A Heart Break In Time

Okay, Now Let's Worry About How You Get There.

I took a nap before the party, I woke up to FRIDAY letting me know it was time to get ready. I climbed out of bed and made my way to my closet but I was quickly interrupted by a knock at my door. "Come in!"

Angel and Eva walked in. "Can we get ready together?" They both were smiling at me and I could tell they were a bit nervous.

"Only if Eva lets me French braid her hair." I smiled back.

"Deal." She grinned back and they moved to my bed, putting their dresses down.

I went into my bathroom and pulled out hair styling supplies. "Angel, hair straight or curly?"

"For me or you?" She questioned, walking into the doorway.

"You, love."

"Curly." Angel smiled.

"Well then, take your throne." I smiled, gesturing to the closed toilet seat as I plugged in the curling wand. I lightly combed her hair and sprayed it with heat protectant. "What color is your dress?"

"Red. Eva's is green."

I laughed. "Are you serious?"

"Yes? Why?"

"The two of you are Christmas colored!" I laughed again, considering they never noticed that.

"Angel!" Eva yelled from my bedroom.

Angel started laughing at the annoyance in Eva's voice. "Oh my, I never even noticed that! That's amazing. We just have to avoid each other all night so no one else notices it. What color are you wearing?"

"Black." I replied, after I stopped laughing. "Just something simple. I got Peter in blue. I don't know what else anyone is wearing."

"Sam's wearing red, too. We picked ours out together. I think Steve is wearing blue as well. Kai I didn't notice."

"Speaking of Kai!" Eva said from the doorway. She already put on her dress. It was long and elegant, with green beading throughout it.

I stared at her in awe. "Holy shit, Eva! You look amazing!"

"Don't I?" She smiled. "But don't change the subject! How's the threesome going?"

"First of all, there's no threesome. Don't call it a threesome." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Seriously! You have two hot boyfriends and there's no threesome? What, are they super straight or something 'cause I really don't think Kai is and honestly, all of the internet would be very disappointed to hear that Stucky is not a thing."

I stared at her. "What the hell is Stucky?" She opened her mouth to speak and I held my hand up to stop her. "Never mind. I don't want to know. It's going fine, really. Honestly I see them getting along and I love it. They're both so similar but different at the same time. I don't know. I'm just trying to be happy right now and not think about it too much." I shrugged.

"The strawberry incident really hurt you, didn't it?" Angel asked.

Stupid mind reader. She smirked. "Yeah. Yeah it did. It shouldn't though, right? Like why does it?" I asked before grabbing the wand and starting to curl Angel's hair.

"It was a big relationship. Even if it didn't work out. To think someone that important to you forgot something that big, it's hurtful. I'd be upset if a friend forgot something like that. Let alone past love."

"Yeah, Steve's a dick. Fuck Steve!" Eva stated. "Did you want me to do anything to my hair while I wait?"

I passed her the leave in conditioner spray. "Make it a little damp with this. I'll be done in a bit."

"You deserve to be happy, Talia." Angel said firmly. I didn't have anything to say back so I just finished her hair and moved on to Eva's. Her hair took a while and by the time I was done my hands hurt, but she looked elegant and beautiful. I made sure to leave some strands hanging to frame her face and took the curling wand to them.

"There. You're perfect. I have makeup in the drawer. Help yourselves you two, I'm going to get dressed. Careful, the wand is still hot." I smiled and walked back to my closet and pulled out the dress. I stripped naked and grabbed a new pair of underwear. The dress required me to go braless so underwear was all I needed. I put the dress on and it fit perfectly in all the right places. I went back to the bathroom and the girls were putting their finishing touches on their face. Eva looked at me and smiled widely.

"Wowza! You look great!"

Angel agreed. "You really do, both boys are going to love it."

I giggled. "Thanks, guys." It had been so long since I had a genuine friendship with any other woman recently. I missed Nat, so much. All of this just made me miss her more. But in a good way. In a "I'm so happy I had her" way. And soon Wanda would be back, and we could have that again. I again hoped that she would get along with the two new girls.

"I already love her just based on what I see in your head." Angel smiled at me.

"Oh, we thinking about Wanda again?" Eva asked and we nodded. "I saw pictures of her. She's kinda hot."

I burst out laughing. "She's beautiful yes but don't be crude." I swatted at her.

"I'm just saying!" Eva put her hands up in defense and I laughed again. I sprayed the heat protectant on my hair and combed it through before grabbing the curling wand off the counter and started to give myself some loose curls. When it was done, I shut the wand off, threw on some simple eyeliner and lip gloss before going to my closet and grabbing my heels. I had just put them on the bed next to me and started to put one on when there was a knock at my door. I was both excited and worried it would be one of the boys. I wanted to be a surprise when I came out for the party.

I opened the door to see a familiar red head smiling at me.
