So...I was going to wait for reviews and such before I posted anymore chapters (I already have 8 written!) but I couldn't wait, and the last one was really short and lame, so here you go! No more until I get at least ONE review :)
Chapter 3
Tom's POV
I walked into my little sister's flat, expecting her and Emma to be running late, as was per usual. To my immediate surprise, they were both ready. Or at least Carrie was. "Hey bumface, wait just a moment. Emma is getting her shoes on." I looked at her for a moment. "You look very nice, sister of mine." She grinned. "You look quite dashing yourself, oh brother of mine!" I laughed. "Thanks. I'm excited and a bit nervous really." She giggled. "Oh, I think it'll be a fairytale night!" I grinned at her. "Why aren't you wearing your mask?" she asked me. I shrugged. "I didn't want to put it on until we got there."
I finally heard the click from Emma's heels coming from down the hall. "Ah, there she is," Carrie said excitedly. My heart started to beat faster, but I tried not to show it. I'd had a crush on Carrie's friend for ages. I looked away, not wanting to see how gorgeous I knew she had to look, for I knew it would make my heart probably stop. "Oh, Tom, you must look at her! She is absolutely stunning!" I forced my head up and immediately regretted it. She was just coming into view, her long dress trailing behind her. If I didn't know her already, I would've never recognized her. She was stunning all right. There didn't seem to be enough words to describe her. The dress looked like it was made for her, and hugged her curvy body in the best ways. "Oh," I breathed before I could catch myself. I cleared my throat many times. "Um, yeah. Um wow. Wow, um, Emma, you look quite nice." I inwardly cringed. Way to go idiot.
Did she blush? I couldn't be sure, as the mask covered most of her face. "Thank you very much, Tom," she said, her voice breathy. It took all I had to stop staring at her. "You look very, um, dashing tonight," she said sweetly.
It was amazing how she could say the same thing my sister said and turn it into something completely wonderful. "Erm, thanks," I said awkwardly. Carrie stood by, looking between the both of us for a moment. "Ok, well that was extremely weird. Time to go!" I let her and Emma walk out before me, unable to look either of them in the eye.
As we walked outside, I remembered my surprise for Carrie and grinned. Before I could say anything, she had discovered it. "Oh, TOM! Thank you!" I laughed, knowing she was going to love it. "No problem sis. I knew your theatrical side would get the better of you." She put her hands on her hips. "Meaning what, exactly?" I laughed again. "Meaning I knew you'd need a bigger car to fit yours and Emma's dresses in!" I said, opening the door of the SUV limo I'd rented.
"Are we picking up the guys?" Carrie asked after we were all in the car. "No, actually, it is just for us. Dan and Doug are riding together, while Harry and Iz are driving separately as well." Carrie clapped her hands. "Oh, yay! I'm so excited, Tom! I think this has to be the best party yet!" I laughed. "We haven't even got there yet, Care, so how could you possibly know that?" She shrugged. "I just have a feeling it's going to be a wonderful night," she said dreamily, looking out of the window as we pulled away from her neighborhood.
