Hey guys! I'm soooo sorry it took me sooo long to update. It's not my style, I know, but I did have writer's block. Hope you enjoy!
Fateful day'Why me?' it had been half an hour after Tala had woken her to talk, and she couldn't get back to sleep. Taking her friend's advice, she got out of bed and made her way to the kitchen.
After taking a look in the mirror, she gasped. She looked like a mess! She had forgotten to take of her eyeliner and mascara the night before, and now it was all over her face! She sighed, and made herself some coffee.
About half an hour later, she heard a knock on her door. Suspecting Tala, she just sighed and slowly made her way over there. Opening the door slowly, Amira peered outside, only to see Lisha and Arty, trying to run away.
"Hey you two! Get back here!" she screamed, making them turn around. They both sighed and tried to laugh it off, but it was no use. Amira just smiled and beckoned them over.
"What are you guys doing here?" she questioned, with a raised brow.
"Uh…uh…" Arty sputtered.
"Well, since it's the day of the wedding, we thought we would come over here and get- What in the world happened to your face?" Lisha gasped, pointing in horror.
"Eyeliner." She sighed. All three girls laughed. "Yeah, come on in." they followed her in, and she closed the door behind her.
-
"Hurry up and get your dress out of the closet woman!" Arty demanded, pointing to the closet in her room. Amira laughed, and Lisha fell anime style.
"All right, hold your horses." She sighed, and opened the door to the closet. She fished around, and finally pulled out the dress.
"I thought it was pretty when we were looking at it in the store, but in the sunlight, that's gorgeous!" Arty gasped, grabbed the dress and running her fingers over it.
Amira had to admit the dress was beautiful. It was a silk like material, and it went a bit past her knees. It was in a blue-greenish tint, which seemed to suit her complexion really well. The dress was strapless, but she also had a white jacket to go with it.
"Put it on." Lisha demanded, pointed to the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Amira stepped out of the bathroom, looking absolutely stunning. She had put her hair in a messy bun, or at least tried to. She had put on her high heels, which matched her dress. She strutted over to where her friends were sitting on her bed.
"Rawr." Arty joked, whistling like the boys do afterwards. Amira blushed and did a little twirl.
"What do you guys think?" she asked, flicking the locks of hair that fell from the bun, to form her face.
"Wonderful I think…" The doorbell rang. Wondering who it was, the teen turned around and marched for the door. After turning the knob, she opened the door to reveal someone unexpected.
"Louisa?" she asked quizzically. She hadn't talked to her since the party, and they weren't on the best of terms. This certainly raised a lot of eyebrows. Louisa looked at her, quite flushed. She seemed to be dressed in her wedding attire. It was a pink strapless dress, with shoes and a purse to match. Her long black locks, which she kept down, swayed and swayed gracefully around her shoulders. Both girls blushed at the sight.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm guessing this isn't Tala's apartment?" Louisa asked, looking into the doorway. By this time, Lisha and Arty had appeared by Amira's side, both wearing questioning looks.
"No, I'm sorry. Tala is in that room, across the hall." Amira pointed cheerfully to the door across from her.
'What does she want with Tala?' she thought, watching Louisa agree and nod.
"Thanks a lot. By the way, you look gorgeous in that dress. I'm sure many of the guys drool over that." Arty rolled her eyes, but Amira just laughed. Louisa thanked them, and turned around, and knocked on Tala's door.
All three girls stayed in the doorway, just to see what would happen. They all watched the door open, revealing a quite attractive Tala. He was wearing his dress pants, but still in a white tank top. Lisha and Arty stared wide-eyed.
Tala caught them staring, and just laughed. Louisa turned around, and turned a beet red. Tala winked at the three girls, and invited the girl in, and slowly closing the door behind them.
"What do you think is going on between them?" Lisha asked the other two.
"Beats me." Both Amira and Arty smiled, going back into her apartment, to get ready for the wedding.
-
2 hours until the ceremony.
"Hurry up Artemis! We have to leave now!" Lisha screamed at her younger sister, trying to get her to hurry up. Lisha and Amira were waiting in the doorway, all ready to get to the car and drive to the wedding. Arty, however, was not as organized. She was bounding around the living room, looking frantically for her other shoe.
"Is this what you are looking for?" Amira giggled, holding up the long lost article of clothing. Arty looked at her, absolutely stunned.
"Yoink! It's mine now!" Lisha giggled, grabbing the shoe, and running down the hall. Her sister growled playfully.
"I'll get you for this!" she picked up her purse, and bounded down the hall after her sister, leaving Amira in the dust. She sighed quietly and locked the door.
-
As they got outside of the building, Arty and Lisha stopped dead in their tracks, and their jaws dropped.
There, in Tala's Honda, was Tala. He wasn't alone though. He was with Louisa.
They were kissing!
"Tala!" Arty screamed, bounding down the sidewalk and jumping into the back seat, surprising Tala with a tight hug from behind. Lisha and Amira soon caught up, all smiles, from ear to ear. Both Tala and Louisa smiled.
"You guys seem pretty close." Lisha smiled mischievously. Louisa blushed, and Tala just stuttered, trying to find the right words.
"Well uh….you know…..she was just helping me…..find the rings?"
"Sure. On her mouth? Is that here they were?" Amira questioned, making the two teens blush like mad. "Don't worry about it. I don't mind. In fact, I find it adorable." She smiled.
"Thanks." Louisa and Tala said in unison, causing them to blush even a deeper shade.
"So." Arty snaked her arms around Tala's neck. "Could we get a ride? We have no access to any others." She smiled sweetly, so he obviously had to give in.
"Only because Amira thought we were adorable." He smiled, looking at the blushing teen beside the car.
"Yeah. I wonder sometimes why you don't have a boyfriend." Lisha smiled, opening the door.
"You know, just haven't found the right guys yet." She kicked herself mentally. Why did she have to go and lie like that? She knew it was far from the truth. She had found the perfect guy, and yet he was getting married today damn it! She sighed, and slid into the car, alongside her friend.
Having the hood of the car up, Amira found the ride quite peaceful. Tala and Louisa were chatting in the front, and Arty and Lisha were bickering in the back. Amira was used to it by now, so she thought she was due for a snooze.
She looked around, yawned, and rested her head on Lisha's shoulder.
About half an hour later, she was awakened by a rough hand on her shoulder. She rubbed her eyes and saw that Tala was leaning over her, looking at her right in the eyes. She yawned once more, and tried to fix her hair. Tala just smiled.
"Rise and shine! Look, we've arrived."
