The Past (on hold)

Chapter 21

*ALEKSANDRA'S P.O.V.*

 *The next evening, August 22nd, 4pm*

Today, in three hours, Niall's gonna pick me up and we are going out. So I guess I should go take a shower now, so I'd have enough time to get ready.

Earlier today I had gone to get some groceries since my cupboards and fridge were almost completely empty. I had also bought some fruits since I absolutely love to drink a fruity smoothie in the morning. I bought a couple of lemons as well. That's probably a weird thing about me, but I actually love lemon. I eat a slice of lemon every day. And like.. I eat it completely, so only the peels will be left. Lemonwater is also a thing that I love. I often take a jug and fill it with water, then put there two slices of lemon and keep it in the fridge.

 Well enough of that. After I came from the shower I blowdried my hair and then went to choose an outfit. I decided to wear a white shirt with a black highwaisted skirt. I tucked the hem of the shirt into the skirt. I then slipped on red high heels.

 After getting dressed, I took out my makeup bag and started doing my makeup. I normally used just foundation, concealer, powder and mascara, but since this was a special occassion, I decided to add a bit of bronzer, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow and lipstick.

 After my makeup was done, I started curling my hair. It took a lot of time, since I had a long hair which aslo was quite thick. After curling my hair, I made two braids to go from the sides of my head.

 When I was done with all that, it was 6.30 pm. I took off my bracelet, that I wore every day and all the time. I had actually found it from a second hand shop, but I fell in love with it immediately, so I just had to buy it. It was made from silver and it had two thicker chain and one thinner and it had little balls on it and they were twisted to a nice swirl. I replaced the bracelet with another one. It had multiple bracelets tied together and I really liked it with the outfit.

 Now all I needed to do, was find my purse and put my phone, wallet and keys there. So I did that.

 After I was completely ready, it was 6.45 only 15 minutes before Niall would be here. I'm so nervous that my hands were shaking. Then I hear a knock from the door. I walk slowly to the door, open it and see Niall standing there, looking at the groud.

 He lift's his head when he hears the door opening. He smiles widely at me.

 "Hey Al!" he says.

 "Hi Ni!" I say.

 "Uhh.. These are for you" he says, handing me a boquet of roses.

 "Aww, thank you Ni! They're so beautiful!" I say.

 "Just like you" Niall says, and blushes a bit. I blush crimsom and look dow to hide it.

 "Thank you" I say shyly. Then I go to the kitchen to find a vase for the roses and fill it with water, then I place it on the middle of the table. Then I walk back to the door and grab my purse on the way.

 "Are you ready?" Niall asks.

 "Yeah, I am" I say and grabmy jacket.

 "Shall we, then?" he asks and reaches his hand to grab mine.

 "Yes, we shall" I say and grab Niall's hand.

 I lock the door behind us and we waited for the elevator to come. We stepped in and went down to the hall of the building.

 "Let's go out through the back dor since my car is there and it's not so easy to spot us" Niall said and squeezed my hand a bit thighter.

 "Okay" I said and squeezed back.
