My Name is NOT Cupcake novel Chapter 15

The town looked nice from the car ride to the house. I was curious to see if the town was as happy as it seemed from the quick ride. I smiled and darted up the stairs. I was actually excited to go outside of the house for the first time. I quickly showered and ran mousse through my hair before it could get frizzy. After pinning my bangs back with a simple clip. I brushed my teeth and went to find something suitable. I remembered what Elias said about the town waiting to meet me. I thought it was odd, but I figured that jeans and a t-shirt wouldn't suffice. I dug through the closet until I found the perfect sundress. It was sort of stretchy with a small V-neck. The pattern was made up of Hawaiian flowers on a sky blue background. It was tight until the waist and then it flowed to just above my knees. I paired it with white converse. After I felt suitably dressed, I met Elias back in the living room. He looked over my attire shocked. I suddenly felt self-conscious as I held my arms in front of my stomach and blushed.

"I'll go change," I muttered quickly, turning on my heels. Elias caught my arm gently and pulled me closer to him.

"No... you look great, love. I just... I wasn't expecting a dress," he said softly. I blushed even more if that was even possible. He looked at my face confused.

"I liked your freckles," he said. I shrugged, tossing my hair over my shoulder. Okay, so maybe I put on a little makeup as well. Those townswomen really thought of everything.

"Ready?" I asked, trying to change the subject. He smirked and offered me his arm.
