Promposal VI
Because I'm fabulous like Pewdiepie :D""
×××
"Are you even for real?!"
"You're insane!"
"Gosh, Nikki. That was incredible!"
"Puh-lease. Like that would be a turn on, girl."
"He deserves it."
"You go, girl!"
"I mean, how can you do that?"
"Isn't she incredible, Kait?"
"She's all grown up!"
"Would you guys stop it?!" They all look stunned and shocked at my outburst then continued with what they're doing.
We're currently inside the bathroom, changing into our casual clothes. They're already retouching their make-up, and I'm the only one who's not yet changed.
I entered a vacant cubicle and got change. Thinking that we wouldn't be doing anything other than shopping, I decided to wear a maroon sweatshirt, dark-washed jeans, and my white Vans. I got out of the cubicle and reapplied my lip gloss.
We walked to the school parking lot and got in in our respective cars. I will be taking mine, and Kaitlyn and Trish will be riding with me, while Bailey will ride with Phia. We decided to shop in a less crowded place, and because today's a Thursday, we chose the Fashion Square.
"So, uh, any suggestions to where we should go first?" I said, opening a topic. The atmosphere inside the car's too quiet and awkward for my liking and it's slowly killing me from within.
"Oh, we could go to Anne Marie's! My older sister told me once that whenever you're looking for a gown, that boutique is a must-go-for." Trish gushed
"Uh, anywhere I guess? Why not Triangles?" Kaitlyn shrugged
"Did Bailey say anything to you guys at all? What store?" I looked at them through the rear view mirror.
"Nah. But I guess, knowing Bailey, she'll chose Lollipop or Color Me Pastel." Trish said
"I'll ask her then." Kaitlyn piped up and fished out her phone from her bag and typed away.
I reached for the radio and searched an available station. After five stations, I stopped when I recognized the song playing.
I heard Trish giggle and she tapped on my shoulder. "Evanescence, yieee!"
"I know, right?" I turned to her. When the song started, we sang along.
"How can you see into my eyes, like open doors?" I started
"Leading you down into my core, where I become so numb." Trish sang, her hands making gestures and everything, like she's acting.
I tapped my fingers on the wheel to the beat and jiggled my foot to the music as I sing. Then when the chorus rolled in, that's when we break loose like hell.
"Wake me up!"
"Wake me up inside!"
"I can't wake up!"
"Wake me up inside!"
"Save me!"
"Call my name and save me from the dark."
"Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone!"
"Save me!"
"Call my name and save me from the dark!"
"Bring me to life..."
"BRING ME TO LIFE!!!"
We laughed as we both failed to reach the last high note. But then my laughs died down when I noticed Kaitlyn still attached to her phone. So that only means that Trish was the only one who sang the song with me.
She's been weird and too attached to her phone since Monday, but I can't bring myself to ask her about it. I know, I may sound like an insensitive friend, but I'm just doing what I think is what a good best friend should do: give her some space and let her be the one to open and don't force her to.
"Hey, Kait."
She looked up after a few seconds and stared at me. "Hmm?"
"Are you alright? Is that Bailey?" I pouted, pointing my lips to her phone. She looked at it and typed again.
"U-Uh, y-yeah. S-She suggested Forever 21, for t-the accessories."
I decided to question her further but decided against it. Anyways, if she wants to just keep it to herself, I'm fine with it. I don't want to be called nosy.
We met up with Bailey and Phia at an ice cream parlor named Delighte. We were ushered inside by a lady in a pink pastel dress and got ourselves a booth by the window.
A few minutes after, they already arrived, both looking so haggard and their hair sticking out to everywhere.
"Uh, where have you guys been?" I asked as I examine the both of them.
"We saw a puppy on the road so we took it to a police station." Phia said as she wiped the sweat on her forehead.
"The police officer just asked for our names and contact numbers, but then as we're about to exit the building, a kid came running in and he's crying. We asked him why and then we learned that he's the owner of the puppy and he was like, 'Aligato! Aligato!' And Phia was like, 'No problem, dear.'." Bailey continued.
"Uh, Bailey. It's not 'aligato'. It's 'arigato'. A-ri-ga-to. It means thank you in Japanese." Trish corrected
"Sorry then." We all laughed at Bailey as her cheeks flushed scarlet and called a waiter for our orders.
After that quick bite, we then decided to start shopping.
"Well, where to first?" Trish asked
"Patterns and Stuff!" Bailey squeaked
"Okay then. P & S it is."
×××
"Come on, Bailey!"
"Suck up. I still haven't chosen the perfect shoes yet."
Here we are, all slumped back on a beige long couch, our paper bags pooling around our feet.
This is our ELEVENTH store. ELEVENTH. Oh my gosh. Most of us have already bought theirs at our fourth or fifth store, but Bailey here hasn't chosen her shoes yet.
Kaitlyn bought a silver purse and a pair of black velvet pumps. She still is attached to her phone even if we're shopping but I didn't dwell on it too much.
Trish bought silver bangle bracelet and white heels. On the other hand, Phia here bought a jewelry set of emerald. Then, as for me, I bought a pair of 5-inch black pumps.
"Oohh! I already found it!" Bailey squealed. That made all of us, except Bailey, sigh.
She walked up to us with a paper bag in her right hand. "Let's go eat dinner."
"Where?"
"Oh, I heard from Justin that Monic's Cuisine is a great resto." Phia said as we all walk out of the store.
"Then let's try that one out."
×××
"We'll have a supreme feast and five of this garden salad." Phia said to the guy waiter who's listing down our orders.
"And two pitchers of Four Seasons please." Bailey added
"Uh, excuse me." They all looked at me.
"Just make the salad four and add an order of choco mousse cake instead." The waiter nodded and scribbled something on his pad.
"Is that all, ma'am?" He asked. Bailey giggled when the waiter kind of winked at him as he asked the question and she nodded. When the guy left, we all looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"What? It's fun." She defended
"You're such a flirt, Bailey." Kaitlyn said, which Bailey answered with a thank you.
"So, how are things going between you and Jeremy?" Trish asked
Bailey leaned forward and rested her chin on her hands that are on top of the table. "Well, everything's cool. Fine. Great."
"That's it? You're not even ecstatic or happy about it?" Phia curiously asked and leaned forward.
"I'm happy, of course. That's given. It's just that, I-I never really imagined it like this." She said as she gestured to her surroundings.
"What 'like this'? Elaborate, B." I piped in
"I imagined him as a sweet guy. Well yeah, he's sweet. Don't get me wrong. But, I think he's not as sweet as I imagined him to be." She pouted
"Bailey, you can't expect Jeremy to be a sappy guy. He's sweet, but he has limitations. As a friend of his, I totally understand him if he wants to protect his image. He's famous and even if popularity isn't everything for him, he still sets it as one of his top priorities." Kaitlyn said
"Aish, fine. I get it, I get it. Then I'll try to understand him, too." Bailey sighed.
After our dinner, I was the one to head home first. My eyes are so tired and my eyelids already want to close. I can't even keep my eyes open for five seconds now.
When I got home, I rushed to my room and changed to my Batman pajamas. I threw the paper bag on the couch and threw myself to bed. Ahh. Paradise.
I was about to close my eyes when my phone buzzed. I sat up and grumbled a curse before looking at the message.
*unknown number*: Hey, Nikki. Can we talk? :) -Adam
