novelxo Chapter 97
“Aston, what are you doing?” I asked, my voice shaking with frustration.
This man was more than determined to ruin my life and he was not slacking. He was working round the clock to make me miserable and that was something that I could not get used to.
Aston was always creative with his ways of torturing me and there didn’t seem to be getting out of it for me.
“Why are you coming into the dressing room with me? I can’t try on dresses with you in here! It’s too embarrassing.” And not to mention that it’s p***vy too but I was sure he already knew that. He knew that he was being a p****rt and he was not sorry about but I didn’t need to point it out to him, I just needed him to get the hell out.
I made him aware but my worries did not appear to be any of his business and it was fact that I had already established, I don’t know why I always forgot that he didn’t give a shit how his policies affected me and went ahead to do what he wanted but I still could not stop myself from talking about it.
I still always had to address the problem whether he was going to do anything or not, I knew I had to.
“I’m here to make sure you try on all the dresses,” Aston replied, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “And I want to see how they look on you. That way, I can make sure they’re worth the outrageous prices. You’re not going to hide in here all day, are you?”
“You don’t care about the money, Aston you’re not fooling anybody. You spend four times this amount buying one piece of ugly jewellery for Mara. You want to follow me into that dressing room to do things that don’t involve being good.” I said and he smirked.
“What bad things could I possibly be up to? Stabbing you with the dressing mirror? Ripping the couch open and stuffing your head inside it or are you talking of something a little more intimate.” He said, his voice barely audible as he inched so close that I was sure he could hear my heart racing. He looked down at me, at my boobs. His hands traced a circle around my chest and I felt all the lungs in my air leave.
“Which one is it Kira? What bad thing are you sacred that I’m going to do to you?” he chuckled deeply and sauntered away from me, only then could I let out all the air that I was holding in. It was like I suddenly forgot how to breathe.
“Don’t waste my time, Kira. There’s nothing behind those clothes that I haven’t seen or tasted.” I watched his broad shoulders as he strode into the dressing room leaving me no choice but to follow him.
He sat down with his legs crossed like he was expecting me to put on a show for him. Like I was a freaking stripper.
I protested, “I can’t do that! It’s not right. You can’t just watch me try on dresses! What if I need help with the zips or something?”
Aston just shrugged. “Who’s going to help you with the zips and all? I’d rather do it myself. And I want to see how the dresses look on you. Come on, Kira, don’t be shy. I’ve seen it all before. You’re not going to tempt me or anything if that’s what you’re scared of.” His voice dripped with amusement.
I insisted that he left, but he just ignored me and deep down I knew that I was just wasting my time. Aston was not going to budge. “Come on, Kira. Don’t keep me waiting. Let’s get started. We have a lot of dresses to try on.” The look on his was almost excited. He was looking forward to this and that made a part of me tinge with excitement. It was dumb, I knew but I could not help my excitement too.
“Aston, please leave!” I begged. “This isn’t right! You can’t just sit there and watch me try on dresses. It’s too weird.” I begged one last time because I just realized how embarrassing and belittling it was going to be. Aston was not someone that was capable of speaking nice words. He was going to be blunt with his opinion every time I tried on a new dress and I didn’t think that I was going to be able to handle it.
But Aston just laughed. “You’re not going to try on dresses in front of me? What’s the big deal, Kira? I’ve seen you in your underwear before. You’re not going to seduce me or anything. You’re starting to get on my nerves Kira, you know that right?”
I felt a surge of anger. “That was different! And I didn’t have a choice then. But I do now. And I’m telling you to leave! This is my privacy you’re invading.”
Aston just shrugged. “Fine. But I’m not going to help you with the zips and all. You’ll have to do it yourself. And I’m not going to wait forever. Hurry up and try on the dresses.” I was shocked he gave in and it made me want to explore what other things insistence could get me from Aston but I knew better than to explore in public. Aston would not mind taking today the most embarrassing day of my life and he would not be sorry
I reluctantly began to try on dresses, feeling Aston’s eyes on me the whole time making me feel all sorts of weird things in- between my thighs. I was barely hanging on the thread of self control.
The first dress I tried on, Aston told me to discard it because it wasn’t short enough.
“That’s not short enough!” Aston he said, his voice firm. “I want something that shows off your legs. You have beautiful legs, Kira. Don’t hide them.” I felt like a **t on paid time. What the hell did he mean he wants to show off my legs?!
“This is too short!” I protested. “And it’s not decent! You can’t just show me off like a piece of meat if that’s what you would prefer.”
Aston just laughed. “Decent? You’re not decent, Kira. You’re a beautiful woman, and you should show off your body. You’re not going to impress me with your modesty.” Who said I wanted to impress him? What the hell was going on right now?!
I felt my face flushing with anger “I’m not going to try on another dress if you’re just going to find something wrong with it! You’re never satisfied with anything I do.”
But Aston just handed me another dress. “Try this one on,” he said, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “I think you’ll like it.”
I felt flustered because I was half-naked. My heart raced as I slipped into the dress. Aston had to zip it for me, and his fingers) grazed my spine, making me shiver. I wondered if he felt me shiver, I wondered if he heard my heart racing. I hoped not because my pride would be competing shattered.
“This one is perfect,” Aston pronounced, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. “You look beautiful, Kira. I knew you would.” He looked so satisfied with himself and it made me wonder what the hell he was dressing me up for anyway. He was mean the entire car ride and now he wanted to act like a fairy godmother?!
I stared at my reflection, blown away by how good I looked but too proud to admit that he was right about the dress.
After that, I tried on most of the dresses taking all of his insults and opinions without any argument, and by the time I was done, I felt tired but relieved. I was glad to cover up and put some space between us. I was also really glad that I got new and expensive clothes out of whatever it was that Aston was planning
But then Aston informed me that our next task was lingerie shopping.
“What?” I asked assuming that I didn’t hear clearly and he actually said something else.
“You heard me Kira, we’re going lingerie shopping.” He repeated and I was even more shocked than the first time he said it. My mouth hung open in the air, my tongue almost falling out if it. What the hell was he talking about?
“What do you mean lingerie shopping? What the hell?” I felt my heart sink, dreading the thought of trying on more clothes in front of him.
“Lingerie shopping?” I repeated, my voice shaking with frustration. “Do we have to? Can’t we just stop here?” I was practically begging at to his point because I knew yelling was not going to help my plight.
Aston just smiled. “Yes, we do. And I’m going to enjoy every minute of it. You’re not going to get away from me that easily,
Kira.”
