The Way
That's A NIce Dress
Just as we got into a good rhythm, my phone vibrated, shaking the whole table. We pulled apart reluctantly. It was the reply from Eleanor.
*Hey, r u almost done w/food or whatever? Brush your fingers through his hair when you are done;)*
I whipped my head around looking out the windows to see where she was. There they were all seven of them standing outside watching us. My face turned a deep shade of purple from the embarrassment of them watching us. My head hung low in defeat.
"What is it babe?"
"They're watching us. Eleanor wants to know when we're done."
"I'm full." He stated with one hand on his tummy, the other on the side of my face. I leaned in to eliminate the space between us. I pulled away quickly remembering our friends were watching us. The second I moved Harry's hair back out of his face, Eleanor had run in the room, Dani and Perrie following and then the rest of the guys. I was rushed to the room Harry and I slept in. They wore pretty dresses, their hair was done up and they wore makeup.
"What's going on?" I asked, as the pushed me with a towel in the bathroom.
"You've got to get ready!" Eleanor exclaimed. The were up to something, the question was, what?
"For what?" I stood still, not letting them push me anymore.
"The surprise!" Perrie said loudly this time.
"OI!" We heard Harry down stairs yelling about something.
"Go on you need a shower anyway. We'll wait." Dani pushed me in just a but further before shutting the door.
I gave in, taking everything I had on me off,except my ring, and got into the hot water to clean the smoke off of me from the night before.
When I was finished, I got out to brush my hair and teeth. After wrapping the towel around me I opened the door to see my three best friends ready to prepare me for looked like a special occasion.
"You all know, I'm terrible at surprises." I stated trying with very little hope I could convince them to tell me
"Yes, but we're not even sure what we're getting you ready for." Perrie confessed.
"We were instructed by the lads to put a bit of make up on ya and curl your hair." Danielle handed me some concealer to cover the remaining marks from when I was a teenager and had terrible acne.
Eleanor had already started to blow dry my hair in to big curls. Perrie had started putting foundation on my face. Danielle had a curling iron, making the curls Eleanor was trying to make, even more prominent. Soon, Perrie had moved on, putting more colors on my face.
Before this Harry would have only seen me in this much makeup once, when he took me to an award show. He told me I didn't need to wear a speck of makeup, but I did so that I wouldn't feel out of place.
About twenty minutes later a clock rang through the house letting us know it was a new hour.
"Crap!" Eleanor began rushing to finish my hair as Perrie had put the final touched on my face.
Dani's hands left my body for a minute to get a dress I hadn't known had been here. It was beautiful, kind of reminded me of the dress I had worn that night when we were all at the X-Factor. It was long though, more flowy and more mature. It still had a bow at the waist and it was still strapless. And of course, it was still purple.
"Did you bring your white converse?" Danielle asked her head still inside the closet.
"Yeah, I think I left them by the door." I told her. She ran out of the room and down the stairs, and was back quickly. I was confused, not just about getting dressed up, but because they always begged me to wear heels, high heels, really high heels. "What's going on?"" I asked again.
"I honestly don't know." Then she instructed me to stand up. The dress slide over me and El zipped it. I was pushed in front of the mirror on the back of the bathroom door.
Staring back at me was a girl who you usually never see. I think twice in my life I and or others have seen myself so formal. So, done up. And of course the white converse went incredibly well in such an out of place kind of way. Danielle and Eleanor stood, their jaws dropped.
"You look absolutely flawless." Danielle nearly whispered.
"All thanks to you lot."
"We've got to go!" Perrie yelled dragging me behind her down and outside by where the campfire had been. It looked almost normal, a couple tables were out full of food. There were balloons pointing towards the sky and streamers dangling in front the doors. It looked like a party.
Everyone I loved stood out waiting for me. I watched as Harry was dragged behind Louis around the corner of the house. Harry's eyes were wide, he had been just as surprised and just as fancy as I was.
"SURPRISE!!!!!" Everyone yelled in unison. The girls had been just as surprised as I was, but all the lads had giant grins on their faces, knowing they had done something great. They knew what they had worked hard on had worked. I was drowned in hugs. My mom coming to me first crying like I've never seen her. My dad then trying not to cry as he pulled me close into his arms. I looked over his shoulder and saw Harry being surround just as I was by his own family.
We eventually made eye contact, knowing they were the next people who we both need to hug. I left my circle of family as Harry let go of his sister. We walked away to join each other to be happy for each other. To be together forever. His arms fit around me like puzzle pieces.
"You look so beautiful." He whispered into my hair.
"You're in a bow tie." To anyone else it would have sounded like I was just simply just stating he had been wearing a bow tie. But we both knew I loved it when he wore the bow ties. He had a massive collection because of me. And every time he wore one, I say he'd never looked better. So now it was just sort of implied.
We pulled apart to thank our friends.
"You guys did this?" I asked when Harry and I made it over to them. Louis' face was masked with a guiltful grin.
"Wow, this is really great thanks guys!" Harry pulled each of them into a hug.
"How did you know he was going to do it here?" I asked wondering if they had planned this all in just the morning.
"It's all he would talk about remember?" Zayn answered.
"It was all Louis anyway, we just did what he told us."
"Well, thanks none-the-less." I hugged each of them again.
"Anything for you Lex." Louis said before hugging me tight.
We joined our families who were now talking to each other.
"Let me see it!" Gemma exclaimed making her way over to me. "I'm so happy he's picked you."
Her arms were wrapped tight around me, whispering into my ear. Harry's mum had been talking with mine before she also welcomed me into the family.
"That's a nice dress." I heard from behind me. It sounded familiar, possibly one I hadn't heard in a very long time. Part of me didn't want to turn. Part of me became really angry. Part of me wanted to scream at her and ask to leave. Harry came in front of me. Looking from the person behind to me. The anger and frustration evident in my voice.
"Hello?" Someone else called. Also another voice I hadn't heard in a while. My anger turned into nervousness.
"Who invited you?" Niall yelled from behind me. I finally turn looking at the two new guest.
