Chapter 26
I wake up with the sun in my face. Dammit I forgot to close my curtains. I groan and turn over. I look over to where Lena would be but she isn't there. My brows furrow together and I sit up and look around the room. "Lena?" I get up and walk to the bathroom and no Lena. I eve walk to my closet and there is still no Lena. I stop in my tracks when I hear rustling coming from downstairs. I throw my hair up into a quick ponytail and walk downstairs following the noise. It's coming from the kitchen. I walk to the entrance to the kitchen to find Lena, Chase, and Preston all sitting there talking. Chase is cooking something for breakfast which is really nice of him. Lena says he's a good cook. He turns around to face the other two and notices me "morning Kelly." Everyone turns to face me "Morning." Lena smiles at me and Preston gets up from his chair and walks over to me and gives me a quick kiss. "Morning babe."
"Well we should get going." Lena and Chase stand up in unison. "Thanks for this breakfast Chase it was amazing." He smirks and laughs a little "thanks it was a pleasure." Lena hits his arm "Come one Jeeves." We all laugh including Chase as they start for the door. Lena turns around to face me "Actually are you two busy tonight?" "I don't think so why?" "Well Chase was invited to a big banquet tonight and we have two extra tickets. Would you guys like to join so I'm not overly bored?" Chase nudges her from the side. I laugh a little "sure why not, I have some dresses I haven't worn yet." She smiles at me "Okay! We will be here at 7:30 to pick you two up!" She gives me a quick hug and they leave.
"Well I should start getting ready it's already almost 3." "Kelly did you just hear yourself? They are coming at 7." "Preston did you just hear yourself? I'm a girl we take twice as long to get ready for events like these. So good bye!" I turn around quickly and book it upstairs to find something to wear. I walk into my closet and walk right to the back wear my dresses, well good, nice dresses sit. I hardly ever wear any of them. Mom always buys me these is case of something or they are presents from relatives or something.
I text Lena asking about the dress code and she said it's dressy but not like over the top. So that gave me some insight on what to wear. I pull out a navy blue dress with florals on it. It has a sweetheart neckline and is what drew me to it other than the color. I picked up a pair of dark blue high heels to match too. I place my things on my bed and hopped into the shower.
I get out and look at the clock and see it's almost 4:30. My eyes go big and I wrap myself in my robe. I squeeze the water out from my hair with my towel as I walk into my room and spot Preston. Minding his own business reading Vogue. "Why the hell aren't you getting ready yet?" He looks up from the magazine and puts it down beside him. "Well miss I take forever to get ready, I showered when I got here today while you were still sleeping." I roll my eyes at him "okay good for you. Now get out I need to change." He starts to act like a five year old "Awe! Why can't I stay for the show?! It's not like I haven't seen any of it before." I start to blush and get a little embarrassed "sucks for you horn dog now get out." He gets off my bed and walks towards me. I feel his breath on my neck "one way or another I will get my show." He kisses my neck and I close my eyes to the feeling as he walks out I sigh. Damn him.
I blow dry my hair and I start to stare at it contemplating on what I want to do to it. While thinking about it I walk back to my room to change into the dress. I pull the dress up over my waist and adjust it making it look better than it is. I look at my body in the dress and I'm amazed. I look perfectly shaped. The dress hits every curve at the exact point. I smile to myself and go into my bathroom realize what I want to do now. I turn on my curling iron and while waiting for it to warm up I start my makeup. I traced my upper lid with my eyeliner and apply some heavy mascara to make my eyelashes longer than a highway. I only use this mascara on occasions since it's so expensive. I apply some light pink almost a neutral lip gloss to my lips to match with the floral patterns.
As I finish my makeup my curling iron is ready. I can feel the heat radiating off of it. I grab it and start to curl my hair giving myself tight curls. After I finish curling everything I give the top of my head some volume and pull my hair into a half ponytail. I scrunch my curls and spray in some hairspray to make sure they don't fall much or at all during the time we're there. I nod to myself giving my reflection an approving nod.
I walk back out to my room and check the clock holy crap! How did it already become 6:00!? I put my shoes on in a rush and grab a nice jacket out of my closet. I put on a pearl bracelet and earrings. I give my reflection a quick look and rush down the stairs. As I hit the bottom of the steps I receive a text from Lena saying they're on their way. I sigh and sit on the couch and turn the TV on to whatever is on to watch for a little until she arrives.
I hear foot step behind me. I turn to see Preston in a light blue dress shirt, black slacks and black dress shoes. I stand up and fix my dress as I walk over to him to fix a missed button. "You look great." I smile at him "You're not too bad yourself. At least I know you can clean up well." I start to giggle as he wraps his arm around my waist as he leans in. I pull my head back "oh no you don't fresh lip gloss. Maybe later." He pulls away looking at the ground "you're lucky I love you." Of course I feel bad so I tilt his chin up and kiss him. I pull away first "and you're lucky I love you." He smiles at my remark and we are disturbed by the doorbell.
We pull away from each other as I walk to the door. I straighten out my dress and answer the door with a welcoming smile. I open the door to find Lena and Chace standing there with smiles on their faces. I see what they are wearing and they look like the instant it couple. Lena is wearing a sleek, black, body hugging cocktail dress that came to just above her knee, red heels, a black necklace and a red clutch purse. She looked amazing with her hair in a elegant bun on the side of her head and her makeup of red lipstick and a natural look on her eyes so she doesn't look cake faced. Chase was wearing black from head to toe. It went with his jet black hair and his icy blue eyes popped out more.
"You two ready to go?" I nod and look at Preston who is also nodding. "Then let's get going!" We all walk to the car and get in. My fixing my dress as I sit. Chase starts the car and we get going to this banquet.
