24 Hours with You

Chapter 19

After getting in James' car at the airport I called Josie to see what she was up to for the rest of the day. She was cleaning when I called and was grateful for a reason to stop. We agreed to have a girls night in and the plan was to stay at her house for the night.

I went straight home after getting off the phone with her, to pack my bag. I snagged a pair of pyjamas and a change for the next day from my dresser before running in to the bathroom to grab my toiletries. Once I got all the important stuff, I grabbed a couple movies that I knew we'd both love, like The Blind Side and Mean Girls. I also took my curling iron, some nail polish, and what makeup I had, which wasn't very much, in case we wanted to do that for fun.

I never really had many girls nights, and none recently so I wasn't really sure what we'd do. Although me an Nicki were close for years we never had many sleepovers. Whenever she slept at my place it was usually because she would sneak out with guys when we were younger then come to my place after so her parents wouldn't find out. Or it was because we went out drinking and thought it was best to stick together which rarely happened.

I was at Josie's apartment knocking on her door a little while later and I was greeted with a big smile when she opened up. She was already in her pyjamas even though it was only 4:00, I guess she was really in the spirit or something, it was cute.

"We have so much to talk about, but first, go get your pyjamas on!" She said enthusiastically, just after I came inside.

"Okay I'll be right back." I said and made my way down the hallway to my left to find the bathroom.

"You can put your bag in mine and Brandon's room, it's on the left just past where you are." She said as I came out changed.

"Alright thanks." I said and quickly plopped my bag on the floor of their room then returned to the living room area where she was sitting on the couch.

"I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. How did your date with James go last night?" She asked excitedly.

"Oh that.." I said, thinking about the events of the night that we were supposed to go on our first date.

"Wait what happened?" She asked, a concerned look washing over her face.

"James was a bit late and in the time he wasn't there, Michael my ex-boyfriend, showed up." I said easing into it, hoping I could talk through it all again without becoming a hot mess.

"Michael... as in the ex that cheated on you and who is also basically the reason you met James?" She asked carefully, so she wouldn't hurt my feelings or make me any more upset.

"Yeah that's him. Anyway, he showed up saying he wanted to apologize so I let him in. He was drunk off his ass and I realized it a little too late. Next thing I knew he was saying how he should've asked me to join him and my best friend and his hand was sliding up my thigh. Luckily, James came just before anything too much happened and he pulled him off me and pushed him to the floor. Then gave him a punch in the face for good measure when he said something about me begging for him later." I let it all out for what I hoped would be the last time. Sharing that was difficult for me to do but I knew I could put my trust in Josie, she was truly a great friend and an even better person.

"Oh my god, I can't believe that happened to you. Are you okay?" She said and wrapped her arms around my shoulders in a tight hug, reassuring me that she was there for me. She let go after awhile but kept me close as I finally answered her question.

"I think I will be, but right now it's still so fresh, it's hard to think about but saying it out loud definitely helped a lot so thanks for listening." I said honestly.

"You know I'll always be here to listen any time you need it. Just stop by and I'll be all ears." She said with a smile before giving me another hug. Just after, she got up from her spot on the couch and told me to follow her so that's what I did.

We went to the kitchen and started making some chicken penne pasta with garlic bread. It didn't take us too long with both of us working on supper at the same time and when it was done I couldn't wait to eat it. It looked delicious and boy was it ever. It was probably the best thing I'd ever helped make, Josie did most of the work but that's a minor detail.

"This is amazing." I commented between bites.

"I know! It's honestly never tasted this good before."

"Must be my touch." I joked,

"Must be." She laughed. We finished up eating not long after and we put the dishes in the dishwasher then we made our way to her and Brandon's room. She pulled out her stock pile of makeup and I got out my curling iron along with the small portion of makeup that I owned.

"Alright let's do this!" She said excitedly.

We decided that she would do our makeup and that I would do our hair, then we'd get dressed up in her clothes and take some cute pictures together. We started with faces and she did mine first. As she was doing weird things to it we chatted some more and of course she brought up James again.

"So I just thought of this, what did you and James do after everything that happened?" She asked while she tried as hard as she could to be gentle while plucking my eyebrows.

"Ow!" I let out a small scream of pain.

"Shh it's all for beauty, remember that." She joked.

