Learning how to fly (Niall Horan fanfic)

23 - Finding a dress

*Rikke's POV*

For the first time in I don't know how long I felt fresh and really awake when I woke up. Tonight was New Year's Eve and I felt excitement floating in my veins. I jumped out of bed and put on some music while grapping some food. I took a shower and sang on the top of my lungs, after the shower I pulled on some light blue tight pants and a knitted sweater. I did my hair and decided not to put any make-up on. Eleanor and I had agreed to get ready together and I had promised her, that she could do my make-up and my hair. I don't know if I was most excited to spent the day with Eleanor or to spent the night with all of my new friends and finally have a fun night.

My phone buzzed, telling me that Eleanor was ready to go, so I headed off to the city.

"Hi sweetheart" she said and gave me a warm hug.

"Well hello beautiful, you look good" I replied and saw her blush a bit.

"Let's go shopping!" she wined, and we did.

Three hours and countless of shops later we still hadn't found a dress for me and I got tired of it "Let's drop it and just by some pants" I said, but of course Eleanor wouldn't accept that.

"No way Rikke, you're gonna wear a dress tonight, I'll bet there is one in this shop" she said and pulled me with her.

"Sure you will…" I sighed "We are never gonna find a beautiful dress for me, I look ridiculous in anything else but pants" I continued trying to convince her, but she wasn't listening, instead she was looking at something in front of her. I looked in the same direction as her and guess what? I saw the most beautiful dress I've ever seen.

"There it is" she whispered, took my hand, the dress and pushed me into the fitting room.

"Here we go again..." I mumbled just high enough for Eleanor to hear me.

"Shut up and put the dress on" she cut me off.

"El, this one won't look pretty on me, just like the 100 other dresses didn't"

"Just hurry up Riks" she said.

I did as she said. "Will you zip me up?" I asked.

When she was done I turned around so Eleanor could see me. Her eyes grew big and her face cracked in a big smile.

"It's perfect" she said with sparkling eyes.

"Yeah right" I said and turned around to take a look at myself in the mirror.

 That can't be me... can it? 

In the mirror I saw a girl in a one shouldered red dress, it fitted perfectly around my waist and pointed out my boobs a bit, above my butt it stacked out and ended at the middle of my thighs. I looked beautiful, all because of a dress.

"You have to buy it" El said "It's like that dress is made only for you, you're gonna be stunning tonight!" she smiled at me "Get it off so we can go home and get ready"

I bought the dress and we went home at my flat, where Niall and Louis would pick us up in 4 hours.

We'd had the most amazing day finding the dress. At a time we went into a very expensive shop where Eleanor found a lot of funny looking clothes and we tried it on, making funny voices and stuff like that.

We sat down in the couch for a while, relaxing after all the running around from shop to shop.

"So are you excited for tonight?" she asked.

"I think so" I said "I just hope I can enjoy it, you know, I hope I won't get depressed or something like that. I don't wanna ruin the night for you guys"
