Chapter 5

It's the day of the party and school just finished. We came to Emma's house right away.

I guess this is what people do when they go to parties. Gather in a friend's house and get ready.

Huh, seems boring.

I sit on Emma's bed as soon as we reach her room, and take my book out. I love Emma's bed. It's huge and fluffy, also has so many pillows that I just want to stay buried in them and read all day.

I wish I had a bed like her's but I'm not allowed to. Brandon likes the bed I own now. He doesn't give me the permission to change it.

"You guys are dating right?" Alyssa's voice comes from across the room and I lift my head from the book, thinking that the question was directed to me.

I realise I'm wrong when I see her looking at Emma.

I mean, pffft. Why would she ask that to me? Romeo and I? Pffffffff( 300)t, of course not.

"What are you talking about?" Emma plays dumb as she looks at the mirror, giving different shapes to her hair and trying to find a good hairstyle.

"Em, you want to jump him. We all know that, and he wants to jump you. You know what two people that want to jump each other get into?" She looks blankly at Emma while Emma gives her a 'duh' look.

"A bedroom?"

"A relationship."

"Did you just admit that you want to jump him?" I ask and they both turn their heads to me.

"No." Emma blurts out.

"She knows she wants to." Alyssa smirks and starts unpacking some clothes that she bought yesterday after school. Apperantly party people dress fancy, and I don't do fancy, but it's not like I have a choice here.

"Guys come on. Even if I like Tyler, he doesn't like me. It's not like this is going to work out." Emma stops playing with her hair and looks at the stuff Alyssa bought.

"Em, buy yourself some glasses because you can't fûcking see, and Bloss, get your ass up. It's your first party! Don't be so dead." Alyssa pulls me on my feet by my hands and smiles at me excitedly.

"I'm not being 'dead'. I don't even know what to do." I explain myself.

"Well, then." She looks at Emma and they both smirk. "Let's get you dressed. We've got a lover boy to impress!"

"Umm, who-"

"Shut up. Less talking more obeying my commands. Now wear this." Alyssa demands playfully while holding a short, light pink, silk dress with spaghetti straps.

I take it and wear it quickly before staring at the mirror. The dress gives a lot of cleavage at the back and front and ends just above my knees. It doesnt hug my curves so much but still manages to be a really sexy dress.

Wish I was sexy enough to look good in it.

"You look hot as fûck!" I hear Emma's scream.

Yeah right.

"Oh my freaking God why do you have to be straight?" Alyssa checks me out.

"Does it really look good?" I ask, not sure of myself.

"Yes." Alyssa immediately responds.

"Romeo's gonna propose I swear." Emma comments and they both laugh.

"Romeo? Hahahahah." I fake laugh. "Funny joke." Emma gives me a playful glare then takes her make up stuff from the dresser.

"On with the makeup!"

***

After an hour and twenty four minutes later, we are all ready.

Emma and Alyssa are making some last touches on my makeup while I can't wait to get out to get some fresh air.

Yeah, being in the same room for an hour and twenty four - now twenty five -minutes with two crazy girls is not so delightful and is one of the reasons why I need more oxygen.

The other reason is my brother. He will definetly be at the party, and the beating I will get when I return home will be bad. I still don't know why I agreed to go to this party. I can't back away now also. They will have questions, questions I will not be able to answer very honestly.

Though I try to shake off my thoughts and put a smile on my face.

"Ok, now look at the mirror. I did a perfect job!" Emma drags me towards the mirror excitedly, making me giggle.

She steps away and I take a look at myself. Yes, thankfully I still look like Blossom Wills. Just a really upgraded version of it.

My mouth opens slightly. The mascara she put on makes my brown eyes look so much bigger, brighter, and the brownish eyeshadow on my eyelids are so professionally done. I don't have foundation on since I insisted on not letting Emma put that shît on my face. I don't want to hide my freckles anyway... Still, I have a little bit of powder to prevent discoloration. My lips are simple but are looking more plump with the slight lip gloss on them. My brunette hair is untouched, they decided I looked good in my natural waves.

I for sure look more beautiful, but like I don't even have any makeup on.

(this is not Blossom, just to give you an idea about how the makeup turned out to be)

"Aw thank you so much guys. I feel so beautiful." I say with a huge grin on my face.

"No problem babe."

***

It's almost five minutes later when the doorbell rings. I was late to learn that the guys are going to drive us there, so now I have one more thing to add to my 'causes of stress' list.

Alyssa immediately goes down the stairs and I hear the door open as I put stuff in my purse.

"I'm going down Bloss, you coming?" Emma shows up next to me.

I just shake my head and smile. "No, Em. You can go I'll just take my phone and be right there."

"Kay kay." Then she dissapears out of the bedroom door.

I grab my purse and unplug my phone before staring at the mirror once again.

I don't have the most admirable appereance. Only thing I've got are probably my curves. I'm 5'7 and too skinny for my own good. My boring brown eyes lost the shine in them after Brandon and my high cheekbones make me look like a skeleton.

Though I don't realy care. I'm used to my insecurities.

Not wanting to waste more time in front of the mirror, pitying myself, I step out of the bedroom door.

There are voices coming from downstairs and I can feel my heart starting to beat a little faster at the thought of Romeo being there.

"Bloss come on!" Emma yells, thinking that I'm still getting ready.

"I'm coming, calm your tits." I yell back and laughter comes back as a response.

I start walking down the stairs, on my second step something on my phone becomes more intresting. And I'm down the stairs in a snap of a finger while still looking at my phone. (No, I didn't fall.)

Realizing that I'm already down, I lift my head from my phone, smiling, to see the girls smirking at something on my right.

I quickly turn my head to see Romeo looking at me like he wants to eat me. Lust is filled in his eyes and a glint of something different lingers in them also.

My breath gets stuck in my throat at how he looks. He is wearing a black sleeveless t-shirt that shows off his perfectly toned body. Under that he has grey joggers with black Nike shoes.

Yummy.

"You look sexy as fûck!" A voice comes from next to me and I turn to see Jason checking me out. "If you were single I would totally do you Bloss." Jason says playfully.

"I am single." I respond.

"Not for long." He says and winks at Romeo, confusing me.

"You still can't do me though." I add.

Jason just chuckles and leaves the room. Alyssa follows him. When Emma and Tyler's staring contest is over, they follow him too.

I take a step towards the door, planning on going with them but a strong arm pulls me back.

My face meets with Romeo's glorious one and I can't help but take in his scent. He smells amazing, what else can I do?

"You look fascinating."

I stop breathing. His compliment makes me turn crimson, and my body gets heated in a second. He obviously notices my discomfort and his mouth stretches into a smirk.

He knows his affect on me.

"Thank you." I mumble out.

Romeo keeps on staring at me intensly, like he is searching for something in my eyes. His eyes go down to my lips but he instantly recollects himself and clears his throat.

"Come, let's go." With that he holds my hand and we walk out of the door, revealing two trucks waiting for us.

"Bloss you go with Romeo, we'll just use Jason's car." Alyssa tells me and without giving me any time to object, they get into the car and drive off.

That leaves Romeo, I and a hella good looking Mercedes Benz.
