---Carter’s POV---
We’ve been wandering the mall for two hours and Melody still hasn’t found anything she likes. She looked cute anything and I told her that but she still didn’t like it.
This shopping trip has really made me think how much Harry has made her happy. I haven’t seen her this happy in a long time. It makes me happy to know she’s okay, even though it’s not with me. I guess Annebelle was right, there’s not much I can do now that she’s in love with him.
Deep down, I still hope that she will one day look at me like that. Oh well, in the mean time; she’s happy with him. Right now we’re in some dress store that has classy dresses and tuxes.
“Carter; what about this one?” Melody lift’s a purple short dress with a feathery skirt. I shake my head quickly. Feathers are a no. She lets out a sign and turns back to the dress rack.
I turn my back to her and make my way to the shoe section. I look around the rows of shoes and end up in the tuxes section. I look around the tuxes for a while and find myself staring at a curly haired boy. I creep closer and see that there’s another boy with him. I hide behind a rack and see that it’s Harry and Louis.
“….about this tux?” Louis holds up a blackish, grayish tux for Harry to see. Harry quickly shakes his head, making his curls shake everywhere. Before that would have been such a turn on for me, but now the feeling is mutual.
“Why do I need a tux anyways? Won’t a simple, nice dress shirt due?” Harry asks Louis. Ha! Dress shirt. If only he knew that Melody is dress shopping for tonight and has already bought new lingerie.
“Harold! No, you need to look good tonight. Melody is probably buying a new dress for tonight” Lou scowls at him. I nod my head in approval. See, Louis knows what he’s talking about; are you sure he isn’t gay?
“Okay, okay. You’re probably right” He sighs and keeps on looking for tuxes.
".So tonight's the big night?" Louis asked Harry.
"Oh I wish. She probably would like to wait more" He told Lou.
"Do you want to?" Louis asked. I stare at the two of them; waiting for Harry to respond. I must look like a total creep, hiding behind clothing racks.
"Lou, you know how long I've waited for tonight; but if she wants to wait I guess I can wait a bit more" He said as if he had no other choice but to wait.
My brain starts to process what I just heard and that’s when it hits me. Harry has been playing Melody all this time for sex!
I sink to the floor, my eyes wide. Right when I was starting to believe him. I actually thought he cared for her! I run a hand through my hair, frustration taking the better of me.
I crawl out of the row, leaving them behind talking about tonight. I get back on my feet and make my way back to the dresses.
What do I do now! If I tell Melody, it'll crusher. But if I don't, Harry will continue playing her. Ugh! Just thinking about that gets me upset! I don’t want to be the one that breaks her heart. OMG what do I do?
I ponder in my thoughts until someone yells in my face.
"CARTER" I look up and see Melody holding a bunch of dresses. I shake my head a bit and smile at her.
"Where have you been?" She asks me. I shrug and grab all the dresses that she had.
"Whatever. Let's go try on these dresses" She tells me and takes me to the dressers; the conversation that I had just heard still running through my head.
---Melody's POV---
So I'm in the dressing room trying on my 5th dress. I think I'm just going to give up; there isn't a dress that I like.
Tonight has to go as planned. I've bought black, lace lingerie especially for tonight, now I'm just missing the dress which I doubt I'll find. I walk out with a dark purple, short dress and strut for Carter.
"Sooo?" I tell him. He scans me and them shakes his head. Ugh!
"Take that hideous thing off and wait there. I'll be right back" With that he stomps off to the dress racks. I waited for a good twenty minutes until he came back with a dress in his hand.
"Here. Try this one on, Babe" He hands me a light pink dress. I frown immediately at it.
"No Carter, this dress isn't for me" I tell him still frowning. He shakes his head at me again and pushes me inside the changing room.
“Put. The. Dress. On” He tells me sternly. I sigh in defeat and strip off the dress I had before and zip up the pink one that Carter gave me.
I look at myself in the mirror and smile. It’s beautiful and perfect. I don’t know how Carter does it, but he always manages to find the perfect dress for me.
It’s a long, pink flowy dress that has a sweet heart neck line full of creamy white and pink flowers on the top that flow out ward with just one or two by my hip and then completely disappear. And it hangs loosely on my body, highlighting everything right where it should be.
I walk out of the changing room and make my way to Carter. I slowly walk up to him and make a small twirl. He looks me over and smiles, wide eyed.
“Melody… you look…” He starts but never finishes. Does that mean I look bad? I thought it looked good. I feel my smile slowly turn into a frown.
“Does it look bad…?” I trail off looking down, slightly embarrassed.
“Does it look bad? Babe, you look beautiful” He says with an even bigger smile. I look up at him and smile again. I notice that his smile quickly turned into a frown and then he composed back to his original smile. I wonder why?
“Okay, you’re buying that dress with its matching shoes” He states and goes off to get the shoes.
------------
I’ve been sitting in a chair for about two hours letting Carter do my make-up and hair. If I would have known he was gonna take this long, I would have said no. Through the entire two hours, he was dead silent. Usually when I let him make over me he’s so talkative, it get s annoying. Now, he just did it in silence like if his mind was elsewhere.
“Carter, you want to speed up the pace, Harry said he’ll be here in less than an hour” I whine at him. He hushes me and continues working on my face.
----A while later----
“OKAY. Done” He stands back and hands me a mirror. I look at my reflection and see the girl staring back at me is not me. The girl staring back at me looks like she should be in a magazine or something.
Carter did a soft brown, smokey eye with a light blush, full lashes and pink lips; keeping it simple yet nice. He left my hair in its natural loose curls and did a romantic up do and pinned some loose pearl bobby pins in the bun, leaving a couple of loose strands out. I loved it all.
“Carter, you did amazing. Thank you so much” I hug him and kiss him on the cheeky which he quickly whips and reapplies my lip stick. That boy, he swears. He smiles a bit sadly and nods for me to put on my dress.
After helping me put my dress on and matching nude heels, we hear a knock on the door. My heart quickly starts to speed up and butterflies attack my stomach. I feel my hands start to get sweaty and something’s telling me I should just change into jeans.
“Go on, you don’t want to keep him waiting.” Carter tells me still with that lost puppy face. I smile at him and hug him again. “Thanks for being so incredible with me Carter” I whisper in his ear before leaving my room to open the door.
I open the door and there stood the sexiest guy on this planet. Harry. I can’t describe the feeling I got when I saw him, it just took my breath away. He was wearing a black tux with a maroon bow time that hung loose around his neck. He looked at me and smiled, I couldn’t help but smile back.
“Melody, you look breath taking beautiful” He whispers, inching closer to me. I smile again and feel my face flush.
“You don’t look too bad yourself” I whisper seductively back which making him grin his cheeky smile.
“Shall we go” He extends his hand towards me. I nod and take his hand, letting him lead me to our date.
