Inevitable

Chapter 20

        We sit in our lingerie, patiently watching the TV, in the living room of our make-shift apartment. We saw no point in getting dressed until they were close to picking us up.

While I was in the shower earlier Jess had told me Zayn texted her and asked her for our address. Instantly I was annoyed and snapped at her, saying "Good for you." My tone was less than friendly. All she did was say "What the fuck Rhenn?" and slammed the door before I could actually explain myself. Even if I did try to explain I don't know what or how to say it, if anything.

So, here we sit in silence. The only sound being the TV and small chuckles here and there. Awkward. Finally I can't take it anymore. I turn to look at Jess. You could slice the tension in-between us.  I shift my leg under the other and face her. "Look, Jess. I don't know what came over me in the shower. I just had a moment. I uhm, think I'm going to start any day now.." That was lame. Mentally slapping myself across the face. It was all I could come up with in 2.5 seconds. I didn't want to sound like I rehearsed it or anything. "It's all good, I hate when you do that you know. It's like the opposite of any girl I know. You're a douche right before you start and a sweetheart when you're on it. Weirdo." She laughs lightly.  "Oh my god,  I know!" I sigh exasperated.  

Our conversation was suddenly interrupted by Jess's phone ringing and the door knocking. I look at the time, it's 6:45. It's too early for the boys to be here. So, I get up to go answer the door. It's probably just my mom. Right as I turn the knob and open the door Jess yells at me. "NO NO NO Rhenn!!!"  as soon as I try to respond to her craziness, The door is open and there are two pairs of very wide eyes staring at me.

I freeze instantly, "Uh hey you're early!" I say, awkwardly shifting my weight and trying to cover my body with my hands.

"Hmm, um, yeah we a-are. Uhm well this is a s-surprise?" Louis jokes trying to form a coherent sentence while his eyes rake down my body.

Zayn starts to smirk while staring at my hands trying to cover myself.

"Uh well I'm going to run to the back now and get dressed." I squirm pointing to the room behind me with my thumb.

They both nod looking everywhere but at my face.

" H-hey guys do you mind, uh turning around for two seconds while I turn around and go back to the room?" I ask shyly.

Without a word they slowly turn around, I can no longer see either of their faces and I'm in a dead sprint. When I turn to look back,  they both have turned around to watch me, grins plastered on their faces. I roll my eyes and laugh. I burst through the door where Jess is laughing hysterically. "Oh my god, Jess. That was so embarrassing!" I cover my face and slide my back down the door. All I have to do is look at her and I'm instantly in a fit of giggles. She's holding her stomach and clapping like a mental seal. "Shut....up..w...we....have....to....get....dressed!" I say in between laughs. "Okay, okay, whew." She calms her self down . She gets off her bed and holds out her hand to help me up. I grab it and I'm on my feet again. We put on our dresses and I ask her for help putting on my sticky bra that doesnt conect in the middle. The plunge neckline without a bra makes my look flat as hell, so, I had to bring out the bra of all bras for this occasion.

My hair falls in light waves while Jess's hair is in an up-do. Little dark stragglers hang around her face. We finally put our heels on, mine red stilettos and Jess's pink wedges. Making our way down the hallway. We hear the boys sitting on our couch talking.

"Yeah but Zayn, This is how I will know for sure."

"Alright man, Alright." Zayn laughs.

Jess and I exchange glances and she clears her throat to give the guys a warning we are coming into the room.

Louis slaps Zayns chest and gestures toward us. When he looks up his scowl from Louis hitting him turns into a wide grin and nod of approval .

"If I do say so myself, We did a damn good job at picking those dresses out. Am I right mate?" Louis says blatantly checking both of us out.

"Of course we did Lou! Plus I think they make anything look good. Look at 'em they're flawless."

"Overload boy's, tone it down." Jess says winking at them. All I can do is giggle, feeling heat creep onto my cheeks. 

The boys chuckle a little.  "Alright, shall we go?" Zayn asks looking at both Jess and I.

We both nod. Louis holds out his arm for me. I look up at him and smile. I slip my arm through his.

I look to see if Jess and Zayn are following and something catches my eye, I look down to their fingers laced together. I instantly stiffen and look forward. This Ladies and Gentelman, is going to be a long night...
