Meet me at Midnight

Chapter 9: February

First thing Ra did when they left was take me into the bathroom for a nice warm bubble bath while he went through my closet and tried on my skirts. "What do you wear with this?" I turned to see him in my ankle length brown faux leather pencil skirt with a slit to the upper thigh on one side.

"That looks better on you than me, I wore it once to a cowboy themed party with cowboy boots and a way too tight t-shirt." I laughed "the people who invited me were very closed minded and it bugged me."

"Can I keep it, it makes my ass look fabulous." He turned around to look at himself in the floor length mirror against the one wall. "Still have the boots?"

"Yes, I got several pairs not knowing which pair to wear, they should all be in the closet. What's the occasion?"

"School Dance, I'm going with some friends as a group thing not date."

"Are they fellow pack mates?"

"No, they tend to tease me." He came back in "what about this?" He had found one of my light brown suit jackets and a button up white shirt.

"That looks good, it compliments the variety of browns in the skirt." I pointed at the bathroom cupboard my unopened makeup's in there."

"Dude really?" He opened the cupboard with excitement "jackpot, but do I wear a tie or leave it unbuttoned."

"Depending on the look you're going for, if you're going for a formal or business look wear a tie."

"I hate formal, I prefer the classic Hollywood style,"

"Same here, ever thought of wearing a corset? It would look nice under that jacket, then you could leave the shirt unbuttoned."

"I like that idea, do you have any corsets?"

"No but mom would know where to get the best ones, she found that skirt, she's a blast to shop with, Dad too just Mom has a better fashion sense then Dad."

"Dad is taking me to a soccer game Friday, I've never been." He smiled "I've never had a family that's proud of me."

"You're my hero." I batted my eyes making him laugh "about the pack mates don't let what they say or do bother you." I leaned back into the warm water "I found it pisses people off better than revenge."

"Really," he looked over at me with one eye done "how do you do that, get it to stop bothering you."

"Be proud of you, I believe it's a self esteem issue that makes you care what others think."

"I have a crush on one of my classmates."

"Yeah, they cute?" I chuckled "better question are they in the community or not."

"I don't know if he is or not." Ra was nervous but turned to finish his other eye.

"My ex is male, Mom and Dad and Taya all love him. That is only an issue to close minded Jack asses with self respect issues." I took a breath "Also... You're never going to know anything about him if you don't ask him.  Just be friends first, that is usually the easiest"

"Wait," he turned around again "self respect issues, explain that theory."

"When you have no self respect you set up rules in your head that you believe all humankind must live by. Then when you have confirmed to yourself that you follow them perfectly you use that as the self respect you lack.... Kinda like I'm good because I... yada yada yada..."

"Thought about this a lot have you?" He smiled

"Yes, that looks good, a touch of color outside of the brown."
