"What'r U doin'?"
It's a text from Louis. He's my older brother and I'm visiting him in London. He is just back from tour, so I haven't seen him for what felt like ages.
'Shopping with El', I reply and he immediately writes back. "Fun you 2:)"- "Thx:)"
I slip my phone back in my pocket and turn to Eleanor, who looks through the shoe shelves. "Lou?", she asks. "Yup", I answer, popping the 'p'. "He's so protective, sometimes", I sigh. "It's not, that I don't like it, in some ways it's pretty cute. But I'm turning 18 next month..." "He's your brother. He has to be protective over you", El simply answers. "And believe me. It can be worse", she giggles. We wander through the shop and soon go into the cabins. "You ready?", El asks and her head pops up. I nod and turn towards her. "Take it! It suits you perfectly!", she commands after eyeing the dress up and down. It's a little white one. I smile at her. "Same thinking here", I reply and we try on all the other outfits. "(Y/N), Lou texted me and said he wants to go clubbing with us and the boys. Perrie will be there, too." "Time for my new dress, I guess", I smile.
We sit in my room at Lou's house. El is rummaging through my make up, putting everything out she might need. "You almost ready?", I ask her, rubbing my wet hair with a towel. "Yep, sit down, I'll do the rest", she says and takes the make up stuff, placing it in front of me. "You'll look beautiful!", she states and starts applying foundation on my face.
Half an hour later I'm finally allowed to take a look into the mirror. "You're a magican Eleanor! You should become a stylist!", I cry out in full awe. "I'm not half as good as Lou", El giggles. "Well, Lou is a stylist. But you're pretty much good enough to take a place next to her!". "Alright. Now your hair. I think we should just let it fall in more or less natural curls." She puts out the hair dryer and starts. It takes her another 20 minutes and I'm completely done with the result. "Now you can do whatever you want and I'm going to get myself ready. "Sure", I say and she disappears in the shower.
I walk over to my shopping bag and take the dress out we've just bought. I put it on and take a look into the mirror. I just love the dress. I go to my wardrobe and stand in front of my shoes. I have no idea which I could wear. I pull out a pair of coral heels and some golden ones and put them on my bed. I think I'll leave the choice to Eleanor.
An hour later in which I've just been sitting in front of the TV watching random stuff, El comes out of the bathroom completely ready with make up and her hair and already changed. "Are you ready?", she asks coming over to me. "Yup, almost. Just my shoe-choice is left over. I can't really decide." I walk in front of her into my room and show her the two pairs. "I'd go for the coral ones, they look sexier", she decides an winks. I roll my eyes and put the golden heels back into the wardrobe. "Alright then", I say while grabbing my clutch and slipping my shoes on. "'Let's party rock!" Just as I say that the door bell rings and swings open. "Why do you ring when you've got a key anyways?", I ask Lou and slap his head. "Because it's my house and I can do what I want!", he states and gives El a kiss. They're just so cute together. I smile and roll my eyes. "Are you coming then?", I ask them. I walk out of the house followed by Eleanor and a key-fumbling Louis. "Hurry up, clumsy", I yell and walk over to the car with El. Harry and Niall are waiting inside and greet us. "Hi leprechaun, hey not-so-curly-anymore-but-still-curly", I greet them back and hug them. Eleanor sits in the front and Louis finally comes and sits on the drivers seat. "The Tommo finally closed the door shut", I say and start giggling.
The whole ride to the club we're chatting about the boy's tour and stuff. Sounds like they had a really awesome time on the road. "Almost there", Louis shouts. We drive around a corner and Lou pulls the car into a parking lot. "Now quick! We wouldn't want the others to wait for so long, now would we?" "Well that's only because you took so long with the key", I snap and giggle again. We rush out of the car and walk over to the club. In front of it has build an enormous queue but we just walk to the bodyguard and he lets us in. "Over to the VIP lounge", shouts Niall his arms raised forward his index finger pointing out. We follow him and find the table where Zayn, Perri and Liam are already seated. I smile when I see them. "Hey (Y/N). How ya doin'? Haven't seen you in so long", Zayn greets me with his cute accent. "Hey! I'm good, thanks", I reply and hug him. "Hey Perri. Hope these boys are not getting on your nerves too much yet", I say and hug her, too. "Oh well, sometimes more, some less. You get used to it. Well, as if I had a choice", she says and giggles. "You love me and we're engaged, I can be childish whenever I want", Zayn pouts. "Sure you can sweety", Perri says and kisses him on the cheek. I turn to Liam and my breath is taken away. I always had a soft spot on him, but he has always had a girlfriend, besides he's one of Louis' best mates. "Hi Liam." "Hey (Y/N), I'm so glad to see you again. It really has been a while", he greets me and pulls me into a hug. I can't stop thinking how nice his body feels against mine, how warm he is. 'No, stop it', I say to myself and take a seat. "I'm gonna get beer. Who wants?", Harry asks and everyones hand raises up. "Like I thought", he mumbles and walks off. "Wait, I'll help you", Niall's says and follows him. "This is gonna take a while. Let's go dancing", Zayn says and helps Perri up, Louis and Eleanor hot on their heels. Now it's just me and Liam left. I nervously pull a strend of my hair back behind my ear. "How's it going? Last year of school right?", Liam asks me. "Yeah, I graduate in a few months. And you? How's life?", I reply shyly. "Tour was awesome. Met so many new people and the shows were always great", he answers. "And Sophia? How are you two?" A shadow creeps upon his face but not for long. "Well we broke up. About two weeks ago." "Oh, really. I'm sorry..." I fumble with my hands. "No, don't be. She just wasn't the right. I mean she nice but, ... She'll find someone else", he says looking into the crowd. His gaze turns back to me, a smile coming back. "You look really beautiful, you know?" I blush, a bit taken aback by that comment. "Well you look pretty handsome yourself", I reply shyly.
