Chapter 4: Eavesdropping
Samantha's POV
Alice dragged us inside and it looked... amazing. There was a spiral staircase going up to about probably twenty floors and a red carpet leading up the stairs. There were a few pillars that were decorated with roses and wines around it creatively. It was amazing.
There were a few painting on the walls and I noticed a small table in the middle with a basket of food to welcome people. There were a few maids at the side that were bowing to Alice who had just entered and she blushed.
"That is all for now." She muttered and waved them off.
I chuckled, "Who knew you were so popular?"
She blushed and put her coat and bag in the basket. "Well anyway, I'll show you to my room." She gestured to the spiral staircase.
I muttered to Roxy, "Want to bet that it's better than this?"
She shook her head and whispered back, "I know a loss when I see one."
I chuckled and Alice opened the door to her room. Roxy's jaw dropped and my eyes widened with shock. Her bedroom was... big! She had a double bed and had a velvet curtain around it for privacy. She had a large color closet and two large screened windows. She had a small balcony outside and a chair and table to look out.
She had a big makeup desk and a shelf of books. I noticed that there was another door at the side and thought it was another closet. She had a bathroom at the side and the door was open. She had a bathtub, toilet and a sink. Near the sink there were fresh mints.
"What no TV?" Roxy teased.
Alice smirked and picked up a small remote, she clicked a button and I noticed that a painting was being flipped over and there was a TV.
I widened my eyes, "Wow."
Alice smiled and said, "Let's go, I want you two to try on the dresses." She walked over to her closet and opened the door. She walked in and picked up two dresses that were neatly zipped up into a bag.
She looked at the tags and passes me and Roxy on. "Go." She waved me off.
I rolled my eyes, "You never told us were we can go get changed!" I hissed,
She smiled sheepishly, "Oops, never mind, Roxy can go get changed in the bathroom and you can get changed here. I'll be right back, Matt wanted to talk to me when I was in the car, knock on the door opposite this one to tell me you're done."
We nodded and I unzipped the bag, I dropped the bag in shock and held the dress. It was a one shoulder dark blue dress that with a ribbon at the side. Around the ribbon was a variety of sequences carefully scattered. Around the bottom, there was blue velvet fabric around it.
Around the hanger, there was a long pendant and in the shape of a heart and some bracelets and few accessorizes. I changed into the dress and it was down to my thighs. I put on the accessorize and looked at the mirror. I looked... nice.
I knocked on the bathroom and said, "Roxy, I'm going to Alice okay?"
She said, "Alright then, I'll see you in a few."
I nodded and walked over to the door and opened it. I blushed at the thought of someone seeing me like this and when I was about to knock on the door, I heard a bit of a shout and listened to the conversation.
"Alice, you know I care for you but I cannot agree with you on this!" Matt's voice pierced through the door,
I heard a clash and I knew it was a vase being thrown at Matt but missed and hit the wall, "Like you ever care!" Alice hissed, "If you're so sure of yourself, how come I could smell or sense anything?"
"Because you're young and your too inexperienced." Matt stated softly, "We need to do something."
"WHY YOU!" I could hear another vase being thrown again. "IF YOU AS SO MUCH LAY A FINGER ON HER..." She left the threat hanging,
"Alice..." Matt whispered,
I could feel that Alice glared at him, "How can you be so sure?" I could tell she was about to explode.
"Because I could-"
BANG! CRASH! WHACK! BOOM!
I flinched at the noise and heard a noise, "THAT'S BULL CRAP!" She yelled and I could hear her footsteps growing fainter, I heard her whisper something to Matt angrily and walked away.
I gulped and nervously knocked on the door quickly, "Who is it?" Alice asked sweetly,
"M-Me, Sam." I answered nervously, what if she thinks I heard it? I quickly told her, "Do I have to wear this it seems to... flashy?" I quickly said, I shrugged, it was a partly true.
The door flung open and she looked at me annoyed, "Oh course you have to!" She said eagerly, "You know how long it took me?"
I winced and sighed, "Fine."
"Good, now let's see you in that dress." She stepped back, "Well give it a twirl!" She spoke hurriedly, I twirled and she squealed, "You look great! Now let's see Roxy's dress!"
We walked back and I saw Roxy lying on the bed with her dress, "Roxy!" I yelled.
She jumped up and nervously looked at her dress. "H-Hey."
Alice looked up and down and admired her work. "You look great!" She exclaimed.
She was right, she looked hot, she had a peachy color dress with straps on the side of her shoulders with a few chains of necklace dangling down. It had a few sequences on and she had gloves on with a bracelet. The dress led now to the left thigh.
"Wow." I stated amazed. "James won't know what hit him." I smiled.
She widened her eyes, "How much time left till the dance?" She asked frantically,
I checked and said, "Three hours, why?"
"We better get going; I have to be there early to sort everything out." Alice stated quickly and ran to get her makeup kit.
I rolled my eyes and looked at myself in her mirror. "I guess I could put bit mascara, lip gloss on and some blush on." I thought about it and said, "And a bit of foundation."
Alice nodded eagerly and put some on me; she turned to Roxy and quickly curled her hair and went to her makeup. She put a bit of mascara on, eyeliner and lip gloss. She had a bit of blush on and Alice said she was ok.
After an hour, Alice stated, "Alright, I'm going, the limo will be here in an hour so you will be there on time."
"What about you?" I asked quickly,
"I'll be fine, feel free to look around, I already told my mum and dad and there ok with it." She opened the door.
"But-"
Door closed and I was not answered. I sighed and turned to Roxy, "What should we do now?" I asked.
Roxy shrugged, "Who knows?"
I sighed, "Well I'm thirsty, I'm going to go and get a drink." I walked over towards the door and opened it, "I'll be back in a minute." I closed the door.
As soon as I stepped out, I wondered where to go to get a drink... I sighed, I really needed a drink. I sighed and walked towards the door. Here goes nothing... I knocked on the door and he said, "Come in."
I walked in nervously and asked, "Hey Matt, I really need a drink, do you know where the kitchen is?"
He nodded, "Downstairs to your right." I nodded and was about to leave until he said; "Wait a second."
I paused and bit my lip, what if he figured out I eavesdropped on their conversation? I turned and asked confused, "Yeah?"
"How do you now Alice?" He asked curiously,
I frowned, "Were good friends, we knew each other since we were little, why?" I tilted my head curious,
He shook his head, "Never mind." I shrugged and left, strange...
What's up with that conversation? Review!
