Chapter 16:
My cheeks start to heat up and I clench my jaw. It wasn't even slightly funny to me. All I knew as that I would have to figure something out. I knew it wasn't a big deal for him to see me naked, because he has before, but I was soaked and dripping with water.
"Liam, please." I begged.
"Whaaattttt?" He yelled, still laughing at me.
"Lia-"
"Whaaattttttt?" He cut me off.
Just then I hear the front door open and Cyndi's voice, my heart drops.
"There wasn't any good movies out so we didn't go to one." I hear her say faintly. "Where's Elizabeth?"
"She's in the bathroom," he replied "but why were you two gone so long if you didn't see the movie?"
There's an awkward silence and then Harry says something quietly and Liam starts laughing uncontrollably.
Then someone fiddles with the doorknob on the bathroom door and it's starts to open but I quickly push it closed and lock it, "Elizabeth hurry up," he pauses, "I'm gonna piss myself."
I shiver and stutter, "Well uhh... I can't.. Um."
Harry sounds confused. "Um why?"
"Liam took all the towels and my clothes out of here when I was in the shower."
"Why would he do that?" I can hear him laughing under his breath but he's obviously trying to hide it.
"Ask him.."
"No I don't really care.." He says chuckling quietly.
"Harry please just throw in a towel really quickly, but don't look at me."
"Oh," he pauses, "mmkay."
I unlock the door and peek out, with my body off to the side so no one could see me.
Harry comes back holding a towel and giggling obnoxiously.
"What?" I snap.
"I can see your reflection.." He smiles cheekily.
I turn around, the mirror is directly behind me, I feel like an idiot.
He throws me the towel.
"Haaaarry!" Cyndi calls from the living room. "HARRYYYY!"
"Cyyyndi!" Harry yells back, mocking her playfully.
I don't hear anything but small talk between Liam, Harry, and Cyndi.I dry off, get dressed and put on light makeup.
When I step out of the bathroom, Cyndi immediately comes over to me.
"Elizabeth, my friend Allie just texted me, you know her from the last nights party," she pauses as she scrolls through her phone. "She says that her boyfriend is throwing a party this weekend, you should come."
"Um.." I stutter and look at Liam for approval but his eyes are telling me no.
"Uhh I want to but I don't know if Liam is ok with it." Liam just nods a little but I want a real answer.
"It's going to be really fun," she reassures me.
Harry smacks her ass and bites his lip, "It's gonna be really fun." He winks at her and flashes a toothy grin.
I laugh but I'm a little weirded out, to be honest.
Cyndi's phone buzzes and she looks down at it again.
"The party is at midnight." She says, messing with my hair.
I look at the clock, it was only 3:30 pm.
"Ok." I smile without feeling.
I was a little anxious and uncomfortable. Last night when I went to a party was when I lost my mom. The amount of stress I'm experiencing gives me a stomach ache and I collapse on the couch.
But I guess I needed to have a little fun, and get my mind off things.
