Forgotten memories

Chapter 17

When I release Niall he suddenly lifts me up at my legs and carries me in bridal style around the living room. I scream of surprise and hit him playfully on the chest. He laughs at this and shakes me slightly which results in another slap from me. He is grinning to himself and suddenly runs upstairs, carrying me in his arms. He stops in front of my door and gently puts me down, panting slightly.

'Now go change before the party starts,' He grins and with a wink he walks into his room. I stand there for a moment, dumbfounded. Just an hour ago I didn't feel like partying at all and right now I'm full of energy, ready to dance and drink all night long. Niall definitely has some sort of leprechaun magic.

'What are you still doing here?!' Louis exclaims in panic as he comes out of his room. He's wearing dark grey pants with a white polo and smells great. 'The party starts in only one hour and you're still not dressed!' 

I pull a face at him and he pinches his eyes at me. I stick my tongue out at him and walk into my room. Zayn put my bag on my bed and I walk over to take out my clothes. The fabric of the top is extremely soft and I hold it in my hand for a moment. I carefully cut out the price tags of both items and switch my bra with a white bra. I pull on the clothes and look into the mirror, they look pretty good on me. I put some mousse in my hair and just leave it falling down my shoulders in curls.

Not feeling like wearing heels with such a tight skirt, I choose my black sandals. I apply some eyeliner and mascara. On my lips I put some pink lip gloss and I smile when I see the result. I quickly spray some perfume on my neck and smile at myself in the mirror. The bell has been ringing often for the past half hour, meaning the party has started. I open the door and walk down the stairs.

The house is full of people and party music is coming out of the stereo. The boys are nowhere to be seen and I head over to the kitchen to grab another drink. Just when I pour more blue liquor into a cup, someone taps on my shoulder. I turn around and am met by two sparkling brown eyes. Jake. I look at him a second time but it's really him. He's wearing a dark polo with jeans and is smiling broadly at me. I smile at him politely and grab my drink.

'What are you doing here?' I shout at him over the loud music. He laughs and bends in a little.

'Came with a friend of mine, didn't know the party was at your place!' He shouts back as he takes a sip of his beer. I nod understanding and we clink our glasses before taking another sip. But I immediately down the whole drink out of frustration. Jake shouldn't be here, I know Niall will not be happy. I quickly pour myself another drink and down that one too, feeling the alcohol flowing through my body.

'Hey slow down!' Jake exclaims as he puts his hand on my shoulder. I smile sweetly at him and pour another drink. This time I don't down it and just keep it in my hand. Jake now puts his other hand on my shoulder as well and stands a little closer. I feel cramped and I don't like him being this close. In the corner of my eyes I suddenly spot Liam, who's talking to a beautiful brown haired girl.

I quickly duck under one of his arms and walk to Liam. He looks at me and smiles broadly.

'Kate! You look amazing!,' He shouts and then points to the girl next to him, 'Meet my girlfriend Danielle!'

I look from him to the girl and she's smiling widely at me. I pull out my hand and she awkwardly shakes it. Of course, I've probably already met her. 'We've already met haven't we?' I shout at her and she nods apologetically. I shrug and smile at her, she seems cool.

Suddenly there are two hands clamping around my waist, pulling me back. At the look on Liam's face I immediately know who it is and the smile on my face disappears as I turn around. People are  between my and Liam now and I can't see him any more. Jake smells of alcohol and with a grin he moves closer.
