I'm stood outside uni waiting for mum to come and pick me up. I've felt so much happier since I spoke to Nathan. He was wearing a snap-back and a pair of sunglasses which if I do say so myself made him look very very attractive. It's not sunny though so I don't see why he would need the glasses if I'm completely honest. I actually text him before because I'd like to get to know him a bit more.

I heard a beep snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see mum not looking too happy. "How many times to I need to pip the horn before you pay attention?" She asked, laughing slightly. I smiled and walked round to the passenger side before hopping in. Mum's always been nice to me when dad wasn't around. I used to hear her crying at night whilst my dad was shouting. Personally, I think he abused her and now, she feels like it's the right to do which is why she 'abuses' me in front of dad. She's never actually hit me once, she's just been verbal and, I think I know why. I just need to get it out of her first.

"So, can I see some of today's songs or designs?" She asked me, seeming interested for the first time. I nodded, picking my book out of my bag and showing her some fashion designs. Mum was quite well known in the country, she used to be a model and now works in a fashion company but she kind of directs models and picks outfits for them so she can be a great help. "These are...They're amazing! Sweetheart, I'm so proud of you!" She gushed making me smile. None of my parents have ever said they're proud of me, this makes me so happy. "Thanks mum," I smiled at her, she kissed my head and then started the journey home.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out to see I had received a text off Nathan making me grin instantly. "Why are you so happy?" Mum asked smirking at me then looking back at the road. "No reason..." I trailed off and clicked on the text.

Nathan - "I've been waiting for that text ever since you left starbucks;)"

Adira - "I've been waiting for that reply ever since I sent it"

Is that classed as flirting? "Adira, who's texting you?" Mum asked. "Oh urm, n-no one," I stuttered, mentally face palming myself afterwards. "You can tell me, dad won't find out," she assured me. I looked over to see her switching from my face and the road with her eyes. She seemed so genuine and I suppose she won't tell dad because he'd accuse her of lying to him and then they'll argue.

"I ur, I met a boy," I told her, feeling my cheeks heat up thinking about him. "What's his name?" She questioned. "Nathan," I told her, another smiled spreading across my face. "I'm guessing he's nice then?" She asked, I nodded in reply. "Just be careful, don't let him take control over you...trust me you don't want that," she told me, mumbling the last bit, but I heard. I heard her alright.

When we got home my grandparents were sat in the living room and dad was on the phone to someone. I was showing my nanna some of my work when I heard part of dad's conversation. "Okay Thomas, I'll see you soon," he said before putting the phone down then looking at me and laughing at my expression. Like I've said before, need to act normal. "Tom's coming home?" I asked, excitement evident in my voice. He nodded, "in about half an hour so go get ready, he's fetching his band mates as well." He explained. My eyes widened as I sprung off the sofa and ran upstairs.

I jumped in the shower and quickly washed my hair and body, no where needs shaved so I'm good there. I dried my hair then sort of straightened it in the quickest time ever before running over to my wardrobe to find some clothes. This is going to be hard...Maybe not. I settled on a black top with lace around the top part, near the collar and paired it with a light blue skirt which flowed nicely to about mid-thigh (outfit on the side). I placed some black suede type pumps on my feet and added my make up. I applied my foundation, concealer and then powder where I needed it then started on the rest of my face. For my eyes, I added a natural looking pink with winged eyeliner and mascara. I decided against blusher and went for quite a bright pink/red colour on my lips; not too bright though.

*15 minutes later*

"Adira, come downstairs now please, Tom's going to be here soon; they were running a bit late," mum said stepping into my room, dad behind her. Both of their mouths dropped making me feel insecure suddenly. "W-What?" I asked hugging my waist. "You look beautiful," dad told me. I looked at him confused, I haven't heard him say that since I was a little girl. I smiled thankfully then made my way downstairs.

As I reached the last step, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it," I called to my family present in the house at the moment. I opened the door and squealed when I saw him. "Tommy!" I shouted jumping on him, giving him a huge hug. He laughed at me. "Adi!" He squealed like a girl causing me to giggle. I pulled away and noticed 4 boys stood staring at me, making me blush. "Urm, Ads, these are my band mates,"  he said as they all stepped inside. "This is Max," he told me; Max stepped forward embracing me in a hug and rubbing my eat, weird. "This is Siva," he said; Siva came over and wrapped his arms around my small frame taking me into his chest. "Hiya darlin'," he said, oh that Irish accent. "This is Jay," he stated as the curly haired one came forward and pulled me into a huge bear hug. "Nice to meet you," he said politely before stepping back. "And last but not least, this is-" He started before I cut him off. "Nathan," I finished for him. He looked confused but Nathan smiled, coming over to me and giving me a hug. "We met at starbucks," Nathan pointed out. Tom made an 'oh' sound before going to see mum and dad.

I took the boys into the living room before going into the kitchen to get drinks for everyone. "Fancy seeing you here," I heard someone say behind me. I smiled instantly, turning around to face him. "I live here, you're in my brothers band; it'd be kinda hard to not see me here," I said turning back to the drinks. He chucked before standing next to me. "You look gorgeous," he told me, I looked up at him and smiled. "Thanks," I blushed making him smirk. "You're welcome babe," he replied making me blush more. "So cute," he mumbled before taking a drink and leaving with a wink.

Damn, that boy.
