My phone rang and I saw it was Wade.
“Dude! You’re still alive? Does that mean she believes you?”
“Yeah”
“All your body parts intact?”
“Shut up”
“What? I am asking a serious question here!”
“Seriously shut up”
“Ok ok give Natasha the phone Sean here wants to talk to her”
I handed over the phone to Natasha.
“Nats darling”
“Hey Sean”
“Sweetheart you forgot you and I have an appointment with the beautician and the hair stylist”
“Ohhhhh Sean do we have to!”
“Yup, be ready in an hour”
Natasha turned to me and said, “Sean is coming to take me”
“I heard”
“I wish I dint have to go” she said clinging to me like a chimp. I smiled and kissed the top of her head.
“Me too but you have to look your gorgeous best, besides Sean would kill us both”
“You’re right” she sighed and got off my lap.
I let go of her reluctantly, and went to lay down on the bed, I was tired and I wanted to sleep the day off.
Natasha’s P. O. V:
I smiled at Jude’s sleeping form. He was snoring gently and looked peaceful. I quickly dried my hair because I knew Sean had this habit of turning up early when I was late and right on cue the doorbell rang. I went and opened the door and Sean waltzed in.
“Ready to go darling?”
“Yes” I said and picked my bag. I went back to where Jude was sleeping and kissed him on his cheek.
“So you heard about Stephanie right?”
“Yeah” I replied, “this is the last time she messes with me”
“what do you mean?”
Sean jumped up and down in excitement as I told him about my plan. First however we went to the beautician ho checked my skin type and went about specifying various treatments for me.
I just sat there and left myself at their mercy. I lay in bliss as my back was gently massaged with fragrant oils. My hair was oiled and treated to hair spa. I just sat there reveling in different aromas that were soothing.
I had no idea where Sean had disappeared off to but I didn’t mind. Later I was immersed in warm water with rose petals in it. My hair was washed and conditioned. At last I was given a facial massage and a facial. When it was done I felt refreshed.
I saw my image in the mirror and gasped, I was positively glowing.
“Hey girlfriend”
I turned to see Sean, he was also glowing.
“Sean! You look wonderful”
“I know right? You don’t look too bad yourself!”
“Why thank you!”
“Ok come on lets go, next stop is the hair stylist and make up artist. I got them both under one roof”
“Hold on let me pay”
“Already taken care of!”
“Sean!”
“Lets go”
I rolled my eyes and followed him.
A few minutes later we were at the hair stylist’s. we went there and Sean and she immediately began to fuss over me.
“Hi I am Gwen” said the stylist.
“Natasha”
Soon she had a brush in her hand and handful of pins in her apron pocket and she set to work.
When she was done Sean and I could only marvel at her handiwork. To say that my hair looked beautiful was an understatement, she had blow dried my flicks to the side. She had then back brushed the hair on my crown are so that it did not fall flat. She then took multiple braids from both side of my head and had intertwined them. All of it had ended up in an elegant twist but she left the ends open as she pinned each strand of my hair.
“Thank you! Its gorgeous” I squealed.
“Well I am glad you liked it” said Gwen smiling, “on the wedding day there will be a few adornments in your hair of course”
“Thank you its beautiful!”
“I love it!” said Sean.
“So we finalized on this hairstyle?”
“Absolutely” chorused Sean and I. The make up artist stepped up next. I felt like a doll being dressed up. Sean and I described my dress and jewellery for him.
He started with a foundation to make my skin look even and then applied pressed powder to it so that my skin didn’t look oily. He then worked on my eyes. He applied a thick line of kohl and a thin barely there line of eye liner. He then applied two coats of mascara to my eyes and applied a nude pink eye shadow. He then proceeded to add color to my cheeks and lips. When I saw in the mirror I barely recognized myself.
In a few minutes I had got high cheekbones and color to my cheeks.
‘I like it” I said.
“Me too” said Sean.
Thus we finalized the make up. I then asked them to undo my hair and wipe my make up because I wanted my look to be a surprise for Jude. I then moisturized my face and let the kohl remain.
After fixing an appointment for my wedding Sean and I left.
