Like a Moth to a Flame (girlxgirl)

Chapter 7 the announcement

Sarah’s pov

“Honey?! The guest will be here in a minute now.”

“Yes mum, be there in a sec!” shit, I’m so nervous right now. What if she doesn’t like my outfit or my makeup? Is it too much? Should I settle for a simple look? I can’t believe i was looking at myself at the mirror. It’s like a different girl staring back at me. I never really pay attention to myself before so this is new to me. I even watch YouTube just to get some tips on how to apply makeup and do my hair. It’s a good thing I’m a fast learner and it’s like I’ve been doing this for ages. I opted to choose a vintage type of look like Marilyn Monroe hairdo and match it with red lipstick. I’m not sure if this is too much. And it’s too late for me to change my look coz the Sinclair’s will be here any minute now. ughhh, what if she’ll think that I’m dressing up for her, which is true. But I don’t want her to think that I put way too much effort for her.

“Honey?! The Sinclair’s are here now. Come out now, don’t worry everything will be fine. Just be yourself darling” as I was about to step out of my room my mum look at me smiling. “ohh my gosh my baby is now a lady! You look absolutely stunning baby!” she exclaimed.

“ohhhh don’t you think that it’s too much that I put so much effort? And I don’t think the look suits me it’s like I’m one of those desperate housewives who put too much makeup on.” I said with a worried look on my face.

“Of course not, You look absolutely gorgeous darling! The makeup suits you. I didn’t know you’re good with makeup.” She said smiling at me

“You look absolutely wonderful darling! You are always been beautiful and now your stunning darling.” My dad burst out of nowhere. “And let’s go down now. We don’t want our guest to wait.” As my dad kiss me and my mum’s cheek “I’m so blessed to have two beautiful women in my life!” we were now laughing. I’m the one who is blessed to have supportive parents like them. My parents are wonderful and thinking about them makes takes me off of my worries which make me think back again. I’m so freaking nervous right now, seeing Alicia makes me nervous. Why did she have to kiss me and makes me feel this way. And about the announcement it makes me feel giddy. I got a bad feeling that it will not turnout good. Why does my world turn upside down with just a kiss? As much as I wanted to take it all back I couldn’t. Thinking about her not kissing me feels wrong and my heart wants to protest. I just want to get over this dinner and then I’ll have a goodnight sleep.

I as we all went downstairs, I can see that caterers and the place we’re all set up. I really think that the announcement will be pretty much important because with all the commotion down here. I'm pretty sure the kitchen is like a hell house right now. Mum was making sure everything was perfect even with the tiniest detail. Everything was amazing. The lights were perfect. The centrepiece was superb.

I saw Mrs. Sinclair heading towards us. “Hello there darling, you look amazing!” as she cheek greets me with a kiss on the cheek.

“Thank you, Mrs. Sinclair, you look beautiful yourself too Mrs. Sinclair. Is Jaime with you Mrs. Sinclair?” as I kissed her back on the cheek. I didn’t ask for Alicia because it would be too weird since I’m more close to her son.

“How many times did I tell you to call me Virginia? I feel too old when you call me that. I am too old darling?” she said smiling at me. “Of course not Mrs.—I mean Virginia.” I said to her shyly.

“hahaha I was just joking darling but I need you to call me Virginia from now on, After all we’re practically like family but don’t you worry they’re on their way here. You know how kids these days, they took too long to dress up. And I have to make sure that Jaime accompanies her sister here so she won’t be late again.” She said laughingly.
