^Amber^

After I had been interrogated, and congratulated Nina I swooped her up and took to our room. She had a lazy look in her eyes and flopped on my bed. I grabbed my nail polish kit and an empty scrapbook. I pulled out a ruby red color for her toes and a pink pearl color for her hands.

"What are you going to do?" she asked "Your nails and then your hair." she smiled innocently "Is there any way for me to get out of it?" I laughed "Nope you're stuck in here for the night."

She fell back on the bed with a groan and I giggled at the resistance. I got my toe spreaders and my nail file "Ok spread your toes and close your eyes." She did as she was told and laid back. I placed the toe spreaders on her toes and began painting them. Soon enough I was done with the coat. I painted over it with the base coat. They looked beautiful "I'm proud." I squealed and she propped herself on her elbows looking at them "Thanks Amber." She said sincerely.

I jumped up "I forgot the mud mask." She gasped "Hold on." I laughed "It's not really mud silly." She nodded and lay back down. I walked into the hallway and stopped dead in my track Mara and Mick were snogging against the bathroom door. Dread overtook me and I felt like crying and throwing a tantrum.

WWVBD?

Keep your cool Amber don't cry for him. My conscience spoke.

I stomped angrily over to them and pushed them apart "Excuse me." I said coldly walking into the bathroom and taking the mud mask off the shelf. As I walked back out they started to speak

"No, need to explain I hope you all are very happy together." Mara bit her lip and walked away. I looked at Mick and shook my head "I'm not just a dumb blonde, you know. I have eyes!" then I walked in slamming the door behind me. Nina jumped "What happened?" I smiled "Mick, but its fine he has made his feelings clear so let's forget it." She nodded. I grabbed the pearl color and painted them blowing them slightly. I got my fan and pushed the button as the fan blew on her nails. I started to spread the mask over her face and made sure it was perfect as I placed the cucumbers over her eyes.

I feel like a princess." She whispered "No talking Nina you'll ruin it." She sat up holding the cucumbers to her eyes "Can I at least get a snack." I nodded holding her arm and guiding her to the stairs. I looked at everyone to see them fooling around in the living room. I held up my and as I walked past Jerome and Alfie making sure they wouldn't mess up Nina's nails. She took a cucumber off her eyes and Patricia laughed

"Nina what did Amber do to you?" I opened my mouth to speak but Nina squeezed my hand "The nails and the mud mask so far." She smirked "There's a lot more where that came from." I laughed and grabbed Nina's hand walking her into the kitchen. I gave her a piece of pita bread and she chewed on it thoughtfully and I hauled her back to her up to the room.

Fabian stopped us and looked at me weirdly "What'd did you do with Nina?" I rolled my eyes "I'm just making her look extra nice since she's already beautiful for the party we are going to tomorrow." Nina tore the cucumber off her eyes "What?" she gasped. I smiled innocently "Fabian you should clean up too because you're going." I took her hand and hauled her upstairs away from Fabian.

She lay down on the bed "When were you going to tell me?" she whispered "Well tomorrow, it was going to be a surprise all of us got invited to the party of the semester! Aren't you excited?" Nina shook her head "I'm not good with parties." I hugged her "You'll be fine. I promise."

She smiled "Thanks so much Amber. I know you'll always have my back." I looked her dead in the eye

"Victoria Beckham wouldn't let her friends down and neither will I. On that note let's get this washed off your face."

We walked to the bathroom and she wiped it off gently with a wash cloth. I handed her a moisturizer and she rubbed it across her face and walked out of the bathroom. I skipped behind her happily "I'm glad I got all of this down already." She sighed and I nodded "I'm doing mine tomorrow so I'll be glowing. Especially since the school dance is coming up soon." Nina laughed and nudged Amber's shoulder.

Next Morning at Breakfast…..

Good morning!" I said cheerily grabbing a biscuit and sitting in my usual place between Mick and Patricia. I didn't acknowledge him very much but instead turned my head to talk to Patricia but she was making starry eyes at Jerome. Mara shifted uncomfortable as I turned to stare at her "Hi Mara." I whispered "You're actually talking to me?" I nodded "Sure I mean The Beckham's don't hold grudges so why should I. After all they are my role models"

Mick tapped my shoulder "Can we talk?" I nodded "Of course." We got up and walked into the hallway and sat on the steps. Mick looked down "I don't fancy Mara." I looked at him shocked "You don't?" he shook his head "I love you Amber the reason you saw us like that was because she kissed me thinking I liked her because of all the help she'd been giving." I nodded "Well it really doesn't change anything I mean we're still back at square 1 Mick. I don't know if I can trust you. I do love you though."

"I understand." He looked at me "For the record; I'm really sorry." I gave him a half-hearted smile "I forgive you." I hugged him quickly then stood up walking back into the dining room. I smiled a little bit as I sat down because finally we were making real progress.

Nina gave me a look from across the room telling me she knew exactly what was going on between me and Mick. I couldn't say we'd ever be the same but I could say maybe this time we'd be even better.

This was definitely a Victoria Beckham worthy moment in my life.

I can't wait to tell Patricia and Nina!

Wasn't that such an Amber moment lol!
