"okay,what about this one?"
destiny asked,holding up a bright red dress with a slit.

"i'm going to an auction not a ballroom party."
i shook my head.

she rolled her eyes,tossing it on the bed.
she pulled out a light blue dress that came just above the knee.

"this one?"

she shook her head.
"too short,i'm not tryna shave today."
she explained.

she groaned throwing it down with force making aaliyah laugh.
"this one?"
she pulled out a light yellow dress.

aaliyah scrunched her face up in disgust.
"too yellow."
she gagged.

"aaliyah!"

aaliyah laughed as she got up and looked through the dresses destiny had brought.
"okay okay"

"this one."
aaliyah held up a long white and floral dress.

destiny claps and she takes the dress from aaliyah before sitting her down at the desk.

"okay okay,how should me do your hair?"
destiny asked.

aaliyah didn't really mind putting on a pair of jeans and and sneakers but destiny of course had to do the most.

it was what she did best.
so aaliyah accepted defeat and let aaliyah do whatever she wan the r most of the time,just to make her happy.

"mmm,let's straighten it"
aaliyah decided,running her fingers through her curls,barely.

destiny gasped.
"yes,and let's curls it. your hairs getting so long,it's almost to your waist when it's straight. and we only straighten your hair like twice a year,so let's use this time wisely."

aaliyah nodded allowing her to blow dry her hair before taking her time straightening it.

by the time they turned on the curling iron,they had already been at work for three hours.

"so,have you talked to aaron recently?"
destiny asked cautiously as she wrapped aaliyah's hair around the wand.

aaliyah sighed as she played with the bracelet on her desk.
"barely,last week. and i wanna keep it that way."

destiny cleared her throat as she let aaliyah's curl fall.

"i got it,i understand that. but have you taken into consideration,what might happen?"
she asked.

aaliyah turned around looking at her.
"what do you mean?"
she asked.

"what if he shows up? have you thought about how you're gonna handle that situation? in front of hundreds of important people?"
destiny wondered.

"i'm not worrying about that right now destiny. i'm not about let aaron ruin this for me. if he shows up,he shows up."
aaliyah nodded.

destiny nodded as she curled the last piece of aaliyahs hair.
"good for you."

destiny brushed through aaliyah's curls before letting out a breath.
"i'm done! some of my finest work,if i do say so myself."
