Mixed Feelings. [dougie poynter]

Chapter 9

Friday came quicker than expected. I mean too quick I haven't slept a wink, I've actually thrown up twice this morning. All because of a damn 'date' as dougie called it.

I ran my finger through my tangled brown hair, I lay back placing my head onto my plump white pillows. I let my eyes rest for a few minutes whilst listening to the birds chirp away when I'm rudely interrupted by cara jumping onto the bed causing it to dip and I rolled into her hip

"Zoe" she drags my name out with a huge grin spread across her face, I open one eye and roll it at her "you have a date with a god tonight why are you lay here asleep" she lightly punches my arm

"I wasn't sleeping I was resting my eyes" I groan sitting up against the cream leather headboard "besides I have 3 hours yet, relax" I laugh, and by laugh I mean 'extremely nervous laughter'

I feel her move and before I know it she's rolled me across the bed, and I drop onto the floor flat on my face

"What the-" before I could finish shouting that sentence she bursts out laughing like hysterically, for a minute I thought she'd actually died because she hadn't taken a breath for like a minute

"come on lazy ass get ready for your super romantical date tonight" she squeals dragging me up by my arm

"Romantical? Did you just create a word?" I question

"No it's... real anyway" she attempts to change the subject, her cheeks flushing

"In your head" I smirk before padding towards my wardrobe and pick the dress off of the handle

It's a cream mid-thigh dress, it's tight and flows out at the bottom. It has a large heart shape cut out on my back, revealing literally the whole of my back so I couldn't wear a bra. (Which is rather risky) Well not a proper one, it's a 'chicken fillet type' bra but not a chicken fillet it's basically a bra without straps or a back

Cara came back in and gasped covering her mouth with her hands

"Oh god do I look bad? Does it make me look fat" my face flushes, thousands of thoughts flash through my brain, causing me to feel faint

"Damn girl you look smoking" I never know how to take compliments so I give her an awkward smile

She applies my make up, and I put my cream heals on

"Honestly you look breathtaking zoe" she grins

"Maybe that's just your asthma" I joke, causing her to give a fake laugh and roll her eyes

"Your attempts to be funny are failing" she walks into the kitchen

"Shut up I'm quite clearly a comedian" I wink

"Are you nervous?" She asks. Of course I am, I have honestly never been so nervous. I have to go, I need to. Dougie seems so genuinely nice, and interested? This is my first ever interaction with a male in a romantic kind of way ever since my previous. It's taken a while to adjust but I think I'm ready. Okay I'm getting ahead of myself

"Not really" I lie, twiddling my thumbs in anticipation

She laughs, literally throws her head back then slaps her knee I swear if she was in public she'd get put in a mental hospital, it's good job I'm used to her "you had a panic attack at 3am whilst violently vomiting and you're not even ill" I roll my eyes again, it's a thing I do a lot around cara

I was about to reply with some witty remark when there was a knock at the door

She gives me a thumbs up and I pas my way over to the door
