Chapter Sixteen: Girls' Day Out

READ AUTHOR’S NOTE AT THE END!

**********************************************************************************

Recap:

I looked at Olli and saw that she was trying to understand what I told her, a few seconds later she was sitting at my bed giving me a hug.

 "Don't worry. It'll be ok. We will get through this together. Do you know why? We have each other's back that's why. Now let's get you fixed up, you look like a hot mess." She said smiling.

 "Nice speech. Thanks Olli. For everything." I replied.

**********************************************************************************

Olli decided to call the girls. It had been a long time since we had seen them so it would be fun to catch up. Unfortunately Perrie couldn’t come as she was busy with Little Mix things but that was understandable.

“I just texted Dani and El and they said we should meet them in Starbucks in 30 minutes. Dani is going to pick up El first.” Olli told me.

I nodded to Olli and went upstairs to pick out some nice clothing. What I was wearing had ice-cream and tear stains. I don’t think that is something you would wear out! Olli and I went upstairs to pick out some clothes. I was used to letting Olli borrow my clothes.

I walked to my wardrobe and decided to go with a moustache theme. I took out a blue shirt that says “I moustache you a question”, white shorts, blue toms and a denim jacket. Then I got out some jewellery including a blue bracelet and Sesame Street earrings.

I went to go change in my bathroom and put on some nail polish.  15 minutes later I came out of the bathroom blowing air on my nails to get them to dry faster.

“Olli!  Are you done yet?” I asked her.

She replied saying yes and came out wearing a blue top that says “spring break 2013” on it, distress jeans, blue converse, a blue varsity jacket and a blue beanie.

“So I see we are going with the blue theme. Oh and I want those jeans back!” I said to her narrowing my eyes at her.

“Sure you’ll get it back. Someday” Olli murmured.

She thought I didn’t hear the last part but I did. I grabbed her arm and we walked outside to my car. We had about 10 minutes to get to Starbucks, which was enough considering it was only a few minutes’ drive.

We got to Starbucks and saw Dani and El sitting at one booth with coffee in their hands. WE waved to them and then went to get our coffees.

“Hey! How are you?” Dani asked when we sat down.

We caught up with all had been happening in our lives over the past half hour.

“I think I’ve had enough coffee to last me a life time! What should we do now?” Olli asked

“Let’s go shopping then get our nails done!” El suggested.

It seemed like a good idea so we left Starbucks and went to the mall. We went to River Island first.  By the time we came out of the shop of hands were already full. We then went to New Look.

“Oh my gosh! Carri come here! I’ve found the perfect dress for you!” Olli squealed.

I went over to her and saw the dress in her hands. It was a short cream chiffon dress.

“This is lovely! Let me try it on.” I told her.

I went to the changing room to try on the beautiful dress. I looked in the mirror and saw that the dress looked amazing on me. I stepped out of the changing room to show Olli, Dani and El.

“What do you think guys?” I asked.

They turned around and their mouths dropped.

“You look amazing! You should definitely buy this dress!” Dani said while the others agreed with her. 

I went back to the changing room and wore my clothes back. I then proceeded to buy the dress.

“C’mon, let’s get our nails done. I know this totally awesome place but first let’s go put these backs away. I couldn’t bear to carry these bags for so long.” El smiled.

We walked with her back to Starbucks to put the clothes in the boots of our cars. Then we went to the place El was talking about.

It was a small shop, tucked into the corner of a busy line of shops. It had light pink walls and a cream door that said ‘open’. The window had a sign saying ‘Mel’s Manicures and Pedicures!”.

“It looks so cosy and homey!” I exclaimed.

“It is. You’re gonna love it.” El nodded.

We went inside. We asked them for an appointment and luckily for us, even though we hadn’t made an appointment, we got a session.

We were having our feet done when Dani asked me a question.

“So what’s the sitch between you and Harry?” Dani asked wiggling her eyebrows.

“First of all never do that face again,” I shivered cracking a smile, “and second there isn’t anything going on between us. Well, not anymore.” I explained my smile faltering.

 “What do you mean?” El asked confused.

“Didn’t you watch their interview? Anyway Harry pointed out really prominently that he didn’t like me. So I guess I just have to get over him.” I shrugged pretending to not be hurt.

“Aw babe! Well he doesn’t know what he’s missing. “El said reaching over to pat my leg.

“But enough of your relationship status. How you holding up? Olli told us about your mum.” Dani asked sympathetically.

I took in a deep breath.

“I’m doing well but I hope she gets better soon.” I sighed.

“She will. There’s no need to worry.” Smiled El

Soon we had finished getting our nails done so we left the place. Minutes later we reached the cars and said goodbye.

“Thanks guys. This was an awesome way to cheer me up. I just wish that Perrie was here to have some fun too.” I smiled giving all of them a hug.

“Hey we needed some fun! Besides today was awesome and hopefully we’ll have another day like today.” Dani said.

“Let’s go home!” I said to Olli.

“Wait my home or yours?” asked Olli.

I really wanted to go to her house because her mum’s cookies were the best.  They were awesome!

“Your house. I want some of your mum’s cookies.” I replied smiling.

“LEGGO!” Olli shouted earning curios looks from others.

I just laughed and drove to her house.
