The Unextraordinary Life of Alexandra Jane (Editing)

Chapter Twenty-Four: Winter Heart

I woke up this morning with a little too much excitement. I got up, showered, ate breakfast with Jackie at a diner a few blocks from my house then we went to go pick up our dresses. We got our hair and makeup done after grabbing some lunch and now we're in my room waiting for Niall and Louis to get here. 

Jackie looks stunning wearing a pink dress that has roses trailing along the neck line of her chest and sparkly silver pumps make her a foot taller. Her long Hair is in small curls that flow down to her shoulders, framing her face nicely. She begged me to let her do my make up by I didn't budge. Her make up style is mostly eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow and some blush while mine is a bit of foundation and very little eyeliner on the top of my eye lid. 

I walk over to my bathroom just to get one last glance at myself before Niall and Louis get here at 9:00 p.m.

My hair is brought to my right shoulder and long curls reach the middle of my torso in one big caramel colored wave. My dress is simple, black, with a heart shaped neck line that doesn't plunge down too much. It also has a small opening at the knee, my heels are only one and half inches tall and are crimson colored.

I look like a freaking doll, why can't we just wear yoga pants and T-shirts to dances? It's way more comfortable when dancing.

I'm twisting my hair with my index finger when the door bell rings and Jackie sticks her head through the door frame.

"They're here!" She squeals

We grab our purses and phones from my bed and head downstairs. I open the door and smile instantly. 

Niall nods curtly to me then his blue eyes widen when he takes in Jackie. He's wearing a black tuxedo with a pink bow tie and pink vest under that matches Jackie's dress. HIs blond hair is pushed into one soft spike at the front. He walks over to her and hands her a corsage that has a white flower and small blue pearls, Jackie's favorite color. She smiles at him revealing her dimples then hands him the small white tulip that is placed in the front pocket of the tuxedo. He grins and wraps his arms at her. When they pull away their hands meet and their fingers interlock. He pecks her on the cheek and they turn to face us.

I was too busy watching Jackie and Niall's greet that I almost forgot about Louis. I turn to face him and then my eyes are the ones that widen at the sight of him. 

He's wearing a white button up shirt with a black tuxedo coat over it, a black tie on his chest. His black pants resemble skinny jeans tremendously and his ankles peek through at the bottom. His chocolate brown hair is slicked back exposing his defined cheekbones and sparkling blue eyes.

"Hey" He smiles with his hands placed behind his back

"Hey yourself" I smile back 

"Your wrist madam" he says holding out his hand

I place my hand in his and he slips on a beautiful white rose. My favorite flower. 

"It's beautiful, thank you. Your turn" I smile at him and reach over to to retrieve the small flower I placed on the living room coffee table. 

I place the bright red rose in his jacket pocket. He takes my hand in his kissing it softly

"You look beautiful" he whispers 

"And you look very handsome" I answer

"Okay are we ready?" Niall's voice sounds excited and nervous at the same time. 

"Ready" We all say in unison as we exit my house and all get in the black limousine waiting for us outside.
