If You Like Me - A Louis Tomlinson Love Story (ON HOLD AS OF 5/20/14)

Chapter 2

8:30 in the morning came way too early for my liking. I turned my alarm off quickly as to not wake up Areiya who was still sleeping in the bed next to me. I got up and walked into the bathroom that was more or less in my room. I pulled the hairtie out of my hair and ran my hands through it a few times. I pulled my clothes off and turned the shower on, waiting a few seconds for it to heat up. I stepped in and turned on the shower radio, which honestly, I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t have one, they only cost like twenty bucks and they make showers much more enjoyable. Anyway I turned the radio on and simultaneously reached for the shampoo bottle. I got some shampoo in my hands and worked it into my hair. This shampoo smelled nasty, but it got all the dirt and oil out of my hair really well, and it helped to restore the keratin and strengthen it. My hair, when wet, ends at about my lower back, and I’d say, all together my hair is probably twenty four inches long, if not longer, so having the extra strength was something I needed, so I put up with the awful smell. After I had that all rinsed out of my hair I grabbed the second shampoo that I use, which is Aussie: Moisture. It smells like coconut, so it’s a much better experience for my nose. After rinsing that out I put some conditioner in, again, it’s Aussie: Moisture. I rubbed that into my hair all over then grabbed Aussie: 3-Minute Miracle and put that on the lower third of my hair because it helps with split ends. I then twisted my hair and put in in a clip on the back of my head and started on washing the rest of my body and shaving my legs and under my arms.

I wiped my face off as I stepped out of the shower and wiped my legs off before wrapping a towel around myself and under my arms. I poked my head out of the bathroom door to make sure Areiya was still sleeping and, after confirming my thoughts, I padded over to my closet. I had a walk-in closet so I shut the door when I got in and took the towel from around my body and wrapped it around my hair, throwing it up onto my head. I pulled on some underwear and a bra and grabbed some shorts and a big, baggy shirt and pulled them on, before going back to the bathroom to do my hair.

After my hair had been sufficiently blow dried I debated for about five minutes on whether or not I should straighten it before I finally gave in and fried the crap out of my hair with my flat iron.  I pulled my hair back with a headband and put the moisturizer for my face on and then curled my eyelashes and put on mascara. I took my loose powder that was, quite honestly, almost albino in color, and added some of my cappuccino colored bronzer, mixing it together with a small brush. I applied it all over my face, to even out my skin tone a bit and then put another layer of mascara on my top and bottom lashes. I grabbed my orange BabyLips from my collection of lip stuff on my counter and then went back to my room.

I ended up in some faded black and grey tie-dye jean shorts and a see-through white racerback shirt that extended almost as far as my shorts did. I was wearing a white racerback bra and decided to throw a bright blue bandeau on over my bra, so that there was a splash of color in my outfit.

At 10:30 I went into the kitchen downstairs and started making a batch of eggs for Austin, Autumn, Areiya and myself. When the eggs were almost done I went and woke everyone up, enticing them with promises of food.

At about 11:00 I told Areiya that I had to go pick up the kids I was watching for the day, and that she could come if she wanted to, but had to be ready to leave in fifteen minutes. She agreed and went to raid my closet for something to wear. I followed her to my room and grabbed my phone from it’s charger along with my laptop. My laptop went into it’s case and then into my backpack, along with the charger, and my phone went into my pocket. I grabbed my wallet and shoved it in my back pocket and then slipped on a pair of flip flops.

“I’m heading up, if you aren’t out there in two minutes I’m leaving without you Ari!” I screamed at her before heading upstairs with my backpack which contained my work clothes and I grabbed my keys off the hook on the way up and went to tell me parents that I was leaving.
