The World is Calm on Gala Night
Isn't weird that a year ago I was kidnapped and I'm having another gala?
My last gala.
My security has been uped. Everyone gets checked in and out.
So following tradition, Oscar and I are at Cyolidis picking our outfits. They had to close the shop because paparazzi hasn't left me alone in the slightest.
"Sofie. You sure about this? You didn't contemplate a thing... you never only have one choice." Oscar says in regards to the dress I currently have on.
I nod looking in the mirror. "This is it." I sigh.
"You've seem a bit down lately."
"A lot has been on my mind, nothing I can't handle. But I love this dress."
"It's simpler than all the ones in the past." He remarks.
"I think I want people to see me this time. Not just my dress. Which is why... I'm also doing my own hair and makeup."
"But I always-"
"Complain?" I smile.
He is honest with his words, "I like having casual conversations with you. And if I happen to be doing your service I'll take it."
"I appreciate those chats too, but this year feels different. You can still do it but I want very simple. Like foundation, contour and my hair in a nice tight ballet bun."
Oscar looks at me like I'm crazy. "Um. Okay. Whatever you'd like."
"But I want to take lucky-"
"I'm not getting in that piece of crap Cedric got you." He says and I laugh.
"Fine. We'll take your Tesla. Can we have a steak lunch?"
"Hmm I'm kinda feeling ribs."
"Honey garlic?"
"You know it!" He fist bumps me.
I grin. "Okay ribs. Now let me pay-"
"No. I'll pay for my suit. It's nothing special just grey with a plaid grey vest."
"For once we aren't matching." I look in the mirror.
"I know right? Weird." He stands at another mirror.
It it weird. Long. Blonde hair. Bright blue eyes. My dress: long sleeves. Basic evening gown style. Long. The only specials to it would be the shoulders are slightly pointy. The neck line... it stops right before my belly button. The dress is cream. With a gold floral pattern all over. The cream is nearly identical to my skin tone. So it simply looks like I'm covered in gold floral.
