So could you help me ? I changed the subject, back to what I was originally here for.
Of course. She got up from the bed. Hold on.
Okay this is what I have. Pick one, I’ll be right back. And she rushed out the door. I look at all three and my eyes lock with one dress. Okay did you pick one ? She says, coming back into the room , with my makeup bag- it wasn’t hard to spot as I literally tore my my suitcase to shreds for an outfit.
Yes this one. I say, pointing to the black one.
Good choice. She gloats, obviously liking the one I picked.
It was sleeveless with a v neck that I knew would hit the bridge of my breast just by eyeing it, I felt the fabric and my eyes widen after picking it seeing it had a slit. That’s why I felt like I was a nun, I never wanted to try anything new.
Come on, let me do your makeup. She directed me to her the bathroom and I eyed my bag. Since you look good with nautral colors were going to keep it that way.
Alright.
Let me go get my primer.
Your what ?
It’s a spray, it helps your makeup last longer. She came back already talking away. I’m pretty sure you know how to do your hair, since I don’t really know how to- I’m not saying that I wouldn’t try I just don’t want !-
Adaline, it’s okay. I laughed it off, it was understandable- I was half black.
She finished less than thirty minutes. Okay, you’re going to have to run across the hall and do your hair while I bring you the dress.
What if he sees me ?
Track and Field it then. She was already out the door and I followed after her before seeing her pick up the dress. See like this. She quickly bolted out of the door and down the hall and I was starting to question if I wanted to become friends with her or not.
Following her lead, I sprinted across the hall but turning into the room, the feeling of my toe being stabbed by the door halted my movement. Seriously !
I know that hurts. Adaline interjected seeing me on the floor.
Yeah I know. I groaned, standing up to shake off the pain. Let’s just get this over with.
Maybe, we should put the dress on first. She commented as she already unzipped the back part.
We couldn’t have done that over there ? I pointed in the direction of her room.
No. She gave me a poker face.
Okay, give me the dress. I held out my hand.
You’re going to wear a bra with this ?
Uh.. I looked down to my cleavage. It’s not much I’m only a C cup.
Perfect. She held out her her hand that held the dress. No bra.
But-
She eyed me and I rolled my eyes before taking the dress. Fine.
Slipping out of my shorts and tank top, I stepped into the dress before pulling it up to my breast, unhooking the back to slip out of my bra and I quickly covered them before they could kiss the cold air. Okay, can you come zip me up ?
Turning so my back was to her, the sound of the zipper was the most satisfying. It fitted perfectly.
Now turn around so I can see. Turning to face her, she nodded her head with a smile plastered on her face. Well hot damn.
Is it too much ? I asked, looking down to see the v neck, I felt so exposed.
What heels do you have ? She asked me and I pointed to a few laying there and she rampaged through them before coming out with my tan ones. Here, this will make you stand out, wherever you’re going.
Now go do your hair.
Yes ma’am. Walking into the bathroom, I played with my hair for a little while deciding what to do.. one bun ? Two bun ? Half up, Half down ?
Deciding to give myself a bang, bobby pinning my hair in the front so when my hair did dry, it wouldn’t be so frizzy. I put the rest into a bun before spacing it out so it wouldn’t be so tight. So- I was interrupted when I didn’t see Adaline in the room anymore. What the heck ?
Sorry, sorry. She came back in. So I have jewelry, if you want it. She placed my makeup bag on the bed, before opening her other hand to reveal rings, a bracelet and I saw a long necklace in her hand. Sorry. I’m going to have to unravel that.
Smiling on how I found someone else that was just a little anxious like me, I nodded my head to tell her I would wait. She smiled before handing me the jewelry and she got busy unraveling the little mess she created before helping me slip it on.
She snapped her fingers. Earrings !
I have some on. They were studs. I think this is enough.
Uh no, take those off and put these on. She gave me her hoops. Alright, make sure you have your handbag, put your lipstick in it just in case your lips get dry, I have pepper spray if you need it, your phone. She started listing out what I needed and while she was doing that I was gathering what she said.
Now let’s go Smokey. She literally was pushing me out the door and I laughed out how eagerly she was being.
I automatically stopped laughing once I saw him, walking up the stairs- probably seee what was taking so long- but he stopped once he saw me as well.
The only thing I felt in that moment was Adaline’s hand on my back but taking a deep breath, I stepped away from her and towards him. You look beautiful. He breathed out once the silence was enough to suffocate a person.
Thank you, you don’t look so bad either. But of course I already seen him.
I know.
Cocky much ?
Shall we ? He ignored my comment but I knew he heard me as he had a slight smile on his face that he didn’t want to let fully form.
Holding out his hand to me, I looked back to Adaline with her hands together and up to her cheek. Go on.
Turning my attention back to him, I put my hand in his hand. We shall.
