Anything can happen

24) 9.34 AM

 9.34 AM, oops. I rubbed my bleary eyes and moaned, not wanting to get out of bed. But mum wanted to go out at 10 to grab school supplies and general shopping. I jumped out of my cosy bed, not caring about the freezing temperatures. I launched myself into the bathroom and attacked the taps, quickly turning the hot water on. Whilst it was warming up I scampered into my room and pulled out my drawers and wardrobe. I grabbed a black velvet skirt, pumps, skin coloured tights and a thin cotton t-shirt. I chucked the clothing onto my bed, ready for me to change into when I got out of the shower. I then searched my wardrobe for my leather jacket, also chucking that onto the bed. Not forgetting some underwear, I felt happy today so I chose my favourite Victoria's Secret underwear set.  I rushed into the bathroom, once again and ripped my clothes off. I lunged into the shower, the hot water felt incredible on my dry, cold skin. I had the quickest shower that I had ever had in my entire life, I streaked across the hall into my room, hoping no one would pass by. I quickly got dressed and shoved my long hair into a ponytail, the last few strands of hair hung past my back, I loved having long hair. I applied a little makeup, tidied my room a little and checked the time. 9.51. Perfect.

-----------------

The town was perfect, we travelled a little while to a big town in Toronto to splash some cash. Me and my mum used to go on regular shopping trips back in England, she'd buy some work stuff and I'd treat myself to some new clothes. But now living in Canada there weren't many shops that suited my taste, or style. So travelling far out was our only choice. We decided to do this little trip every two months, stock up on necessities and get some fabulous new clothes. But this time I needed new clothes for school, and then notebooks, pens, pencils etc. We made our way into a few shops and I grabbed the cheapest stationary, I wanted to get that out of the way and clothes shop! Later that day we stopped in a coffee shop after getting my mum's new work suits, and I checked my phone. I had a text from Matthew.

Text Message: From: Matthew Knight:

Hey Cass, I hope you're having a good time with your mom, I was wondering, do you want to come to the FreshTV party on new years eve? It's the company we film with, everyone will be there and I want you to come with me. I can hire a glamourous dress for you and everything! Love you xx

I knew I forgot to ask him something yesterday! But I was so glad he wanted me to come, it would be nice meeting his other friends that he films with, like the girls I had seen on tv with him!  I smiled at my phone after texting him back, saying yes of course! My mum questioned why I was smiling. I gushed and asked her if I could go, and of course, she said yes too. I smiled for the rest of the day! On the drive home I rummaged through the stuff we had bought, I purchased a new iPhone case, with a matching iPad one too, it was adorable! A new pair of leather boots, a burberry scarf, a rain mac, a crisp white blouse, a pinstripe blouse and 2 pairs of jeans. It seemed like a lot, but I had been living in Canada for 3 months, and I hadn't bought a thing! Apart from christmas presents and some pizza! We pulled up to the house and I noticed Matthew just walking back inside his home with his dad. It was nice seeing him spend time with him. Matthew went inside, not noticing me. I hauled my dozens of bags out of the car and slammed the door to a close. My mum opened the front door and we dumped the bags inside. As soon as we were home, my fathers eyes popped out of his head, questioning how much we had spent. We laughed, convincing him that the majority was on sale. My mum handed me over my school supplies and other clothes and I took them upstairs. I was putting away my clothes when I heard someone unfamiliar bound up the stairs, it was strange, usually I can tell who is coming up the stairs merely from the sound of their footsteps. I stopped what I was doing to listen more intently, when all of a sudden Matthew comes through the door. He smiled, and jogged over to me, picking me up, lifting my feet off the ground and whirling me around. He kissed me on the cheek, trailing them down nearer to my mouth, when finally our tongues were exploring eachothers mouths once again, whilst our hands wandered over our bodies. We came to a halt after realising my parents could walk in any second.

'What on earth are you doing here?!' I asked him.

'You're chirpy! Well, seeing as you're coming to the party tomorrow, I've brought over a dress that my dad got you, I think it's nice, but why don't you try it on.' He said.

I was astounded, I knew this party was new years eve, but the time had got away so quickly, I couldn't believe it was new years eve tomorrow! I hoped I would like his dress, it would be far too much hassle to get a new one. Matthew kissed my cheek and promised he would be back in a second. I paced around my room, scared about what I was about to see. Matthew finally came back, he was only thirty seconds but it felt like years. He came bearing a very long white dress case, with a hanger on the top. He placed the hanger onto the top of my wardrobe and proceeded to undo the zip. The zip had reached the bottom, fully showing the dress. I was in complete shock, I couldn't move. It was beautiful.

'It's not too much, is it?' He said to me, lifting the dress out of the bag, exposing each and every detail. It was a green dress, with gold-tones embroidery and pink, black and gold stone embellishment on the waistband. It was a floor length gown and it was completely made from silk. I squealed with delight when I brushed my hand lightly over the fabric. The empire waistline would do my body wonders, and even the cutout at the top, with gathered material detal would suit me. It was extravagant, there was even a slit at the nape. I adored it, I stared at it, knowing that it would look nice on me, as silly as it sounded. My hand wandered over the large white price tag, that was covered by a opaque fabric. I knew they had hired it, but I still had a feeling this was outrageously expensive. I slyly turned over the price tag, exposing the highest numbers I had ever read. 1,028 canadian dollars. I dreaded to think how I would feel if he had actually bought this! I dropped the ridiculous tag from my hand and gushed to Matthew.

'Oh Matthew, this is so perfect! How on earth did you and your dad pick this so well! But how much did this cost you?! I feel awful' I looked at him and said.

'My dad said it would look nice with your hair colour, I thought it'd look nice with your beautiful face and body. We came to a decision that this was nice enough! You must try it on for me! It cost well my dad, not me, and only $320. You'll get your hair and makeup done too, I haven't bought shoes but you have enough pairs!' He said to me, through kisses to my neck.

'You've spent too much Matthew, I'm not worth any of this!' I screeched to him, I felt like crying, I wanted Matthew for him, not for his money or fame or anything like that.

'You're so worth it, I want you to look amazing, you would still look beautiful in a bin bag, but I have a nice suit so we will look good together' He told me.

I kissed him back, with tears nearly pricking at my eyes, everything was becoming too much, his fame, his love, his money. I loved him so much, I loved the way he looked out for me and planned things for me, he was magnificent and I couldn't believe how much I loved him, he was my life.
