I tug at the barely-there pink bikini , double knotting the strings behind my back. I peer into the mirror. I like what I see suprisingly. The light pink compliments my tan skin tone, and long wispy blonde hair. When Melanie (Louis's girlfriend) got here, i was thinking well, shoot. First of all, this girl looks like she literally just pranced off the cover of Seventeen magizine. Long, dirty blonde locks, and big, brown innocent eyes, and a small smile on her glossy lips, that made you think that she knew something you didnt. When she handed me the bathing suit, i was like, get real. But now... i look hot. I wander off to my room to put my clothes in a drawer until after the party.
The bedroom is giagantic, with wide oak floor boards, and bulky, but classy furnature like the rest of the house. the bed is made with lime green sheets, matching the bean bag in the corner. i walk over to the large dresser, and slide the top drawer open. It's full, with make up. I can't help but think this is exactly what i think it is, when i hear footsteps at the door. I turn, expecting Harry. But it's just Natty.
"Hey. Harry asked for me to check on you. You look great!"
"Thanks! so do you!" Sliding the drawer closed, slowly so Natty won't think i'm snooping.
"Oh, and thats my make-up if you were wondering. actually I should probably move it. I keep it in here so i can 're -apply' after the pool" she smiles, collecting the make up. " You can use it if you want"
"Um... actually, i would love it. some of the girls here are really stunning."
"Oh shut it georgous." She waves her hand dismissavley.
We sit by the giant wall mirror on the floor, and do makeup.
I sweep silver eye shadow on my eye lids, and put mascara on just the bottom of my eye. I put on light lip gloss, and a little bit of blush. I let my hair spill down my back, and sholders. Natty looks really pretty. She is wearing a navy blue strapless suit, with peach eye shadow. she pins her hair back, and we head outside.
The sky is much darker now, and tiki torches line the pool. The smell of burning wood lingers in the air. The backyard is filling up of models, and celebrities. Niall, Harry and Liam sit in a bunch on the deck of the house. Natty and I join them, and recieve whistles in return. We spin in circles, tilting our heads this way, and that, jokingly.
The boys laugh, and I crash on a chair next to Harry, feeling tingly.
"Vivian, this is Liam." Hary introduces.
"H-Hey Liam. Great to meet you" I say shaking his hand.
"You too Love! You guys look great" He says.
Natty holds Niall's hand, and gives me a wink.
Harry asks if any of us want a drink. I offer to help, and we take everyones orders as we head to the outside tiki themed bar.
"So tell me. You got any parents that are worring 'bout you being here?"
"I've got one." I reply jokingly, as I grab two corona beers from the mini fridge.
Harry stares into my eyes kindly showing me he's listening, so I continue. "Well, my mom's an alchoholic, and my dad died from drugs when I was a kid." I've never been to guarded about my parents. Whoever I told the story would either feel bad for me, or never speak to me again. I can't stand sympathy. Like if I didnt want you to know, I wouldnt talk about it. I'm not the kind of person who goes around trying to get attention, and make people feel sorry for me. I know how ugly my life is, and who cares what other people think.
"I'm so sorry" He says, and reaches for my hand. Something about the way he looks at me brings a tear to my eye. WHAT AM I DOING? hello? Sympathy?
But for some reason I cant bring myself to say 'don't be' shrug, and walk away like I normaly do.
"It's fine" I respond, looking at the floor, and picking an imaginary string from my bathing suit top.
Harry begins mixing drinks, so I continue.
"I've got a sister though. Ezmie. Her name is. She loves you guys like, more than anyone."
"She at the concert with you?"
"No. That was my friend. Cameron. She err.. actually is why i um... cut myself" I say quickley.
Harry looks deeply into my eyes, looking for something.
"Oh" is all he manages.
"Yeah. So tell me about you sir." I say changing the topic, feeling aqward.
"Not much to tell actually. My life is really boring compared to yours."
"Please!" I snort.
"Its true!" Harry exclaims.
"mmhhmmmm.." I say and flirtily walk past him, scooping up Liam's drink on my way. I can feel Harry's eyes on my back the whole way.
