the light in his dark

Part 4

"Wake up my little love" i can barely record what happen around me. After a few blinks i reconize Kellie who's laying over me with her chin on mine. Her eyes are full of stars and i love waking up like this. 

I immediately close my eyes because the sun coming through my window burns my eyes. I feel the bed move and I hear kellie walking in the room laughing at my reaction

"com on we're gonna be late" just by that sentence and her voice i know she is smiling and that made me smile too because she's happy and look foward for tonight. 

I get up and walk to the bathroom. Kellie had placed my dress on the door with all the my other stuff. I take out my hairbrush, some rubber bands and some hair clips. I love to make myself pretty by doing my hair, my makeup and finishing my well dressed with a nice dress or a chick outfit. I decide to leave my hair loose but I still prepare an elastic to tie my hair when I eat. I'd rather do my makeup light because i want to be natural and i know i wouldn't want to take it of tonight if i have a few drink. I grab some jewelrys, 3 bracelets for my left wrist, rings I put on several of my fingers and a necklace. I don't put anything around my right wrist because I have a tattoo that I did in common with my mom. It's in the shape of a bracelet. Since I did it with her, three years before she died, I've never put anything back around this wrist. Hanging from my necklace, there is my mom's ring. She wore it all the time and since she left I have left it around the necklace. It's like she's here and at the same time I'm sure I won't lose him.

I stare at myself in the mirror and at the same time kellie walk in the bathroom and when she sees me her smile grow even bigger. I chuckle at her reaction and i wish i had the same reaction. I look down at myself and sight before looking again in the mirror. 

"I think i'll change into a jeans" 

"No" 

"bu-" she cut me off

"no Wen stop it. You look absolutly stunning in that white dress." i open my mouth but before i can say something she speak again. 

"every single person you ever meet has an issue with their body. Whether they are really really long or really really short or have great hair or have perfect hair. Every single person will have a part of their body that they do not like. We are living in an era where everything we see every single day on our phones is not true. It's not correct. And you have to remember that. You are just a body and it grows the way that it grows and we are ever so slightly being conditioned to believe that everything is naturally perfect and just isn't." she wraps her arms around my waist and put her chin on my shoulder. "my hope for you is that you give your body a rest and let it be" 

I look down because i know she's right and i appreciate how patient she is with me

 "thanks" i whisper

"alright now put your chin up and walk like the stunning girl that you are" 

I laugh before putting my heels on my feets. 

After 2 minutes the door opens and Kellie throws herself on Travis's amrs. He chuckles at her reaction and i smile watching them. He puts her down after kissing her and walk toward me, always standing in the doorfram. 

"Hi. I assume you are Wendy" He offers me a big smile and extend his hand "it's nice to finally meet you" 

i gently accept his hand and shake it "it's nice to meet you too. Kellie don't stop talking about you. It's cool to finally put a face on the name" i chuckle 

"i can say the same" he chuckles too. He invites us to enter and laids us toward the dinner table where i see a man already on a chair. 

His house is really big and intimidating. I'm not used to large houses or apartments. My mom and I were living in a small apartment on a remote downtown street. She had three jobs so she could pay the rent and buy us food. Even when she was sick, she always made sure I had at least 3 meals a day. After her death I lived in Kellie's house. It wasn't the biggest house but for me it was huge. So yes, I'm easily impressed with small things. Or in that case big things.
