Once in California

Chapter 5

When they got to the guest house it was already late, so they went to their rooms and started to get ready.

“I’m not going” Emilia said after getting out of the shower,  she had a few minutes to herself and thought about the previous events.

Lydia turned around she was looking how good her blue dress looked on her in the mirror.

“What? stop being funny Em, get dressed!”

Emilia sat down on the bed

“I’m not being funny I’m not going,  I’m not in the mood to…”

Lydia cut her words

“Ok, that’s it,  what the hell happened between you and mister curly hair while Stiles and I were gone?”

Emilia blinked how on earth could she be so perceptive?

“Wha...What?”

“I’m not stupid, I saw the way you too avoid each other for the rest of the trip back home”.

Emilia took a deep breath she knew Lydia was not going to drop this.

“We.. we almost kiss” She tried not to laugh at Lydia’s expression “well, I almost kiss him..  or he almost kiss me I don’t really know” 

“Oh my God! Why are you sad about it if you want him to do it” Lydia sat next to her “and don’t even try to deny it, because you know I’m a very intuitive person”

“I’m not denying anything, it’s just…  you saw him today with Crystal, she likes him” Emilia felt a huge pain in the chest when she said that outloud.

Lydia blinked

“So?” she asked

Emilia stood up.

“So… she is far more beautiful than me, she looks like a model, with her long legs and pretty hair” she sat down again.

She wanted to cry, she felt that any chance she could have with this boy was completely gone for being so slow.

“What the hell are you talking about? Milly you’re gorgeous” Lydia said caressing Emilia’s hair “Well maybe we should do something about your hair, but the rest…”

Lydia stood up and started to search everywhere for something.

“What are you doing?” Em asked looking at her storming around the room.

“Just give me a sec” she said.

Emilia knew what she was doing she was going to try and make her change her mind.

“Lydia, you’re wasting your time, I’m not going”

Lydia put makeup and different clothes on the bed and looked at Emilia

“Let me do this, let me dress you up and then you decide what to do”

Her eyes were shining with emotions. Lydia loved makeovers, she loved to make girls feel better with themselves and she always succeeded. She was in love with fashion so she knew what she was doing.

“Fine” Emilia said after thinking for two minutes, she was going to let her try but she knew she wasn't changing her mind “but you can choose just one outfit”

Lydia smirked

“Oh, don’t worry I have the perfect one here for you”

After an hour of doing her makeup and hair Lydia step back and looked at her creation with amazement.
