Into The Wild……

CHAPTER 8:

At Gabrielle’s house, 6:48 pm:

The girls have been in Gabrielle’s room the minute they walk in the door, and that was an hour ago.

“Ok, how about this one?” Gabrielle says to Jessica and Dee (who are sitting on the bed playing judges for each outfit Gabrielle walks out with) as she walks out of the bathroom wearing a black dress with a black tie around the middle. “I think it’s cute!” says Dee. “Yeah I like the tie around the middle” says Jessica. “Cool, maybe this then?” says Gabrielle looking in the mirror.“Sure, that will do” says Jessica. “Yeah but still, I don’t know what kind of place he’s taking me to, like someplace plan or dressy?” says Gabrielle sighing. “I know hun” says Dee shaking her head, trying to think. “Well, he looks like the type of guy that would take you to a fancy restaurant, being British and all” says Jessica. “Yeah, maybe” says Gabrielle. “Well, how about dress up nice but not to fancy, like a nice shirt and skirt ya know? Just to be on the safe side” says Dee now looking through Gabrielle’s closet for a skirt. “Yeah, that would work!” says Jessica. “You guys are right! Now lets see” says Gabrielle. They spend at least ten minutes looking through the Gabrielle’s closet. Then at last Dee pulls out a nice dressy black skirt. “Well?” she says holing it up to Gabrielle. “Looks good! Thanks!” Gabrielle says taking the skirt from Dee. “No prob! Now lets find a shirt” says Dee going back into the closet. “Jeez Gab, do you have anything that’s not black!” Jessica says in wonder. “Nope you know me” says Gabrielle laughing a bit. “Wow, honey you need to get some colors in here” says Jessica shaking her head. “That skirt would look great with a nice red top” “You think? says Gabrielle looking at the skirt closer. “Yeah! Maybe we can run out to the mall for a few minutes to get one” says Jessica thinking. “Can’t, by the time we go there, find a shirt, go through the hell we know as check-out, and get back, it will be will over eight o’clock” says Dee. “Ah yeah your right” says Jessica shaking her head. “Well, we can’t have her walking around with a long black shirt and a black shirt, she’ll look like she just came form the Adams family more then ever!” “Oh come on! I think I have a white shirt hidden here somewhere” says Gabrielle looking deep into the closet now. “That deep huh?” says Jessica. “Oh shut up” says Gabrielle digging. About a minute later she finds it. She then takes the skirt and shirt and then goes into the bathroom to get changed. She comes out minutes later. “Well, what do ya think?” she asks Jessica and Dee.“I like it” says Jessica. “Yeah, looks good, classy and simple” says Dee. “Cool. Now just gotta take a shower to wash out the crap from the café” says Gabrielle. They laugh at that and then Dee says, “We’ll be downstairs if you need us” “Cool. Make yourselves at home” Gabrielle walking into the bathroom. “Awesome! Thanks!” says Jessica as she and Dee walk out and head downstairs.

Sometime later Gabrielle gets out of the shower and then gets herself ready. About a few minutes later she walks downstairs and finds Dee and Jessica in the kitchen having iced tea. “Aw you look cute hun!” says Dee smiling. “Yeah! Mr. Brit is gonna freak when he sees you!” says Jessica. Gabrielle laughs at that. Then she grabs herself a cup of water and then sits with the girls and talk waiting for Edward to arrive.

Then, an hour later, there’s a knock on the door. Gabrielle looks out the windows to see who it is. “Oh it’s Edward!” she says jumping a little.
