"What about this one?" I ask Amber, handing her a light blue dress. She looks at it and shakes her head.
"No...I mean it's cute, but not what I'm looking for." She hands it back to me and walks to the next aisle. "Besides that dress is more of your style."
"Oh. Right." I put the dress back and walk to the aisle of dresses she's looking at. These dresses were either black, white, or silver and very small. She picks a black one and holds it against her body.
"I like this one. I'm going to try it on. Can you find me some heels?" Amber walks toward the dressing rooms and turns back. "Oh and Nessa?"
"Yeah." I look toward her direction and smile.
"Make sure the heels are actually ones that I'd wear."
"Of course." I walk toward the section of the store that had shoes. I wish I was buying something, Forever 21 is my favorite store in the mall. I find a pair of black heels that are at least four inches. I'm sure Amber would love these. I head back to the dressing room and wait.
"So..." Amber walks out from the dressing room. "Whatcha think?"
"Oh um..." I look up and I am completely shocked. The dress is skin tight and falls right below her bum. "Wow."
"I know right. It's perfect." She goes back and changes. When she comes out again, she looks at me worriedly.
"Did you get me some heels?""Oh yeah. Here." I hand her the four inch heels and she squeals.
"Oh em gee!!! These a perfect. I was worried for a second." We walk to the register and she pays for her outfit.
"Want to get Starbucks?" I suggest as we leave the store. She looks at me and nods, but there is a frown on her face. "Am, what's wrong?"
"Are you sure you can't come to the party with me? Please it will be loads of fun." She begs me as we head to Starbucks.
"Sorry. I can't. Lindy is at my house for the weekend." Right when I mention Lindy's name, Amber sighs.
"Come on Nessa. You spend almost every weekend with Lindy. The last time you went to a party with me was like a month ago." I can tell by her voice that she's getting annoyed.
"As much as I'd love to go to the party with you, I can't. I promised my mom is be back by 7:30. I quickly look at my watch. Thank God. It's only 5:28.
"Vanessa.." Amber whines. I just shake my head and order our drinks. We sit at a table and Amber sighs really loud, earning looks from the people around us. "Fine! But promise me something."
"Okay. What is it?" I'm glad she's not mad at me. I hate when we fight.
"Next time I go to a party. You have to come with me." I quickly agree because there's no way that would be any time soon. We get up to get our drinks and walk to the parking lot. "I'm glad you agree! There's a party on Sunday that I got invited to. And you can't use Lindy as an excuse because she won't be at your house anymore."
"Yeah, but I kinda have a date with Nick on Sunday." After the words left my mouth, Amber smiled.
"So your dating Nick. Since when? Omg!! Can I be your maid of honor?" I unlock my door and giggle at her reaction.
"Calm down, Am. No. I'm not dating Nick. We are just going on a date. And we are definitely NOT getting married." She laughs and gets into the passenger seat.
"But I'd still be your maid of honor, right?" I nod and she sighs in relief. Of course she'd be my maid of honor. She's my best friend. Amber seemed to remember something because she smirks. "Nessa, what time is your date with Nick?"
"Um it's a lunch date, so he said he'd pick me up at 12:30."
"And what time will it be over?" Why is she asking me this. Oh whatever.
"Well we are just getting lunch because he has something else he has to do." Nick was going to the movies with a girl named Lily. They've been seeing each other for about 2 weeks. Lily knows that Nick and I are just friends, so she's really cool. "So I'd say around 1:30. Why?"
"Because silly you're going to the party with me then. After your date come over to my place. The party starts at 7:00." I just sigh and agree since I already promised her.
********At Amber's House
"Okay finished!" Amber yells. I look up from my phone and frown. Amber notices my reaction and her smile falters. "Is there something wrong with my outfit?"
"No, no. It's just..." I don't know how to explain. The dress was cut out on the back, which showed Amber's entire back. It was also really short. "It's a bit too revealing. Don't you think?"
"Oh Vanessa." She giggles. "I'm going to a party, not to church."
"Right. So do you need a ride or is you car fixed?" Amber's car got a flat tire last week when went to San Francisco last weekend.
"Actually my car is still in the shop, but no worries. I'm getting picked up..." She checks the time and I do too. It's 7:12. "In about 8 minutes."
"Oh." Is all I said. Amber did some final touches on her makeup and the doorbell rang.
"Coming!" She shouts and grabs a small purse and her phone. I follow her downstairs. She opens the door revealing a guy with blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes.
"You look amazing!" He has a strong Irish accent. The guy gives her a quick peck on the cheek. I give them a confused look and the guy laughs. "I'm Niall Horan. Amber's boyfriend. And you are?"
"Vanessa Little, Amber's best friend." I look at Amber and she's mouths 'he's the one I was telling you about'. I smile at Niall and give Amber a hug goodbye.
I get into my car and drive home. I really hope that Sunday doesn't come soon.
