Song: Tove Lo - Talking Body

Now if we're talking body, you got a perfect one, so put it on me...

        "You done yet!" Marley's shouting wouldn't stop. She wanted everyone ready once she was, her mind set to prom-mode, excited was an understatement.

Grier's brunette hair fell down in waves around her. Collarbones sparkly, her skin a warm color, now more shimmery from Marley's body glitter attack earlier on. Her brown eyes stared back at her, wider, brighter; she had to thank her best friend once again for that. Bracelets adorned her right wrist, lilacs and silvers matching the dress the best she could. Nude heels on her feet, toes and fingernails in clear polish; a natural touch all around. She wanted to embody innocence the best she could. She went for the boy-can't-take-his-eyes-off-me-look, that boy would be Niall.

        "Ready," walking slowly out the bathroom, her heels clicking on the tile floor, soft sounding as she walked onto the carpet. Marley turned with wide eyes, her stare roaming her best friends body. "Lesbi-honest, you're a knockout. Fxck, I'd bang you in that." Grier cocked her head, a weird smirk adorning her face as she thought about that comment, "thank you..." "You're welcome." Marley's huge smile accompanied her kind words, even if they were a tad lesbian-ish. They giggled in the middle of the room together as hugging brought them to silence. "You look really pretty too, Marley." A sheepish smile, bowing her head, "thanks Grier." "Welcome." Grier's hand on Marley's shoulder, squeezing the exposed skin tenderly.

Walking out of the room, Grier's Mother having a moment for pictures, even with the faces Grier made, she insisted. A motherly hug keeping her from a young man outside. A young man on her mind, day and night. "Have a good time." Marley and Grier smiled at her, Marley being the first one to speak back, "oh, we will, Ms. Hawl." A small smile and nod exchanged between a mother and daughter as she walked behind her outgoing friend. A warm heart in letting her daughter go, something of joy filling her empty hands, an empty hold now right; Happiness in a daughter's eyes, transfixed with maturity as she walks away. It's okay, she'll be okay.

        "Who's ready to party!?" Cackles and shouts from the boys as they all got into the limo. Sleek, black, shining top. The door held open by the older driver, a blonde haired boy giving him a firm hand-shake. Turning slowly to catch his dates stare. His baby blue eyes gleaming under the sunlight. A fresh day, brand new and awaiting the night sky. A beautiful smile etched on Niall's face, his eyes dancing along to the bounce of her dress as she walked towards him. A hand outstretched to her, grasping it, pulling her into his arms, enveloping her as always. "You look so beautiful, Grier." Snuggling her face lightly into his chest. His hand on the small of her back, fingers sprawled around the area and his lips kissing her hair. Backing away, her eyes going from his bright blue ones to his lips, kissing him quickly, "you look very handsome." A shy smile fills the space they stand quiet in. "Thanks, baby."

...

        "What a dress..." Harry's hands delicately touching the fabric. "Harry, get your hands off my girl." A scoff is made in Niall's direction, "hands are on the dress, calm your shxt, Horan." Eyebrows raised from the Irish man. "The dress that is on my girl, and your filthy paws are on it, so get." "Relax..." A scrunched nose at Niall from Grier, his index tapping her cute button nose back, settling the situation. "Watch it, Styles," "Fine, besides I rather be touching my man, black suit, yes please." Snickers from Marley and Grier, a hum coming from Louis.
