I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror and was taken off guard. My mascara was dripped and smudged under my eyes and my hair was frizzy and lifeless. I needed a shower so that is exactly what I did. After my shower I searched through my drawers looking for my black and red bikini that was strapless and tied in the front with a little bow. It was my favorite but I didn't want anyone especially Louis to think I was trying too hard. I grabbed my white shirt shorts and a see-through peach button up top. My hair had finally dried and had returned to it's full, natural, bouncy, soft curls. Like always I pulled down the two pieces in the front to make them longer. I looked in the mirror as I slipped on my sandals. Tonight I was coming to impress Ames because Louis obviously didn't care. I grabbed my keys to my red 67 fastback mustang and walked out the door. I slipped in my car an turned up the radio. "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons was on and I happily sang along until I got to Vinny's parents' house. Vinny's parents were on vacation in Honolulu so he had the house all to himself for 2 weeks. I ended up getting to park about a half a block away because I was about 10 minutes late. When I finally reached Vinny's house I ran to his back yard and said hello. I was suddenly hugged/ tackled from behing by my best guy friend Trevor. "Hey Dawn I thought you weren't coming or something" "Well I'm here so yay" I said and just laughed and so did Trevor. Vinny came over to say hi and complimented me on my outfit "You look hot now go talk to Lou he is over by the pool." I looked over to see Louis shirtless with denim jeans on over his swim trunks. His toned chest and 6 pack stuck out. He was so handsome. I shifted my head a little though to see Destiny's sitting down next to him with her midnight black hair flowing down her back and her silky carmel colored legs crossed. She was skinny but short and I knew Louis thought she was too beautiful. I looked nothing like that. I watched her as she stood up and went over to Louis as he leaned up against the rock wall. I think she asked him to flex his arms because he did it and she was feeling his large biceps. I wanted that to be me and then realizied that it just couldn't be. "I don't think I should Vin. It looks like him and Destiny want to be left alone." I walked away to go put my shirt down somewhere and get away from the sight of one of my best friends stealing my crush. I unbuttoned my top and set it down on the table beside the pool. I just walked around a bit before deciding to lean up against the other rock wall and watch Louis talk to Destiny. Without even noticing him, Ames came over and put his warm hand on my shoulder. His hands were big but not as big as Louis'. He suddenly moved his hand to my lower back and looked down at me. "Hey Ames" I said softly. "Hey Dawn, y- you you ah you look really beautiful tonight. I'm not saying you don't all of time but tonight you just look...wow." I just giggled and thanked him. It was cute how he got so nervous around me. He looked right into my eyes, "do you wanna dance with me and then we could swim a little bit?" It was getting dark and Vinny lit the tiki torches that surrounded the yard. It looked beautiful and I willingly accepted his offer. I was here to impress him, right? I took his hand and walked over to where the other people were dancing. Here's to Never Growing Up switched over to Lighters and I looked up to Ames. I wrapped my arms around his strong neck and stood on my toes a little bit considering he was 6'2" and I was only 5'10". He softly put his hands on my hips and then after about 5 minutes wrapped his muscular arms around my waist tightly. I was enjoying the moment so much that I had completely forgot about Lou and Destiny. I glanced over to the pool just to see what they were doing. My heart plumited to the pit of my stomach from what I saw. Louis had his arms wrapped around Destiny's waist as she was grabbing onto his arms tightly while they made out under the diving board.
