Halley's comet

Chapter twenty-seven: In darkness she is all I see.

Tomorrow is finally the day we've all been waiting for. I was currently getting my make-up kit ready as I would be the one doing Claudia's wedding look. She was going for a slightly bold look not too much but just enough to highlight her face so that consisted of reds, nudes and black colors.

We played around with some looks the other day until we finally perfected the look she wanted.

"That is exactly how I pictured it to be." She smiled widely, looking in the mirror eyes roaming about at her reflection.

"You seriously should think about cosmetology Halley, I mean you're so good at this." I laughed shaking my head as I looked at her through the mirror.

"Nah, I can only do simple looks not those extravagant bold looks you see most of those MUA's do."

"Bullshit, yes you can if not ten times better." She smiled turning to look at me.

"I'm just saying you're seriously talented. I absolutely love this."

She went back to admiring herself in the mirror.

She kind of gave me motivation that night. I love doing hair and make-up always have since I was a little girl, first love for it was with my barbie styling doll, which then led to me doing make up looks on Billie but not without a lot of begging. And of course, she never stepped foot outside with a full face of make up as she once said:

"I'm not much of a make-up person I feel more powerful when I feel masculine."

She looked beautiful with or without make up to say the least. Both masc and fem Billie are going to be the death of me.

As I was continuing packing my make up, I opened my mouth to say something nothing coming out of my mouth except for a quick inhale.

"Hey Bil?" I finally spoke.

She looked up from her journal eyebrows raised giving me her full attention.

"I've been doing some thinking." She hmm'd a lazy smile upon her face.

"As one does." She chuckled. I rolled my eyes struggling to keep from smiling at her remark.

"No seriously, the other night Claudia brought up something about how I should go to get a cosmetology license."

"Have you come to a decision?"

"I don't know yet, I mean I love doing hair and make-up I'm starting to dabble in nails, but I've yet to perfect it. It's something that I love doing and something that I would love to have a profession in, but I'm just not sure."

"What are you not sure about?" I shrugged.

"I mean with tour and all it's going to be kind of hard juggling everything I wanna be there for you believe me nothing brings me joy than to see you having the time of your life on stage. I'll just feel bad if I decide to stay behind and pursue a career of my own."

She didn't say anything instead she moved her journal from her lap motioning me to come here. she took my hand helping me climb on the bed and onto her lap. she just looked at me with a small smile on her face moving a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Is this something you really want baby?" I looked down biting my lip now focusing my vision on my hands wringing together. she lifted my head up placing two fingers under my chin.

"Be truthful baby I want to know." my eyes bounced between hers, I nodded.

"Baby I want you to do whatever makes you happy, regardless of anything. you know you have my full support on everything."
