The Past (on hold)

Chapter 17

*The next day, 2 pm.*

*ALEKSANDRA'S P.O.V.*

I HAVE A DATE WITH NIALL TODAY!! Okay, I'm freaking out. I have no idea what to wear and I'm nervous as hell. What if I do something to embarrass myself badly or do something wrong or.... Okay the best thing to do right now, is probably to call my mum and ask her for some advice.

I turned on my computer and went to skype to see that luckily my mum was online. I pressed call and waited for her to pick up. Soon her face popped to the screen.

"Hello! Didn't expect you to call. But it's nice to see your face" mum said smiling.

"Heey! And yeah.. Well I need some adviced and luckily you were online so I decided to call" I said shrugging.

"What's wrong, darlin'?" mum asked.

"I-I... I've got a date in four hours and I don't know what to wear or anything and I'm super duper nervous! Please tell me you have some advice?" I said to mum, my voice almost desperate.

"What? You're going on a date? With who? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" mum said. I knew she would freak out. She was my mum after all.

"Mum, calm down! I only got asked yesterday so I was way too overwhelmed myself. And remember the boy who lives one floor downwards that I told you about?"

"Okay, and yeah, I remember you telling me about him. Are you going on a date with him?" she asked.

"Yeah, I've got a date with him in four hours and I'm about to freak out" I said.

"Okay, now it's your turn to calm down. Okay, about that dressing problem of yours. Do you know where you're going?"

"Umm... We're just gonna stay in his apartment and cook together and watch some movies" I said.

"Okay. Well then I think you should wear something comfy and casual. I don't think that a dress is a good choice. I'd rather put on jeans and a nice shirt or something like that" she said.

"Okay, I thought jeans would be a good choice too. But what shirt should I put on. I can't decide" I said, pulling my hair in frustration.

"Calm down, honey. You're gonna look stunning in any shirt you choose. Show me four shirts that you can't decide from and then I'll tell you my opinion as which is the best" mum said calmly.

"Okay, let me go get them" I said and walked to my wardrobe to get the four shirts that I wanted to put on. I also took a pair of high waisted black skinny jeans cause that's what I was gonna wear with whichever shirt I choose. I changed on the first one of the shirts, which is a loose white t-shirt with the text "LOVE IS EVERYTHING" on black letters. I changed on the jeans also and tucked the hem of the shirt into the jeans. Then I walked in front of the camera to show my mum and ask for her opinion.

"So this is the first one, what do you think?" I asked while twirling around.

"It's really nice! Next one, please" my mum said. I laughed and went to change to the next shirt. It was a white loose shirt with 3/4 sleeves and it had navy blue decorations around the collar which continued down the sleeves. I put it on and walked on-camera again.

"What do you think about this one?" I asked and twirled around.

"I like that one too. Show me the next one. I'll tell you in the end which one you should wear" mum said. I nodded and went to put on the third shirt. It was a turqoise t-shirt which had random letters scattered all over he front of the shirt. I showed it to my mum and then went to change to the last shirt. This shirt was loose, lime-coloured and it had it spelled "May every sunrise bring you hope. May every sunset bring you peace." I went to show it to my mum and ask which one of the shirts she liked the most.

"They were all lovely and you would look gorgeus even in sweatshirt and sweatpants. But I think you should either wear the second shirt or the last one. The last one would bring some colour to your outfit, so in my opinion you should wear that one" mum said.

"I was thinking about wearing this one as well. So I'll put this one on. And then, what should I do to my hair?" I then asked.

"Don't do much, just put it on a high ponytail, so your neck tattoo can be seen" mum told me. And yes, I do have a tattoo on my neck. I have two little butterflies up in my neck, so they're easy to hide by keeping my hair down. I nodded and then told my mum that I had to go to shower so I'd have enough time to get ready. She wished me good luck and then disconnected the call. I then walked to the bathroom and hopped into the shower.

When I got out of the shower I blowdried my hair and then went to put on clothes. I then checked the time and it was 4 pm. I still had 2 hours to go so I decided to fix myself a cup of tea at this point to calm down my nerves. After the tea was ready, I sat down in the table and chatted with Amalia for a while.

When it was 4.30 pm. I started doing my makeup. Nothing heavy, just foundation, powder, mascara and a fine line of eyeliner to bring my eyes out just a bit more.

After my makeup was done, I started doing my hair. I put it on a high ponytail and then made a fishtail braid to it.

By the time I was ready, it was already 5.30 pm. I took my purse and put my wallet there (just in case) and then I went to the kitchen and put my evening medicine to a little box. I had to take my medicine everyday at the same time. At 9 am., between 3 to 4 pm. and at 10 pm. Cause I didn't know when I was gonna come home, I had to take them with me in case I was there longer than 'til 10 pm. I put the medicine box to my purse and then grabbed my phone to be put in there as well.

After running around my apartment and freaking out, it was time to leave. I went to put on my shoes and my jeanjacket. I then grabbed my keys, walked out and locked the door behind me.

My hands were shaking when I walked down the stairs very slowly and when I reached Niall's door, I took deep breath before ringing the doorbell.
