Trust No Man

Everything Works In Your Arms

ELIZABETH'S P.O.V.

I wake up the next morning. I run to my brothers room. It's a habit I've formed since I was little. I always feel safer knowing he's around. Nick never seemed to mind. I shake him awake. "Good Morning!" I yell. "Good morning." He replies tiredly. "Let's go shopping! I need something to wear tonight."I say. He looks at me teasingly. Why would I mention tonight? I'm not exactly looking forward to it, just a little edgy is all. I have never been on a date. This is territory I have never been upon.

Me and Nick shower and dress. I wear a deep blue strapless sweetheart neckline dress. It has a wide flowing skirt with a thin gold belt across the high waist. It had three gold buttons on the top. From my mid neck to the neckline and down my back was navy blue mesh. There was also a sparkly gold bow on the top. I wear gold sparkle converse. Nick wears black jeans and a white v-neck. We left on that note and went shopping. We're out the hotel by 11:00. Only ten hours till my research. But whose counting? We picked up breakfast on the way.

~5 Hours Later~

We return to the suite with a boat load of bags. From every store you can name. I insisted on checking out all of the stores, even the little holes in the wall. I mean we had a massive amount of money. Why not buy from everywhere instead of spending it in one place? We had to have four bellhops help us bring up the bags. I loved shopping. I jump onto my bed surrounded by bags. I look over at my clock. It's only 3:30. Five and a half hours till my date. I mean research. Nick takes me out for lunch in one of the hotel restaurant. Me and Nick eat and talk for a while. Life is so care free at this point. When we're full we go upstairs. "What are you doing this evening?"I say once we're inside. "I haven't thought of that." Nick answers. "You have plenty of time to think while I get ready."I say as I walk to my room. I release my hair from my ponytail and let it touch my shoulders in a tangled mess. "What do you mean while you get ready? What am I supposed to do?" He questions. I really couldn't answer that. Nick doesn't do much else. I mean he has always been a self kept kind of person. "How about you work on your books?" I say. It was the only thing I could think of that he actually likes. "Great idea. So I'll be in my room if you need me. Say bye before you leave." He says as he goes to his bedroom. Finally, now it's 4:15. I jump in the shower and wash my hair. I take a long hot shower. I get out and rush to put my hair in rollers. Then I go put on my makeup. It shouldn't take long since I don't wear much. I put eyeliner and mascara. I use an eye lash curler to remove any clumps. I then apply a little bit of blush. Finishing touch with bold red lipstick. Wen I'm done I have like 4 hours still. I go threw the dresses I bought today and try to choose what to wear. I decide on a sparkly teal one. It's cotton silk and had baby blue streak in it. It's a one shoulder and it goes all the way to the floor. It has a diamond waist band that goes a little under my boobs. The fabric clings to all my little curves. It also has slits on both sides of my legs. It looks kind of like a toga. Like what goddesses wear. I pair it with some baby blue high heels. I add some matching diamond accessories. Now just my hair. Crap! Only an hour. I blow dry my hair for the rest of the hour and take out the rollers. It came out just the way I wanted. Good cuz I didn't have time to fix it. I pin it to the side. Now I rush to Nick's room. He loves it and says to have fun but not to much. I laugh and leave. I'm on my way to a date. I never thought I would.

XAVIER'S P.O.V.

I stand in the bar. I'm too worried to sit down. I had to work earlier so I didn't have a lot of time to get dressed. It didn't matter though because I suspect that she's seeing someone else. I came back to the hotel to earlier and saw her eating in the restaurant with Nick. The guy that I talked to last night. In fact he's the one that told me to ask her out. Why would he be with her? What if she's messing with me? Well I'll ask her when we go out for dinner. I didn't want to jump to conclusions and ruin the date, in case she actually could explain it. Hopefully she could. I really wanted this date to go well. It would be nice to have a girlfriend.
