I make a mental list of things I should do as I take my shower.
1. Have dinner with my siblings.
I miss them.
2. Talk to my mum about the bunch of work I have on this holiday.
I am so not doing Victoria Secret. I can't travel all the way to China!
3. Relationship talk with my girls.
About Jasmine's date, Chloe and Jacob, Nicole and Brandon, Emily and Colton.
4. Have a party.
Definitely! I used to have the coolest parties and I noticed that lately, I've been losing my party girl vibe. I need to be more at ease.
5. Take X more seriously.
Yes, I have to. I'm tired of getting those stupid text messages from him/her. I also want to know who the thirteenth person is.
6. Make this right with Liam and make sure he is not madder at me.
I dry my hair, put on my bathrobe, and go out of the bathroom. "What are you doing here?" I ask Austin, who is lying down on my bed with my phone in his hand.
"Nothing. I just came to check up on you." He says and drops the phone.
"Oh, thanks." I smile at him. "I was just thinking that maybe you, Mae, and I could go somewhere. A dinner maybe." I suggest.
Austin is the softie of the house. He cares about everyone and he's so kind. I know that I'm not that close with my siblings but I love them. They are both so amazing.
"Yeah, that will be great." He says and gets up from the bed. "Tell me when you decide where we're going."
"Ok." I go into my closet and pull out my underwear.
"Are you going somewhere?" Austin calls.
"Yeah, I'm going shopping with Tyler," I call back as I clip my bra.
All the girls are busy and getting ready for today. Tyler was the only person that I could get to go shopping with me. I'm wearing two dresses. A short one and a long Ralph and Russo gown which I had my fitting last week.
Romeo brought short dresses yesterday but I didn't like any of them so I decided to go out and buy a new one today.
"You know, Liam and I went bowling yesterday. He told me you two had a fight." He says.
So he wants to hang out with my brother but not me. Great.
I sigh. "Yes, we did."
"I know it was your fault."
I peek my head out. "No, it wasn't!"
"Whatever, you two should make up already."
I finish getting dressed and go out of the closet, pulling my hair in a ponytail.
"We will. I have to go now." I hug him. "I'll see you at the party," I say.
****
I press the bell to Jacob's suite and patiently wait for some to open the door. I can hear music blasting through the walls.
Are they having a party?
This early?
I press the doorbell again and in a few seconds, Brian opens the door. "Here to join the party?" He smirks at me.
I go in and see a bunch of topless girls dancing. Jacob has two on his lap while Ian has his lips locked with one. On the other side of the room, another girl is flirting with Rob but he doesn't really look interested.
"Is this what you guys do when you're alone?" I scrunch my nose.
"Yeah, sometimes." Brian laughs.
"Where's Tyler?" I ask him.
"He's in Jacob's bedroom." He points at a closed door.
I walk to the door and gently knock on it. "Come in," Colton says.
I go in and see him on the bed, playing FIFA on the tv. Liam is lying down on the couch with his phone in his hands.
"What are you doing here?" Colton asks.
"Hello to you too," I say sarcastically.
Liam doesn't look up from his phone or do anything to acknowledge my presence in the room.
"We're going shopping!" Tyler yells from the bathroom.
"Did you guys sleep here?" I ask Colton and sit on the bed.
"Yes, we all did but not in this room. Liam, Rob, and I booked separate rooms while the other four crashed here with their hoes." He replies and I nod my head.
Good. I can't imagine Liam sleeping here with all those girls in the living room.
"Hey," I say to him.
"Hey." He says back but still doesn't look up from his phone.
He must be really mad at me.
'He will get over it.' Colton mouths and I smile at him. "I hope so," I whisper.
"Let's go." Tyler comes out of the bathroom and says.
"Okay. Bye Colton." I hug him and follow Tyler out the door.
****
"Do you like this?" I twirl for Tyler.
He roams his eyes over my dress and put his hands on his chin. "Yes but I like the first one more."
"Okay, I'll just buy both," I say and go back to the changing room.
I come out and see him patiently waiting for me. "Let's go, Ty."
As we reach the counter, he offers to pay.
"No, it's fine, Tyler. Thank though." I smile at him.
"I want to, Amelia." He insists.
I tilt my head to look at him clearly. He's not going to back down.
"Fine, thank you." I smile.
He pays and we leave the store.
"Where else do you want to go?"
I look down at my wristwatch. "That's it, I'm done. I need to go home and do my hair and makeup."
On our way back to the hotel, we stop at Freddy's, Tyler's favorite diner to buy him a burger and milkshake as I promised. I tell him about how Liam ignored me this morning.
"Dude, Liam can be fucking childish when it comes to you." He chuckles. "But he loves you, Milly, and what you did to him was unfair."
"I know." I grip on the steering wheel.
Flashback
Today I'm having a girls' day for the fourth time this week. Emily, Nicole, and I and sometimes Jasmine and Chloe have been spending great times together.
My phone starts ringing and I check to see that it's Liam.
"Hey, babe." I smile as I answer the phone.
"Hey, how was your night?" He asks.
"It was good. What's wrong? You sound tired."
"I just miss you, sweetheart."
"I miss you more." I blush.
"Do you want us to do something today? I can come over and we could go somewhere."
"I'm going for a spa with Nicole, Emily, and Jas."
"Isn't that what you have been doing all week?" His tone changes, like he's upset or something.
"What? No!"
"Fine, whatever." He hangs up.
What's wrong with him? I thought he was okay with me hanging out with the girls. Why did he seem mad?
