Marrisa Bonifacio
I couldn’t sleep throughout the night, my thoughts were going far and wild, thinking of so many things, reasons, and what I have to do to show Robert I could be worthy of his love.
It’s morning already and it’s crazy how Robert never slept in the mansion. I know he’s with Rose, so I don’t have to worry about his whereabouts. I climbed down from the bed and the next place my mind went to was the mirror
I walk toward the full-length mirror in our room and stood straight staring at my reflection, all I see is a woman that has done nothing but loves Robert genuinely, but he keeps on saying I’m not his type and will never be, and right now starting from today, I want to prove Robert Declan wrong, I will show him that I can be his type, I just need one thing
I need to change what he sees in the mirror, I need to change my looks, my color, my hair everything if that’s what it takes for him to notice me, then I have to do that
I will change every of my look to that of Rose, I will try to dress like Rose too, and I will also try to act like Rose, and just maybe this time around he will look at me differently
“Yes…..” I rejoiced happily
“Woo…calm down Marrisa Bonifacio,” I said to myself trying to calm my nerves down, I will start by going to take my bath and after that, I will be visiting the saloon for a makeover
I rushed into the bathroom and took a quick bath, after which I came out, I dried my body and applied my body cream.
I rumbled through my closet searching for clothes to wear, seconds later I settled for faded blue jeans and a white tank top
Minutes later, I was done, I wore black heels and a white handbag before walking out of our apartment deciding not to take Roberts’s cars anymore.
I walk down the street searching for a taxi, and it didn’t take a while before one stopped in front of me
“Beauty salon,” I said to him and entered before he drove off. Throughout the whole drive, my mind was running on so many things
Minutes later we stopped at the Salon, I climbed down from the taxi and paid the taxi driver, before going into the salon store.
“Good day” I greeted the lady whom I presume is the owner of the saloon
“Good day ma, please how can we help you?”
“I want to dye my hair blonde,” I said with a smile
“Wow…but you look good in black actually”
“Yeah…I know but for some reason, I want to dye it blonde”
”Alright sit down” She pulled out a chair for me and I sat down.
She started with turning the dye and running it on my hair, drying and everything. The whole process tools hours but the good thing is…hours later my hair was ready and gosh I look beautiful in blonde, I dyed my hair blonde because Rose’s hair is blonde, and if I have to start being like Rose then I’d to start with my hair
“You look pretty mam” The hairstylist complimented me
“Thanks, it’s all your hand work”
“You’re welcome” She smiled
I pulled out some dollar notes from my handbag and paid her before leaving the Saloon, I decided to stop by the mall and get some clothing that Rose normally wore, Rose liked to put on skimpy dresses, and if that’s what I have to wear for Robert to notice me, then I will do it
I walk into the mall and walked toward the ladies’ section trying my best to select the best skimpy dress available, it took time but after minutes of searching I was able to pick some
I paid for them and left the mall, it’s already dawn in the evening, and I want to make dinner today for Robert, a romantic dinner, to spice up our marriage
I arranged the stuff that I bought into my closet before walking downstairs to make dinner, I decided to make beef stew and chicken with rice, I put so much love and affection into making that meal making sure that everything is perfect so that nothing will make Robert be upset
I was done within an hour, I served the food in the dining, I make sure to arrange them perfectly before going upstairs to take my bath, I entered the bathroom and strip off the whole of my clothes, I looked at myself in the mirror and sure I look different, I now have a blonde hair, long lashes which I got today, a brown eye contact lens and a perfectly done pedicure and manicure, all this for my Robert to look at me and appreciate me
I entered the bathtub and the warm water, welcomed my delicate skin,
“Hmmm…” I moaned, enjoying the sweet touch of the water, I stayed long in the bathtub and by the time I came out, I was looking good and smelling nice. I tied a towel around my body and walked inside the room.
I settled for the pink nightie that I bought today at the mall hoping Robert would like them.
I made sure to wear a nice cologne, I went downstairs and sat on the couch waiting for Robert to come back.
It was getting late already, I looked at the time and it was eight in the night, yet Robert was nowhere in sight. I was getting worried. I tried calling his line but he was not picking up.
I decided to sit and wait for him hoping he would come back, hours passed and he was not back. I looked at the food I made and saw them on the dining table just the way I left them hours ago. I was hungry but I already lost my appetite.
I look at the wall clock and it’s twelve in the morning, tears trickle down my eyes, my heart wrecked with pain, I lay on the couch and closed my eyes allowing sleep to take over.