“Sean now is the time to put our plan in action”
“Can’t wait to see it”
A few minutes later Sean and I were standing in front of a small white house. I rang the doorbell and waited. A few minutes later the door was opened.
“Hi Stephanie” I said stepping in.
“Natasha what are you doing here?”
“Oh I came to thank you” I said stepping in.
“What for?” she asked looking at me as if I had lost my bearings.
“Well for sending me the picture and showing me Jude’s true colors”
“Oh” she said smirking, ” I told you he wasn’t into yo-”
She couldn’t complete her sentence because I slapped her hard across her face.
“What the!” she said holding her cheek.
“Get it into that stupid thick skull of yours. Jude doesn’t love you! He knows who you are, you are nothing but a nasty, dishonest, disloyal gold digging bitch! Stay away from my man, I mean it!”
“You’re delusional!”
“HAahhahahahahhahahaha really now? Stephanie I feel sorry for you.
You lost a gem of a guy and now you want him back not for him but his money. How sad can your life get?”
With that I turned to see Sean had been video taping the whole scene between Stephanie and me.
“Sean!”
“Sorry couldn’t help it” I rolled my eyes and moved forward when suddenly Stephanie jumped me from behind and pulled my hair.
“Ouch! Let go off me you bitch!”
“He is mine!”
“He hates you!”
“I will have him”
“Well try but you will never succeed” I said managing to pry her hands from my hair. I twisted her arm and she screeched. I then pushed her on the floor and slapped her once more, “Stay away from my guy if you know what’s good for you bitch!” with that I got up as she sat up nursing her hand.
“I mean it”
With that Sean and I walked outside.
“Wow! I cant believe that just happened!” he yelled.
“I know right? I cant either!”
“Awwww Jude is going to be so proud of you!”
“Shut up!”
Jude’s P. O. V:
Natasha and Sean came back from their therapy session a few hours later. By then I was refreshed and rejuvenated. Sean was all excited about some stunt Natasha had pulled while she kept asking him to shut the hell up.
“Ok what Have you been going on about Sean?”
“All in good time” he replied while Natasha rolled her eyes.
Soon Wade came and Natasha went upto him and asked, “did you do what I asked?”
“Yes sir!” he mock saluted her.
“What is happening?” I asked bewildered.
Suddenly I heard voices from behind me.
‘Stay away from guy!’
Wade and I turned to see a sniggering Sean. We turned just in time to see a video playing on my laptop. My eyes widened as I saw Natasha slap Stephanie.
“What the”
“hell” completed Wade.
We watched in stunned silence as Natasha sat on top of Stephanie and asked her to stay away from me, I turned to Natasha who shrugged and said, “What? Somebody had to knock some sense in that bitch!”
“Is it weird that right now I am all turned on watching your ninja
avatar?” I whispered in her ear.
She blushed and replied, “Perv”
“Woohoo” said Wade after the video was over. He gave Natasha a high
five. Just then the door bell rang and Wade answered it.
“Nats he is here”
I looked at Natasha in confusion who smiled and took a photograph from her purse.
“Who is this?”
“This is Jason, the head of security for your wedding” said Wade.
“Er hi Jason”
“Hello sir”
“Jason you were called here because I wanted you to look at this picture” said Natasha. I gasped as I realized it was Stephanie’s. Nats wouldn’t give a contract for Stephanie to be killed would she? No way!
“This is Stephanie, I want you to make sure that on our wedding day she doesn’t get close within 10 miles of the wedding venue. She is a trouble maker, do you get me?”
“Yes ma’am rest assured she will not get anywhere near you”
“Good you can leave Jason”
Natasha turned around and flung her arms around me. “No more disruptions from her!” she yelled excitedly. Wade and Sean went to watch the video again.
I stared at Natasha in awe. “When you go all ninja you’re scary. Scary but hot at the same time!”
“Perv!” she said and kissed me.
“I love you Natasha”
She looked at me and gulped, “I love you too Jude”
“I am so glad you chose to trust me”
“A marriage is empty without trust”
“Well I am almost glad Stephanie did what she did. At least I found out how much you love me.”
“Likewise” she smiled and we joined Wade and Sean who were cheering like idiots once more.
