More than friends.

Part 65- Dinner.

Zoe’s POV.
I have just jumped out of the shower, still feeling blessed that I have a fiancé that would do that for me. I begin to set up my camera when Alfie comes in, searching for something.

“What’s wrong gorgeous?” I ask him, pecking him on the cheek.

“Everyone’s here apart from my Parents!” He panics.

“It’s okay. I’ll film my video another day. Just wear whatever Alfie. You’ll be fine.” I say. He heads into the bathroom to get showered, and comes out 5 seconds later; frowning.

“What’s wrong?”

“You showered with out me.”

“We have guests.”

“Right. You get changed, i’ll shower.”

I walk over to my wardrobe and pick out the perfect dress; Red and white striped, with blue at the top and white stars. Mid-thigh length, and fitted for my curvy hips. I slip on a black strapless bra, with the dress on top of it. I top that off with my black heels, and i’m done apart from makeup.

My vanity is laid out just as I want it… as always, so I search for the products I need and start applying. (The makeup look she’s doing is the one from her Spring/Summer Hair and Makeup from 2014.) I started off with my Estee Lauder Double Wear BB Moisture Makeup and applied that with my Expert Face Brush. Once that was done, I used my Collection Lasting Perfection Concelar, and blended it in with the Zoeva 227. Then I set it with my Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder with the Zoeva powder brush. To give my self a summer glow, I contoured/bronzed with the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddes Bronzer using the Soever 127 Angled Contour Brush. Then for my pink cheeks I used, Too Faced Perfect Flush Blush. To fill in my brows I used the Soap and Glory Archery Brown Pen. For my eyes, I wanted it sort of mysterious looking… so I went with my Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo “On and On Bronze” with my Mac 227 brush. Then I used the Nars Isolde Eyeshadow Duo with my Mac 239. For eyeliner I went with the Zoeva Pencil Liner “Rock N Roll Ride”. I then used the Charlotte Tilbury Mascara, and my Zoeva Lip Crayon “Tender Rose”.

I would have went with a more “Red, Blue, and White” themed makeup, but I had no time. For my hair, I went with a Halo Braid. It makes this outfit complete, and it’s good use for my long hair. However, I think I might cut it soon. Like just above the boobs. I think it would look more motherly. I spray some perfume, and head into Samantha’s room.

“Hello beautiful girl. Are you ready to get ready?” I ask her in an excited voice. She giggles back at me, as if it were a yes. I pick out striped shorts that are red and white, with a blue top that has stars. Perfect. As she’s 6 months old now, she has quite a bit of hair. (I think she was born in May, but let’s say she was born in January ahaha sorry). I tied her brown hair in pig tails, and put on her black flats. Aww she looks adorable.I picked her up, and headed downstairs.

Once I was at the bottom of the stairs, everyone was sitting on the couch watching Pretty Little Liars.

“Oii! You lot. No spoilers. I’m still on season 3.” I shout, running over to the couch to hug Joe. I haven't seen him in 2 months, and it’s good to have him back. Once we are in a tight hug, Jim pushes us apart and grabs Sam.

“Hey!” I squealed.

“Enjoy your hug, and i’ll enjoy mine!” He says, winking. I pull Joe back in, and we just stand there, talking to each other. After 5 minutes we pull apart, and he begins to speak.

“Zoe. I want you to meet someone special. Zoe, this is Natalie.” He says, bringing her into the triangle we have formed. Her dirty blonde hair is up in a messy bun. She has perfectly winged eyeliner, and a really pretty shade of pink lip stick. She’s tall, and tan. She’s wearing a black tank top, with a light denim flannel. Her high waisted shorts are American flag designed, and she’s got on black vans. Gosh she’s pretty.

“Hi Zoe. It’s nice to finally meet you.” She says interrupting my thoughts.

“Oh sorry. Hi Natalie. It’s nice to meet you too!” I say, pulling her into a hug.

“Joe’s told me so much about you, and so have your videos.”

“I wish I could say the same.”

“Yeah, Joe and I wanted it to be private for a while.”

“I understand. So how old are you Natalie?”

“I’m 21. Just 2 years younger than Joe.”

“Ahh, I see.”

“Yeah. You look stunning!”

“Awh thanks. You too! Where are you from? Your accent is a bit of everything.”

“I’m from Scotland, but I moved to California when I was 11. Then I graduated in London and i’ve been there since then.”

“Wow. Scottish, American, and English! Joe, your a lucky man.” We continue talking for a while, and then I greet everyone else. Once Alfie is downstairs, we start dinner. The table of ten is seated by; Alfie at the top, and Jim at the bottom. In-between is Tanya, Niomi, and Marcus on one side. And on the other: Joe, myself, and Natalie.

“Well,” Alfie says standing up. “I just want to thank everyone for coming. I know none of us are American, apart from maybe Natalie… but it’s always a lot of fun celebrating the 4th of July. And I know the dinner isn’t american. We could of put more effort into being American, but oh well. Let’s toast to our American friends back in the US!!” He says raising his glass.

“To my personal favourites… Connor and Tyler!” I toast. Everyone raises their glasses, and cheers.

After dinner is finished, everyone leaves apart from Joe and Natalie. At the moment I’m stuck cleaning the dishes, Alfie and Joe are watching a movie, Samantha is sleeping, and Natalie is showering. Finally! I’m done. I put everything in the places they should be, and plunk myself on the couch beside Joe and Alfie

Sorry for not updating in a while. Anyway, i'm gonna catch you up on Joe's life the past 6 months.
After the twins were born, Ella and Joe were scheduled to get married 2 months later because Ella was already pregnant as you saw. But one night when Joe came home, he heard Caspar making you know what sounds. So being Joe, he opened the door to see Ella and Caspar doing “it”. So Joe shut the door loudly, and left the house. A few days later, he finally came back… but to pack up. Caspar did all he could to apologise, and convince him to stay, but no. So Joe moved out to LA, and moved in with Connor. (as friends). Caspar and Ella got together, and still are. Joe never talks to Caspar anymore, and if they are in the same room.. they ignore each other. Joe met Natalie at a Youtube convention and got together later that week. But she had to go back to London for University because she was in LA for a holiday. So Joe packed up and moved in with her. Then they got an apartment, and that’s it. :)

So yeah, hope you enjoy. <3
