for different reasons. Amber was
looking forward to another evening with Kyle as I was with Dan. Brit was excited
about her first social event as a singleton and boy was she ready to mingle!!
The dresses were amazing. Amber was wearing a Vintage 1920’s Flapper girl
dress. It was silver with an intricate sequin overlay and a fringe around the
bottom. She wore silver sandals and long gloves and a matching head band that
looked fabulous against her dark curls which she had left loose. The jewellery
that she had bought on our shopping trip looked amazing with her outfit. My
dress was long, black, fitted to the knee with a flowing fringed skirt from the
knee to the floor. It too had an intricate sequin design in gold which included
a gold sequinned integrated belt around the waist. I had a thin gold band head
dress with a black feather attached and I wore my black strappy sandals which I
wasn’t overly fond of but it didn’t matter too much because the skirt was long
enough to cover my feet. Brits gown was fit for a queen. Again in the 1920’s
style it was gold to the knee with a sheer sequinned overlay that went all the
way down to the floor, she had gold shoes and a clasp in her hair that belonged
to her great grandmother. She looked absolutely stunning.
We
got to the hall before anyone arrived, perks of getting ready with the Birthday
girl. I took the opportunity to give Brit her gift. I had bought the shelled
box when I was shopping with Amber and just as I thought she would, Brit adored
it. Amber had bought Brit a gorgeous hand -made bracelet which she put on
immediately. She set our gift bags on the table near the cake as a hint to
others to leave gifts there for later. The hall looked perfect. It must have
taken days, and cost a fortune. And as if on cue Daddy Big Bucks and Rachael
arrived, his gift was the holiday and party so it shocked us all when he handed
Brit a gift box. Rachael mustn’t have gotten the Gatsby theme memo because she
came in the tiniest, tightest silver playsuit which left nothing to the
imagination and I started getting the sickly feeling again. Amber, Brit
and I had discussed their relationship in detail, none of us holding back on
what we really thought even though Brits dad was half of that relationship.
Brit hated it, she was embarrassed by it. Guests started filtering in, all
looking fabulous, especially Dan. I thought he was irresistible in shorts and
polo -shirt, my good god it did things to my insides that I can’t describe
seeing him in a tux. I wanted to take him home and keep him away from the other
girls in here all eying him up. He found me instantly and made his way to my
side only stopping to put his gift on the table.
“Wow,
you look perfect! I can’t wait to unwrap you from that dress later.” He said
bending and kissing my neck.
“I
know exactly how you feel.” I said, looking him up and down.
The
night went off without too many dramas, the odd drink was thrown over the odd
guy who was acting like a dick but apart from that we drank, danced, laughed
and ate from the biggest buffet I had ever seen. It was an awesome party, Brit
looked so happy and I was glad she wasn’t missing Wil. The band announced that
Brit was going to blow out the candles and cut the cake so we all gathered
round. I noticed Rachael had made a beeline for Dan and took the music free
opportunity to drag him to one side to talk. I got caught up in Brits speech,
when I looked round they were gone.
“Ella,
Dan went outside with Rach.” Kyle rubbed my arm. “She had something to tell
him.” He looked around at Amber.
“I’m
sure they won’t be much longer. Do you want a drink?” Amber signalled to Kyle
and he went off to the bar. I gave them a while buy they didn’t come back.
Anxiety started to build. I made my way outside to see if I could find him.
They weren’t in the complex so I took my sandals off and walked along the beach
until I saw them. Rachael was pacing backwards and
looking forward to another evening with Kyle as I was with Dan. Brit was excited
about her first social event as a singleton and boy was she ready to mingle!!
