A Little Cinderella Moment

Chapter 108

Today is the day. Today is New Year's Eve. Today is the day of my best friend and my boyfriend's birthday party. I finished helping Jen set up yesterday and what she had planned is something out of this world for a birthday party. If she fails at being a lawyer, (which I highly doubt it) she should go into becoming an event planner.
Jen asked me yesterday if I could sing a song at the party tonight and of course I said yes. But I made her give me her word that it was just one song so I can enjoy the celebration too. I asked her if I could come a little earlier to speak to the DJ who will be playing at the party to arrange something with him. But Jen said no that she will have it covered and I don't have to worry about any of the details as she will sort it out.
I had some time to kill before I had to start getting ready for the party, so I lost myself into my music until then. I changed a few lyrics, wrote some new ones and redid the melody as it didn't feel right. I texted Chase throughout the day to see how he was feeling about tonight because he hardly spoke about it to me and all he said was he will be happier when I get there so I can be in his arms once again. I didn't get to see Chase yesterday because he went to the office today to put in a few hours of work.
Dad too went to the office yesterday and from what he told me him and Chase are working on an account together. Dad spoke to me about everything they went over at work. I'm just so happy that Dad has owned up to his mistake with Chase and is repairing what he broke and now they are getting along not just for the business but for me too.
I busied myself in the morning with my music, come the early afternoon I had a little something to eat and wrote the rest of my report up for Earth Science. By the time I had finished the report it was late afternoon, early evening. It was time to start getting ready for the party. It may be the holidays, but I always find time to squeeze in some schoolwork where needed.
I'm so happy I managed to find time to go dress shopping for tonight's occasion and I had my dress before Chase got me the earrings and I think they will go together perfectly. Pulling the dress bag out of my closet, pulling the dress out of the bag I go and hang the dress in the bathroom while I'm in the shower. My dress is a 1920's emerald, green flapper dress with black beaded fringe trimming, black and gold beaded detailing, and what looks like a peacock coming across the body. I'm pairing it with not just my new earrings but also my great grandmother's pearl necklace, a simple gold cuff bracelet, nude-colored stockings, and black laced T strap heels tied by black organza ribbon. After hanging up my dress in the bathroom I get everything else out that I need for the party tonight and place them on my bed.
Once I feel like everything is together, I head towards my bathroom to have a shower until there was a knock on my door. I let the person on the other side of the door that they could come in and the door opens.
Selena pops her head in, "Hey I'm here to get ready with you." She walks in with a dress bag herself and another bag with some other stuff.
"Oh, that's great yay. You can help me with my makeup. I'm about to head in to get a shower if you wanna hang your dress in the bathroom to steam then you're more than welcome to."
"Perfect thanks I'll do just that," Selena takes her dress out of the dress bag and goes to hang it up in my bathroom. From what I can see of it, it looks like a silver halter dress, but I can't tell much else until she puts it on after my shower.
Selena puts on some music and starts to do her hair while I go and have a shower. While I'm in the shower I buff, polish everything I need to and shave my legs. When I am done in the shower, I wrap myself in a towel and drape a bathrobe over me too and I wrap my hair up to dry before I blow dry it and get it perfect for tonight.
As I come out of my bathroom Selena is singing dancing around my room listening to 'Bad Blood' by Taylor Swift. Feeling in the party mood already I decide to join her in this moment of fun.
Once I dried my hair, we got to work on doing ours. Selena had this sort of half updo, down do and it shaped her face beautifully. My hair was a little bit more challenging. Selena has put my hair up in a high ponytail but with tendrils gelled and sprayed to hell around my forehead and almost like glued to my skin. We were both happy with how our hair looked so we decided to do our makeup.
For my makeup Selena helps me go with a 1920's look with an even coverage of foundation and some concealer, dark green smokey eyeshadow, thick eyeliner, a light brush of blusher, and a deep red lipstick. Selena then finished it off spraying some form of solution over my face and she was saying it helps keep the makeup looking good and fresh and it won't sweat off. Oh, that's good. Looking myself in the mirror I look like a totally different person. I can't believe how good I look, and all Selena used was makeup. Selena went with a bolder look with a mixture of silver and grey smokey eyeshadow look cat winged eyeliner bronzed cheeks I think that's what it is and a darker red lipstick to mine. I swear I am jealous of her she looks stunning a natural beauty with and without a ton of makeup.
Both happy with how our hair and makeup looks it is now time we got dressed. I suggested Selena to get dressed first as I wanted to send a text to Chase as we've not spoken much since the fallout with my dad the other day.
The Love Of My Life: Hey Chase, me and Selena are almost ready and then we will be on our way. I can't wait to see you; I've missed you these last couple of days. Yeah, we've called and texted throughout the day since but it's not the same as being held in your arms and that's where I plan on being all night long. I Love you.
Satisfied with how it reads I hit send and wait for his reply. As I lock my phone Selena walks out of my bathroom wearing her dress. She's wearing a silver halter dress with a plunging neckline that comes to her midthigh, and I must say she looks smoking hot in her dress. A little bit risqué with an accidental slip but she has the boobs to pull it off. I tell her exactly what I thought, and she reassured me that there will be no nip slip as she has used some tape to hold the dress in place. She does think of everything. With my phone in hand, I walk into the bathroom to get my dress on. Just as I shut the door, I get a text notification from Chase.
My Perfect Girl: Oh, sweetheart that was music to my ear. I am so sorry I have not made much of an effort to see you and spend some time with you. I've been working my ass off at work and with football training and I have neglected time with you. But tonight, that changes. As soon as I spot you in my house, my side you'll stay. I can't wait to see you too. It has been too long since I felt your lips on mine. I will rectify that as soon as my eyes see you. See you soon sweetheart. I love you too.
Chase is unlike any other guy I have ever known admitting when he has done wrong, telling me how he really feels, and is not afraid to show his emotions. Taking my time getting my dress on I check to make sure I've not messed my hair up or smudged my makeup. Dress is zipped up and I do one final check in the mirror, and I see no smudges and my hair is still in place. Walking out of the bathroom to put on the final touches I see Selena sat on my bed putting on her strappy heels she looks absolutely drop dead gorgeous Lucas is a lucky guy. But if he ever hurts my friend, I am not afraid to hurt him, and the same goes to Greg too. Selena finishes her look with her pandora bracelet, simple hoop earrings and a pear drop diamond necklace, while I put on my stockings shoes and my jewelry. When we are both finished and ready we grab our clutches and we head on downstairs to find Dad standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting for us, to drive us to the party.
