I go to my room while Daniel is downstairs. I open the box to a dress. It was..... PERFECT. It was the dress that I was searching for, which was literally impossible to find. I lift up the dress and admire it until i realise that I need to get ready quickly.
I do my makeup while listening to Ariana Grande, GOD DAMN I LOVE HER VOICE!! I normally don't do my makeup but only on occasions and well today is an exception. The hardest part for me for the look was the winged liner. And Dani was shouting for me to hurry up as well, GOD!!! Although I truly am sooooo thankful for him to have got me this AMAZING dress but if my winged eyeliner isn't right then my life isn't either. I don't think guys know the struggle with doing the wing. I finally finish after 5 mins making sure the eyeliners were symmetrical.
I grab my curling wand as my hair is straight af and create loose curls but still there was something wrong with my hair. As you can guess this day literally is my life, that is why I'm complaining a lot. I look on Tumblr and find a cute braid to do in my hair. It takes me 5 mins and I pancake it which makes it look good.
I walk over to bed and slip on the dress, luckily I brought a strapless bra with me from England. The dress is like silk, the way it becomes in contact with my skin and causing it to form goosebumps due to the beautiful material wrapping itself around my body. I look into the mirror and honestly I feel like crying. It's funny how such a small thing could be soooo much to you.

I shout to Daniel that I'm done while spraying Victoria Secrets mist on my body, wrists, neck and back of my legs, practically using half the bottle. I grab my clutch and walk downstairs and Dani is standing there watching my every move, his mouth is open and he hasn't blinked for a while. "DANI, TAKE PICTURE ITLL LAST LONGER," I say winking at him as he escapes his fantasy of me.
"OMG ALIYAH, YOU LOOK STUNNING!" He says which makes me blush, "You're looking fit as well" I reply. He literally did, ugghhh I don't understand my feelings for Dani obviously he's like my bestfriend so why Is he making me get butterflies. He opens the door so we could leave, "Dani quick question how are we going to get..... OMG" Before i could finish my sentence I see a white Lamborghini parked infront of my house "I know people" He smirks.
He walks me to the car and opens the door for me to get inside, I get in and before I know It Dani slaps my arse. "Thanks Dani I needed that, It's made me feel so much better" I laugh and so does he.
"Daniel"
"Yh Alli?" He looks at me.
"No words can explain how this feels, I don't know how to thank you, I just don't know how you did this and out of all the people in the world you did this for me" I lay my head on his shoulder and he wraps his arms around me. "SHUT UP! You deserve this more than anybody that I know, your truly amazing and if u wanna pay me back I wouldn't mind a kiss" He says cheekily.
"Naahh I'm good thanks, I'll pay you back another way" His face drops and he tries giving me the puppy eyes. GOD DAMN! It was sooo hard to say no but I needed to.
We arrive at the venue and it is 8 O'clock, were fashionably late. Daniel helps me out of the car. He grabs my hand and says "You ready?"
We were about to go into the room when Dan disappeared, we were in a gigantic crowd and I lost him, he was currently meant to be checking in, but I no longer could see him. I see the bathroom and walk to it prepping myself. I look in the mirror and tell myself to be the confident aliyah.
I am interrupted my someone saying my name, "Aliyah, omg is that you" I look and there is a girl staring at me her eyes were lit up "ITS IS YOU ALIYAH, DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME ITS JULISSA, Your still beautiful as ever, what you doing here, aren't you meant to be at the party?"
Julissa was one of my old friends in America we weren't close but we were good friends but it's been years since I've seen her and has changed a lot shes become such a beautiful and amazing looking young women.
"Thank you and your looking stunning as well. I came with Dani I wasn't going to come but I changed my mind and now I've lost him, and now my anxiety is increasing"
"Girl, look at you go out there and show em your confident. I'll meet you inside ok" I smile and I nod my head.
