The Lady from Before

I stood up happily and went through a rack full of new clothing for men. I handed him a nice 3 piece formal slim fit silver checkered blazer with a white dress shirt and bow tie with black pants

"Wait, where are you going?" he was about to head towards the fitting room

"To try it on"

"No, not yet. I'm still choosing."

"It took you 30 minutes to decide on this." he pointed out

"I know but elegance can't be rushed."

"I'll look better than the King if this goes on"

"So what? Brother wouldn't mind that, would he? Besides he likes seeing exquisite attires, that's why he likes to throw parties"

"I really can't win against you huh?" he said defeated

"I just want you to be the most gorgeous man in the entire kingdom" I proudly declared

He was amused by my words and stood there patiently as I continue my search

The old woman was now looking at us from behind the counter, she let us go over the clothes as we wished

I was handing him another suit that had a beige coat and tie along with a brown dress shirt inside and pants.

The last one was a unique colored suit, it was a combination of sky and navy blue that gave it a powdery shade of light purple and blue. It's buttons and collar was a darker shade same goes for the pants that was included as well as the outer lining of the bow tie, a lighter shade filled the rest of the vest and coat as well as the inside of the bow tie. The white dress short inside gave emphasis to its amazing colors, it was eye-catching and stunning.

All of the clothes on the rack had their own special charm but I was proud of what I've chosen for him and besides he might change his mind if I took longer hahaha!

"I'm done" I declared and he tried on all three suits

The suits looked like it was custom made for him as they all fit perfectly. The dress shirt hugging his muscular chest as the vest highlights his abs and giving it a perfect finish is the coat as it accentuates his broad shoulders.

"Perfect!" I joyfully announced, smoothing the fabric on his shoulders and fixing his bowtie "You look wonderful." I sweetly flattered him. His tan cheekbones were reddening again and I couldn't help but let out a chuckle

"You're so shy." I teased

"Look who's talking" he said pointing at my cheeks

I hurriedly covered my face with my hands but it was already too late, he had noticed my cheeks blushing before I could even realize it

Then out of nowhere I heard that tinkling sound again

We both looked at the door to see who it was, then my heart dropped to the floor. It was the elegant young lady from before. I felt ashamed and embarrassed at the same time but mostly it was jealousy that dominated my emotions.

"Hi, mom!" she cheerfully greeted the old woman

"Hi honey, is your father still asleep?"

"Yes mom, I guess he was very tired from working all night"

"I guess, he was busier than always"

The two women were busy chatting when they finally noticed us

"Oh, they came in a little while ago" her mother pointed out

"Hi! You're back!" she rushed to greet us with a wide smile and sparkling eyes that were directly looking at Monty especially in that suit

"Ah, yes. We weren't able to buy anything the last time we were here." he shyly explained

"That suit looks amazing on you!" she said a little too happy as she tried to get closer to him to fix his bow tie

Monty froze at her actions but I would never let her touch him no matter what

"Ahem!" I called out interrupting her

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was too ahead of myself" she apologized but still smiled at him

Monty was a gentleman and would never be rude to a lady so he just nodded

I could sense that she was planning to flirt with him again so I immediately grabbed Monty's left hand and raised it to my side where it was visible enough for her to see.

"Oh, are you two-"

"Dating?" I asked cutting her off

"Yes, yes we are!" to my surprise Monty answered and my heart was dancing in joy

"Ohh, I'm sorry. I didn't meant to…" she looked embarrassed

"It's okay. No hard feelings." I warmly told her

Hearing Monty answer her and breaking out of his shyness was enough to make me feel confident about anything

She shyly went back to her mother as I turn to Monty and fixed his bow tie with utmost care

"What do you think? Should we get this one?" he asked me

"This one makes you look like a prince!"

"Let's not go that far" he exclaimed laughing "I think I like this one as well"

"I'm serious, you could overthrow Julien wearing that" I whispered sheepishly

"Hahahaha!" now he was laughing so hard his face has gone red again

"Shhh… quiet down!" that was the first time Monty ever let out his feelings in public. Looking around, the young woman was nowhere in sight. Maybe she went home

Monty returned to the fitting room and put on his normal clothes back. I also finished choosing dresses to try on.

Feeling satisfied with my look in the mirror, I took off the dress and pulled on my outdoor clothes

"You didn't try it on?" he asked looking confused that I wasn't showing him the dress

"I did."

"You're not going to let me see?"

"No, it's a surprise!"

"That's a little unfair"

"Trust me it's worth it" he looked a little sad but I cheered him up with a kiss on the cheek

"We're in a public place" he protested in a whisper

"It's okay. No one saw it and you're face shows it all" his left cheek already looked like a ripe tomato

"Let's go." he said with reddened cheeks

We paid for the clothes and all the other accessories I got to complete the attire

"I'm sorry about my daughter causing you both trouble. She's a bit insensitive sometimes" the old woman apologized as we were at the counter paying "To make it up to you, I'll give you a discount"

"No, it's okay madam. No harm done." I smiled at her and gave her the exact amount of gold coins

As soon as we got out of the store I felt a cold breeze pass by. I hugged myself as I shivered in front of the store

"Here." Monty covered me with his coat "Told you it was cold outside" he said rubbing his hands together to produce heat and placed it on my cheeks "feel better?"
