Callie:

We’re finished shopping now and on our way home!

Ryker:

Want us to meet you there?

Kat:

No! I need more girl time

Brad:

You’ve already had Callie for 3 hours!

It's our time to have her now

This isn't fair :(

Nate:

Ignore him. Take your time. We’ll be fine here

Callum:

*picture of Connor playing with a dog*

Kat:

Of course that grumpy fucker gets along with the devil dog from next door

Callie:

We’ll get ready and then meet you guys at Nate’s house <3

Brad:

Please don’t take too long

Kat grabs the bags of clothes from the boot whilst I unlock the front door.

“I didn’t realise how exhausting shopping could be,” I groan, kicking my shoes off to relieve the ache that’s beginning to form.

“Well, you have to go into every shop in case you find something better than any of the previous ones. It’s what shopping’s all about.”

“But I’m so tired,” I whine, hobbling over to the stairs and sitting down. “I can’t even rest because we’re meant to be back at your house by nine, and it’s already seven o’clock!”

“Okay, okay! Stop complaining. Take your bag, go have a shower. I’ll find us some alcohol, and then I’ll join you upstairs and help you get ready. I have big plans to make you look even more stunning than usual. I want to see each of those guys drooling when we see them later.”

She chucks one of the plastic bags towards me and then skips off into the kitchen.

I practically drag myself up the stairs and into my room and try to mentally hype myself up for the night ahead.

I know that I’m likely to have fun tonight and enjoy myself, maybe even be able to finally let my hair down and let loose, but I can’t help but feel a heavy sense of trepidation.

I pull the light blue two-piece from the bag and grab a hanger from my wardrobe before hanging it over the door. The top is long-sleeved with a swooping neckline that’s guaranteed to show a large portion of cleavage yet still be modest. I’m also positive that I can wear a normal bra underneath, so if I feel like I need to, I can bring the flip knife with me.

The trousers are full-length and tight with a little slit at the bottom.
