Lord Aiden Pet's

seven

I woke up to the smell of bacon filling my nose. mmmm. What a delicious smell. I look around to see where the smell is coming from to find a covered silver plater sitting on the coffee table in the middle of the room.

I get out of bed and walk over to and inspect it. It smells sooooo good. I lift the lid to reveal eggs, bacon, pancakes, a biscuit, and sausage. Who could eat all this food I thought to myself? Oh well I think as I dig in. I see that there is a note sitting next the plater but decide not to read because I have a feeling I already know who it's from.

While eating my food I realized that today is "The Big Day'' that Aiden had mention was finally here, the only problem is there I had yet to figure out what that actually meant.

All morning I had heard whispering outside my door, murmurings of the arrival of a "king''? Whoever he is, he is causing quiet the fuss. Interrupting my thoughts is a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?'' says Natalia.

"Come in!" I yell. The door opens to reveal Natalia dressed in beautiful red flowing dress with slits on both thighs, her long blonde hair curled to perfection. Natalia is the of beautiful girls would kill to be.

"Why aren't you dressed?'' she asked in a panicked voice.

"I didn't know I had to be." I said as I shrugged my shoulders.

"I left you a note when I dropped off your breakfast this morning! Look!" she said as she as she walked over to the coffee table and retrieved the note I hadn't bothered to read.

"I didn't read the note because I thought it was from him." I said apologetically.

"Today is a big day, we don't have time for screw-ups." She rambles as she heads towards the closet, that I completely destroyed last night. Before I had a chance to ask her what makes today so special she opens the door to the closet.

"Oh my goddess! What happened in here? It looks like a clothes bomb exploded! You know what never mind we don't have time for this." she says as she took in the clothes scattered about on the floor.

Pulling out her phone she changes languages as she speaks in a hushed whisper to the person on the other line. She ends the call and a second later there is a knock on the door.

"It's open!" she yells as the door opens and two elderly ladies pushing a rack of gorgeous gowns enter. The eye with distrust. Which given the number of times I've tried to escape it seems fair.

The shortest of the two steps forward and with a kind smile says "I'm Poppy." as she holds her hand out towards me. I reach my out to shake her hand when she pulls me into a big hug. Uncomfortable I hug her back. As she pulls away she whispers everything is going to be alright. Which was oddly comforting. She steps back and exchanges a look, almost like the were communicating though no words were spoken. Weird. Then the other lady introduces herself as Opal. She starts pulling dresses from the rack and handing them to me to try on.

"Why all the ball gowns?" I turn to ask Natalia who only moments ago was standing right beside me. Now seemingly vanished into thin air. Weird. I make my way to the closet that is bigger than my one bedroom apartment back home to try on the gowns. She handed me 5 different gown all very beautiful. Already knowing which one I want to try on first. I make quick work of undressing and stepping into the gown of emerald green. It's many layers make it a lot bigger than I originally thought.

I admire myself in the mirror my long black hair hung in messy waves down my waist. My green eyes look tired with the deep bag underneath them. My cheeks are hallow and my skin paler than normal. I look rather small under all the layers of the gown. I open the door and step out of the closet room to find Poppy and Opal. Much to my surprise I also find him. Staring at my with his mouth slightly open. He clears his throat.

"You look beautiful." he says while still never taking his eyes off mine. I quickly look away as a muble a quick thank you.

"He's right miss you do look quite lovely in the color. I believe you should wear that dress all the others pale comparison. Follow me, and I'll help you finish getting ready." Poppy says as she begins to pull out curling irons and makeup kits and makes her way to the bathroom. I turn to follow Poppy leaving him still staring at me.

Once in the bathroom Poppy waste no time getting to work brushing my hair and curling it. She makes sure not a single hair is out of place then she starts on my makeup. It seems like forever before she tells me to look in the mirror to admire her work. Wow. I look beautiful. Poppy her my once matted her perfectly curled and shiny. My face that only moments ago look lifeless is now full of color. My eyeshadow is brown and smoky bringing out every shade of green in my eyes. My cheeks are now rosey and my lips are glossy. I truly look pretty.

"I don't think pretty is quite the word I would use to describe the way you look, maybe stunning. Pretty just isn't strong enough." Aiden declares as he leans against the door frame.

"I didn't say anything" I remark catching him off guard.

"Didn't you though? It doesn't matter now we have business to attend to." He says quickly while ushering me to follow him. I spare a quick glance at Poppy she only nods her head. I take that as I sign to follow him.

New chapter coming very soon;) xoxo
