So for the past month, Oliver, Miranda, James and I have been hanging out quite lately. I also found out that Oliver is a successful business man and I am extremely happy for him.
But there were a few times where it was just Oliver and I who have been spending time with each other alone. Luckily our partners didn't mind because they knew we were just friends. It's made me realise how much I've missed Oliver, my family, my other friends and of course Malibu.
As I was working on some more ideas of a design for a specific type of clothing, I was interrupted by Julie's secretary.
"The boss would like to see you right now."
I nodded my head and made my way to the boss's office. I knocked on the door.
"Come in."
I opened the door and sat down opposite my boss.
"Lilly, how have you been?"
"Great boss."
"Well, I just wanted to let you know about the new fashion ideas you have given me a few days ago."
I stood there silently, starting to tense up.
"And I wanted to tell you that it was a huge success. So I'm thinking of throwing a huge party to acknowledge your achievement." she said with a smile.
"Wow! Thank you so much, when will the party be?"
"Actually, it's going to be tonight."
"Oh, then I guess I better get going. May I invite a couple of people to the party?"
"Depends how much a couple is."
"Only three extra people."
"Of course, I'll see you later then."
I ran out of the office and got into my car. I quickly dialled James number.
"Hello?"
"Hey James, it's me, there's gonna be a business party at my workplace today, you think you can come?"
"Of course."
"Great, I'll ask Oliver and Miranda as well."
I quickly hung up and dialled Oliver's number.
"Hello?"
'Hey Oliver, it's me Lilly, are you busy tonight?"
"No, I'm on vacation remember?"
"Well I have a business party at my workplace, you think Miranda and you could make it?"
"Yeah sure, why not."
We hung up and I drove off to my place. As I was about to make my way upstairs, I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and became puzzled when I saw Miranda standing there.
'Uhhh, hey Miranda."
"Hey, I know this may be confusing but I really need your help right now!"
'Yeah sure, what's going on?"
"Well seeing as how we're going to this party altogether I want to look really beautiful tonight for Oliver."
"Uh huh, and what does that have to do with me?"
"Well, I don't really have any appropriate clothes and you have an awesome fashion style, so I thought maybe you could help me?"
I started smiling.
"You don't mind do you?" she asked as I stayed silent for a moment.
"no no, of course not. Any girlfriend of Oliver is a friend of mine! Now come in and let's get you dressed up!"
"Oh, almost forgot, Oliver told me he was going to James house so they can get ready and they'll both pick us up for the party."
"Alright cool, but we better hurry if we want to look fabulous."
I grabbed her hand and lead her upstairs. I opened my room and she gaped as she saw my wardrobe. But as I opened it, she stared in shocked.
"This....is......your......wardrobe?" she asked amazed.
"Yepp."
Miranda and I dug deep into my huge wardrobe. There were still so many things I hadn't worn before. I kept searching and searching for the right dress for me. Miranda was holding like five dresses in her hand with sparkles in her eyes. She couldn't decide what to choose, so we finally decided on a black strap-less dress that was knee-length. I sent Miranda to the bathroom to change while I continued to look for a dress for myself.
Miranda finally came out of the bathroom and had a huge grin on her face. Caught off guard, she walked up to me and gave me a huge hug.
"Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me!"
"Why is it so important for you to look beautiful for Oliver?"
"Well he's best friend is so pretty, so I wouldn't want him falling in love with you now do I?" she said laughing.
"We wouldn't want that." I laughed quietly.
Miranda helped me look for a dress until I found something that caught my eye. I found a dark purple-coloured dress, with the straps going around my neck. The dress was a bit below my knees. I wore matching strapped high heels and left my hair out. I decided to curl Miranda's hair and she looked AMAZING!
I could tell she was excited because she kept jumping up and down as she checked herself out in the mirror. I gave her some shoes that matched her outfit and let her choose a purse to take. As I looked in the mirror, my hair looked quite plain. Miranda agreed as well. So she attached a black-coloured flower clip to my hair. It looked cute. So Miranda and I were finally ready.
James and I drove our way to Lilly's house. I still hadn't seen Lilly's house before, so I was looking forward to that. James finally stopped and I got out of the car.
"Is this Lilly's house? I said, pointing at a huge 2 storey house.
"Yeah." He simply replied.
James just opened the door and it was surprisingly opened.
'Does she always leave her door opened?"
"Nah, she knows she was gonna take long so she left it opened for us to wait inside."
Miranda and I looked at the mirror one last time and I grabbed Miranda's hand and started walking downstairs. Miranda was walking way too slow. So I stopped.
"You look beautiful." I whispered to her.
She gave me a small smile and I grabbed her wrist and started downstairs.
