You know what you guys? It's crazy to have up to 40 something chapters ( that's what I'm guessing it'll be) since my chapters are so short. Sooo, I've got some good news. I'm going to make my chapters longer but you're going to have to wait a bit longer cause I have the mind of a turtle.
Oops, did that remind you of Liam Payne? I also want to start writing One Direction FF. But, there's no way I can post it online since xFactor isn't a TV show choice … Any ideas?
Cheers, Celine xx
I kiss Logan goodbye before getting out of the car and racing up my front steps. 8:30! That gave me about four hours! Gah, I quickly threw my bag on the couch before climbing the stairs two at a time. I swing my bedroom door open and dive into my closet. What to wear, what to wear? I panicked.
I spent hours and hours looking through what to wear but frankly, nothing I owned was red-carpet worthy.
Then, a knock down stairs that made me groan in frustration. It couldn't be time yet. I just started. I crawled out of my closet and quickly head down the stairs, looking through the window to see who it was. To my surprise, a blonde head of hair stood in my front steps. I cocked my head in confusion as I opened my door.
Katelyn stood waving, a large shopping bag behind her back. I burrowed my eyebrow. She stood there, avoiding my eye contact as I eyed her suspiciously. That girl was up to something.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
"Sure…" I said, stepping aside and swinging the door wider to let her in. My squint my eyes at her as she backs into the house, still trying to attempt to hide the bag from me. "If you're planning on hiding something else under my couch …"
Katelyn laughs, revealing the bag. "Logan told me you'd be going to the kid's choice awards with us and I knew you wouldn't have anything to fit the glamour of Hollywood so - "
"Chee, thanks." I sighed, slumping into the couch.
She laughs. "No, listen." She brings out the bag from behind her. "I - "
"Whoa, where did you get that bag from?" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "I totally did not see that there."
She rolls her eyes, sliding a white box out with the words LUXURY on the front. "Shut up and listen." I eyed the box curiously as she slid it over to me. "I knew you wouldn't know what to wear so I decided to help you out." She winked.
I blinked at her. "Stop buying me stuff." I said, giving her a look.
"Open the box." Katelyn smiles, giggling. I sigh, carefully and slowly taking off the tape. I open the box and gasp. "You like?" She nudges me.
In the box was a glimmering lavender fabric, I stared at it in awe as I rubbed the smooth and silky texture between my fingers. I carefully held it out in front of us so both us us could see. The two pieces of fabric at the top to be held by the shoulder, loops around the center fold before it fell down to reach the knees. The back was loosely tied and the neck line was a straight and narrow V.
"It came with a belt." Katelyn said, before rummaging through the tissue in the bag and pulling out a slightly dark shade of purple belt that had a gemstone in the middle. I winced. Imagine how much all of this cost. Geez Louise.
"Uh, I can't accept this." I said, putting it back into the box and handing it to Katelyn. Katelyn stares at me like I'm crazy. She slides it back and makes a face. I sigh and look at the clock. "I gotta go look for something to wear so -"
"Caitlin, take it, please." Katelyn batted her eyelashes. "You've only got three hours and a half left."
"I'll pull something off." I winced.
"Caitlin. I came over here to get ready with you." She pulls me closer so she can whisper in my ear. "Kendall asked me to go as his date."
I raise a eyebrow, a grin appearing on my face. "Are you serious? That's great." I then frowned. "Wait, you said you're getting ready with me … yet, you brought me a dress, and not one for you?"
"I do, it's in the trunk." She gestures to her car outside. "Go try the dress on." She ushers me into the washroom. "I'll go get my dress and we'll do make-up and hair together."
I blinked. "I didn't say I was going to accept the dress."
"C'mooooon. Why are you being so stubborn? We're friends, right?"
"Best friends." I nodded. "Sisters, even."
"Soooo? Can't a SISTER buy her SISTER a gift once in a while?" Katelyn raises her eyebrows, smiling.
I sighed and slumped my shoulder. "This is the last time I'm accepting anything from you, I swear." Katelyn clapped her hands and grabbed her car keys.
"Go try it on and I'm gonna go grab my dress." She points to the washroom as she closes the door behind her.
