The Bucket List ; LRH

20. Use Our Fake IDs

Bubble baths are so relaxing. They just suck the stress right out of me and make me forget about everything bad in my life. I was currently sitting in my jacuzzi bathtub, soaking in bubbles that covered my whole body, aside from the top of my chest, neck, and face. My arm was hanging over the side of the tub, so I could smoke a cigarette and not get it wet. At this point, neither of my parents were ever home, so I could basically do whatever I wanted without getting into any trouble. "Erin! Erin, where are you?" I heard Michael's voice and mentally cursed at myself for not locking neither my bedroom or bathroom door. The door to my bathroom swung open and four very familiar faces were staring at me.

"Oh shit, sorry to interrupt," Ashton laughed, but didn't seem to actually care since he sat on the closed toilet seat. I was glad that I decided to put bubbles in the bathtub because if I hadn't, all of the guys would be seeing me naked right now and I would have died of embarrassment.

"Why are you guys here?" I asked, trying to be polite, as I ashed my cigarette in the ashtray that was sitting on the ledge of my bathtub. I looked at all of them expectantly, locking eyes with Luke last. Our gazes stayed fixed on each other for a good twenty seconds before Calum cleared this throat to get our attention.

"You have a fake ID right?" Luke asked.

"Yes. Why?"

"Well," Calum started with a huge smile on his face. I was scared about where this was going, but I was preparing myself for it. "We ordered some during the school year and got them delivered to this address, aaaand,"

They all held their fake IDs up and couldn't contain their huge smiles that were covering their faces. I laughed and shook my head at them. "What are you getting at?"

"We want to go out tonight and use them! They're Australian, so it's not like the bouncers would know if they were fake or not. I doubt many Australians come to Myrtle Beach for vacation!" Michael cheered.

"So, are you down to come with us?" Luke asked with a hopeful smile on his face. I was still kind of pissed at him because of what happened, but I would have to get over that sooner or later.

I pondered their idea for a moment as I inhaled the end of my cigarette. I exhaled the smoke and extinguished the lit end in the ash tray. "I guess so,"

"Hell yeah!" Calum cheered.

"We'll have so much fun, dude," Michael smiled like a small child. It's sometimes hard to say no to these four boys because they're so cute and have the most innocent faces that I actually feel bad when I say no to them. "We're taking an Uber and we're leaving at nine so come over when you're ready!"

I nodded my head at Michael's orders and they all smiled and say their goodbyes before leaving me to finish my bath. Once the water started to get cold, I took the plug out and stood up from the water, wrapping a towel around myself. I left the water to drain as I tried to find an outfit to wear for the night. Since my fake ID says I am twenty-two years old, I have to make myself look older. I'm only eighteen, but hopefully I can pull off looking older. Caroline and I never got the opportunity to use them, so I was slightly nervous to tonight.

Instead of choosing an outfit, I decided to do my makeup and hair first. I put on conceal and powder on my face, I did a smokey eyeshadow and winged eyeliner on my eyelids, and finished with curling my eyelashes and applying mascara. After letting my hair air dry, I straightened it for the first time in almost a year. I gave myself an approving nod before leaving my bathroom. I dropped my wet towel on the floor of my bedroom and stood in front of my closet with nothing but a thong and a bra on. I bit my lip as I stared at all of the clothes in my closet. I had way too many to choose from. After fifteen minutes to looking, I settled on a plain black dress. It's skin tight and stops a few inches under my butt and it's held up by spaghetti straps.