I sigh and take out my car keys. I find myself in front of the Blacks' mansion.
I enter the house and I ask the maids where Liam is.
"He's in his game room with his friends."
I go to the game room and I see Liam and the guys. "Amelia!" Ian exclaims and comes over to hug me.
"Kit Kat." Rob winks at me.
Sometimes, I honestly think that he's bipolar.
Brian and Colton are too caught up in the game their playing to notice me.
"Hey." I reach Liam who is rolling some kind of wire in his hands.
"Hey." He drops the wire and looks up at me.
I go closer to him and wrap my hands around his neck. "What was that all about? Over the phone."
He sighs. "Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who cares in this relationship, Amelia."
I widen What? How could he say that? I feel a tightness in my chest because of how hurtful his words feel.
"That's not true, Liam."
"Yes, it is! We're on university break, we're supposed to be spending time together but you're always with girls." He says more harshly.
I drop my hands from his neck and fold them across my chest. "I told you I would be spending time with them because I miss them."
"Let me make this clear, I'm not some guy that you will just come to when you fight with your friends!" He yells.
"Chill, dude." Ian glares at me.
"I care about you, Liam and I love spending time with you. I wish I could all the time!" I say softly.
"No, Amelia! I feel like I'm the only person that cares in this relationship, the only person that makes effort and wants to make you happy." He says as his veins are throbbing in his neck.
"Are you saying that I don't make you happy?" My voice breaks.
"No." He says.
"I will cancel the spa and stay here, Liam."
"No, just go." His jaw clenched.
I'm suddenly taken back. "What?"
"I said go, Amelia."
"Fine!" I turn around and leave.
End of Flashback
We arrive back at the hotel and I park my car.
"Bye, Amelia. I'll see you at the party." He kisses my cheek and goes out of the car.
The end of the year lunch party is the most prestigious event that happens here in Bluefall. Many people are invited. It's the party that we actually reply to reporters and pose for our pictures to be taken.
My phone starts ringing and I answer it in my car. "Hey, Lilly," I say tiredly.
"Amelia! Where are you?! Your makeup artist and hairstylist are here." She exclaims.
"I'm on my way home."
"Could you please hurry up? Your mum is freaking out from Singapore!" She exclaims. I can hear the exhaustion in her voice.
"I'm almost there," I tell her and end the call.
As I enter the gates of my house, I see two identical limos parked on the porch. I park my car in the garage and get my shopping bags out.
"Hi, James." I smile at my chauffeur who just got out of one of the limos.
James has been my family's chauffeur since I was a little girl. He's so loyal and one of my favorite people that work here.
"Ms. Amelia, this is your limo for the party." He says pointing at the one he got out of. "And this is the young master's." He points to the other one.
"Very well, James." I nod my head then I see Lilly rushing out of the front door with a folder and a pen in her hand. Her glasses are on her nose while her hair is messy as hell.
"Thank God you're here!" She exclaims and drags me into the house. "So...." She clears her throat and I raise my eyebrow. "Aren't you going together with Liam?" She asks.
"No," I reply simply.
"But your mother..." She sighs.
"What?" I tilt my head.
"A lot of reporters are going to be there. They will ask questions when they don't see the two of you together." She worries.
"I don't really care," I say in a bored tone.
She sighs again. "Just go to your hair and makeup. I'll sort it out." She says.
"Okay. Can you please call the maids to take this to my room?" I say as I walk to my dressing room.
****
My hair and makeup are done. Now is time for me to wear my dress. Lilly hands me the dress and I gently change into it. I look at myself in the mirror and smile. I love the hair and makeup, the hair, the dress. I love everything.
Amelia's dress.
"You look beautiful!" Lilly squeals.
"Thanks, Lilly." I give her a smile.
"Now for the final touch, your mum wants you to wear this." Mary comes in with a jewelry box.
My eyes widen as I see what's in the box. "It's beautiful," I whisper.
It's a beautiful diamond necklace and earrings. I turn around and Mary puts it on me.
The necklace.
"You look like a princess." She hugs me.
"Thanks, Mary." I hug her back.
"Where's my phone?" I ask Lilly after breaking from the hug with Mary.
"Here." She hands it to me while I wear my Ralph and Russo heels.
Amelia's shoes.
I open my Snapchat group to chat with the girls and read the messages.
Emily💘: Can't decide... Valentinos or Balenciaga??!!!
Jas💜: Shoes?
Emily💘: Yess!!!
"Let's go," Lilly says.
I follow behind and keep reading my messages.
Nicole💕: Guys! I'm going to the party with Brandon!!!!!
My eyes instantly widen.
Me: Omg! You're kidding!!!
Bob, my 'bodyguard' opens the Limo door, and Lilly and I go in.
"Amelia, I want to tell you that your mum really wants you to be the talk of this party," Lilly says.
"Yeah, it's quite obvious, Lilly," I say not raising my head from the phone.
We arrive at the party and I see reporters and paparazzi everywhere. People are smiling and posing while some are answering questions.
"Are you ready?" Lilly asks."
"Yeah." I nod my head.
"Okay, good luck." She hugs me."
"Thanks, Lilly for today." I hug her back.
JJ, my makeup artist fixes my makeup a little and I thank her.
Bob opens the door and I let out a deep breath.
I really wanted to come to this party with Liam. I can't believe I'm going single.
I go out of the car and I hear a familiar voice.
"Hello, sweetheart."
No, it is not Liam. It's Diana Black, his mum.
