City Lights

Chapter 7

It was 3 o'clock when we reached the apartment.

Anna had gotten a Phoenix tattoo.
It wasn't that very big but just the right size to cover the side of her stomach.

I , on the other hand had gotten the planned sun tattoo right beside my navel.
It would only be visible whenever I'd wear a crop top or bikini , of which the latter had less possibility since their were no beaches nearby.

It was a Friday night which meant movie night for me and parties for Anna .
She'd tried to drag me along many times but parties just weren't my thing.
"So........" Anna started.
i narrowed my eyes , sure that whatever she was going to say wasn't something I'd like . "No" I said.
"You don't even know what I was going to say" she said glaring at me.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that I'm not gonna like whatever it is that you were going to say."
"Just listen " she said and I rolled my eyes
"So...uh there's this party tonight and-"
"I already said No and I mean it".
"Oh c'mon" she whined. " Just this one time , you never leave the apartment".
"Yes I do , I leave the apartment for food and for the library and for-"
"Nooo , I mean like you just stay in there .
C'mon Renee pleaseeeee" and then she smirked "and you owe me this much for buying you that date outfit"

I'd forgotten about that date.
Dammit.

"I never asked you to help me " I shrugged.
We both knew I'd be fucked if it weren't for Anna dragging me around shopping.
I'd probably be walking in my pajamas right now.

"C'mon , I promise I'll never ask you to come again. Just this one time. Get out of the apartment and have a little fun " she was getting frustrated now and I was in no mood for an argument.

"Alright" I sighed " Just this one time"

I had a mini heart attack when Anna grabbed my arms and hugged me and then started jumping up and down.

I grunted , not at all liking this.

"And oh Renee? I'll be dressing you" she said and then went back to her room.

Oh god.
What had I gotten myself into ?
I stared at her closed door in horror.

It was 7 o'clock and Niall was supposed to pick us up in an hour.

My eyes were closed as I was 'forbidden' to see myself . Anna was currently putting eye shadow on my eyes.
she'd had tried to get me to wear foundation on my skin but I'd straight up refused. we'd finally agreed on some natural looking makeup and red lipstick.
Well I didn't really got much of a choice in that , Anna just smacked my head whenever I tried to refuse.

"Is there gonna be food?" I asked.
"Stop moving your lips , you're smearing your lipstick" Anna said in a stern voice.

"Is there?" I asked after another 2 minutes.

She smacked my head and started pulling on my hair.

"Woahhh what are you doing??"
"Just shut up and let me do my work" she huffed and went back to pulling my hair.

I groaned .

I was starting to regret this already .

After another 20 minutes of continuously asking Anna if I could open my eyes , she finally agreed.
I sighed and opened my eyes and blinked.

Then I blinked again.

The person staring back at me didn't look like me at all .
My wavy hair had been tamed back into straight tresses . My usually dull green eyes stood out like fireworks .
Anna had totally transformed the way I looked from my usual look to a very loud look. My entire face screamed for attention. The red lipstick topped it all , giving me a very bold appearance.

I shook my head immediately.
"No, no , I can't look like this ." I said , my voice very low .
"Renee , you can't back out now and we have no time to change your look . I have to get ready myself . Just go and quickly change into this" she said whilst handling me a small black dress.

I stared at her.
Is she serious?
I can't wear this , its way too short.

I shook my head again.
"Yes , you're going to have to wear this now hurry your ass up . Niall might be reaching here soon and I haven't even started yet" she said and quickly went back to her own room leaving me with no other option than to wear the dress.
