Chapter 17

Arianna’s POV:

Surprisingly enough they had my make-up done in no time. It wasn’t much either. Just simply basic make-up. I sighed realising how long it took them to do this. It was now four thirty and Stacy was organising our dresses so we could go to my house now.

I stood by their back door, feeling quite impatient. Across the lake I could see Nate, Kyle and Derek moving about in Nate’s room. I crinkled my nose yelling out to the twins again. They appeared suddenly holding too many bags. I rolled my eyes not, bothering to help them, and moved towards their gate and headed towards my house.

"You seriously aren’t going to help?" Stacy asked and I smirked pretending to a little half skip.

"Nope" I sang.

"We did your make-up"

"You didn’t have to"

"But...oh just help for god’s sake" Tracy demanded and I turned smirking and started walking backwards.

"This is me rebelling" I stated when we reached my house and I held the gate open for them.

"Yeah?" Stacy asked looking at her sister with an evil smile.

"This is us killing" Tracy said with a nod to her sister.

My eyes went wide as they started running after me. I squealed taking off inside and raced for the stairs. I could hear someone calling out our names but I continued running up the stairs with the twins hot on my tail.

"I’ll poison your food" Stacy threatened but I knew we were only joking.

"Yeah and I’ll cut your dress" I said running around the corner, realising it was a dead end. Oh shit!

"Yeah? Do you really want to die?" the screeched in unison and I burst out laughing. They glared at me and Dekan came running around the corner squealing the twin’s names.

"Tracy, Tracy, Stacy, Stacy" he yelled and they smiled turning around kneeling down together. I took the opportunity to sneak past and made a break for it.

"Thanks Dekky" I cooed and laughed as the twins yelled out cheater. I ran down the hallway happily and noticed mum coming up the stairs looking concerned.

"Arianna? What’s wrong? I heard squealing" she said her eyes going wide when she noticed me.

"Oh the twins were just trying to kill me, it’s all cool"

"Yes, someone killing you is cool" she mumbled throwing her arms around me.

"Hey mummy" I greeted squeezing her back.

"Hello Mrs. Bode" the twins greeted behind us and I pulled back smiling. Stacy held Dekan in her hands while Tracy was watching us with a big smile.

"Hello, girls. Are we excited yet?" mum asked and we all nodded eagerly.

"What for mummy?" Dekan asked and we all turned to him.

"Big sissy has a big dance to go to" mum said smiling at him.

"Oh...can I come?" he asked hopeful.

"Oh Dekky you can’t" I said taking him from Stacy.

"Why not?" he pouted looking way too cute.

"It’s for big kids only"

"I’m a b-big kid"

"Not quiet baby" mum said and then I heard footsteps and turned to see dad. I put Dekan down and ran into Dad's arms.

"Hey daddy" I said into his chest and he kissed my forehead squeezing me tighter.

"Hello Arianna, are you ready for the biggest night of your life?" he asked pulling me back so he could see me properly.

"I’ve never been more ready in my life" I said nodding and smiling.

Nate’s POV:

"Dude, you need to stop flipping out" Kyle grumbled glaring at me again. I sighed trying to calm myself but it wasn’t working.

"I’m still flipping out" I said in a whiny tone.

"Dude, anyone would think you’re the virgin. Grow some balls" Derek said rolling his eyes as he entered the kitchen.

"How long now?"

"Three hours"

"Damn it, that’s too long" Kyle cursed standing up as he dived for his phone.

I stood in the kitchen fretting over my worries. Tonight was the night. I couldn’t back out either. I’d promised her and I didn’t want to break that promise.

To prove Derek right, I did feel like a virgin. Although I was far from it. This felt like it was my first time even though it was Arianna’s first time. I wanted to be her one and only. I never wanted to see her with another guy. Better yet I don’t think I could ever bring myself to be with another girl.

I was so far in and if anyone really knew me, they’d say I was insane. In fact I’d rather be insane then a normal person. Doing this and that the exact same way every single time.

"Dude!" Derek said snapping his fingers in my face. I blinked. I don’t think that was the first time he’d said that either.

"What?" I asked looking at him.

"You need to focus on something else"

"Like what? Nothing can make me stop thinking about it"

"Calm your farm, no need to get a hard on" he teased and I glared.

"How about we play COD?" Kyle asked re-entering the kitchen shoving his phone in his pocket.

"Sure but just so we know the only other person who has beaten me at that game is the very person to my stressing out" I stated following them to the couch. They both rolled their eyes starting up a game.

At first I just watched but then I swapped with Kyle and then he watched and then I gave him a game. I beat them each and every game. I was starting to get bored with it when I realised we had less than an hour until we had to go pick up the girls.

"God!" I jumped up at the same time they did.

"Fuck" Kyle said heading up stairs. I nodded in agreement following him to my room. Derek disappeared to.

Being the guys we are we were ready in less than five minutes. I mean how long do you need to spend in front of the mirror getting dressed or doing your hair? How could we let the time go like that?

I came out of the room dressed and noticed Kyle standing there, fully dressed, and texting. I rolled my eyes calling out to Derek.

"Hurry up!" I yelled and Kyle smirked putting his phone away.

"I’m coming"

"Need to know basis" Kyle yelled and snickered. I rolled my eyes.

"The girls are ready now" Kyle informed me as I leaned against the railing overlooking the lounge room downstairs.

"Okay"

"Still nervous?"

"You would be too"

"Nah, Stacy and I have already done it"

"Yeah countless times"

"And I can’t believe you actually split that to her"

"I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to"

"I’m going to kill you again and again"

"Why? It’s not she banned you from having sex with her"

"You reckon?" he asked raising a brow. My eyes widened and my mouth fell open.

