Kat POV
'I needed that. Thanks Gabby' We were walking back up the stairs to the mansion.
'No problem. Do you want me to help you get ready?' She asked.
'Yeah. Will you be my backup...in case?' I asked, Gabby smiled
'I'll be by my phone and car keys the whole time. You say the word, and I'll swoop in and save ya' She linked arms with me and took me to her room.
'Um Gabby I love you and everything, but shouldn't I wear my clothes?' I asked, she stopped in front of her wardrobe and turned on me.
'No offence Kitty Kat, buy your style isn't date material. Besides, don't you want to show Jamie what he's been missing?' She teased. I haven't told her about Hale.
'Gab, I'm sorta...kinda...um...with Hale' I mumbled, she exhaled and leant against the wardrobe door.
'Thank fuck! I thought you'd never admit it!' I crossed my arms defensively
'What's that supposed to mean?'
'Come on Kat, you've tried hard to be secretive, but it ain't working. You sleep in his room for christ sake! You could have told us' Her expression softened, she looked hurt.
'I'm sorry, but considering how my first relationship went, I just…'
'Don't want another broken heart?' She finished for me. I nodded
'The heart I have still hasn't healed' I whispered. Gabby didn't hear, she went back to the wardrobe and started selecting some outfits for me.
7pm arrived and I was still with Gabby, we spend the day relaxing in her room. Although she's my cousin, she's the closest person I have to a sister. She was putting the final touches to my makeup when the doorbell rang. I tensed. Gabby tensed as well.
'I'll go' She said and ran out of the room. I heard her fluttering down the stairs 'I'VE GOT IT' She shouted. I chucked and made my way to the door. I walked down the corridor and peered over the stair case. Jamie was standing in a tux with a single rose in his hand, he seemed so casual, so sure of himself, which was a surprise considering Gabby, Simon, Angus, Hamish and Hale were standing in front of him giving him death glares. I stayed up stairs, I wanted to see what he'd do.
'Well…' Jamie started
'Well…' Gabby said putting her hand on her hip.
'Well, it's nice to see you Gabrielle.' He smiled
'Wish I could say the same' she snapped, he put up his hands in mock defense, his smile widened.
'You always had that spirit' He said
'Why you little-' Gabby started to walk towards him, Hale placed his arm on her shoulder, locking her in place.
'Gabby…' He warned, she looked at him and stopped
'I'm sorry, we haven't met. Hale isn't it?' Jamie stepped forward and offered his hand. Hale gladly accepted it and shook it. I took this as my cue to walk down the stairs. Everyone turned their attention to me. The boys were open mouthed in shock, Hale had a blank expression, Jamie and Gabby were smiling from ear to ear. I stood in the middle of the action.
'You look amazing Katie' Jamie said offering me the rose. I accepted and looked at Gabby, she took it from me, threw it to the floor and stomped on it. She smiled at me and I smiled back. She turned to Jamie, an evil tint danced across her eyes.
'Put one finger out of place, and I'll break you' She threatened, he simply nodded.
'Shall we?' He asked to me. I nodded and went to Gabby, she enveloped me in a hug and gave me my coat and phone. I started to walk through the door and got into the passenger side of Jamie's car which he had held open for me. He had a mischievous expression on his face. Jamie got in and started the car, I looked at the house and saw Hale and Gabby standing at the door looking at me. Then Jamie quickly sped off.
