When you tell the world you're mine

Chapter 15: A new year is about to start

Saturday, December 31st, 2016.

The last day of the year.

This was the first thing Carol thought when she opened her eyes. She was still comfortable in bed, snuggled in the blankets and she yawned a bit. She grabbed her phone and answered Hailey's texts about the venue of Harry's party. She texted her mom and Julia telling them she was alright and enjoying the trip. She got up and stretched a bit before going to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes. The house was still quiet even though it was past 10am. She took her time and applied all the products Hailey made her buy the day before.

She straightened her hair again and went downstairs. She found Gerard and Martha in the kitchen, she greeted them and fixed herself a glass of orange juice. They chatted for a while and Gerard asked her if he could try the dish she did yesterday. She was pleased and proud when both of them liked it. She got a magazine and spent part of her day on the couch. It was raining and she wasn't in the mood to be walking by herself around London again.

She started to get dressed with plenty of time. She applied her make up and made a dark smokey eye with bold red lips that matched her choice of nail polish. She had brought a dress similar to the one she wore at Harry's party at the Intercontinental, but Hailey had seen the one that was on her bed now and made her buy it. Carol put on the dress and couldn't deny it made her feel good with herself. She had lost weight after all the drama with her ex, but she didn't lose her curves. And the dress showed it. It had a big cleavage in the front and thankfully her boobs filled most of it. The bottom part was gold sequinned and short that hugged her hips and her bum. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She was feeling beautiful.

She was putting on her coat and shoes when Harry knocked on her door.

"You ready?" he was wearing dark jeans and a white shirt with a navy blazer. His perfume was strong and fitted him.

"Yes! Let's party!" she grabbed her purse and they left the room.

They waited for Meghan for almost half an hour. Harry was already impatient and Carol simply finished a magazine until the brunette walked down the stairs. He linked his arms with both of them and opened the doors of his range rover to them. It was a quick drive and like she had guessed, they arrived at the back entrance. Bill was joining them this evening and he linked arms with Carol and helped her on the barely lit stairs of the staff entrance.

Carol was surprised to see that it was a Mexican themed night club. She soon discovered it was called Tonteria, and was owned by one of Harry's friends. There were people with painted faces, lots of Mexican skulls, the smell of tequila and sombreros everywhere. Carol liked the vibe. The four of them were the first ones to arrive and were greeted by a tall and blond man. He hugged Harry patting on his back.

"Hey Hazza, nice to have you back here.", he said and behind him a beautiful blond woman greeted Harry by hugging him tightly.

"Hey Guy. Hey Lizzie.", Harry said cheerfully "Hope you guys refilled your bar tonight."

"Of course, man.", Guy answered. "Of course."

Harry soon introduced them. He first introduced Meghan and then Carol. They were taken to where a few tables were spread around. Harry helped Meghan out of her coat and she was wearing a black mini dress underneath it. One employee got Meghan's coat and waited for Carol's. Harry helped his friend and was awestruck when she was fully out of it. Carol was wearing a white and gold dress that not only came with a huge cleavage, but that was short and hugged her toned legs. Harry had never seen her like that. It took him a few seconds to come back to the moment and he delivered her coat to the man waiting.
