One Smile Please

Chapter Thirty:

"You have to look good!" Jenny screams whilst pushing me back down into the chair and I almost sob.

"I'm just their photographer Jen, so I don't..." I protest.

"Yes you do! Especially after that almost kiss that night."

"Do you have like cameras in my room or something? How the fuck do you know that?"

"You've been very quiet... Which means somethings been troubling you... But not enough for you to confront me about it. So that means it was an almost. And I know it was almost kiss because we'll you two were locked up in a room. In the dark. What else would you be doing?"

I shake my head at her, "Get your head out of the gutter." Jenny just laughs and starts attacking my face. Then about twenty minutes later my hair. Then my nails. Then my choice of clothes.

"Are you mental!? Shorts in winter?!"

"Look, I'm not going to say anything about that horrid tee shirt or that hella comfy hoodie only because I don't want you to ruin the hair, but girl these got to go on. I mean you got awesome legs."

"I'm quite happy with, you know, not dying of pneumonia."

"I'm not letting you leave this house with a pair of track suit bottoms on."

"But that's the only way I can wear two layers and not die of pneumonia."

"Okay... Jeans?" I glare at Jenny but then nod.

After another two minutes, I'm ready. My makeup was done lightly, thank god. Well the eyeliner was kind of on the bold side, but I liked it. My hair was down and Jenny had put my fringe in a waterfall french braid. And finally I was wearing a shirt that had tumblr scribbled on it, and fluffy, warm hoodie and a pair of tight, black jeans. And a cute necklace to top everything off.

"You look nice." Simon comments whilst coming into the room. He goes and hugs Jenny from behind. It was sweet, but I loved teasing these two.

I make gagging noises and cover my eyes. "My eyes... My poor, innocent eyes!"

"Innocent yeah right, do you not remember that porn stash that Linda found?" Simon asks whilst holding in his laughter. I spin around to glare at him.

"That wasn't mine and you know that. It was that fat kids and to this day Linda thinks I was some perverted, horny kid..." Both Jenny and Simon crack up.

"This is new... I've not heard this before. Care to explain?" Jenny asks us.

"Basically in one of the care homes that we were in, there was this fat perverted, horny guy that was my... Friend. Anyways, he had this stash of porn magazines and I think he thought that Linda had found out so he hid the stash in Charlie's room where Linda found it. Her reaction was the funniest thing ever, oh my god, I can still remember it."

"Can we leave now?" If I had my car I wouldn't be standing here. But Simon was my lift to this godforsaken engagement party.

"Do you have everything?" Jenny shouts after me as I leave the room. I hold up my camera bag.

"This is all I need. And I have my phone."

When we got to the venue... To say it was amazing would be the biggest understatement of the year. It was like a bloody palace. I said bye to Simon and headed inside.

I walked up to the receptionist inside.

"Hey I'm here for Cameron Fraser's Engagement party..."
