The Register

Chapter 7

"what about your show?" Hannah asked. Shit! Completely forgot about that.
"Too late. It's 5 now"Hannah said yawning as she turned her head to watch the clock.
"Oh no!"I pressed my eyes tightly. How could I forget!
"Don't worry. Lead the way and let me  dress you" Hannah said and raised her hands up towards the stairs.
"I want to help you"I said stubbornly.
"No"
"I want to help you"
"I said no"
"And I said, I want-"
*Pipiiiiiii*
A car's horn distracted us from our little argument.
"Daddy is in" I exclaimed and rushed to the kitchen.
"Aunt Lisa! Aunty, daddy is in oo!"I yelled as I enter the kitchen to find her carrying bowls of different dishes, some of the dishes were colourful dishes from different countries on a tray. Hannah and I took the big tray from her.
Aunty Lisa rushed to the windows of the kitchen to check.
"It is..but there's another car. It must be them! It must be them!"she squealed and I saw Hannah's face light up.
"Quickly girls, send this to the dining table and I will take care of the rest. Emmanuella, go and dress."she throws her hands up in a way for sacking us from the kitchen and we both hurried to the dining table with the tray.
"Quick, let me help you dress up"Hannah said as we put the tray down. I hear the car park and I rushed to the living room only to see Daniella scrambling out of there nearly bumping into me.
"Let's go"I gestured and held Hannah's hands and we three practically ran upstairs to our various rooms. Hannah followed me because she insisted on dressing me up but I knew she just wanted to style my long black hair which she considered very beautiful.
When I entered my room, I fell on the bed. I didn't want any pressure. I just wanted to have dinner and sleep but guests always have to come here for the sake of watching our 'mansion house or castle's whatever. I will just miss the dinner and tell daddy I wasn't feeling too good.
"Hey"Hannah said in a hurry.
"What"I raised my head to look at her.
"What are you waiting for. Get dressed"she said anxiously. You know what, I don't care.
"Ah, I remember you insisting on dressing me. Oya this is my body. Take and dress"I said sarcastically. She rushed to my huge wardrobe.
Guess she took me serious.
Hannah moved clothes aside finding it difficult to pick one.
"You better not mess up my clothes"I warned closing my eyes. Even though my eyes were closed, I could feel Hannah roll her eyes at me.
"I like black by the way"I stated. I could hear her squeal as I heard the wardrobe door closing. I opened my eyes and raised my head slightly  to see Hannah standing before me, holding a black sparkling dress. It was a halter gown but it had a slit on the side. Ohh, This extravagant dresses for guests. I don't even remember wearing this kind of dress but it was certainly beautiful. I saw pure joy in Hannah's face as she pushed the gown on me giving one of her biggest smile. I sighed and got up to dress. That was when I heard laughter downstairs. Oh no, they are now in the house. Shoot! Hannah helped me wear the dress and I must say, I looked incredible. The style of the dress really outlined my upper body from neck to stomach with the rest as gown from waist to my foot and the slit, from my knee down. I look at myself through the mirror smittened by my look. I feel like a princess...a 'no nonsense' princess. I stared at myself for sometime looking at the dress.This dress...it gives this mysterious, murder, powerful and dominating vibe.
"Awww you look awesome."Hannah clapped her hands like a child. She is so cute when she does that. She held my shoulders and sat me down on the chair. She let my long hair fall on my shoulders and made some curls on it. She clipped it with black hairpins that have been decorated with silver flowers.
"No makeup"I stated firmly.
"I wasn't going to put it on anyway"she replied.
This was an everyday thing. Always dressing up for guests.
I stood up admiring how the curls shook as I made slight head movements.
"Wow Hannah, you could be a good designer or whatever oneday oo"I smiled at her.
"Thanks. Wear your shoes and let's go"
"I feel like I'm going to a ball to find my prince charming" I laughed as I wore my short silver heel shoes.
"Well maybe one of those boys can be your Prince charming then"she said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes at her.
"We better get going"I said.
"Oh yes"