"What? She actually banned it"

"She did. For two weeks, I almost went insane. And it’s your entire fault"

"Whoa, damn Stacy is gonna make a great mum"

"Ugh don’t say that. She’ll get the idea in her head"

"She’s nowhere in sight"

"But still, that girl has supersonic hearing"

"Yeah? Well then she would have already known you spill by now"

"Ugh true"

"Proven guilty"

"Hey, you forced me to."

"No we didn’t. I remember the first time you told us. We were sitting on the couch playing COD and then you blurted it out"

"No, no. That’s now how it happened"

"No?"

"No" he said mumbling a curse word as Derek finally came out of the spare room.

"It smells like sex in there" he comments and we roll our eyes at him.

"What? It does, besides I thought you said she was still a virgin?"

"She is" I said hiding my smile as we walked down the stairs.

"Dang it, you’ve already gone down on her haven’t you?" Derek asked, amusement sparkling in his eyes. Kyle smirked.

"You would to" I said eyeing them both and they shrugged but nodded in agreement.

"Right then, a quick shot...or two...and we’ll go get our girls" Derek suggested and we shrugged. Why not? Toast to a great night...

Arianna’s POV:

My dress was flowy and perfect. I stood in the mirror looking at myself. My hair messily put up but looked super stylish. I thanked mum over and over again for it. I was wearing beautiful green earrings matching my dress.

Mum and dad had brought me the earrings as a gift. I told them didn’t have to but they insisted. Besides apparently they were my grandma’s so technically it didn’t cost them anything, right?

I looked at the dress that hugged my body perfectly. It was green, the same as the earrings, and it would have looked like a shirt and a long skirt but it was connected in the middle leaving my sides bare. It was strapless so I had a feeling I’d be pulling it up all night.

I grabbed the heels off the bench and stepped into them. I twirled looking over myself again and smiled. I turned heading for the door and pulled it open. The twins were already dressed and for the first time they weren’t matching. In fact they were going for complete opposite.

Stacy wore a red vibrant dress with beading and her hair was straightened and she wore minimal make-up. Her dress was short but still had the vibe of a formal event.

Tracy wore a blue dress with one strap over her left shoulder and her hair was curled. Her make-up was differently styled to her sister but you could barely see it. Her dress, unlike her sisters, was long like my own.

I looked at my parents who were taking me in and I smiled weakly giving them a twirl so they could see all of my dress.

"You look amazing sweetheart" mum cooed almost crying as she hugged me again. I looked at dad over her shoulder. He looked proud, so proud.

"You look beautiful, Ri" he said and I mouth a thank you.

When mum pulls away the twins are onto me in a second. They twirl me around gasping and cooeeing over the dress just like mum did.

"You look friggin' incredible, girl," Stacy said, looking as though she wanted to burst with joy.

"Touché" Tracy said smiling. They both hugged me again and I smirked.

"You guys look amazing too" I said but they shook their heads biting their lips. If they were dressed normally I don’t think I’d be able to tell the difference between them.

A couple of minutes later Stacy was texting away until my mum took her phone away and we took some photo’s. We took serious ones and then we took not-so-serious ones. Pulling faces and giggling as mum clicked away. I got a picture with the twins, actually lots, and then some with Dekan who didn’t want me to leave. I got a few with mum and then one with dad, because he refused to ruin my photos. I then got one with both my parents.

After some more giggles and funny photo’s the doorbell rang through the house. The twins let out an excited yelp running inside. I slowly followed behind with mum in tow.

"Are you ready?" she asked and I suspected a double meaning. I looked at her to see if I could get what she meant.

"I am" I answered honestly and she smiled pulling me to a stop.

"You trust him right?"

"Of course I do"

"Then just relax and enjoy your night. Don’t worry baby, I lost mine on this night too"

"Need to know basis mum" I whined and she laughed hugging me again. Now I understood what she meant. She was talking about my virginity.

Nate’s POV:

The second the door opened Stacy jumped onto Kyle almost sending him to the ground and Tracy pulled Derek to her. I looked inside and froze on the spot. There she was walking with her mum talking to her about some. She looked amazing.

The green dress showed off her curves and I knew tonight I was a goner. I wouldn’t be able to stop holding her. Just to hold her would be enough for me tonight. She hugged her mum and turned blushing when she saw me. I smiled walking inside and towards her.

"You look gorgeous" I commented and she blushed even more.

"You don’t look so bad yourself" she smirked and I could see the crazy Arianna trying to break through. The crazy Arianna scared me sometimes. In good ways and bad ways.

I pulled the corsage into her view and she gasped. Her mum smiled behind her and I smiled weakly waiting for Arianna to say something.

"It’s beautiful" she says taking it from me. I laughed stepping closer to her and taking it back from her. I slid it onto her hand and she kissed my cheek.

"Thank you" she whispered in my ear and I pulled back smiling wide.

"Right, photo time. Stacy, stop it" her mum called and I saw Stacy pout as she pulled away from Kyle. I smirked and Arianna squeezed my hand. I squeezed it back looking back down at her.

Boy could Arianna’s mum take photos. Who knows how many she took, but there were all kinds. We had a tendency to be doing funny ones when she wanted serious ones. It was fun. Every once in a while I’d sneak a kiss on Arianna’s mouth but then I’d pull away to see her mum with raised brows looking directly at me.

It took all my will not to laugh. Tonight was going to be one hell of a night. I planned to rock Arianna’s world so she’d never go to any other guy in her life. Hopefully one day I’ll officially make her mine for forever.
