**Claire POV**
"Babe, did you see this?" I call out to Reneé, who is currently sat getting her hair and makeup done for the GLAAD awards tonight.
"See what?" she asks, keeping her eyes closed as a woman draws the sharpest eyeliner wing I've ever seen on her left lid.
"Someone took a picture of us last night at dinner" I laugh. The woman backs up and she opens her eyes again.
"Lemme see" she whines, reaching her hand out to grab my phone from me.
"Isn't that funny?" I ask as she sits and looks, zooming in on the photos of us in her Jeep.
"We look hot as fuck" she laughs as she hands my phone back to me.
"Will you hand me that, baby?" she asks, pointing at the spindrift can sitting on the counter in front of her. I nod my head at her and stand up to grab it for her. She takes a long sip from the straw, careful not to mess up her lipstick.
"Alright, Reneé. I just have to spray you and you're good to get dressed" the woman doing her makeup says. I back away so she can finish her work, I watch her mist Reneé's face with some setting spray before she gets up out of the chair. She looks stunning, per usual.
"You're so pretty" I tell her as I casually pick my jaw up off the floor.
"Thank you, baby" she smiles at me. She had asked me if I wanted to come with her as her plus one, but I decided that I'm not quite ready for that yet. She was okay with that since her parents also flew in to be here with her tonight.
This is the first time I have come with her for an event, even though I'm not actually attending. She insisted I come sit with her for hair and makeup and it was fun, I would definitely do it again. I don't typically get to see her all done up before an event. I always get her drunk from the after party, when her hair has fallen and her makeup is smeared. I am going to the after party with her tonight though, so I am looking forward to that.
"Reneé?" a man calls from the other room "we're ready when you are"
"I'll be right back" she says, puckering her lips and making a kissy face at me. I know better than to try and give her a real kiss, I wouldn't dare mess up her lipstick. After a few moments, Reneé emerges from the next room over in an oversized black suit with a plunging neckline. I can't help but stare and in this moment I wonder to myself, am I the gayest woman alive? I must be, cause holy shit.
"How do I look?" she asks, holding her arms out and giving us all a spin.
"Wowwww" I say, probably a little too loudly as everyone in the room turns to look at me. I look back at Renee, who is blushing now at my comment.
"Looks good" the woman who did her makeup says "but we're gonna need to do something about that" she continues, pointing at the huge hickey on Reneé's left boob. Again, everyone in the room turns to look at me and now it's my turn to blush.
"So sorry, that's my bad" I mumble, causing the room to erupt with laughter. I thank my lucky stars that her parents aren't in the room with us right now because I think I would've melted into a puddle on the floor.
"Take the jacket off and come back out here, quickly, we're running out of time" the woman says, slightly annoyed I think. Reneé nods and goes to change again, I look at the time on my phone. She has about an hour to be ready and seated at the event, they're definitely cutting it close. She rushes back into the room wearing the suit pants and a tan push up bra, not that she needs the extra support. I try my hardest not to stare at her sitting in the chair in front of me, jesus christ.
