Chapter 2
Kate applies a very bold shimmery gold eye shadow with blue liner to bring out my eyes and just a light touch of pink on my cheeks and a nude glossy lip. It looks lovely but not too much. She wanted me to wear a red lipstick but I just couldn't. I also took some fresh daisies and put them in my headpiece just to add a nice touch to it.
The servers are here setting up and our apartment is decorated with cobwebs, lights and fog and it looks really cool. Kate set up a large speaker and set up a playlist for her iPod with a mix of creepy songs and some of today's hits. So in between the monster mash, I can hear "live while were young" by One Direction. I personally listen to a myriad of music from snow patrol to Bach. I don't dance but I am quite the good foot tapper in a chair.
By 9:45pm Kate is in the living room looking like a sexy version of Marie Antoinette. She looks beyond amazing and I'm sure she will definitely be the star of her party tonight. "Kate you look incredible" I gush.
"Thanks Ana, So do you. Maybe you'll finally get laid tonight looking all goddess like" she giggles and crinkles her nose at me.
"A girl can dream Kate" I wink and flip my hair.
"I still think you should wear my gold heels with that dress, not those flip flops Ana"
"I like my gold flip flops, they match and they're comfy, besides its freezing out and I won't get to wear them for at least another 6 months" I stick my tongue out and turn on my heel.
By 11pm the party is in full flow there must be around 25 people here, lots of couples dressed in coordinated outfits like Bonnie and Clyde and Fred and Wilma Flintstone, music is pumping and there is a small fountain on counter top with a small waterfall of Apple martini's spilling over. I'm not big on drinking but they are really good so I'll try one.
The apartment is a bit hot and I could use some air, I feel overcrowded and out of place. There is one guy here named Dylan who is annoying the crap out of me. He's really drunk and asked me to dance a few times and he can't take no for an answer. Kate said if he doesn't stop she's going to kick him out. I just need some space maybe I'll call my mom; oh no it's after 2am in Georgia so that's a no. I left my cell in the car in the underground garage. I'll just run down and get it.
"Kate I'll be back in a little while. I left my cell in the car and I need some air"I yell over the music.
She looks drunk already and just gives me a wave and smile and I step into the hallway. I already feel relief and less claustrophobic. I hit the button and it whisks me down to the garage. I open the car and find my cell and head back to the elevator. I go to the 1st floor and step outside for some air. It's pretty chilly out but it feels nice. The apartment was getting a bit stifling for me.
Perhaps when I go back upstairs I'll just go in my bedroom and put in some earplugs and try to get some sleep. I suddenly realize that I have been carrying my apple martini the whole time and decide it's time to head back upstairs. Kate is too drunk to even notice I've left and she knows I'm not a party person so I don't think she's looking for me.
