  Chapter 2

   When I'm finally done with my make up, Marie pulled me by the arm all the way to the closet, making me almoust fall as I sliped with one of the many tissues I used to clean the mess out of my eyes and threw to the trash can from across the room and failed, but was too lazy and in a hurry to pick up. I gave her a "Bitch, Imma kill you!" look, but she just blows me a kiss, and  can't do shit but giggle. Our friendship is so lesbionic. She takes out a short peach dress and helps me put it on. It's a really beautifull dress. Tight 'till my waist and from there it kind of flew down. Simple, but beautifull.

  "It suits you perfect, babygirl" said Marie, and I smile to her.

  "Thank you" I say all bitchy-like and start possing like a model.

  "Oh, hell no! You know I hate that bitchy model agency thing!"

  "I know" I said laughing "me too". I decide to combine the dress with a pair of black high heels. I adore to combine everything with black and give it a femenine rocker look. That modeling thing wasn't going to change my love for rock music and style. "But it comes in handy when you want a desinger's dress, so shut up."

 She rolls her eyes. What a bad habit. "You're done?" 

  "Almoust" I said as I put on some earrings, "ok,  I'm set. How do I look?"

  "Like you're desperetly trying to make someone like you." She says walking to the door, bored.

  I gave her a middle finger and she laughes. "You look awesome, Kate. Just chill out a little... Now, how do I look?" she says imitating my earlier sexy pose, too exaggerated just to make herself look awkward and stupid on purpose.

  "Really sexy, if Alexander doesn't try to rape you tonight, I'll doubt his sexuallity for sure."

  She laughs "Your cousin is not gay, I'm very sure of that" she says and winks at me.

  "Ewww..." I say and this time she laughs really hard.

 They weren't dating, but it has always been obvious that they have more than a friendship. They like to flirt a lot and they don't care been obvious about it.

  "Anyways, lets role! Or they're gonna arrive and it'll be too obvious if we go down stairs only when they do arrive" I said.

  "Well, Katelyn, this IS for them, so it's obvious that we're here for them and it's only logical that we do go down stairs and say 'Hi' to everyone when they arrive..." she replied, but her words were slowly fading when I take out my One Direction CD, threatening to put it on, "but yeah lets gooo!! Plus I wanna hear everyone say how great I look, just to make sure is not only in my head". I smile to myself victorious.

Kate 1 | Marie 0

~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~

  Just after we got  to say 'Hi' to everyone in the family and thanking them when they complimented us, we heard a car.

    They had arrived. He arrived.

  We looked at the car through the house window as they parked. Next thing I see is a buffed guy get out of the passenger's sit with a big smile on his face as he hugged the, now outside, family. He was really handsome and would have looked better if he didn't shaved his blonde hair so short. But still he looked like a militar, and that indeed, was pretty sexy. I could feel Marie by my side nodding in approval. She too finded him very attractive. I rolled my eyes, but I could totally understand her; the dude is my cousin, but damn the fucker looked nice, totally not my type though. When I look back at the window, I see another guy get out of the car, this time by the pilot's side. This one equally buffed, taller and with longer black hair. His smile more serious, but grew bigger while greeting the family. He must be wearing contacts 'cause he wasn't wearing his usual glasses.

  And there he was, the guy I've changed for. The one I tooked my time to wake up early and amaze. The one I was convinsing myself I didn't have feelings for, but was so wrong as my heart said otherwise when it skipped a beat with every foot step he took closer to the house.

  He looked better than ever and I started to feel like shit. Maybe it was better to go upstairs to my room and lock myself in. It seems like Marie was paying attention to my body language or she just knew me too damn well, 'cause at that moment she took my hand so I couldn't escape.

  "Stay strong" she whispered to me.

  That's why I needed her here today at the family reunion. She was obviously like part of my family, but in this ocassion she was the one holding me here through one of the most importants moments of my life.

Damn, that didn't sound clihé at all.

  The door of the house was wide open and rhey passed through. Alexander went quickly to Marie with a sexy smile and gave her a half-moon kiss, then went to me and hugged me. "Looking good 'couz."

  "Thanks, Alex", I trully smiled, I hadn't noticed how much I missed him. My smile was rapidly gone for a second when I suddently saw a black haired head behind Alexander getting closer, he was walking over to us, but I wasn't gonna let him intimidate me so I smile again and look him to his eyes when got to oir little meeting.

  "Hi, Richard", I said.

  "Katelyn??" He looked surprised, "Woah, I was just wondering who that sexy redhead was", he said joking, but with a bit of honestly tone in his voice. "And it was my little cousin after all" he continued,  laughing.

  Oh yeah, did I mention he's also my cousin?
