Chapter 347: A Horny Monster
"Careful and watch your step. Kick before you walk, please. Kick…" the manger reminded me almost every step of the way as I made my way out of the dressing room back to the front of the boutique.
"Umm…what do you think?" I asked softly when I felt Hayden’s eyes on me.
I stood very nervously in front of him as his eyes appraised me and the dress that I had on. His lack of visible reaction was a little disappointing to me. The moment of the bride-to-be walking out in her wedding dress and the groom looking all flustered and shock at how wonderfully beautiful she looks wasn’t something that I had the privilege to experience.
I held my breath as I sucked in my tummy as if that alone would somehow make me look better in the dress.
Hayden’s eyes traveled slowly down my body before returning back up again to rest on my chest. He made a thoughtful face, and I could tell that the shop manager and the staffs were nervous as well.
"Looks ok. Better than I expected," Hayden finally commented with an approving nod of his head.
I breathed out the breath that I had been holding in relief. Forget all about the ’wow, you are so pretty’ moment that I often see on screen, it was a huge relief that he seemed fine with how the dress looked on me. The wedding was in a few days, and we didn’t exactly have the time to find a new dress or make major modifications to this one.
The look of extreme relief on the manager’s face told me the same story.
"Thank you, Hayden. I’m very happy that the dress looks fine…" I said in a whisper as I started to relax.
"Of course, it looks fine. I chose it for you…" Hayden muttered so softly that I wasn’t sure if I heard him right at first.
After the heavy mountain had been lifted from my chest, I could focus my attention on Hayden who stood directly in front of me. I had to say that he looked more than just ’fine’. Hayden shot me a strange look and that was probably because I was experiencing a very ’wow’ moment of seeing my groom-to-be in his white tuxedo.
Although I’ve seen Hayden in a full suit very often before because he wore it so often that it was almost like his uniform, the tuxedo that he had on gave off a different vibe.
"You look like a prince…" I murmured as I continued staring at him.
"Do I? Is that strange?" he asked with a small laugh.
"No, you look great," I quickly said to reassure him.
Hayden continued laughing while I looked in the mirror to check if our outfit was a good match together or not. Not surprisingly, we looked like a couple that was more than ready to get married. We better be ready; the wedding was coming up in a few days.
Just when I thought that we were done for our visit, Hayden turned and asked the manager and the staff to give us some alone time. His request must have confused them a little because it showed on their faces; however, without another choice, all of them left us alone in the boutique.
If this wasn’t Hayden and I haven’t had various experiences with him, I probably wouldn’t have reacted the way that I did. Once the door closed behind them and the staff were gone, I took a few steps back and folded my arms over my chest protectively as a sense of déjà vu overcame me. This was exactly what happened in the church when the organizer team left us alone.
"What do you think you’re doing?" Hayden asked as his eyes narrowed at me.
I took another step back and almost ended up tripping on the long train of the dress that I had on. Despite all of its beauty, this dress wasn’t built for mobility at all.
Getting away from him in case he has any funny ideas…what else…
"Umm…" I hesitated to tell him the truth.
Hayden gave me a funny look like he could read what I was thinking. He took a step towards me, and I immediately took a step back as my arms tightened protectively around my breasts. As if his suspicions were confirmed, Hayden started laughing a little at me before he started laughing harder and louder.
"I’m not going to do anything to you. Seriously, what do you see me as?" Hayden asked teasingly as he continued laughing.
He did take a step back away from me and that put me at ease somewhat. Of course, I liked having sex with Hayden but doing it in the boutique while trying on my wedding dress would be over the top.
"A horny monster…I guess…" I mumbled my reply softly to his question.
At first, I wasn’t sure if Hayden heard me but he must have had very good hearing because he started laughing again at my response to his question. Before I knew it, I was giggling along with him. The atmosphere in the boutique relaxed considerably and when Hayden recovered his composure again, he opened the bag that he had with him and took out a box.
I watched as Hayden fetched a large velvet box out of the bag before he started to open it.
"This was why I wanted everyone to leave for a moment," Hayden explained calmly.
I realized right away what was in the box and I found myself unconsciously praying that it wouldn’t’ turn out to be some fancy diamond and gem encrusted bra and matching thong. Thankfully, Hayden opened the box to reveal a very eye-catching set of diamond jewelry.
