Chapter 5
Aurora
By the time Tis knocked on my door at half eight, Carla had managed to make me smile while we consumed the entire plate of gooey biscuits,
"Sorry I'm late Bae, I needed the right outfit for tonight," Tis brushed her brunette hair over one shoulder,
"What is tonight?" Carla questioned looking between Tis and myself,
"A beautiful man who goes to school with us asked if we would go to a club tonight with him," Tis answered casually, chipping the blue nail varnish which covered her finger nails
"Ooo sounds fun," Carla acted like a mom and sister all in one,
"Except I'm not going," I spoke quietly,
"Excuse me?" Tis looked like I just slapped her across the face, either that or I pissed in her drink, "What do you mean you are not coming, are you crazy?"
I looked down at my toes, shrugging my shoulders and heaving in a breathe,
"Dad may have mentioned that I am not allowed to go,"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me,"
"I know I heard you, but I am choosing to ignore the fact that your 'father'..." She made physical quotations around the world father, "Who, may I add has been missing from your life since the passing of your mother, has finally starting to act like a father when his daughter is already the age of a legal adult?" She was right, but just because he's been missing doesn't mean he is not my legal guardian. I shrugged again,
"Aurora, you were never able to break the rules growing up, so now's your chance. Hey you can enjoy tonight without having to worry about punishment because you're an adult!"
"I agree with her Rory," My head snapped towards Carla, I would never imagine Carla disobeying my father's orders, yet here she was encouraging me to, "Your only young once dears... oh what is that saying again YOMO? Or is it YOTO..."
"YOLO Carla," Tis helped, "Please Bae!" Tis practically fell to her knees at my feet, hands clasped together and her famous puppy pout in place on her lips,
"You sure?" I questioned Carla, in return she gave me a double thumb up "I haven't even thought about what to wear,"
"Leave that all to me," The look on Tis's face can only be described as pure evil.
At half past nine, I was showered and groomed. My blonde hair down with loose curls that reached the bottom of my back, the front pinned back into a quiff. My makeup was mainly natural, apart from my eyes, they were smoky with black and browns and a small amount of glitter. A natural pink lip and deep contoured to enhance my cheek bones, finished the look.
"Smack your lips together then you can get dressed," I followed Tis's instructions as Carla painted my finger and toe nails a nude pink colour, "So your dress is a little risqué, but I will complete the look," I wasn't so confident about this.
Walking over to my closet I picked the dress of the handle and walked into my bathroom. The black dress was a halter neck with no back and reached just above my knees. The bust was tight and the waist the naturally clenched in. The bottom of the dress flowed down with a mesh material underneath. It was definitely not something I would usually wear but Tis was right; it did bring the look together. I walked back into my room, spinning on my toes to make the dress poof up,
