Always You || Simon Minter (miniminter)

Chapter 12

Simon and I head into the house, closing the door behind us we both head upstairs. We part ways as we go to our own rooms, I put my shopping bags down on the floor and I flop onto the bed, lying still for a minute, thinking. I am excited for tonight, but for some unknown reason I am also scared. I have came to the conclusion that I do like Simon, a lot. My stomach constantly flutters when hes around, my skin burns when he touches me, my brain runs wild when he talks, I have completely and utterly fallen for this goofy blonde boy and I don't quite know what to do about it. I sit up and groan, my head hurts I am just so confused on what to do, picking up my phone I check the time, it's 6PM I should start getting ready.

I move to my desk and I begin to do my makeup, I decide to go for a classy but natural look as I don't want to overdo it with my makeup, I do a smokey eye and pair it with red lips adding a pop of color. After about twenty minutes of trying to put my lashes on I finally finish, sitting back I admire how different I look, I feel good.

"Millie?" There's a knock on my door before it slowly opens to reveal Jide, looking kinda sheepish. I turn to look at him and he smiles at me, eyes widening when he sees how different I look, "Wow you look great Millie," he beams, walking over to stand behind my seat, looking at me in the mirror in front of me.

"Thank you Jide," I smile and look up to see him above me, hes shaved his face and fixed his hair, he doesn't look to bad himself. "We will be leaving in half an hour if you'll be ready?" he leans down to rest his chin on my head making me laugh at how childish he acts.

"I just need to do my hair then I'll be ready, I'll meet you downstairs?" he nods in agreement before leaving me to fix the mess on my head.

I curled my hair into loos curls, they fall perfectly around my shoulders and they really make me look like a woman again, I feel amazing. I slip my dress on and quickly put my heels on, I go to grab my bag but I get a glance of what I look like in the mirror, I didn't recognize my self. I look completely different, a few months ago I was constantly in bed and just feeling sorry for my self but now I'm here, I'm back with Jide and I finally feel happy. I smile to my self before grabbing my bag, my phone and of course lipstick and I head downstairs.

I forgot how hard it is to go down stairs in heels, never mind marble stairs, I almost slipped to my death. As I get to the bottom step I glance around to see if anyone is downstairs yet and I see vik standing in the kitchen so I head to the kitchen.

"Hey Vik, you look smart," Hes wearing a black velvet tuxedo with a white shirt and black bow tie, he cleans up quite good. "Thank you Millie, you look incredible," he beams at me, vik holds out a glass of what I presume is champagne and I kindly take it from him.

"Are you excited? You'll get to meet all of our friends." I can tell Vikk has had more to drink already, his cheeks are have a slight tint of rosy red, "I'm excited but I'm also nervous," I frown a little, taking a sip from the champagne.

"Is it because of Simon?" I almost choke, what does he mean, "You two have gotten quite close, I wouldn't be surprised if something happened between you two," Vikk laughs lightly knowing I'm a little uncomfortable, do all the boys know?

"Has he said anyt-" I get cut off by Jide bursting into the kitchen, he looked amazing in a classic black tuxedo.

"You look incredible Millie!" He pulls me into a big hug, picking me up and spinning me in the process. "Jide stop you'll ruin my dress," I laugh as he puts me down, he holds me from my shoulders and looks at me, just like he did at the station a couple months ago.

"You look happier," he whispers, smiling his classic goofy smile, it's infectious it really is. "I am," his smile causes me to smile and before we know it we're hugging again, I truly do feel happier here with everyone.

"Are we all re-" Simon walks into the kitchen and he stops dead as he catches my eye, I watch his eyes rake up and down my body and it causes my blood to heat up and my heart to pound faster. He clears his throat and glances round the room.

"Are we ready? Josh is already there with Freya," Simon doesn't loose eye contact with me, my cheeks heat up and he grins, clearly noticing my embarrassment.

"Right let's go, taxi's here," Vikk ushers us all outside and we cram into a small taxi and before we know it we arrive at Harry's.

We pile out of the car and I stare in amazement, I had seen the Stratford halo on tv and stuff before but I had never seen it in person, it was beautiful. "It's nice isn't it," Jide walks up behind me, looking up at the building, "stunning," I almost whisper, still amazed.

"Did you know JJ owns the penthouse?" Vik mentions, standing beside me. Jide owns the penthouse of this building, it must be a fortune, I mean I knew he had money but I never knew it was this much money.

"Let's go," Simon pushes through the boys eventually pushing us all forward, he places his hand on my lower back and I can feel my skin burning with his touch.

After Harry taking ages to answer the buzzer we are soon outside his apartment, I am filled with anticipation this place is crazy. Freezy opens the door and invites us all in, "you must be Amelia," Freezy pulls me in for a hug, I laugh and hug him back, "I am, you must be Cal," he pulls away and nods, he leads us to the kitchen to get some drinks and I decide on a glass of red wine.

"Millie!" Harry runs in almost tackling me with a hug, I scream has he almost takes me to the ground, "Harry watch it!" I laugh, Harry was always so lovely to me, he made me feel welcome. It was strange having this many people hugging me, or even being happy to see me in that matter, we still have a long night ahead of us and I am excited to see what it brings.
