Chapter 8

{ Aribella's POV }

After Calum caught me, we went back to Emma and Michael. I saw them shake hands... As if making a bet... The curiosity is slaughtering me.

After a little while, we all sit down and get into a conversation about squirrels... The guys are so weird. I just listened and played with Calum's fingers... Don't judge me.

I was pretty zoned out as of the moment... Right as Calum and Michael were getting loud, we heard a huge "Aww".

We moved our heads slightly to see all of the girls walk out of the room; It must be time to leave. I look up to see Ashton and Luke walking towards us.

"Hey! Sorry guys, they attacked us... But it looks like you were entertained?" They laugh, and I feel a blush crawl its way on my face as I look at Em who is trying her hardest to hide the colors dancing on her cheeks.

Calum just nods his head, "It's fine. Guys this is Ari and Emma." They look us up and down taking in our full appearances, "Hi!"

"Hey, I guess we have to go now Em." She nods, but isn't happy about it. We stand up, preparing to leave and as soon as we start to get up we are immediately pulled back down.

"Noooooo. Don't leave yet. We were just having fun." Calum whines. I notice Michael just clutching onto Emma, his face buried into her side. It is pretty awkward, when you have Ashton and Luke smirking at us.

I finally start to wriggle out of his grip. "Cal let go of me! I have to go home."
"Why?"
"To sleep. To eat. To feed my puppy." I ramble on as I stand up; everyone in tow. I hear Michael and Calum sigh as we walk to the door and hug them goodbye. Before we could open the car door, we hear the guys:
"Expect a text! I put my number in your phone Ari."

I didn't question it. With a simple 'bye' yelled back, we conclude our conversation and as soon as the car doors shut;
"AHHHHH!!!"

I sit on my bed with my laptop for company. The parliament watching me with concentration as I lead the discussion over the video chat we set up.

"Okay everyone. So we have finally come to an agreement? The children center will begin construction in one month. We will also need another meeting about the new wing in St. Noah's hospital soon. Any questions?" I stare at the screen.

"No your highness. We will set up another meeting and notify you soon. Goodbye."

I log off with a smirk on my face. I then move on to the orders that mother sent me to check out. As I start to read my second page, Emma charges into the room.

"Okay Ari. Enough with princess duty. We are on VACATION. No paperwork." She rips the papers out of my hand and I let out a shriek in return.

"HEY! Those are important."

"So is our vacation."

"Emma, I can't just blow off all of my duties. You wouldn't understand since your brother is first in line."

"Yeah yeah. This is our break though. Also, Marco said our parents sent us something."

"Oh. Where is it?"

"Outside. I don't know what it is and it is killing me." I laugh and follow her to the front door. We open to only gasp. A black 1968 Chevrolet Camaro with white racing stripes is parked right next to a dark blue 2015 Ford Mustang convertible.

This is what we've always wanted.

Marco comes out and whistles at the new babies.
"Damn, those cars are fine, I might have to borrow them sometime." Emma snapped back into reality at that sentence.

"Touch them and your death is certain."

"Ok, ok. I was messing with you two. I'm going to go to town and then I'll be back."

We run to our cars and Emma practically hugs hers, "I'm in love with this car, Ari. This is my new baby." She said, wallowing all over the hood.
"Haha I-" I was cut off by a text.
From: cAL
Hey do you two want to meet up in town with us?

To: cAL
Sure. Meet us at the mall in an hour.

"Em, we need to get ready to meet the boys in an hour." And with that she runs inside and upstairs to change; I, myself, directly behind her.

"EM! What do I wear?" Not a minute later, she comes in with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

This can't be good.

She yanks a piece of darkish purple fabric out and throws it at me, I can't look at it to see what is before she runs and pulls out a pair of dark short shorts from my dresser.

"Hey-" I can't finish my sentence, before I'm being shoved in my bathroom.

'Let's get this over with.. ' I think out loud as I stare at the pile of clothes in my hand.

"Emma Genevieve! Are you serious?!" I walk out of the bathroom with a massive frown on my face.

"Damn, girl, looking hot," I scowl at her as I turn to my mirror. I'm wearing a darkish purple bralette that comes almost 5 inches above my bellybutton, and a pair of half black/half purple galaxy short shorts. This is so exposing. I have never shown this much skin before.

"You look great. All of the guys will be on their knees begging. Trust me."

"I don't know about this Em... I feel uncomfortable."

"How about this? I wear one too and I promise to kick ANYONE'S ass if they do anything inappropriate. I swear."

I stare at her for a good 2 minutes before nodding apprehensively. She jumps and screams, "Yay! I'll be right back. Finish getting ready while I change." I do as I'm told as she walks out of the room. I curl my hair at the ends and do a mild smokey eye to match my dark outfit. As soon as I was finished, Emma walks back in my room. Her outfit consists of a white bralette with black lace detailing and a pair of black high waisted short shorts. She also wore a pair of (steel toed) black combat boots.

"Here you go girlie. Put these on." She hands me a pair of black ankle booties with zippers on the inner sides.

"You are really trying to make me look like a badass, aren't you?"
"Well, as bad-ass as a goodie-goodie can get. But you look amazing, so it's a good thing."

I slip on the booties and we walk down stairs to see Marco on the couch. He looks up and his eyes widen.

"Damn girls. If I didn't have a boyfriend, I would gladly fuck both of you."

I feel a blush overtake my face while Emma just laughs and pulls me outside. Before I could even speak, she yells, "I'M DRIVING!"

I just walk to her car and get in. We soon pull out of the driveway to go meet 5 Seconds of Summer.
