It's was Wednesday night, and to say that I was panicking for this party might have been just a small understatement. Make up was scattered around the room like someone had just raided my dressing table. I had chosen a dress but I just kept second guessing it, I didn't know who would be at this party and I didn't want them thinking that I was some hobo off the streets. Nope, I know that was a stupid thought but I was just so nervous, which I don't think I have ever been for a party before. The dress was black, classy and had a sexy feel to it. It ran down the sides of my figure and held on at the sides of my arms, showing off my shoulders and collar bones. It stopped just above my knees. My shoes were again a laced black heel and reveled my lengthy legs where the dress slit to one side.
"How long do we have?!" Amber came sprinting into my room in a slim-fitting red dress that made her look so cute with matching stilettos. Her hair was in a Frizz which she clearly had not tamed yet. "About Half an hour before we have to leave, so hurry up" and with that, she was off.
That half an hour later, I was done, Amber was done, so we headed for the road in my small white mini. "You look stunning Al, I'm jealous" Amber stated friendly to me as I kept my eyes on the dark road. "Oh come on Ambs, you have nothing to be jealous about, you actually have tits.."
"Hmm, true" she laughed looking down and cupping them.
"Ugh!" and with that I punched her in the boob. Playfully (I know how much it hurts).
"Keep your eyes on the road!" she shouted, she did know how to distract me.
The rain hammered down hard as we pulled up in the venue driveway. Again, I forgot a coat, I was no good at remembering. We stepped out the car (luckily it was under shelter) and were approached immediately by a dark strong looking man in a smart suit and tie. "Ladies, names please"
"Alix"
"Amber"
He scanned down the huge list of people. Shit, there was ALOT of people on that list, I fear to think of how many of those are famous. He carried on scanning.
"It freezing out here if you didn't notice" Amber snapped stubbornly at the body guard. His eyebrows raised at Ambers snide comment and his eyes met hers. I thought he was going to kill her for a second but he just said "okay, in you go" as he crossed our names off the list. The doors opened and the flood of music swept into my ears and I was instantly hyped. An artificial blue light filled the room with a lot of body's thrown about with wine and beer glasses in almost each ones hand. Amber tugged on my arm as she spotted the bar. That's were I planned to head first. vodka and coke up first and it went right to my head. Light weight. Slightly tipsy I would say that me and Amber were now and I was feeling a little more confident.
I was secretly starting to wonder were Jessie was, I couldn't see her, all I saw were blurred peoples faces going mental. I don't think the majority of people here were half sober.
The music was blasting loud while a hundred people bounced up and down on the light-changing dance floor. The music suddenly changed and just then Amber and I shot our heads up to each others gaze instantly as we recognized the song. "My anaconda don't" she started to mime to me as the song began. "My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hun" I mimed back to her, huge smiles grew on our faces as we started to crack up. "Al, this is our song!" she pulled me straight for the dance floor and we were miraculously submerged by humans singing the words out loud.
Don't get me wrong right, I have an amazing taste in music and this song may not be the most musical, but me and Amber now call this OUR song since this one night when we went clubbing in one of legendary London's clubs called Sound Wavez (yes, with a Z) and this song was playing when Amber decided to spew up everywhere, all over the not so sober people and had to rush to the bathroom to get herself cleaned up, and when I asked her in the morning about what she remembered from the night she said that it was that song.
The second rounds of drinks that we had earlier I think had now got more to our heads as we were ferociously jumping with the rest of the crowd and having ourselves a great time. Until of corse a huge arm swung round and punched me perfectly, right in the center of my nose.
"Fuck!" I yelled as I realized I was on the floor. Gasps from the people around me had caused me to be more aware of the situation that I was currently in.
"Oh my god! I'm so so so sorry" I herd a faint panicked voice emerge from the crowd of people. For a second, it felt like I was underwater. The sounds were being filtered around me to a mute. hands of help lifted me back up onto my feet as I still had yet to take in what had just happened. Amber rushed to my aid and her face was blocking the person who was trying to apologize to me. everything seemed to move so slow. blood eased onto my trembling hands below. ouch. As Amber finally moved out of my way, I looked up from the young woman's white heels, that from somewhere I had recognized and as I scanned up her skin-tight white dress, then and only then I realized that it was Jessie. Yes, she was the one who basically just batted her arm and scored me right in the face, and now I was bleeding. She was stood there with a glass of red wine placed in her hands and as soon as she clocked who I was with a terrified look of guilt on her face she rushed over to me.
"Holy shit! you're bleeding!" I thought she was on the edge of crying.
"Yep" was the only word I was able to squeeze out, I had been silent this whole catastrophe. before I knew it her hands were on my hips and I was being escorted out to the ladies bathrooms with Amber tagging behind like a lost dog. The lively crowd had now got back to its mental self and everyone went back to minding their own business. Thankfully.
"Again, I am bloody sorry!" she pleaded again and again before I told her to "shut up, don't be so silly". I was slightly slurring my words not knowing weather it was the pain or my over-tipsiness making me like this. Amber soon disappeared on our tracks to find the toilets when I herd her yell "TINIE TEMPAH". I presume she went in the direction of him.
As we entered the toilets, Jessie tapped the marble table that was resting in the corner of the room. Boy were these toilets fancy. I hopped on and she started to wet some paper towels. It was only then that I had taken a good look at her. She was wearing a beautiful white dress that was long sleeved and hugged her waist which accentuated her curves and stopped above the knee. She looked impeccable. Her hair was gorgeous, It was middle parting, black, shoulder length, straight and shiny. Her eye makeup made the green stand out and ugh....wait a minute, I may be over tipsy and in a lot of pain...but was I crushing on her? what? This was bran new information. I mean, I know she's famous and all but just LOOK AT HER.
She made her way over to me with the wet paper towels and started to dab my nose carefully while I sat there like a small child who had just been pushed over in the playground. "ouch" I winced. "shit sorry, are you okay?" she questioned as she took a look at my battered face. "maybe" I tried to be funny but it didn't come out that way, I was in pain. Though She didn't laugh, just turned away with her head in her hands silently. I think she was trying to stifle a cry. I felt guilty now and I don't even know why.
"Jessie?" I said carefully not wanting to disturb whatever she was doing. She made no noise still. I jumped off the table and shifted over to her. I placed my now clean hand on her shoulder and tried to turn her gently in the direction of me. "Jessie, are you alright?" she just nodded her head, although it didn't seem too convincing, so I grabbed her hands away from her face and placed them down by her sides. her eyes were all teary. "No! don't cry" I spurted out and embraced her in a hug. I just heard her sniff a few times. "I just feel so guilty, look at your face, it's all bruised! ugh! I'm so fucking clumsy!" there was no sense in this girl, I forgive her. "No, no! look it was just an accident, we're all clumsy sometimes" I didn't want her thinking I was heartless so I just tried to calm her as much as possible, although it should be alternate. We pulled away from the hug and she nodded, wiping the tears away from her cheeks. She started to giggle a bit and pointed at the two huge paper towels that were shoved up my nose to stop the bleeding. I laughed back to her and told her "really, don't worry about it". She just kind of stood there looking at me sort of questionably, lord knows what for, as if she was about to ask something but couldn't quite work out how to word it. Just out of nowhere, Amber bolted through the door causing me and Jessie to jolt.
"You will never guess who just took my number!"
