Chapter 13

“I love it!” She lurched forward, crushing her lips to mine. “I have the perfect dress to go with your hair.” I watched as she rushed towards the bed and brought back a sparkling silver bag. “Try this on.”

I opened the bag and pulled out an all too short ebony dress. “I can’t wear this!”

“Oh, come on,” she whined. “Try it on. Please,” she said with a pout. How could I say no when she looked at me that way?

I sighed, stripping off my clothes. I wiggled my hips around, barely managing to shimmy into the clingy material. I felt like a tightly wrapped burrito. “This isn’t me,” I said when I looked down. I cursed the pudginess in my stomach.

“Don’t be so hard on yourself, Jessa. So you’re not a size zero. What does it matter? You’re still smoking hot in that dress!” She grabbed me by the wrist and literally dragged me towards the full-length mirror. “Look at yourself,” she urged. She turned me to face the mirror, bringing her palm to rest on my abdomen.
