Vamp of my Dance. Chap6.

Chapter 6.

Melissa and Susie came towards me with makeup brushes and curling tongues, I didn't look whilst they prodded my face and pulled my hair in awkward angles. Keeping my eyes closed the whole time, only opening when Melissa asked me, wanting to see 'the look'!

"Job well done on her hair Susie! It looks beautiful, only problem we have now is what to put her in?" I could almost see Melissa and Susie's faces scrunch up, trying to decide.

"Hey guys, I'm not a rag doll you know?! And if I look like a clown, I will not be happy!"

"Shush you" I opened my mouth to argue Susie back but before I could Melissa struck up conversation with Susie, as if I wasn't even in the room.

"I think the cream flowery dress, but then her makeup wouldn't suit it. Hmm... What about that skirt and that blouse?"

"Oh yes! With this cardigan?" 

"Good idea, these shoes" I felt entirely left out, how could I let someone choose my clothes for me? I never even let my, mother, do that for me. I started to twizzle myself around in the chair.

"Kathy will you sit still please?" I felt Melissa move the chair to face her, I guessed. "Now stand up, I've got you don't worry"

I did as she commanded and felt her lead me over to the other side of their room. I heard them move some clothes and felt them ushering me towards the clothes they had chosen for me, keeping my eyes closed, I was too terrified to open them!

"Kat, we're gonna get you changed now... Hope you don't mind! We'll be quick as we can" True to their word, they didn't take more than a couple of minutes, muttering and cussing at each other if one did something wrong.

"Oh your legs are gorgeous and brown, no need for those tights then. There're lovely and smooth too" I felt a cold hand brushing my calf, I flicked it away and the girls giggled and continued to dress me.

"We're done Kathy, open your eyes" I heard the drape being pulled off the mirror and just stood there. Slowly... very slowly I opened my eyes.

Once I had fully opened my eyes, which felt heavy from the makeup that I never usually wear, I gasped at the figure standing before me.

I was stunned at what the girls had managed to make of me; I felt my face, gently touching my hair and my outfit. It was all me, even my clothes, I remember buying them, but the way they had styled them made them look brand new. I walked towards the mirror and peered at my face, the foundation was flawless, matching my golden skin perfectly, and my cheeks were bronzed lightly with a hint of a peachy pink too. My eyes were a sultry smoky black effect, but gently caressed with a beautiful sparkly pink. My eyelashes were long and full, each lash extended to its full capacity, making them look false. My lips looked fuller than usual, with a subtle peach gloss on them.

I stepped away from the mirror to look at my whole body, I was shocked, and I couldn't believe it was me. My hair caught my eye and I leaned sharply towards the mirror. Curls?! No wonder my head kept getting hot! My once naturally straight hair had been twisted and twirled in all directions into a waterfall of different sized curls, some were large sexy barrel curls, others were tight school girl cork screw curls, and the mixture gave my blonde hair a texture it had never had before. It was lovely. Returning to an upright position, I examined my outfit... I was wearing my white elbow length t-shirt, with my lacy pink and cream flower t-shirt over the top, I had my black frilled high waisted skirt and my cream cardigan on. On my feet were my cream patent Gucci heels, I loved these shoes but never found the right occasion to wear them. Clearly this was it. In amongst my head of curls I had a pink fascinator; it was feathery in a flower shape. Around my neck hung my large fuchsia pink heart shaped necklace, I had several bangles on my wrist and a pair of dangly earrings in. 

I looked sophisticated, like I was going to a very, very posh restaurant. I turned to thank the girls, but they were hurriedly getting themselves ready, I perched on the swivel chair and watched them, sharing the mirror and makeup, it was like a perfected piece of art watching them get ready.

"Where's my phone? I should call my Dad" I suddenly realised and started to panic looking around the room for my cell.

"It's in your pink holder, on the bed under your trench coat...” Melissa said this whilst applying her mascara; her mouth was open which made her sound like a whale.

I walked over to one of the beds, letting myself sink into the heels and finding my stride. I moved my black Prada trench coat and retrieved my phone. Flipping it up I scrolled through the numbers till I got to Dad's.

It rang several times before he answered.

"Hey daddy!" 

"Hello dear, are you okay? You never usually call me at this time?" He sounded concerned.

"Oh no I'm fine, in fact I'm wonderful! I just wanted to let you know that I'm going out tonight with some of my new friends from school so I won't be in when you get back, I'm sure what time I'll be back actually, I may stay over I'm not sure yet"

"Okay Kathy, thank you for letting me know. I think It'll be a late one for me tonight too" He sighed deeply and I giggled at him.

"Okay Daddy, well I best go, I love you"

"I love you too angel, keep in touch and be safe"

"I promise" I smiled and hung up the phone, I felt better now. I placed my phone back in bag and returned back to my seat.

"Well we're ready, are you?" Susie looked at me, wow that was quick. They both looked amazing; we all looked great if I'm honest.

"Yes I'm ready, but there's one thing missing..." They gave me a puzzled look. "Pictures!" I yelled and jumped up, grabbing the camera off the side, we took many pictures before we heard Peter yell up the stairs at us.

"Girls we gotta go! Else we'll be late!"

"Coming!" Melissa squealed. "Right, let’s show you off to Darren!" They led me by the hand, after we had picked all our bags and coats up and trooped downstairs.

"Peter and Darren cover your eyes!" Susie was getting a little over excited now.

"There're covered" I heard Darren and Peter laugh between them. I looked at them as I got dragged into the kitchen, true to their word, they had covered their eyes.

Melissa positioned the three of us in front of Peter and Darren and looked at me with excited eyes; she breathed out deeply and closed her eyes, preparing herself.

"Okay, open up!" She opened hers as she said this and the boys did as she said too, they stared at us three and their mouths hung open.

"We scrub up well don't we?"

"More than well. You all look... look... Beautiful!" Darren gasped his words out in amazement. Peter on the other hand couldn't take his eyes off Susie, I could see the blush forming on her cheeks and decided to break the tension and say something.

"You boys look good too you know I like your style" great, how cheesy do you wanna get?!

"Thanks Kat, right then shall we go?" Peter managed to pull himself away and gestured towards the door.

"Let's go!" Melissa was jumping with excitement and was quick to turn all the lights off and head out the door, as Susie and Peter walked next to each other out the door and into the car, I could feel Darren behind me.

"May I?" He held his hand out in front of me, over my shoulder, I turned around blushing, and took his hand, and he led me out the door and helped me into the car. We were quickly on our way to the restaurant.
