Playing the Game

Chapter 40: The Party Part One

Chapter 40

I rubbed my face with the towel before standing up a little straighter and looking at myself in the mirror.

Clean shaven, my hair was washed, clean grey t-shirt, and jeans that weren't faded around the knees.

Elizabeth told me to quote "dress it up" for tonight and to "not be in my regular gross Texas clothes".

So here I was, looking nice and spiffy enough for her to show me off to her New Jersey friends.

I ran a hand through my hair, messing it up slightly before turning off the light in the bathroom and grabbing a flannel.

I pulled it on, knowing that it would be chilly outside before heading towards her room.

Music was blasting from the bathroom and clothes were strewn all over the room.

But I certainly was not expecting the sight that I encountered upon entering the bathroom.

Elizabeth was sitting on the counter with her legs across the sink wearing just spandex and a bra. Lola was standing in front of the sink, literally shaving Elizabeth's legs, wearing an over large sweatshirt and knee high socks.

"Hey sexy." Elizabeth grinned, glancing up at me before switching to put eyeliner on her other eye.

"What on earth is going on in here?" I asked with a laugh, leaning against the doorway.

"We're getting ready for tonight! I've never actually taken the time to look cute for one of these after-game parties so we're going all out tonight." Elizabeth laughed, rummaging in her makeup bag.

"And the legs?" I raised my eyebrows. "You haven't shaved in like two weeks, what changed?"

"All for the effect." Elizabeth winked at me, examining a tray of eyeshadows. "Lo, which one?"

The two girls debated over the various shades she was going to put on her eye before finally coming to an agreement.

"Some friend." I said to Lola as she continued to shave my girlfriend's legs.

"We're pressed for time. We have to leave for the game in like three minutes." Lola explained, drying Elizabeth's legs. "Finish quickly, I'm going to go get dressed."

"Do my a favor and go into my brother's room and put this charger back." Elizabeth tossed a charger at me as she jumped down from the counter.

"Uh where in his room?"

"Just wherever." Elizabeth shrugged, walking past me to get into her room.

By the time I got back from her brother's room, both girls were dressed and doing last minute fix-ups in the mirror.

Elizabeth was wearing a pair of high waisted leggings and a long sleeved crop top with white adidas on her feet.

The top was a low V that didn't leave much to the imagination and she was wearing more makeup than I'd ever seen on her.

"Well hey." I laughed as she grabbed a jacket from the chair in the room.

"Well hey." Elizabeth grinned. Then she saw what I was wearing and her smile faded. "That's what you're wearing? I told you to dress it up."

"I don't know what that means..." I sighed.

"Ugh it's fine you'll be in a jacket at the game, anyways." Elizabeth muttered, walking past me to get into the hallway.

The game was absolutely freezing and Elizabeth's old school played a killer second half, gaining themselves another win for the season.

It was a weird experience being in a student section at a football game, especially at a school where football was not as big as back home.
