Untamed Love

Chapter 37 - Tess

Chapter 37 - Tess

I felt my hand being torn away from Niall's. I was soon pushed and shoved between and underneath hundreds of crazy screaming girls. People kept tripping over me, kicking me in the process. I curled myself up into a ball rocking back and forth trying to block out the blows that were thrown by hundreds of feet.

I stayed like that trying not to get overwhelmed by what was happening around me. I felt like I was going to lash out a few times but then I would pinch myself and the feeling would drain away. I felt a warm hand touch my shoulder. I quickly looked up to see what it was. The figure was blurred due to my tears. I blinked them away and saw my irish boyfriend looking down at me with sorry eyes.

He bent down and kissed me on the forehead. He lifted me up and started pushing through the crowd. I helped him by pushing away charging heads. As soon as we made it past the barricade of guards, we collapsed onto the ground. We were pulled into the van and I rested my head on Niall's chest.

The shocking scene replayed in my head and my point of view changed. I started laughing. "It's alright Tess".

I lifted my head up and said "I'm not crying Ni". I then explained why and he smiled and kissed me. We made out for a few minutes. I felt his soft lips pressing aginst mine. I felt the tingling his lips left on mine. His kiss was addictive and when his lips left mine leaving the cold air to hit them, I wanted more.

I rested my head on Niall's chest. The slow rise and fall of Niall's chest made my head do the same. I could hear Niall's constant and reassuring heartbeat beneath my ear and I drifted off into my unconcious state.

"Tess. Tess. Wake up hunny" Niall whispered in my ear.

I woke up with slightly knotted hair and squinting eyes. We had arrived at the hotel. I looked outside the window and there was a sea of people. "Oh no! Not again" I complained.

"Don't worry. This time I promise you'll be okay. Paul is taking our bags so I can protect you this time" Niall explained with a smile. I nodded and smiled to reassure Niall. We opened the door and quickly ran through the crowd of screaming females. We pushed opened the door to the hotel lobby and an instant rush of cold air hit my skin cooling me down.

Niall looked at me. Little beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and in his hairline. He quickly wiped it away with his arm. "You okay?"

"Yeah. Fine. You on the other hand could use a little rest"

He chuckled and kissed me with a sweaty upperlip. I flinched away as his lips touched me. We both laughed. Paul had set our bags down and checked in. We loaded into the elevator. Iz and Cara were looking at me in an unfamiliar way. "What?" I questioned.

They just wriggled their eyebrows in response. When we had reached our floor, I was about to walk out of the elevator when two pairs of hands pulled me back. "W-what is up with you two?"

"We just want to see how you are doing" Cara said. Her bright green eyes were dull and sad looking. What was up?

"Yeah. How are you doing Tess?" Iz asked. Her eyes were usually the prettiest things you would ever see. Now her once beautiful green, blue and gold eyes were a dull blue. Something was definitely up.

"I'm fine thanks. Why are you doing this? Iz? Cara?" I looked at them suspiciously. They looked down at their feet and didn't say another word. The elevator started to go down. I quickly pressed level 23 and the elevator went up again. When the doors opened I instantly walked out.

I walked up to the door of our hotel room just as a thought flew into my head. I spun around and said, "are you two worried slash happy slash jealous of me and Niall?"

Cara and Iz looked suprised. "Wow you still read us so well after such a long time without speaking to us that much" said Iz.

"Yeah. You've kind of left us for Niall. We understand that you two are a couple, but we are your best friends" said Cara with pain and sadness clear in her voice.

"And you'll still be my best friends. No matter what we go through, we always have eachother. No one can replace you. Remember that"

"Can we at least do something together? Just the three of us?"

"Yeah. It will be fun. No boys. No phones unless someone is dying or we have to change a booking or something"

"That's just what I was thinking. What about a day at the spa, we can get our nails done and get massages and spoil ourselves"

"Sounds great" my best friends agreed. Their eyes lit up in the slightest way. I smiled knowing I will make my friends happy. I also felt guilty and shameful that I didn't see this coming. They were my best friends. I had known them for almost half my life and I didn't see this coming.

I knew that having quality girl time together will patch us up. Guess I was wrong about Cara and Iz. I feel really bad.

THE NEXT DAY

I woke up early and made everyone pancakes. I gave everyone three and wrote their names on the stack with maple syrup. Cara and Iz popped into the 'dining room'. Im glad this hotel room had a kitchen. It was more like an apartment.

They gave me tired smiles. I sat down with them and greatfully ate the stack of pancakes before me. We sat and ate and laughed at stupid things. "Okay girls. You go get ready and I'll wash up!" I said excitedly. 

The plodded away to the room we shared. 

- Cara -

I'm glad that we are spending a day with just us and no boys. They need to practise and record and practise some more today. We are going to a spa and then to get our nails done. I want to go shopping after that but we will have to see how we go for time. 

I dabbed a bit of concealer around my nose and under my eyes and slipped on a mint green cami top and my favourite denim shorts. I picked out my black vans and brushed a bit of bronzer on my face. Then I walked into the bathroom to do my hair. I make up my own hairstyles. That's why I always do Iz's and Tess' hair. 

I took a little section of hair from the left side of my head and split it in to and twisted them and then added more hair to one part then twisted again. I continuted doing that until it reached my ear. I secured it with pins. I check my hair in the mirror before walking out to do Iz's hair. 

- Iz -

I chucked on a plain white t-shirt with my rainforest print shorts and black sandals. Cara came to do my hair while I concealed all my pimple scars. I added a little bit of blush to my cheeks to add some colour and I was done. Cara had done a beautiful job eith my hair as usual. She had done two plaits starting from either side of my head and then joined them up in one plait and left the rest of my hair down. 

We both walked out to see Tess drying her hands from washing the dishes. She smiled at us and said "I'm just going to get changed". Cara and I looked at each other signalling to help Tess. We nodded at the same time and followed behind Tess. She went into the bathroom to possibly wash her face. 

In the mean time I picked out a peachy cami top with her favourite denim jeans with an aztec design on them. I also picked out her gold-bronze sandals that she absolutely adored. Tess walked out of the bathroom with a bare face. She looked at the clothes on the bed and she smiled at me. She turned her head to look at Cara that was holding a hairbrush and a million pins. Cara grinned widely. 

Tess shook her head and got changed into the clothes that I had picked out. "Sit" ordered Cara. Tess obeyed and Cara started on her hair. I picked up her concealer and dabbed a bit where she needed it the most. 

- Tess -

Iz used my favourite face brush to blend in the concealer. It felt like feathers gliding along my face. After my friends had finished with me I smiled at them both and hugged them. "Let me go grab my purse and then we'll go.
