, we gotta get you into the dress. I saw Oliver down in the living room. He's ready and waiting for you"
"Oh, crap" Sophia said.
"Don't worry. I told him we'd take a little more time and assured him that it would be worth the wait" Ella joked and winked at Sophia. Sophia just played along and blushed.
She wore the diamond earrings Oliver had sent over and left her neck bare. Her hands were adorned with a beautiful and dainty diamond bracelet and her gorgeous wedding ring.
"Let's get a picture" Ella chimed.
Sophia stood nervous for the picture, bringing her hair forward to cover her cleavage.
Ella put the phone down and asked everybody in the room to leave. She held Sophia's shoulders and said
"Sophia, relax. You look so beautiful"
Sophia just chuckled and looked away.
"Your hair, your make up everything is perfect. The dress is perfect. And you have some amazing boobs so don't cover them up. I'm not joking when I say how hot you look."
Sophia felt a little better. In the sense, she needed this boost from Ella if she had to go face all those obnoxious people at the fundraiser.
"Thanks Ella" She smiled.
Ella smiled in return and stood back to take Sophia's picture. This time her hair was pushed back and Sophia poses feeling more confident.
"Omg, stunning. I'm posting this on my page. Alright?"
"Okay"
"Okay, let's go before Oliver fires me" Ella laughed.
Oliver stood up from the living room and walked to the stairs to go upto Sophia's room and that's when he heard a noise and looked up.
To say, he was shocked would be an understatement.
Who was this woman?
She looked beautiful.
He saw Sophia bite her lip as she saw his reaction.
The red dress clung to her body like second skin...and her body..it was so curvy. He tried not to look at her cleavage but he peeked more than once, he couldn't help it.
Sophia felt her body heat up under his gaze.
She reached the ground and looked at him.
"Sorry I'm late"
He was still out of words.
"Martha, send someone to clean the drool off the floor" Ella remarked.
"Sorry" Oliver apologised., embarrassed that he was caught ogling.
"Okay I'm leaving, you guys have a fun night. Also, if this night leads to a baby, you're giving him/her my name, Okay? I don't care" Ella laughed and walked away.
Oliver bit the inside of his cheek at the baby talk.
He saw Sophia blush so hard, he chuckled.
"You look beautiful" he said as he looked at her causing her to look up at his face.
She still wouldn't look him in the eyes.
"Thanks" She said and immediately looked down.
"We should go" he said and walked ahead with Sophia following him.
Oliver tried not to think about just how sexy she looked for his own sanity.