"I'd rather have bushy eyebrows than deal with this torture." I commented seriously and gave her a stern look.

"Whatever, now dish!" She said forcefully, starting back in on my eyebrows.

"Okay fine! Sheesh. Well we went back to his place because I was in no state for going out but I couldn't stay home. I spent the night and then.." She cut me off before I could finish.

"You spent the night! James you dog!" She squealed, with a surprised look on her face.

"Jose it wasn't like that. Anyway, we went bowling today and it was a good time."

"Sounds like you're leaving something out babe." She said. She started in on the actual makeup part then, I was truly excited to see what she'd do with me.

"Well I apologized for being stupid and explained everything, including what Amber said to me. He apologized too and said that Amber was just his attempt to get over me but it only made things worse especially when I stopped talking to him. He really thought he did something Jose, I felt so bad." I said sincerely.

"Awe that's good that you guys got that stuff all out in the open. Honesty is so important when you're building the blocks for a relationship. Also, I knew he was pretty torn up about you not talking to him but I wasn't sure how far it actually went. That's too bad that you both had to get hurt for anything good to come for you guys but hey, at least you both know now and you're happy." She shrugged.

"Yeah, I'm happy with where we are for right now." I commented and she continued on with the finishing touches of my eyeliner. I'd honestly never worn the stuff in my life so it was a pretty weird feeling getting it put on.

Once she was done with my face, she backed away from the stool I was on and out of the way of the mirror so I could see myself. I looked different, it was a weird at first but I quickly got used to it. It was a good change. She didn't go too crazy with the makeup, she gave me a warm look with natural colours that enhanced my features. I loved it. Next she did hers nice and quick, and then I started in on her hair.

"We're both gonna look so cute!" She said with a big smile on her face.

"If I can get this to turn out right we will." I joked. It didn't take me long to curl her hair, then when it was done I ran my fingers through all the curls to make them pretty waves instead of tight curls. Her hair was perfect when I was done, then I repeated the same process with my own hair.

Josie decided we should put on some of her cocktail dresses that she couldn't find an occasion for any more, so that's what we did. She had so many and they were all beautiful, it was hard to choose just one.

"What do you think?" I asked holding up two very different dresses. One was a semi-tight, short, red, one sleeve dress with a few red sequins here and there and the other was a short, white, strapless empire waist dress.

"Are you thinking sexy or cute?" She asked, with a finger on her chin while she thought.

"I don't know, what are you doing?" I wondered.

"I'm thinking sexy for both of us." She said and clapped her hands together as if to make it final.

"Alright then, red it is." I said, then slipped out of my pj's and into the red dress I had picked out. She changed into her choice too, a tight, black, v-neck dress that buttoned at the back of her neck and then the rest of her back was open before it reached her butt.

Once we were both in our dresses she grabbed her fancy Nikon camera along with the tripod that came with it. We set it up in her living room and we put it on the mode where it takes a bunch of pictures for us then we just started goofing around while it captured us.

By the end of it all we had some really funny pictures, we were dancing and she jumped on my back at one point, it was just a good time. We took one final picture before getting out of our dresses, that one she took on her phone though and sent it to Brandon and James. Our hair was a mess and we made our silliest faces, the caption she sent with it was 'Girls Gone Wild'. Not long after it was sent, I got a text from James.

From: James
Cute picture Cass hahaha.

To: James
Thanks, I try ;)

From: James
Haha, so how are you doing?

To: James
I'm doing better. Josie's helping keep my mind off of everything and we're having a really good time. :)

From: James
Well I'll let you go do your girly things. Any time you need me I'm always here, just a phone call away. Don't ever forget it.

To: James
Thanks Jamie it means a lot. :)

From: James
You're welcome Cass. :)

After that, we both put our pyjamas back on and put our hair up to get it out of our faces. We decided that we'd watch a movie to finish off our night, so I grabbed The Blind Side out of my bag to watch. Josie put the movie in the DVD player just under the TV in her and Brandon's room, then we curled up under the blankets. She was asleep within 10 minutes and I was out like a light not long after.

Notes

Kind of a fluffer but y'know not every chappy can have lots of James and Cassie, I thought it was time for some good old fashioned girl bonding between the girls while their boys were gone :) Anyway, comment please so I know how you all feel about it and hopefully I'll have another chapter soon :)


-XOX love Katee
