Chapter Nineteen
Jamie's POV
"Okay, how do I look?" Asks Maggie, turning to face me.
She is wearing a red mini skirt paired with a red and white crop top. And the outfit is completed with white pumps.
She has left her long blonde hair straight and went light with makeup.
"You look perfect." I tell her.
She gushes, "so do you Jamie!"
I turn to the side, taking a glance in my full length mior.
I decided to wear my black and white skater dress. It hits just above mid-thigh and has a low neckline. With it, I wore a burgundy coloured cardigan. For shoes I wore a pair of lacy black flats, I also kept my makeup minimal but curled my hair.
I've got to say, I'm very happy with how I look.
We take a quick mior selfie before heading down to meet Noah.
He wears dark jeans, a grey hoodie, and a stunned expression on his face.
I walk to him and he pulls me in for a long kiss.
When he pulls away I bite my lip and tilt my head to look at him.
"You look gorgeous babe."
I feel heat climbing up my cheeks as I get used to the new nickname.
"You clean up nicely yourself." I joke at him.
He smirks, turning his gaze to Maggie.
"You look great Maggie. Ryan won't be able to stay away from you."
She giggles, "thanks Noah."
I smile at my boyfriend. I love that he treats everyone the same. He isn't just nice to people he is friends with. He has never even spoke to Maggie, and he is so kind to her. That's one of the things I love about him.
He sees me smiling at him and he gives my lips a small peck, "let's go."
I take his hand as I walk out the door, feeling absolutely giddy.
"Umm, how exactly are we getting there?" Maggie wonders aloud.
"I called a cab." Noah tells her, just as one turns the curb, approaching us.
"Awesome." Maggie replies as the yellow car stops in front of the driveway.
Noah opens the back door for us and we all pile in.
Maggie at the far window, me beside her, and Noah beside me.
"Where to?" The driver asks.
"614 maplewood drive." Noah let's him know.
"Who's party is this?" I ask.
"Dylan Landrey's"
"DYLAN LANDREY?!" Maggie exclaims.
"Oh... The football player?" I ask at the same time.
"Yeah...?" Noah responds.
"Dylan Landrey is the captain of the football team. Do you even realize how hot that guy is. Oh my gosh. I'm going to his house?!" Maggie asks all at once.
"We're all going to his house Mag. Calm down." I say.
"Yeah. But I'm single. What if I see him? What if we talk? What if--"
"He's got a girlfriend. Sorry Maggie."
She sighs, "I know. I just get super weird around hot guys. You know that."
"Yes I do. But you've gotta calm down and just stick with one guy. Focus on Ryan okay? I think he will be good for you."
"Okay." She tells me and smiles.
Not long after that we halt to a stop.
Maggie and I turn to look at the window and face a giant house. It seriously looks like a mansion.
It has white brick and is at least three stories tall. It has two balconies and a large front porch.
The driveway comes in a roundabout and there is a huge fountain placed in the middle of it all.
Maggie and I look stunned, while Noah just pays the driver and gets out of the car casually, like he goes here every day.
He comes around to our side, opening the door for us.
It takes me a moment to take in the view and compose myself.
However, it takes Maggie a while longer as she is still staring in shock.
"Mags, calm down. It is just a house. Let's go." I tell her, pulling her arm slightly.
She blinks once, shakes her head, and smiles, walking along with me.
As we approach the door, the sound of music gets louder and louder, blaring in our ears. The smell of alcohal gets stronger, and the sight of teenagers dancing, and passed out comes into view.
"This is a typical party?" I ask Noah.
"This is a typical party." He confirms, nodding, "you want a drink?"
"Yeah just water please."
"Maggie, you want anything?" He asks her.
"No thanks, I'm good for now."
He nods once, then goes off to the kitchen.
I notice Ryan standing by the window, watching Maggie. I smile to myself and wave to him.
He immediately blushes but makes his way over to us.
"Hey Maggie."
Her cheeks flush, "oh, hi Ryan."
"Have you been here long?"
"No. We just got here. How about you?"
"I got here about ten minutes ago. Super sick party."
"Yeah it is." She agrees, nodding, taking in the scence.
He opens his mouth once, then closes it, and then opens it again, "would you-- um do you want to uh- maybe ... Dance with me?"
She giggles, "I would love to."
You can see that weight has been lifted off his shoulders as he exhales a deep breath of relief and smiles.
Ryan takes her hand and they make their way to the dance floor.
I suddenly feel a hand around my waist, I jump and spin around only to see Noah.
"You liking the party so far?" He whispers into my ear.
"I am. Look" I say, pointing to Maggie and Ryan.
His hands are on her waist and she has her arms on his shoulders, they are both laughing and swaying to the music.
Noah smiles, "I'm happy for them. Ryan has liked Maggie for quite some time."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. It was funny, he would always get mad when I talked about you, but then he would immediately turn the conversation to her."
My eyebrows raise at this, "you talked about me?"
He gets an arrogant smile on his face, "of course I did."
"What would you say?" I ask, pushing for more detail.
"I would talk about how beautiful you were, how nice you were, how nervous I always was to talk about you..."
I smile, "and what do you say now?"
"How lucky I am to finally have you."
"Well then you'll be lucky for a while, because I'm not going anywhere." I say, turning my face so I can kiss him.
"I'm gonna go freshen up a bit, I'll see you in a minute." I tell him and make my way down the hallway.
