Macy slept in because she didn’t have any works scheduled for the day and she had called her manager, who was the same woman managing Angela, and she had been told that there were no jobs or meetings that day.
As she was sleeping at around eleven o’clock, her phone rang.
Since she wasn’t expecting any important calls, she muted it even without looking at the calker ID with her eyes closed.
After a while, the phone rang again.
She did the same ring but after it rang for the third time, she was pissed and took it from the stand.
“Damn! Can’t people tell when to to stop! Just text!” She cussed as she opened her eyes a slit and then saw who it was.
Katina, her new manager.
“Kat?” She asked.
“Macy, where are you?” It was Angela and she was shouting.
“What do you mean where am I and why are you shouting at me?” Macy asked as she sat upritght
That shout to her ear had jolted her upright.
“What do you mean?
Katina tells me that she had told you that we have a meeting with the sponsors of the movie today and a press conference after that as we announce the release date and the promotions!
Do you even care about this movie?
The company gave you an opportunity and now you are behaving like a big celebrity?” Angela accused and Macy was now fully awake as she looked at the phone’s screen to make sure that she wasn’t dreaming.
“But the same Katina told me this morning that there were no scheduled meetings.
What happened? Was it scheduled out of the blue?” Macy asked but Angela didn’t answer.
“Just be here within one hour.
The luncheon starts at exactly one o’clock and the press conference at two.
And if you miss the luncheon, don’t dare come for the press conference,” Angela said and hang up.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaah!” Macy screamed herself hoarse as she wished that she could get Angela and break her two hundred and six bones one by one.
That scream was what got Richard and Mel into her room within seconds.
The two were busy doing their own things downstairs, Richard was working while Mel was drawing the wedding dress Macy would wear for her wedding with her dad, when they heard Macy scream.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s the problem mama?”
Richard and Mel asked at the same time as they budged through the door with the father carrying the child.
He placed Mel down and she rushed to Macy.
That was when she realized that she had screamed and apparently, the man she thought was at work wasn’t.
“Sorry. Sorry. I didn’t think that there are people in the house.
Why aren’t you at work?
And why are you home instead of school?” Macy asked them both as she lifted Mel up and held her.
“I thought I should work from home today.
I don’t really like the office environment and I like working frkm home.
Mel came home early today because her class went for a field study in a bread factory and I can’t have her there with her poor health.
I told her that we will arrange it later when it’s safe for her after the doctors give her a go ahead,” Richard explained and Macy nodded.
“Oh, okay,” Macy answered as she kissed Mel’s temple.
“Are you okay mama?” Mel asked again and that was when Macy realized what Mel had called her.
“What did you call me?” Macy asked.
“Mama. It’s uncle who told me that you are going to be my mama and I don’t mind.
I am even designing the dress you will wear for the wedding,” Mel said and Macy wished that there was a way she could teleport out of there to avoid the embarrassment she was feeling.
Richard was just standing there as if what Mel had said wasn’t news at all.
“Why did you scream?” Richard asked and that brought Macy back to reality.
“You won’t believe what those mother fff… fishers did!” Sje wanted to curse but then remembered Mel was there with them.
“What did they do?” Richard asked.
“I called the manager today before I went to bed in ten morning and she assured me that there was no jobs scheduled for today.
Now, that a…,” again, she swallowed the ass, “that Angela now calls telling me that there is a luncheon at one at the Grandiose and a press conference there after.
At one, just one hour away.
What am I supposed to wear.
She knew I would miss it and they did it intentionally. Where do I get a dress for such an occasion, makeup, shoes and then make it on time.
She’s screwing me over and I know it,” Macy lamented and then put Mel down.
“Mama, pleas don’t worry.
Daddy, help mama beat those bad guys,” Mel said as she held Macy’s hand
Macy wasn’t in the condition to ask her to stop calling her mama and so, she just went with the flow.
She just thought that later, after all this was done, she would sit with Mel and explain all the a hundred and two reasons why she shouldn’t call her mama.
“Yes, right now Ash and don’t you fail me.
We have forty minutes,” Richard said to the phone after making a phone call and then hang up.
“We will take care of it.
Go take a quick. shower and then cone downstairs.
You will make it on time,” Richard said and then took his daughter.
“Let’s wait for mama downstairs,” I say he he told Mel who obeyed and Macy was left there dumbfounded.
“What did he just say?” She asked herself then remembered that she had an emergency and rushed to the bathroom.
Within eight minutes, she was downstairs and she froze on her heels when she saw who was there with Richard.
“Bombalicious!” Macy said as she looked at the drag queen.
“Bomb, this is Macy. The reason why you are here,” Richard introduced and the man looked at Macy.
He was gorgeous in his get up and everyone in the industry knew him.
He worked for who was who and he was the best at what he did.
“Oh, hello there.
My! My!
You are as gorgeous as young master said.
With that face and that body, I will be done with you in thirty minutes,” he said and then dragged Macy.
“Let’s go darling. I promise to that you will be the queen of the show,” he said and Macy looked at Richard as if calling for help.
“Want to go baby?” Richard asked Mel who was eagerly waiting for that question and she splinted towards her mama.
Macy, Richard, Bombalicious and another man Macy hadn’t seen got inside a van that was enough to be a house.
The driver revved the engine and started driving.
“Sit,” Bombalicious ordered her and she sat.
She just couldn’t believe that she was in the presence of the most expensive and the most sort after makeup artist and designer.
Your face is beautiful as it is and so, we will go with nude makeup and then accentuate your jaw lines just a little and then, I will give you a pale pink eyebrows colour.
That will go well with your eyes and the dress I have in mind and then, nude lipstick.
You will look gorgeous queen,” Bombalicious said in his deep voice which contradicted the get up he was wearing.
Macy had never been in the presence of a drag queen again and this… this felt magical.
Bombalicious carried the venue and he had magic with him that made her feel like she was with a motherly figure.
Richard just held Mel at the seat beside her as he helped Mel with whatever they were doing on the tablet they were holding.
Within forty minutes, they were at The Grandiose and Macy was done and dusted.
She was wearing a pale pink flowing dress that was shaped as a fish at the hips and then flowed down at the knees and dragged a huge train behind it.
It was backless and had no sleeved as the bodice was made in such a way that it held it tightly on the bust.
The back was held together by thin straps that shine in the light as if they were made of silver.
The dress didn’t have a lot of decorations but it looked like it was made for a queen.
The only decoration she wore was a golden necklace Richard produced from his pocket and gave to Bombalicious who helped her clasp it at the back.
It had a golden pendant that had shiny pieces and hung at her cleavage as if it had been measured to fit there perfectly.
She was then given a matching small watch that looked like a bracelet at the first look before someone noticed the small clock face.
She was then handed a small purse that matched the dress.
Her shoes were small heeled pumps that looked like glass.
She looked like a princess out of a Disney movie.
“I told you that you will be gorgeous,” Bombalicious said proudly.
“I need to go,” Macy said as she looked at the watch.
“No baby. Queens needs to make an entrance.
Sit,” Bombalicious said and made her sit.
