Beautiful Mistake
Eleven
After the night at the club, the girls, Felicia in particular, haven’t seen the guys all too much. The two girls had been working more because they knew that once university started that they wouldn’t be able to. Well, at least that’s what the both of them thought. Neither of them were expecting for Alexis to be the only one to make it into university, causing Felicia to pick up a second job and spend most of her time working. Both girls, having been working constantly, were finally receiving their huge paychecks. “Alexis, let’s go. I want to go get my paychecks so we can go blow some of this money,” Felicia screamed at her friend from the threshold. “I’m coming, I’m coming. Calm your tits girl,” Alexis screamed back, approaching the younger girl at the opening of their flat. Making their way to their respective places of work, the two friends received their paycheck before being able to deposit the money into their banks and begin a long day of shopping.
Felicia, dragging Alexis into shop after shop, had already spent almost half of her money on clothes, shoes, iPhone cases, CDs, and jewelry. Alexis on the other hand was too busy on her phone for the majority of the time to really pay attention to the different items to buy in each store.
“Hey, Alexis. Can you stop sexting Harry for one second and come zip me up? It’s too hard to reach; plus, I don’t know how I feel about this dress,” Felicia said while opening the dressing room door.
“Oh my god, Felicia. This was totally worth not texting Harry back. You look fucking hot,” Alexis exclaimed after seeing her best friend in the most stunning dress.
“Do you think it’s too fancy or it shows off my fat or makes me look like a slut?” Felicia asked while examining her body from every angle. Felicia had always been very critical of her appearance, and she wasn’t going to stop just because her best friend compliments her.
“Felicia, this will make Louis forget all about Eleanor and Zayn will forget about Perrie. Both of them will be fighting over you once they get a sight of you in this. In fact, let’s test it out,” Alexis spoke, coming up with a plan to get her friend one of the men of her dreams.
“Lex, what are you getting at here?” Felicia questioned with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
“TWITTER!” Alexis screamed while opening the camera on her iPhone. “Say cheese.”
Felicia posed for multiple pictures, some serious, some goofy, and even the necessary tween photo.
Alexis complied the best couple of pictures together in a picstitch before uploading it to Twitter. As Felicia was taking the dress off, her phone went off with multiple Twitter notifications.
@loversoify: My best friend @felicia_carmela is a hottie with a body. Guys, hit her up and give her a reason to wear this. pic.twitter.com/C4Jm20Sx
@Real_Liam_Payne: @loversoify @felicia_carmela stunning babe! Xx
@zaynmalik: @felicia_carmela how about tonight? Dinner? Just the 2 of us aha ;) x
“Don’t you dare reply to that!” Alexis ordered from outside the dressing room, meaning she still received the boys tweets to her phone. “He was an asshole and you deserve better.” Alexis quickly typed up a reply to Zayn’s tweet before Felicia could.
@loversoify: @zaynmalik After what you pulled at the club? I don’t think so, buddy boy! You have to earn a date.
“Alexis, stahp! I can take care of this myself.” Felicia stomped out of the dressing room, fully clothed with her soon-to-be dress in hand.
“Felicia, I’m just looking out for you. I’ve known you long enough to know that you’ll easily forgive him. He’s already on strike one.” Alexis dramatically held up one finger. “Well he still has two more strikes.”
Alexis groaned and rolled her eyes as they exited the shop with Felicia’s newly bought dress. The two headed to the next clothing store in hopes of finding Alexis something to go home with, as she whined the whole time. She was never much of a shopper since her mom would rush her through every store they went to when she was a child. Alexis was a huge online shopper though. Ebay was her weakness and she couldn’t get enough of it. So when Felicia brought up a full day of shopping, Alexis wasn’t too thrilled.
Felicia gasped as she spotted the perfect top for Alexis that would compliment her torso. She darted for it, leaving Alexis by the jewelry as she sipped her frappuccino from Starbucks. As Felicia clawed at the top, pulling it off the rack, another hand reached for the same one causing Felicia to tug harder. Her eyes focused in on the thief that was trying to take the shirt from her grip. It was Louis’ girlfriend, Eleanor.
Eleanor dropped her grip from the shirt as she went in to embrace Felicia in a hug. “Felicia! How are you?” Her tone and excitement was as fake as everyones tan at the Jersey Shore. “Seems we have the same taste in clothing.”
“Ha. Yeah, seems that way. I actually picked this for Alexis.” Felicia gritted her teeth, keeping a strong hold on the top.
“Does she have a hot date with Niall? You know, he can not stop talking about her and how even though she almost killed him, he loved every minute of it and would do it all again.” Eleanor rambled with a close eye on that shirt.
“Niall? No, she’s got this thing with Harry.” Felicia furrowed her eyebrows.