I sigh as I walk to the washroom and tugged off my clothes, hopping into the shower. I wash my hair, letting the soap foam up my hair. I quickly hopped out of the bathtub and wrapped a towel around myself and my head before pulling out the dress from its box. I hold it before me before I slip it on. The silk feels smooth against my skin I take a deep breath and stare in the mirror. The dress fits me perfectly - it was tight and loose at the right places. There's a knock on the door, startling me and making me jump. Katelyn's head pops in and her jaw drops open when she sees me.
"It fits better than I thought it would." She cocks her head and gestures for me to spin around so I awkwardly do as told. "Wow, you look great. Now, get out of the washroom so I can change and shower."
I shoot her a look before grabbing my clothes that I changed out of and headed into my room barefoot. I tried drying my hair with my towel, getting it somewhat dry before pulling out the hairdryer. My hair is 99% dry when Katelyn waltz in wearing a sleeveless sky blue dress that curved around her hips. It really brought out her eyes and made her smile brighter.
I smiled as she twirled around in a circle. "Well, what do you think?"
"Beautiful." I said, giving her a thumbs up and turning off the hairdryer. I walked over to my makeup table and curiously picked at the different shades of eye shadow and eye liner. I made a face as I picked up the hair curler and decided to work on makeup later on. Katelyn kept her hair wrapped in a towel and decided to do her makeup first. I made my hair into light and flouncy waves and tied some of my front bangs to the back. Katelyn was finishing up with her face and since I didn't often use makeup except for mascara, I decided to watch her.
"Here, let me do yours." Katelyn smiles as she sets the black eyeliner down and turns to face me.
"Could you?" My eyes lit up. "Nothing too much though, alright?"
"You got it. I don't wear that much makeup anyways so you don't have to worry." She picked up a compact and started working on my eyes. I felt her brush the compound across my eyelids, then apply some eyeliner across the edges. I started to fiddle with the edges of my dress until Katelyn slapped my hand away. "Stop being so nervous."
I obeyed and quickly let my fingers leave the dress. After a few minutes, Katelyn exclaims a quick 'done!' and I open one eye cautiously. I peeked in the mirror and whoever stared back looked … so different. I mean, it was me, but … differently me. Me but different. Me but from another view. Me in makeup. But I looked … not horrible.
"Seriously, Logan is going to love me for this." She giggles before walking over to the hair dryer and drying her hair. "What time is it?" She asks as she eyes my walls, looking for a clock.
"Ah, 6:12." I said, looking at my alarm clock. "We've still got plenty of time."
"If you mean plenty by around two hours, then sure." Katelyn smiles. "C'mon, help me do my hair." I gladly grab a comb and start doing a French braid. "So, you and Logan and are getting pretty serious, huh?"
I blush. "Define serious."
She laughs. "He loves you a lot, Caitlin. I've seen Logan with different kinds of girls and he hasn't fell his hard once."
I chuckle. "Well, I love him too." I quickly tie up her hair and she stands admiring the hairdo in the mirror.
"Oh wow, this looks nice." She feels her hair before both my house phone rings. "Thanks Caitlin."
"What are sisters for?" I winked before I reach over to get it and speak into the receiver. "Hello?"
"Hey, is Katelyn over there?" A familiar voice spoke.
"Yeah, why?"
"No, cause her BBM said she was over at your house so we decided to call …"
"And…?" I said, waiting for Logan to continue.
"Well, we're picking the two of you up to go for some dinner. You know, before the red carpet and everything."
"Dinner at 6:30?" I smirked.
"Sure, why not?" Logan chuckles. "As long as I'm with you - "
"I don't care what we do." I said, finishing him off. "Well, alright. We'll see you then."
"Love you."
"Love you more." I said, before hanging up. I turn to face Katelyn who was painting her finger nails a light pastel color of blue to match her dress. Her toe nails were already done. I looked at hers, then looked at mine which were a dark blue color and my toes were a burgundy kind of color. I made a face and pointed to her toes. "How did you paint them so fast?"
She shrugs. "It's a gift." She grins. "Who was it?"
"Logan. He said they're taking us out to dinner to celebrate the Kids' Choice Awards."
"Dinner at 6:30?"
"That's what I said." I shrugged. "C'mon. Let's pick some heels and wait for them to come." There's a honk outside and Katelyn smirks at me.
"One thing about Logan, he always calls 5 minutes before he reaches your house."
"I found out the hard way." I sighed. I grabbed a pair of black pumps from my closet and threw a pair of classy white heels to Katelyn. "C'mon, don't want to keep them waiting." I smiled as I slipped on the shoes and followed Katelyn down the stairs.
