Hannah was rummaging around in the closet while her best friend was leaning against the headrest of the guest room bed. She knew that she had to get Stella dressed to the nines. Almost as if her best friend was going to the Oscars. That's how perfect she had to look to show Chloe up.

She suddenly spotted the perfect dress for the occasion. It was a sleeveless turquoise dress with white petals trickling down to the hem.

"What about this?" Hannah turned to show Stella the dress in her hands.

Stella let out a sigh, shaking her head, "I don't think it fits right."

"Bullshit." Hannah rolled her eyes. She threw the it on the bed before smoothing it out, "it'll show off your boobs."

"Hannah!" Stella whined, snatching the dress.

"What?" Hannah chuckled, crossing her arms, "I'm just saying you'll look hot, and Chloe will be jealous since she has itty biddies."

"Really? You think mine are bigger?" Stella glanced into the mirror on the wall. She shook her head and turned back with a frown, "it doesn't matter."

"Girl she's an iron board. Flat," Hannah threw her hair up in a messy ponytail, "now sit. Let me do your makeup."

"Yes ma'am." Stella joked.

Hannah borrowed a chair from the kitchen and sat on the edge in front of her. All of their makeup supplies were scattered across the desk. Hannah wasn't sure how much make up Stella brought or had with her, so she brought just about her entire collection. Make up and shoes took up most of the space of what she brought on her trip to Dortmund.

"Your boyfriend was being an asshole earlier." Hannah huffed.

Stella shrugged her shoulders, "your cousin hasn't talked to me since."

"Jules would talk to you," Hannah smirked as she started blending the foundation into Stella's skin. She was going for a soft and dewy look that would make Stella look like she was glowing.

Stella slapped her knee, "you have to stop bringing up Jules. He's a flirt and I'm taken."

"Yeah yeah," Hannah waved the hand not holding the make up sponge, "I just think that sometimes you forget how beautiful and great you are. Don't let Gio take that away from you."

"He's not." Stella felt defensive before sighing, "do you think he is?"

"It doesn't matter what I think," Hannah shrugged went back to blending the foundation, "but it seems like he got too comfortable."

"If Christian needed a place to stay in California, would you let him stay with you and Hunter?"

"Hell no!" Hannah exclaimed as she started to lightly contour Stella's face. 

"And why is that?"

Hannah gripped her brush harder, "too much history for us to share a space in front of my fiancé."

"What if Gio still wants Chloe? Even just a little bit?"

"He better not, but if he does, then maybe he's not the right guy for you."

She didn't want the brunette to worry, "but he wouldn't do that to you. He loves you more than anything in this world."

Stella wiped at her eyes, earning a frown from her friend. Hannah patted some more foundation on and went towards the blush. She loved the N.A.R.S  Orgasm blush. It always created the perfect rosy look.

"I wish you were coming with me."

"And see that bitch!?" Hannah placed a firm fist on her hip, "I'd kill her on sight."

"I might do the same. Are you sure you're fine being with Christian for the night?"

"I can handle your brother."

"I bet you can," Stella smirked.

"Shut up," Hannah smacked her shoulder, "we're going to focus on Carolina and Joah."

"They can handle themselves maybe you two should burry the 'ole hatchet."

"Alright miss country girl" Hannah huffed grabbing her eyeshadow palette, "I'll see what he has to say, but he really hurt my feelings last time we talked."

"I know. He just wants you to be his."

Hannah paused, making Stella peek one eye open. She glanced out the window for a moment. She couldn't help but think about Christian and the life they had always talked about. It was everything she had ever wanted, but now her future looked quite different.

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that I wish life was easier."

"I'm thinking that you still haven't told me the whole truth about Hunter."

Hannah's jaw twitched, "I told you we're good."

"You were in jeans and tennis shoes. You were not good."

Hannah waved her hand. She did not want to talk about what happened. She wasn't sure if she ever would be ready to talk about it though. Hunter had robbed Stella's boyfriend of the opportunity to be an uncle. It was something they knew Gio was looking forward to after spending time with Avery.

"Another time. You need to focus on what you're going to say to Chloe when Gio goes to the bathroom. The man has the tiniest bladder."

"What I'm going to say?"

"Yeah like 'what the fuck are you doing bitch' you know, something like that. Catch her off guard."

"But what if she tells Gio?"

"Then she's a fucking whore!"

"Whore?" Carolina had opened the door and stood with a confused face, "what's that?"

Hannah looked at her cousin, jaw dropped, "oh shit. Don't repeat any of that."

"It's a bad word, Caro. Specifically for a girl," Stella explained.

"Are you talking about Chloe?" Carolina grinned evilly.

Hannah wiggled her eyebrows, "possibly."

"Oh, is this what you're wearing Stella? It's beautiful!" Carolina asked after spotting the dress on the bed.

"I think so. we'll see after Hannah finishes up my face."

"Can you do my makeup after?" Carolina asked Hannah with a bright smile.

Hannah nodded excitedly. She had always hoped to be able to do make up and hair with Carolina. However, the youngest Reyna was more into soccer—Hannah completely understood since Gio and Joah also played.

"Of course! Who are you trying to look cute for?" She teased.

"No one! I just want to see what I look like with makeup."

Hannah's eyes narrowed spotting a slight blush creeping into Carolina's cheeks. She knew that Caro was lying. She wanted to look cute, and Hannah was pretty sure she knew why.

"Alright. Give me a sec with Stella, okay? Go listen in on Gio and then come tell us what he's talking about."

"Okay!" She scurried off in a rush.

"Does she have a crush on Chris?"

"Yeah. She's been very blushy at the mention of him," Stella snorted.

"Not her falling for a Pulisic too. The same one."

"Are you almost done?" Stella fidgeted in her chair.

Hannah nodded, "go changed. You're gonna look great."
