The Bachelors: a tiktok story

54: Party Time

You stopped at Emma's apartment and she rushed off into one of the 3 bedrooms. You looked around at all the delicate decore and it was clear only women lived there. Within minutes it all made sense...

You picked up a framed photo of Eva, Olivia, and Emma that looked like they'd been no more than 16 when it was taken. They weren't just all best friends, united in the cause of making your life miserable... They were also roommates. you still didn't know where that left a friendship with Emma.

Emma walked back in dressed in a gorgeous sheer corset top and blue jeans and asked:
"Do you think I need to touch up my makeup more?"

You were stunned:
"Wow. No, you look fantastic. Wait... Where are we going?"

Emma: "C'mon. You can raid my closet then we can find a party or something to go to."

You: "I actually have a friend that throws a party just about every Friday night. I could probably give him a call?"

Emma squealed and dragged you into her room to get ready while you sent Bryce a text. Emma was putting the finishing touches on your makeup as she explained:
"I don't get out by myself hardly at all. Olivia and Eva kinda just control things around here and I just go along with it."

You: "Why do you let them do that? You seem so nice and they are so..."

Emma: "Bitchy?"

You both burst into laughter as she continued with an explanation:
"We all three went to high school together. They started coming around mostly to get close to my brother and once he got a serious girlfriend and was off the market they just kinda kept me around. I don't get it either but it was nice to not be their enemy so Ive just kinda fone along with it."

The storytime was interrupted by your phone:
"Girl, what do you mean am I having a party? You know I always got the hookup. I'll text you the addy... gotta go but seriously come through."

15 minutes later, you emerged from the vanity and turned to see the dress she'd laid out for you:
"Ohhh no no no. I cannot wear that. It'll never fit me right."

Emma: "Oh shut up. You will look bad-ass with this and my pair of combat boots. Just put it on."

You slid into the short, tight, vibrant dress and turned back and forth to admire yourself in the mirror. You still weren't sure you even wanted to go to a party tonight but you were excited at the chance to make a new friend. You didn't want to do anything lame and ruin your chances.

Emma: "Wowza. Red is your color. I changed my mind. Wipe off the nude lipstick and let's use this bright red shade. It'll look gorgeous with that dress and your skin tone."

Instead of a poll, I'd like to hear you all sound off in the comments about what you're thinking of this story so far :)
