Lost In His Eyes - Jakob Delgado

Chapter 29 - Getting Ready

CARA'S POV:
After shopping with Mikaila, all we really did was eat dinner and then go up to bed as we were out for quite a while. Sleep over took me instantly and I was fast asleep before I knew it.
-
Waking up this morning I had a strange feeling in my stomach, almost like I was nervous.
If I'm going to be honest, I don't know if I still want to go to this party tonight and I think that's the reason I am feeling this way. For all I knew something could happen to mum whilst I was out or Grace could make a move on Jakob in front of me.
I knew I couldn't back out now seeing the party was in less than 3 hours.
As I made my way into the guest room I pulled out my black ripped jeans and an off the shoulder cream top from kookai. The party was casual so I decided not to go all out although to dress it up, yesterday I bought some brand new black boots as my old ones were a little worm out.
I laid out my outfit, ready for the night, before Mikaila knocked on the half open door.

"hey, I was just wondering if you wanted me to do your makeup for tonight?", she said.

"I would love that, are you sure you don't mind?", I replied with a smile.

"Of course I don't mind! I wan't to. Besides I don't have band practice till late"

Mikaila has been like my sister through all of this and without her I don't know if I would even be able to leave my bedroom let alone go out to a party. She has been so generous and kind towards me which I am very grateful for.

"Thanks Mikaila."

"Anytime."

"No, really thank you for everything not just this, everything you've done for me has really helped me push through so thank you."

"Aw Cara, It's my pleasure. I know how hard this all is for us so I want to help everyone as much as I can and to hear I have makes me so happy.", Mikaila said as she began to tear up.

I then leaned in and hugged her as a few of her tears hit my pyjama top.

"On a higher note, lets go get you done up.", she squealed as she wiped her tears and pulled away.

As she said this I reached down and pulled out my large makeup bag and followed her to the bathroom up the hall.

Mikaila then laid my makeup out on the bench next to hers and begun to start. First of all though she took out the straightener and straightened my hair until there wasn't a bit out of place.
She then begun applying makeup to my face as I sat tight.
I couldn't quite see myself as Mikaila was blocking the mirror and half the time I was to have my eyes closed but it didn't bother me as I guess it would be more of a surprise in the end.
As Mikaila applied the last bit of powder on my face and moved away. I couldn't believe my eyes as I looked up into the mirror.
"Mikaila, Thank you so much!!", I squealed as I jumped up to hug her, making sure I didn't get makeup on her shirt. "I love it."
She had applied a smokey eye shadow with winged eye liner then a light foundation, powder and highlighter over the top.
As much as it sounds like I had 'cake face' overall it ended up looking so simple yet detailed and wasn't too much at all.

I couldn't help but smile as I walled back into the guest room to get dressed.
Once I was dressed Mikaila came running in to see what I looked like.
"Oh my god.", she gasped as she walked through the door. "You look amazing."

"Thank you but not really", I said as I began to fiddle with my fingers.

"You do and don't try and tell me any different."

"But Mikaila..."

"Cara c'mon if you really don't believe me, come here.", she said as she pulled me by my wrists, out the bedroom door, into the hallway.

"Where are we going?", I questioned but she just ignored me and stopped at a familiar door, not stopping to knock.

"Jakob", She yelled as she entered his room.

"Here", he said as we entered a little further to find Jakob tying up his shoe laces.

"Do you think Cara looks hot?", she said, his eyes now darting up towards me.

His eyes widened and his mouth dropped open a little.

"That's what I thought", Mikaila said pulling me back out.

"Cara", Jakob called as we exited his room.

"Yes Jakob", I said pulling Mikaila back.

"You look beautiful." he said causing my cheeks to heat up and a smile to grow upon my face.

"Uh thank you Jakob", I replied trying to play it cool.

"C'mon Cara, let's finish getting you ready", Mikaila yelled before I was pulled away from Jakob's door.

JAKOB'S POV:

"No worries", I huffed as Cara was pulled away from my door.

She looked so hot and there was no doubt all the other guys would think so too, especially Ethan. How could he go from one of my best mates to competition. I thought we had each others back, clearly I thought wrong. Although tonight no one will be competition, I'm winning her back. I know I hurt her badly but I want her and I know deep down she wants me too, well at least I'm hoping so.

As I began to think of a dad called from downstairs that it was time to go.
I quickly then grabbed my black bomber jacket and checked in the mirror to make sure my hair looked alright.

We then all filed into the car, Mikaila sitting in the middle of Cara and myself.
The car ride was then full of Mikaila and dad bickering from the moment we got into the car to when we arrived and the party.

Pulling up at the party, loud music filled my ears as I opened the car door to get out, making sure to tell dad when to pick us up.

As I made my way up the house I stopped to wait for Cara and pulled her aside before walking in.
"I know I hurt you but please don't do anything you'll regret", I whispered in her ear.

"I could say the same to you", she said as she turned around to walk into the party.
