My Yellow

Part 57 - Two

Rose's POV:

Makayla opens the door for Nicole and I. Nicole steps in first, and I go in after. I walk to Makayla's bed and sit down. "So what's the gift?" I ask Makayla as she walks and stands in front of me. She holds up her finger and walks to some candles on her desk. She lights five candles, making the room light up with an eerie glow. She turns back to me.

"Let me show you," Makayla walks to her closet and gets out three dresses. One is a pink color, that has a slit in the side and tassels, it's shirt and has thin straps. She sets that one on her dresser. "That one is mine," Makayla says with a smile. "This is Nicole's," she holds up a dress that's a lighter brown color, skin tight and thin straps. She hands it to Nicole. Nicole raises her eyebrows, but then nods.

"I really like it," She whispers admiring the dress.

"And this is Rose's," Makayla holds up a green dress, like a silk material. It's long sleeved. "I figured you would want a long sleeve because..." her eyes go to my arm and quickly away. I clear my throat.

"It's super pretty," I stand and take it from her. I touch the fabric, it's really soft.

"Let's do hair and makeup first, then we can get in the dresses," Makayla claps once. "I'm glad you guys like them."

"They're so pretty, thank you," Nicole sets her dress down on the bed. I lay mine down by hers.

"Yes thank you," I give a smile. I rub my hand over my arm. She is definitely right that I would've wanted long sleeves. I shift my weight from leg to leg. "Makayla will you do my hair?"

"Um, maybe after I shower and try to get mine under control," Makayla touches her hair and sighs. She turns and walks into the bathroom. "Oh hair stuff and makeup is in the top drawer of my dresser!" She then shuts the door and locks it. I look at Nicole. She shrugs.

"I can do your hair," She gives me a soft smile. "If you want."

"Yes please," I walk over to the dresser and open the top drawer. I get out some hair ties. "Can you braid my hair? Like... a fishtail braid or something?"

"Yeah of course," Nicole motions to the floor. I sit down, Nicole sits down behind me. "Hair ties?"I reach behind me and hand her the hair ties. "Alright ready?"

"As ever," I smile a little and shut my eyes.

Theo's POV:

I tap my fingers on my legs. Rose said something about them going out, so I know she's with Makayla and Nicole. "You look lost in thought," Jiung says walking up to me.

"I sorta am," I laugh and move over so he can sit down next to me.

"What are you thinking about?" He sits down and glances over at me. I purse my lips together.

"Have you noticed Rose has been acting weird lately?" I whisper and pick at my pants.

"A little yeah," Jiung nods and leans back against the wall. "Do you know why?"

"Not really," I rub my face. "I hope it wasn't because of what I did earlier."

"I don't think so," Jiung looks over at me. I look at him. "I mean it was a really bad way to handle that, but I don't think she's mad about that."

"I can never tell with her though," I say and look away from him. "She's kinda hard to read sometimes."

"Well maybe it's not about you bro, have you thought about the fact she's gone through a lot?"
