*Adelaide's POV*
*Saturday morning 6:30am*
I wake up sighing with relief remembering I don't have to be at work till 7:30. I got up and walked into the kitchen and started making breakfast, once I finished I went to go cover up the noticeable bruises before I woke Marissa up.
We sat down eating in silence, the only noise being our small giggles caused by the funny faces Marissa was making. I grabbed our finished plates and rinsed them off before putting them in the dishwasher, then went upstairs and got Marissa dressed then proceeded to go get dressed myself. I walked down the stairs Marissa in one hand and my house keys in the other, I grabbed my bag and Marissa's then walked out the door making my way to work.
I arrived right on time setting down Marissa at her usual spot with her coloring books. I went into the back and put my bag in my locker then tied my apron around my hips making my way out to start doing my rounds at the tables.
I finished my shift at 2:30 and as I was putting my apron back in my locker I thought about tonight and remembered I didn't have anyone to watch Marissa. I pondered for a bit before getting the courage to ask Alicia even though I didn't want to because I felt like she had already done too much for me.
I walked back to her office and quietly knocked on her door hearing a faint "come in" from her. I opened the door and stepped inside shutting it and waited for her to speak.
A-Is there anything I can do for you hun?
Me- Um I was wondering if maybe you wouldn't mind watching Marissa and keeping her overnight because I have an extra waitressing job I'm doing tonight to get a little extra money.
A few seconds after and she still hadn't said anything, I was about to say never mind and apologize for asking but then she spoke up.
A-I will gladly watch her for you.
Me- Are you sure you don't mind?
A-Not at all. She said smiling.
Me- Alright let me go grab her.
I walked out and got Marissa telling her she would be staying with Alicia tonight and that she needed to behave.
M- But why Addy?
Me- Because I need to make some extra money and this job will help me a lot with that.
I grab her bag which thankfully held some of her extra clothes in it and made my way back to Alicia's office then sat Marissa at the extra table with all of her stuff.
Me- Her clothes are in her bag along with all of her other stuff and if anything happens just call me, thank you again for doing this.
A-I will and it's absolutely no problem, she's my favorite little munchkin. She said smiling over at Marissa.
I walked over and crouched down to Marissa's height.
Me- Be good for Alicia, I'll pick you up in the morning, okay?
M-Alright.
Me- I love you baby. I said hugging her to death then placing a kiss on her forehead.
M- Love you too Addy.
I grabbed my stuff and walked out seeing McKenna sitting in her car waiting for me.
M- Get in bitch! She said impatiently.
I laughed and got in her car then she sped of taking us to who knows where. When she parked the car in a plaza I had no idea what we were doing here.
Me- Mack why are we here?
M- We're getting our nails done, my treat. She said slightly smirking.
Me- You're not paying for me McKenna I refuse to let you do this. I argued.
After a twenty minute argument I eventually gave up and just let her do what she pleases and we walked inside and sat down at the nail stations. I chose to get black acrylic nails, plain and simple whereas McKenna got bright pink acrylic nails.
When we got back to McKenna's house it was 5:00 so we each decided to take a shower then start getting ready.
After I showered and my hair dried I waited for Marissa to come back in her room.
M- Alright so what should we do with your hair?
Me- I don't know, you're the "hair expert" here.
M- Don't sass me missy.
She thought for a second.
M- I think we should do big loose curls.
Me- Alright.
So she plugged in the curling wand and started doing my hair, then after she started doing my makeup and wouldn't let me see till she was done. I didn't think I would like the way it looked but once I saw the final product I loved it. Next was the dress and shoes, I was borrowing from Marissa since I didn't have anything and when she handed me the gold glitter strappy platform heels and the black long sleeve sheath dress with a deep plunging neck line I groaned and fussed but she still made me wear it. Once I got it on and saw it fit right in every place I put the shoes on with it.
M- It looks perfect on you and it never fit me right so you're keeping it.
I sighed in agreement not wanting to start another argument until I felt something scratching my thigh under the dress. I lifted the bottom of it up only to see a tag still hanging from the inside.
Me- McKenna what the hell is this! I exclaimed angrily.
She turned around and froze.
M- I don't know what you're talking about. She said looking anywhere else but me.
Me- I can't believe you did this.
I looked at the size of the dress on the tag.
Me- And of course it wouldn't fit you right because it's my size. I said angrier than ever.
She walked over and looked at the tag before quickly pulling it off.
M- Whoops looks like I can't take it back now, you might as well just keep it. She said smirking.
Me- You little shit! Uggghh. I groaned.
M- Trust me, once you see yourself in this dress Addy you're gonna want to keep it.
I sighed making my way over to the full length mirror and when I finally saw myself I wasn't even recognizable, I looked so different, for once I finally felt beautiful.
Me- Oh my god. I gasped.
M- You're welcome. She said smugly.
I huffed and playfully smacked her arm.
After a few more minutes of taking in my appearance McKenna started getting ready, I partially helped her due to the fact I was afraid of messing something up. By the time she had finished it was 7:30 and people would be getting here around 8. After she forced me to take a picture with her we made our way downstairs and to the kitchen. As we sat there she explained to me how things would happen and what to do, we agreed on staying near each other the entire night just in case if anything happens.
Before we knew it the house was packed with people, we walked around with trays full of drinks serving people what they wanted. The only thing that bothered me about this job is that some guys couldn't keep their hands to themselves, I was constantly touched whether they would just slip their arm around my waist or just full on grab my ass. I was on the edge of punching a few of them but controlled myself and got away just in time.
M- Damn Adelaide, you seem to be getting a lot of attention. She smirked.
Me- Shut up, it's not funny. I complained.
M- Oh come on you look hot, who wouldn't want a piece of you.
Me- I'm so gonna kill you for making me wear this.
Our conversation was cut short when a guy walked up to us.
??- Excuse me ladies but could I grab a drink?
I looked over at him and studied his appearance. He was wearing black leather pants, a plain black t-shirt with a gold chain around his neck, a white jacket with the sleeves pushed up, and white supras. He had stunning hazel eyes, pink plump lips, and a perfect smile. He looked familiar but I brushed it off before finally responding.
Me- Uh..um..yeah sure. I stuttered handing him a drink.
??- Thanks. He said.
He didn't leave right away though, he looked at me and studied my face furrowing his eyebrows together.
??- Do I know you? You look oddly familiar.
Me- Not that I know of.
He sat there for another minute before gasping.
??- Wait you're the girl I bumped into the other day.
Me- Yeah I guess, I didn't really see your face but you look familiar.
??- You were in such a rush I never even got your name.
Me- Oh um I'm Adelaide. I said shyly.
??- I'm Austin, Austin Mahone. He said smiling.
His smile made me melt right then and there.
A-Listen I was wondering if maybe I could get your number so we could hang out sometime?
I froze.
Me- I...I have to go. I said.
I quickly rushed off hearing him and McKenna call after me but I kept walking as fast as I could in these damn wedges. I rushed up to McKenna's room and locked the door than sat on her bed.
I can't believe I panicked like that, I just wasn't capable of handling the embarrassment I would've had to face if I had actually told him I don't have a phone, especially the fact that I can't even afford one.
