Poppy's PoV
It didn't take long for Crystal, Sierra and her friend Rebecca to make me feel like part of the gang. Sweetly, Luke had leant us his room to get ready in because he had a floor length mirror and after some pleading from Sierra, he gave in. They had so many outfit ideas I could barely believe my eyes but I suppose without knowing who I was or what I really looked like, they weren't going to be able to help me. Crystal was wearing a white lace bralette and some low cut black jeans. Sierra was in a classic lace little back dress that had a beautiful lace design around the low cut chest. Rebecca wore a long sleeved red dress with cut outs at the waist. They all looked beautiful. There was no way I could match up to these women.
"I take it you don't go out often?" Rebecca asked me quietly as the other girls sifted through the bags. I gave her a look that said 'is it that obvious?' and sighed.
"I'm normally working, I don't have much of a social life. That and all of you are absolutely stunning. There's no way I can-"
"Shh!" Rebecca's finger was on my lips before I could finish my sentence which shocked me and made me widen my eyes.
"Bex!" Sierra scolded her and she quickly retracted her finger, offering me an apology.
"But she was saying she's not as attractive as us and I just..." Rebecca justified her actions to the other two girls who continued sifting through clothes. Finally, Crystal pulled something out and held it up. Sierra and Rebecca gasped audibly as they admired the outfit. "That's the one." They quickly moved me to the mirror and without question, began to undress me so that they could dress me in the new outfit. Before my eyes, my dreary outfit was gone and was replaced with a black spaghetti strap top tucked into a grey skirt. They paired it with a choker and some strappy heels. It was an outfit that was basic but did the job and did it well. It showed off just as much cleavage as I was comfortable with and showed enough leg to know I had some, yet I didn't feel uncomfortable, I felt sexy.
"There's that smile I was looking for..." Crystal said as she stood in front of me, admiring their work. "Right, hair and makeup and then we are done." She ushered me to a chair and the girls got to work again. Within what felt like minutes, I had curled hair and natural make up, with eyeliner and false eyelashes making my eyes pop. They knew what to do.
"Thank you so much, girls! I owe you one!" I said as I hugged them all excitedly.
"Right, are we all ready? Shall we show the boys how lucky they are?" Sierra pumped us up and as we all nodded she pulled the door open, poking her head round to see all the men sat bored, awaiting us. Her head spun back to us as she gave us the smile that said they were all there. She gave us a nod as she headed out first, spinning round as the boys clapped - half out of happiness that it meant we were finally ready and half because she looked amazing.
"You look stunning." Luke jumped up, pulling her into a hug and giving her a gentle kiss. Crystal was the next to come out, receiving her round of applause before Michael grabbed her and spun her round, kissing her.
"Gorgeous as always!" He blushed. Rebecca was next, the boys all clapping as she did a spin.
"You look great Bex!" Ashton said, pulling her into a hug. I wasn't sure if they were actually an item or not, but I could definitely sense something between them which made me smile.
"Come on then Poppy!" Crystal called. "Time to leave them speechless." She laughed, making me even more nervous. Finally, I took a breath in and out before coming out of the room, doing a small twirl and stopping - but there was no round of applause, just absolute stunned silence. I gulped down the nervous feeling as I looked down, scared that I'd done something wrong. I looked between everyone, all the boys were staring in shock whilst the girls grinned ear to ear.
"Wow." Luke finally managed to blurt out. "I mean it's not my place to say..." he said as he nudged Calum in the arm hard, "but you look amazing!" Michael and Ashton nodded in agreement, finally breaking into applause.
"What's up Cal? You don't like it?" Sierra asked carefully as Calum continued to stare. He hadn't said a word - barely even breathed or blinked. I bit my lips nervously.
"Fucks sake! Calum?!" Ashton jumped over and smacked him round the back of the head. "You're making her nervous!" Calum jolted slightly, like he'd been brought back to reality as he finally smiled.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean- it's just- well you look incredible." He said as he finally hobbled to his feet but I was already running over to him to embrace him. He grabbed me and pulled me close, showering me in love. "You're so beautiful." He said as he kissed me.
"Thank you." I beamed as we pulled apart.
"Right, lets get our party on!" Michael said, practically rushing out of the door. We all bundled into a minibus with Dave as we headed to the nightclub, ready to have a brilliant time. I held Calum's hand throughout the journey, slightly nervous that this was the first time we'd been seen out as a couple and although we did have the meal together, that didn't exactly go to plan. I think Calum could tell I was nervous but he offered me a comforting smile and stroked my hand.
Soon afterwards, we had arrived. I could see the line of people queuing for this place and knew it must have been a good one. We walked straight up to the bouncer who let us straight in. Paparazzi were already blinding us with the amount of photos they were taking, but Calum kept close by me making sure Dave was there to guide me as he couldn't. We made our way into the club quickly and headed to the back where a VIP section was roped off. Once we'd all sat down, Dave went off to do his normal checks.
"Right who's up for drinks?" Ashton was the first to jump up. We all nodded and cheered. "Pops, you wouldn't mind giving me a hand would you?" I shook my head as I stood up, but noticed both Calum and Rebecca not looking best pleased. Oh dear. Please say there's no drama.
