Hold Onto Me

• Flames •

It was now Saturday again and I started my two weeks off from uni trying desperately at thinking of more ideas for my final assignment.
The topic is 'black and white' so you have to do six different pieces of art expressing what black and white could represent to you. Simple right?
Yeah I wish it was. Thought I'd try and get some ideas down before the bonfire tonight.

One of the girls in Eiriana's class invited her and told her to bring as many people as she wanted. I think her name was Dixie. Apparently, Dixie and her twin brother throw one every time Uni has a break. In Eiriana's eyes, any excuse to throw a party is a reason to go, so how could I say no? Otis notified us that he's bringing Emmett who will most likely bring his girlfriend. Not that I'm bothered anyway. I hardly know the guy, but I won't deny that he's beautiful, because he is.

Since attempting at brainstorming art ideas wasn't going to plan I decided I needed a coffee. An iced coffee at that. Walking down the stairs I could hear my dad talking on the phone so I tried to be quiet walking into the kitchen. He was sitting at the island one hand on the phone and the other in a bowl of Doritos. I couldn't resist so found my hand sneaking into the bowl and stealing a crisp, resulting in my dad swatting my hand away and laughing. He hung up after ending the conversation with the other person on the phone refilling the bowl.

"That was your Taid" He offered me a crisp by placing the bowl in my direction, he probably noticed that I was eyeing them up again. (Taid is welsh for Grandad)

"Everything okay with him?" I took a seat on one of the stools taking another crisp.

"He's normal, complaining about the weather and that there's nothing on the telly" I laughed, that does sound like Taid.

"Is it okay if I go out tonight?" I stood back up taking ice cubes out of the freezer and placing them into my tumbler.

"Oh it's that party tonight isn't it? That's fine sweetheart, I'm working anyway"

"Are you sure you aren't working to much dad?" I was worried about him. It's my mums birthday in a couple of days and whenever it comes around my dad throws himself into work until the day.

"Don't worry about me, just be safe okay?" He got up also, giving me a kiss on the forehead before leaving the kitchen. Well, that was one way of avoiding the topic.

When I got back to my room I started getting ready for the party. Pinning my hair back whilst I did my makeup I played Red Hot Chilli Peppers through my speakers. Starting with the eyes I filled in my eyebrows then debating what eyeshadow look to do. I went for soft brown shade, applying a white champagne shimmer on my lid finishing it with a dark brown wing. Finishing my base, using plenty of bronzer, blush and highlighter I completed the look by choosing a nude lipstick and lots of lipgloss. I decided to give my hair loose curls making the highlights of my blond hair change with the lighting.

Eiriana and I got a taxi to the beach not even trying to attempt walking in our heels. I don't even know why we both chose heels, we'll have to take them off when we get there anyway unless we want to sink. I was wearing a red lace body suit with only little thin spaghetti straps which is why I was probably feeling the cold. That wouldn't matter when I get alcohol in my system though because I won't feel it. I paired the body suit with a short black skirt. Eiriana looked stunning as per usual. She was wearing a pastel pink bandeau with a deep purple velvet skirt. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with the ends curled.

"Eiriana" someone shouted making us both look in the direction the voice came. A small girl with turquoise hair waved us over.

"Dixie, thank you for inviting us. This is Lottie" she didn't hesitate in giving both of us a hug.

"Come and get yourselves a drink!" She walked us over to a fold up table which sat all types of alcohol. We both grabbed a Smirnoff Ice and followed Dixie to the fire pit.

There were already a fair few people sat around on blankets that were placed on the sand. We joined them sitting near Dixie.

"Who's your friends Dix?" A girl with mousey brown hair spoke up, sporting a friendly smile.

"This is Lottie and Eiriana" Dixie gestured to us one at a time

"Hi I'm Amelia" she gave another warm smile, her glance staying on Eiriana for a little bit longer.

"Carful girls she'll hit on you next" the boy sat next to Amelia let out a yelp when she punched him on the arm, making us all laugh.

"Oh and that's my idiotic brother, Jackson" Dixie laughed throwing an empty paper cup his way.

"I think I'm in love" a whisper came from Eiriana and I knew exactly who she was referring to.

"Talk to her"

"Don't be so fucking stupid" I laughed at her reply which was cut short when I noticed Emmett at the drinks table. He was with Otis and another girl.

"Jealous?" a deep voice made me jump snapping me out of my gaze.

"Um of what? They're my friends" I lied, noticing that it was Jackson who interrupted me from being nosy.

"Oh that's alright then" he laughed, exposing the little eye wrinkles that appeared. They were actually cute. He had light brown curly hair which complemented his pale complexion.

"Why is it?" I drank the last bit of my drink looking over to Eiriana who was speaking to Dixie and Amelia.

Before he could answer Dixie stood up gathering everyone's attention.

"Who's ready for a game of spin the bottle?"

Well, I can tell you right now, I'm certainly not.