“Oh yeah. They were all over each other at Funky Buddha. This top would be brilliant for my date with Lou tomorrow.”
Felicia instantly cringed at the thought of those two going on a date. As much as she wanted to make gagging sounds, she held back as she spotted Danielle and Alexis making their way over to them.
“Lex, look what I found for you!” Felicia gushed, holding the shirt in front of Alexis’ torso just to rub it in Eleanor’s face. Eleanor strolled over to the clearance rack in hopes of finding a similar one. Felicia forced Alexis into the changing room to try on what she had picked. Sure enough it fit like a glove and became her only purchase of the day.
Eleanor looked up from her beeping phone with a smirk, “We would love to continue this shopping spree but we have lunch plans that we’re going to be late for if we don’t get going.”
Danielle pulled out her phone to check the time and gasped, “You’re right! Liam probably thinks I forgot.” She pulled up Liam’s contact and began to let the phone ring. “Why don’t you two come with us? I’m sure the lads would enjoy that.” Danielle spoke with her mouth away from the speaker. Eleanor quickly became annoyed and shook her head, “I’m sure they have better things to do.”
“We’d love to!” Felicia instantly shot back, sneering.
“It can’t be that hard to find five boys with all that hair.” Danielle laughed at Eleanor as she insisted on giving Louis a call to see where they were.
“Plus one of them looks like a skunk so that makes it easier.” Alexis added with a smirk.
“But a hot skunk.” Felicia raised an eyebrow and Alexis nodded in agreement. All sets of eyes scanned Wahaca before Danielle finally spotted Liam, skipping over to him. Alexis and Felicia followed with Eleanor falling behind.
“I thought you might have forgotten about us.” Liam guided Danielle over to the long bench that ran along one side of the table. Louis furrowed his eyebrows as he glanced up from his phone, “What the hell are you two doing here?”
“It’s nice to see you too, ass.” Felicia kept her gazed towards Louis to avoid Zayn’s stare. Louis jumped up from the bench with enthusiasm and rushed over to Felicia. He held his arms out to her with a smile growing rapidly on her face. She gave in, throwing her body into his as he hugged her tightly.
“Oh yeah, that’s the good stuff,” he announced, causing Felicia to chuckle. As his arms dropped from Felicia, they reached for Alexis before making his way to Eleanor with a loose hug.
Eleanor slid on to the bench at a spot next to Danielle with Louis sitting across from her. Alexis and Felicia made their rounds to say their hello’s to each boy, with a little stiffness between Felicia and Zayn on her part. Louis invited Felicia to the seat next to him so she quickly climbed over the bench causing Zayn to join her. Alexis narrowed her eyes at the skunk boy and plopped down next to him.
A boney elbowed nudged Alexis’ bare arm to receive her attention. As she turned she was brought to the bleached blonde Irish boy who was shaking around the paper menu. “What are you gonna get?” She shrugged in return, picking her menu up off the table, “What’s good here?”
“Are you really asking me that?” He laughed, leaning closer and scanning his finger over her menu, “Chicken taquitos and the British steak burritos. You can’t go wrong with either of those.”
Silence fell over the group as their food arrived and they began to stuff their faces. Niall guzzled down the rest of his pint before looking to the other end of the table, “Seems like there’s some sexual tension between the two you.” He nodded in Felicia and Zayn’s direction with a look of amusement. The group stayed in silence waiting on a response from one of them. Alexis’ eyes widened as she chugged the rest of her Corona.
“You mean the sexual tension between Harry and Alexis since I walked in on them when they were about to do the dirty?” Felicia blabbered, embarrassing her friend. Alexis went to gasp but sucked her beer down the wrong pipe causing her to choke. “I just wanted to watch a movie with them after a rough night but it seemed like they had an unrelated rough night planned.” Niall instantly howled with laughter forcing the others to join in on the laughing fest while Alexis and Harry gazed at each other, red with embarrassment.
“Is it hot in here?” Alexis fanned herself with her hand before taking a huge bite out of her burrito.
“It’s the sexual tension. Harry, you’re not doing your job. Go ravish the woman!” Felicia smacked her hand against the table dramatically. Alexis’ eyes widened once again as she spoke with her mouth full of food, “Shut up before I stab you in your sleep.” Felicia blew her friend a kiss before returning to her salad.
The group finished off their meals with jokes and laughs before the boys had to stroll back over to the studio. Everyone set off on their own after saying their goodbyes, for now.
Felicia, dragging Alexis into shop after shop, had already spent almost half of her money on clothes, shoes, iPhone cases, CDs, and jewelry. Alexis on the other hand was too busy on her phone for the majority of the time to really pay attention to the different items to buy in each store.
