ALL I NEED- DIMITRI VEGAS FT LIKE MIKE & GUText © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

True to her word, Meredith was here in fact fifteen minutes earlier.

reason?

she was impatient.

Here’s how it happened.

flashback, two hours ago.

Mom and Dad left a note on the dining table saying they’ll be staying out late. So I wasn’t expecting them anytime soon.

Lying on my bed and watching the teddy that was given to me from afar, I heard the bell ring then I got up-

wait let me rephrase that.

someone pressed the bell multiple times like it was a button to win a ballot and I jumped out of my bed in shock.

yeah that’s better.

I checked the time, and I had fifteen more minutes to expect Meredith, so whose by the door?

possibly Mom and Dad cancelled work for the day.

I went down the stairs to get the door. about to open when it was pushed open.

“I need a pair of scissors, two disposable gloves, an empty jar, a little spatula and a size three needle” Meredith was saying as she pushed past me with a gigantic box trolling behind her.

“uh-hi?” this girl never ceases to confuse me.

“oh, I didn’t know I came over for pleasantries. where is your room? chop chop!”

“it’s upstairs, but why do you need all those stuffs? are you performing a surgery or something?” I knew I was ugly but not plastic surgery ugly.

“surgery? well if you put it that way, yeah. I am performing a surgery. A hair dye surgery” and she whipped around, marching upstairs.

“I am not a parade, stop watching and follow” she shouted from upstairs when she was out of sight and saw I wasn’t following her.

“I thought you said six o’clock?” I shouted back.

“I was impatient” was all I got then I heard a door shut.

The energy of this girl.

END OF FLASHBACK..

So now here we are two hours later in my room with a million clothes littered all over the bed and floor.

After seventy tries, Meredith ended up with a black cropped top and washed blue high waisted jeans. while I?

I’m wearing a black sequin long sleeve gown that ended mid thigh and glued to my body like a second skin. A round neck that shows no cleavage at all.

It’s backless and only begins clothing behind from my waist level.

Clearly meaning, I feel naked.

It’s only then I noticed the bruise on my back had totally healed but I wasn’t too comfortable showing so much skin.

“Meredith?”

“No! and if you don’t leave that mirror this instant, I’ll make you eat my eyeshadow”

ha… Meredith with the comforting words.

I walked away from the mirror, but I know I’ll be back there in the next five minutes. I’ve been doing this for the past hour now.

“you look beautiful, and chic I didn’t even know you had a curvy figure laddled with an ass under all those your oversize” Meredith complimented winking at me.

I not being used to being complimented turned red.

“y-you don’t think I’m showing too much skin?” beautiful or not I still feel naked.

“heck, no one would notice that. Your face will steal the whole show”

Maybe she’s right.

On a normal day I have never applied makeup, except to conceal bruises or black eyes.

But today I actually put on makeup to look pretty. And Meredith showed her skills on my face.

I walked back to the mirror again.

I told you guys.

And viewed my reflection. From my perfectly drawn brows, to my eyes carrying a beautiful tonal graduation of pink to black eyeshadow. Single winged eye liner and a pink lipstick to top it off.

I look different.

The tips of my black hair had been dyed blond and my slight waves straightened.

courtesy of Meredith.

I’m starting to love this girl.

Still observing my features, Meredith popped into the vision.

“we don’t want all this beauty to waste now do we?”

I smiled. Meredith looks like a porcelain doll. I can’t help but always feel inferior around her.

“y-you look awesome” I had to compliment right? that’s what friends do.

“and you look better” then she winked “I saw a black car pull up on your driveway. Your date is quite adequate” she continued and I?

yup, i turned red.

We walked out of the house hand in hand and I let go of Meredith to lock up the door.

“Pretty boy can’t stop staring at you. let’s hope he can keep his hands to himself tonight” she whispered in my ear as I was fondling with the keys.

I have just broken the law of thermal conductivity by being this heated without a source.

Turning around I met Clement’s green eyes staring at everywhere except my face.

Oh God, I’m gonna pop. do I look bad? Meredith didn’t say anything.

“Yo Dylan! her face is up here”

trust Meredith to make matters worse.

His eyes snapped away from my legs as he watched us walk down to the car.

“you guys look amazing” he said but his eyes were fixated on me.

“yeah try saying that next time a few minutes before day dreaming of stripping Iris naked”

ME-RE-DITH!!!

Clement’s face went red, “you know what? let’s just get going”

And I nodded.

usuals.

I scrambled to the back seat cause I was in no way stable to ride shotgun with Clement as the driver.

The both of them seemed to notice as they both tried hiding their laugh. And I tried hiding my will to die.

We got in and the car started moving. At first I was excited but then..

What exactly do they do at parties? Meredith had a long list but none sounded like what I’ll want.

“ehmm… guys, what exactly am I to do at a party?” letting out what is in my mind.

“all you need tonight is us” said Meredith.

“yeah, just your friends by your side” added Clement.

That wasn’t enough for an answer but the smiles they both gave me was reassuring.

And then, I was relaxed.

We arrived and the party was already in full swing. Meredith and Clement never leaving my side.

I had several bottles of soda-not ready to try alcohol yet.

But Meredith was already wasted. Clement is limiting his drinks cause he’s our driver for tonight.

So a few hours later and after much words of wisdom from a drunken Meredith, I was feeling the actual vibe to groove.

Now I was on the dancefloor with Meredith. Clement had left a few minutes ago with some friends.

Dancing softly to the music I suddenly had the urge to pee.

I knew I shouldn’t have taken excess soda.

“hey, Meredith, I’ll be right back. I wanna powder my nose”

I’m not sure she understood me but since she nodded I’m going for it.

Walking down the hallway towards the toilet and trying to avoid the STD’s flying about the corners.

eww… how can they be so shameless?

I was making my way to the ladies room when someone gripped my arm.

“and who do we have here?”
