Sticky Fingers (One Direction fanfic)

Chapter 6

Eve's POV

I groaned as my alarm clock made that annoying beeping noise. I checked the time. 8.30. Why was it so early?

'Sam!' I called out. Sam walked in showered and dressed to go out. Now i'm confused.

'Why are you dressed like that?' She frowned and shook her head dissaprovingly.

'You forgot didn't you' I looked at her, confusion written all over my face. What was she talking about?

'Huh?' She rolled her eyes at me.

'The Ritz Annual Masquerade Ball' Cue the facepalm.

'Hehe nice weather right?' Sam threw me off the bed and i landed with a small "thump" groaning.

'I'm coming, i'm coming no need for violence!' She simply left with a satisfied smirk. Meany.

I know what you're thinking. Whats the big deal with this ball?

Well my friends this ball is one of the biggest events of the year. Every known celebrity gets invited to this event, hosted by the Ritz heirs. And since so many celebs come from different parts of the world or are too drunk to drive home they usually stay at the hotel where its being hosted. Which means they bring suitcases. With clothes and personal items. You see what i mean?

Besides after i'm done "borrowing" stuff from celebrities, Sam and I always stay for the party. Its kind of like our annual girls night out. And such a big event ment one thing:

Dress shoping.

I changed quickly into some denim shorts and a white tank top. I grabbed my red TOMS and slipped them on as i made my way to Sam's car.

'Took you long enough' Sam said smiling at me. I stuck my tongue out and she simply laughed and started driving. We arrived at the mall and stepped into the first store we could find.

'Hi may i help you?' A shop attendant asked smiling. Sam smiled back and told her what we were looking for while i scanned some of the racks.

'I think i know what you're looking for. I'll be right back!' The attendant smiled at us again and left to look for our dresses. I pulled out a hideuos pink colored dress with lots of ruffles and rhinestones on it.

'You think i'll look good in this one?' I winked at Sam. She snorted in the most unlady liked way.

'Sure thing you'll look fab!' She responded with an obnoxios receptionist voice. We burst out laughing just as the attendant walked in. She gave us a weird look before guiding us to the dressing rooms.

'Here you go if you need any help i'll be outside!' We thanked her and walked in to the dressing rooms. The lady had given me a bunch of dresses all different styles and colors.

I tried the first one on. It was an emerald green colour with a tight waist then flowy at the bottom. I stepped outside to find Sam wearing a simple navy blue dress. We did a once over at each others dresses before shaking our heads. Pretty dresses just not the ones we need.

We triedon a bunch of dresses but we couldn't find the right one. The shop attendant had brought back a bunch of beautiful looking dresses but Sam and i wouldn't like them. We were about to give up after almost 3 hours of dressing shopping when the shop lady came back with two dresses.

'These are the last two dresses i could find. If you don't like them i can't help you anymore' She said handing each of us a dress. Her smile had left her face two hours ago.

I walked in and put on the dress. I looked in the mirror and gasped. This was definately the dress. It was you're typical little blcak dress and hugged my curves in just the right way. Simple, but effective. I stepped outside to see Sam in a dress just as beautiful as mine. Hers was a red  dress strapless with a black ribbon in the middle. It was tight on the waist and then flowed out on the bottom.
