Chapter four: A Friday night party
Tessa sat at Jessamine's vanity mirror. She looked at the bright lights that covered the rim of it. The lights were yellow while the edges that weren't covered in lights, the part that surrounded the mirror, was pink. It reminded Tessa of how a typical princess mirror would look. And then she thought about how Jessamine was in the theater troupe at the school an immediately thought about the show smashed. About how theater people have their own vanity mirrors, or how they're connected sometimes.
But that was besides the point. Tessa stared at herself in the mirror. Jessamine was curling her hair, but she was doing it in loose curls. After that she would put these special type of rollers that kept her hair curled but didn't have it actually curled. Confusing but somehow it made sense and according to Jessamine Tessa would look cute.
After Jessamine was finished with Tessa's hair she applied light makeup- refusing to let Tessa do her own face. Tessa looked, afterward, and saw that Jessamine had applied red lip gloss. But it wasn't flashy but light and didn't show that much. Her eyes were shadowy black mixed with red, not to flashy.
Jessamine then took Tessa's rollers out of her hairs and gently unraveled the curls so that they became looser. After that Jessamine threw a shirt and a pair of jeans at Tessa who reluctantly took them.
She slowly slid both items on and went to go stand in front of the narrow mirror. Tessa was wearing a Chiffon bow front shirt- that stopped just above Tessa's belly button-, and a pair of black high waisted jeans. A party outfit to Tessa would be boyfriend jeans, a printed shirt, ballet flats- if she was feeling like it- and a jean jacket. And not even a cute jacket but instead a vintage 90's one. Therefore, these two pairs of clothing felt foreign to Tessa, especially on her. But she had to admit that she would rather wear this outfit than boyfriend jeans and a 90's jean jacket.
Tessa was so wrapped up in her appearance that she had not even realized that Cecily left and came back with a pair of shoes. She held out a pair of Steve Madden tan high heels.
"Woah, I am not wearing these. I haven't worn heels since graduation. And the heels were have the size of these."
"Look you either want Will or you don't. the choice is yours." Jessamine had a black leather jacket in her hand and was holding it back from Tessa.
Reluctantly Tessa grabbed. She then looked at herself in the long mirror. And she gasped. This was not her. Never had Tessa worn something so...sexy. Or so revealing. Yet here she was, breaking all her rules. For a boy. What was Tessa thinking this days. She looked so much taller and she was already tall. Therefore, she towered over all the girls in the room.
The jeans hugged her legs perfectly, they even complimented her hips. They made her seem curvy, but in a sexy way. And the shirt accentuated her chest, making it seem fuller. And the heels made her calves look fantastic.
"Will is going to most likely be drooling when he sees you." Jessamine said, smiling at her job well done.
Tessa blew out a big breath. "I'm ready," she said, with a hint of doubt in her words.
The party was hosted by the Magnus Bane. He was a well-known man by the students at the university. He was supposed to be a senior but he dropped out of school in his freshman year. Tessa really didn't know what he did, but he got a lot of money- apparently.
In less than thirty minutes they arrived in the on the outskirts of London. It was surrounded by trees and green, fresh cut grass. The party was held in his house. Which happened to be huge and grand. The house looked like an old Victorian mansion. It was all stone with vines covering the side of it. The windows were filled with bright lights and music pulsed through Tessa's bones.
As Sophie, Jessamine, Cecily and Tessa stepped out of the car they saw as people ran past them and up onto to the porch of the grand house. Obviously they were so excited about the party, Tessa had thought. But what she felt was nervousness. But it was quickly pushed down when she saw Will, sitting on a chair on the porch. He was not alone. On his lap sat Amy Mayburn. They were kissing passionately and looked as if they were alone and not at a party.
When suddenly Tessa felt someone's hand on her waist.
"Well don't you look beautiful." It was Gabriel who had spoken in her ear.
She wanted to say thank you, and look him over, but she was focused on Will. Therefore, she nodded her head and grabbed Gabriel's hand. Leading him toward the porch where Will and Amy had come up for air.
After a moments hesitation, Tessa pushed kissed Gabriel's cheek and said,"Thanks for taking me to this party."
Gabriel caught on to what she was going at and grabbed Tessa by the waist again. "Anything for you, babe." And then they walked into the house. Leaving a stunned Will and Amy behind.
Well there's chapter 4 and I have to say that I'm not really happy with it, its short and doesn't make sense really. Also sorry for any grammar mistakes, I'll fix them later. But I plan on ending this story earlier than I thought. Like lots of chapters earlier. I have writers block and am not interested in it any more. Unless, unless, some body has ideas maybe. If you do, and you really want me to extend it, then pm me or review if your a guess. But the good this is I plan on writing a Romeo and Juliet type thing with Will and Tessa so yeah, that should be fun. And also I also do not really know if anybody is really into this story.
Anyway thanks for the reviews and favorites and follows in the last chapter. Because without them I probably would not even have put up this chapter.
Until; next time, maybe
