Carter Brothers: Dane (OLD VERSION)

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Emery has that sudden rush of excitement waking up. Back together with Dane and it's never felt so good. Jumping out of bed, she goes down to find her mom already having laid out breakfast. Tory just smiles seeing her daughter bounce around the kitchen like her usual self.

That evening Kate comes around to help Emery get ready. Kate's more than relieved that her two best friends are back together. Truthfully, she feels guilty for her accusations of Dane but after talking to him; he'd surprisingly been nice about it. In fact, his reasoning had been that if he ever were that much of an asshole, he'd want her to act exactly like that. After that things were beginning to get back to normal. Charlotte has completely backed off them and while Kate may not be on speaking terms with her now, she can see that something has definitely changed in the girl. She just hopes that it's something for the better.

As Kate finishes off Emery's make-up, Tory completes her daughter's hairstyle with some finishing spray before exiting to get ready herself.

"So Ems...do you think tonight's the night?" cheekily asks Kate.

"What night?" replies her friend in confusion as she zips up the short black cocktail dress.

It's a beautiful creation that she'd luckily got on sale. With ruffles at the bottom, a black sash under the bust and the top designed like flowers, the middle of each petal glitzy with silver sparkle, she just couldn't pass it up.

"Oh come on! You know, the night..." exasperates Kate but still seeing that confusion written all over Emery's face, she rolls her eyes and specifies, "the one you lose your virginity."

A blush appears on Emery's face as she bites her lip and contemplates the answer.

"Er-well, I-I'm not sure...." she stumbles.

"Do you want to?" grills Kate.

"I-I...I guess so. I mean, yes. I love him and God! He is so hot. But..."

"But?" urges Kate handing her friend ornaments to finish off the outfit.

"But...I've never done it before. What if he thinks it's the wrong time? What if I mess up? What if I don't...you know, get him....excited?"

Kate can't help the splutters of laughter that came out of her mouth as hard as she tries.

"Oh trust me babe, you'll get him 'excited'. Especially looking like this," assures Kate.

"You think?"

"Yep....Oh my gosh! Wait. You should take the lace baby-doll with you!" squeals Kate.

"What? No! No, no."

"Oh come on. Take it, you don't have to use it but at least it's there then."

"But-but-....it won't fit in my purse," retorts Emery.

"Yes it will, look." Kate pulls the two lace pieces out of the bag in Emery's wardrobe and folds it up neatly.

Then placing it in the clutch she clasps the lid and hands it to Emery.

"See? Done," smugly states Kate, causing Emery to groan.
