The Locket | Hero Fiennes Tiffin

Asking Him

Amelia

I get to my room and go straight to the bathroom to get ready. The bathroom has a white and copper theme. All of the metal work is copper, whilst the cabinets and appliances are white. Three of the walls are white marble and the other one is completely glass and has doors which lead out side to the balcony in the middle (it is the same in my bedroom), in front of it is the free standing bath. The  floor is covered in white tiles and there is a massive led mirror above the sink. The shower is in the corner along the same wall as the sink and mirror.

First I take off all of my wet clothes and put on a strapless bikini, so that I can fake tan. I go into the cupboard under the sink and grab my fake tan. I bought it when I was last home at Christmas. It is now the end of June, so it should still hopefully be in date. I then rummage around in the cupboard and find a tanning mitt to apply it with.

Once I find a tanning mitt, I pump some of the fake tan onto it and apply it all over my body, including my face because of how pale I am naturally.

I finish applying the fake tan and then think about what I can do in the next 2 hours whilst I am waiting for my tan to develop. I decide that I should paint my nails first. I go into my room and then into my wardrobe, where at the end there is a mirror and underneath is a white chest of drawers that holds all of my makeup and things like that on one side and more clothes on the other side. I open the bottom drawer, which has things like fake eyelashes and nail polish in. I pick out a sparkly Rose gold colour and go back into the bathroom to apply it since I don't want to get fake tan on the teal velvet chair that I normally sit on when I do my makeup.

I sit on the floor by the bath and start to paint my nails the rose gold colour. Whilst I wait for the first coat to dry, I look out the window at the garden and the beach beyond that. Everything just feels so peaceful here. That is until my silence is interrupted by Molly, who knocks on the door. I get up to open it.

"Hi, I'm just letting you know I've left a dress for you on your bed" she smiles
"Okay, but I was planning on wearing my black off the shoulder dress" I reply
"Please, wear the dress I gave you. I think it will really suit you. Also I'm pretty sure you wore that dress to great Aunty Margaret's funeral 3 years ago" she begs
"Fine I'll wear the dress" I give in.
"Okay thank you. Also, have you managed to ask Hero yet?" She asks
"No not yet. I'll do it now" I reply.
"Okay, thank you. You can tell me what he said when you come through to my room to do your hair and make up" she tells me.
"Okay I will. See you later" I say in a funny voice as I slowly shut the door. I can hear Molly laughing on the other side of the door.

I go back over to where I was sitting and wait for my nails to dry properly, so that I don't get any on my white bedroom carpet when I go and get my phone. They take a few minutes but once they are dry, I leave the bathroom and go into my bed room to get my phone. I go into my bed room and search for my phone. I check on my bed, on the other bed, in my wardrobe, on my desk and I can't find it or my handbag anywhere. Great.

I wrack my brain thinking of all the other places it could be. It could be by the pool. It could be in the kitchen. It could be in my car. It could even be at the hotel. The only places I thankfully know it isn't, are in London or on the plane. I decide that I will check all of these places, obviously leaving the hotel as a last resort. But first I need to put on some proper clothes because at the minute I am only wearing a purple strapless bikini, so I go into my wardrobe and grab a black vest top and shorts.

After I get dressed. I go downstairs to check by the pool. It's not there so I check the kitchen. It's also not there, so I go and get my car keys so that I can search my car. I pick up my keys and a pair of random shoes, that don't fit from by the front door and go out the front door. I go over to my car and unlock it. It is most likely going to be in either the boot or the passenger side footwell. I go over to the passenger door and look in the footwell. Surprise, surprise. It's not there. I hope it's in the boot because town is half an hour away, that and I don't want to stain my car seats with fake tan. It would not be a pretty sight.

I go around to the back of the car and open the boot. Thank god my handbag is there along with Penelope's school bag. It's the weekend tomorrow, but she'll need it on Monday for her last week of being a primary 1.

I grab them both, close the boot and lock my car. Then I go back into the house and drop my car keys off and the school bag on the way back to my room. When I reach my room I go straight back into the bathroom and sit back in my spot by the window. I take my phone out of my handbag and dial Hero for the second time today. He is going to think I'm a total weirdo.

I just got in from playing football with a few of my mates, when my phone rings. I take it out of my pocket and see who it is. It's Amelia. I wonder why she's calling me. Isn't she supposed to be at a dress fitting or something right now?. I pick up the call.

"Hi" I answer.
"Hi. I know this sounds weird but..... my sister has kind of invited you to her wedding  at the end of next month. You don't have to come if you don't want to" she replies sounding nervous.
"What, Why?" I  laugh. Why has someone I haven't seen since I was 11 invited me to their wedding?
"She just asked me to invite you, plus you're mum is one of my mum's closest friends and is also coming" she replies.
"Okay. Well I have some time off work now, so when is it?" I ask
"Friday the 26th of July" she replies.
"Yeah, I'll be able to come" I reply.
"Great, I'll tell my sister" she replies sounding excited. "I can tell you more about the wedding when I get back next week" she tells me.
"Okay, bye" I say
"Bye" she replies. Then the call ends.

Well that was one of the weirdest phone calls I've ever had.
