leigh-anne

How doesn't she understand? Why doesn't she see?

Okay, I understand she's my best friend and she probably sees me as a sister, nothing more.

But I don't. I see her as a queen, a goddess, simply perfection. Perrie Edwards is perfect.

As I reach for the tv remote to change the channel, my phone vibrates. A message from Perrie on the Little Mix group text.

" Do you guys wanna come to Mahiki with me & Katherine tonight?? "

Nobody has replied yet but I always love a night out, especially with Perrie, so I type a quick "sure" and ask her when to meet up.

" 8 tonight? "

I reply to her and see that nor Jesy or Jade can come. Jesy wants to sleep and be lazy at home and Jade has date night with Jed. Great, we can be alone.

Wait, did she say Katherine is coming?

I take another look at the messages and it's right there. "Me & Katherine". Great. Katherine is coming along. I don't really like her much, I don't know why, I was probably just in a bad mood when I met her.

Anyway, it's fine if she comes. It's not like this magical bond will form between Perrie and I if we go clubbing together.

I get up and go to my closet to find some clothes to wear. I decide on a body suit that has a plunging neckline with some black skinny jeans and black pumps.

I look at the time, 5:30pm. I'll leave at 7 so I'm not late. I have one and a half hours to get ready so I go to take a hot shower to relax my muscles. Tour is over and I have nothing to do so I've been working out a lot and if I do say so myself, my body looks better than ever. Hard work really pays off.

When I get out of the shower I put my clothes on and start on my makeup. I'm not so great at applying makeup but I know the basics, along with some more difficult looks. I only put foundation, concealer and full-on eye makeup, a smokey eye. I only put some clear lip balm on my lips and the tiniest bit of highlighter. I leave my eyebrows natural because they're already quite dark.

I'm gonna put on my heels at the last minute so I keep wearing my fuzzy slippers for now.

Now, what to do with my hair. I could straighten it, but that will probably take hours. I could put extensions in, but those are so uncomfortable.

After a lot of thinking, I decide to keep my hair in my natural Afro, only combing some leave-in conditioner with my fingers.

After everything is done, I check the time. 6:49pm. Perfect timing.

I call my driver and stuff some money and my keys into my pockets. Good thing I wore jeans. At least I'm comfortable.

When he arrives, I put my heels on and get going. The ride is short because Mahiki Club is very close to my flat.

Maybe I should've brought a friend, I think as I enter the club, speed walking away from the paparazzi's flashing camera lights. I go straight to the bar and order myself a cocktail. I quickly text Perrie, telling her I'm waiting for her.

I down my drink and move towards the dance floor. The song playing has a nice beat and has already gotten me moving. I dance along to the music, completely forgetting about my surroundings for a while.

A thump brings me out of gaze and I look around myself and realize that some man fell on the floor while I was in my own world.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" I shout to him over the music, helping him up.

"It's okay, things like this happen," he says and looks me up and down. Uh oh, here it comes. "Do I know you?"

"Probably not," I answer quickly.

"I'm sure I do, wait a second..." He clicks his fingers, trying to remember.

Please don't, I silently pray. Please don't remember.

"I know! You're in that girl group, Little Mix." He says with wide eyes. "Leigh-Anne, right?"

"Yeah," I nod. "And you are...?"

"Ethan, my name's Ethan."

"Nice to meet you, Ethan." I try to slowly walk, well dance away but he stops me.

"Don't go! Let me buy you a drink," he suggests with a cocky smile.

My mind goes blank. "Um, sure." It sounds more like a question than a statement.

I can nearly see him doing a happy dance in his head by the way he's smiling as he leads me towards the bar.

"What would you like to have?" He asks as we sit down at the bar.

"A Cosmo," I say, hoping Perrie comes soon. We make small talk as we wait for our drinks.

Just as the drinks come and I'm about to take a sip, Perrie and Katherine arrive. Perrie finds me quickly and shoots me a questioning look about the guy I'm with. I give her a look that says "save me" and she screeches my name, literally. She gives a big tight hug, getting me on my feet as we move away. I don't forget my drink, of course, as we leave a very confused Ethan behind us.

"Thank you so much for saving me, Perrie!" I thank her when we're a away from him.

"You're welcome," she says. "Who was that guy anyway?"

"I have no idea, his name was Ethan. He fell while I was dancing and I helped him up, but he recognized me and pretty much demanded to buy me a drink." I explain, holding up my drink and taking a sip.

"Well good thing we came here in time to rescue you from him," she giggles. "Anyway it's so good we met up! We haven't done this in a while!" She hugs me again and so does Katherine.

"How have you been, Leigh-Anne?" Katherine asks.

"Good, just relaxing, using my time off. You?"

"I'm good. You know, university and all."

"Oh, what course are you doing?" I ask.

"Literature," she is unable to continue because of the sound of Perrie's groans.

"That's enough!" She says jokingly. "Enough small talk, let's have some fuuuuunnnn!"

We go and dance on the dance floor after they've gotten their drinks. Drink after drink, dance after dance, I get a little tipsy. More like a little drunk. Or fully drunk.

I go to the bathroom, passing couples making out. I wish Perrie and I could be like that, I find myself thinking. Bullshit, we'll never be like that. She doesn't like me that way and she is 100% straight.

I stumble to a sink and wash my hands slowly. My mind is clouded and I can't think straight. I haven't been this drunk in so long.

When I go back into the club, I do something I never thought I would do.
