Meeting Skies

Chapter 10

We left the mall around 5. It was so tiring, all that walking and trying on stuff. I enjoyed the part where we got frozen yogurt. I got strawberry with a bunch of gummy bears sprinkles and a cocoa stick through it. We're waiting for the valet to give Nicole her glossy red BMW. My arms are tired, I'm carrying 18 bags, my hands are full, so are Nicole's.
I feel really bad, although she did not let me see the receipts I've been making the calculations of the price tag in my head. She spent $12,385.48. She bought herself stuff too and I'm pretty sure she spent more on herself. Which makes sense. Her dad is the owner of some electric company. He's a entrepreneur who's had great success.
When the car pulls up Nicole hands the bags to the guy that just drove her car, he takes mine too and puts them in the back seat.
"Make sure you separate them, please."
Nicole demands as she's putting on her seat belt.

"How does lunch sound?"
"I gotta get home Nicole."
I don't but I would feel worse knowing she bought me clothes and food.
"No you don't, nobody's waiting at home for you."
"How do you know that."
" I ran into your mom earlier they went to the casinos, said they would be gone for tonight."
Of course mom did. I swear they tell me nothing.

"I should still make sure no one will steal or anything."
"Well I'm taking you to my house then."
I'm getting stressed out. I just want to go home and get into my pj's and watch a movie in my room. And go to sleep late.
"Nicole please."
"Sorry love, now quit complaining I'm helping you. Trust me."
"Ok."

We're pulling up to her drive way. It was the type of driveway were it goes all the way up to the house and then makes a circle. She parks in front of the house. One of her butlers gets the keys and takes the car to the back. I always try to remember their names but I never can. I only remember Grant, Manuel, and Esteban, and the other four I can't remember. The maids are easier, probably because I like talking to them, they're really nice. Their from Mexico and I speak fluent Spanish. Yeah they speak English but I like talking to them in Spanish.

She tells Esteban to get the bags and take them up to her room. When we walk in she heads straight to the kitchen. There was Maria and Patricia emphasis on the cía . Maria was behind the sizzling stove and Patricia was on the counter chopping food up.
"Mmm Maria it smells great, what is it?"
"Little girl how do you not know, I've cooked this many times."
"What is it?"
"Squash, with broccoli, corn and bits of fajita."
"Sounds scrumptious."
"Ay niña your not going to offer anything to Elnore."

"Do you want anything darling."
Patricia ask me heading to the fridge.
"I'm fine thank you."
"Ok, now you two go on up well call you when the food is ready."
"Actually Elenore has plans."
I do?.
"Does he now?"
Nicole walks over to both of them and starts whispering something and I can't hear over the sizzling.
"Oh ok, we'll go get him ready then, what are you waiting for go on."
Maria shoos her out of the kitchen.

Nicole grabs my wrist and takes me into the big hallway. She takes me up the stairs on the left side of her house.

She opens the two doors that enter her bedroom and kicks her heels off. She looks at the bags that lay on her bed and starts looking through them. She's separating them. I head to her balcony to see the sun about to set. She has the best view in her house.

"You need to freshen up,", she hands me a towel and leads me to her restroom. Her towels are the nicest towels I've ever seen. They're soft pink and have her name stitched in them on ever side and they're as soft as a cotton ball. Once I was in the restroom I lock the door. Because her shower has glass so if someone were to accidentally walk in they would see all of me.
After the shower I pat myself dry don't know what to do. I'm not walking out with a towel around my waist I would feel uncomfortable, it could fall at any moment.
"Umm Nicole!"
I yell.
"Yes!"
"What do I do now."
"Well are you done?"
"Yes but I'm not coming out with this towel."
"You're such a baby, your fit so why are you stressing."
"I know I am but the towel could fall at any moment."
"There's a robe in the closet."
I walk over to one of her walk in closets and grab the most manliest robe I can find. Luckily she had a white one.

I walk out to see that Nicole is doing her makeup.

"Are we going out?"
I ask her hoping she says no.
"No."
Thank god.
"You are."
This is stressful. For a second I was hoping we could watch movies, but she scheduled something for me.
"Where?, with who?"
"It's a surprise don't worry"
I sigh and look at her 80 inch Samsung tv.
"Well some other time."
I whisper to myself.

"Well what are you doing still standing there?, you have to get ready, go!"
I walk over to the outfits Nicole bought me, she had already picked which ones she wanted me to wear because they were laid out on her bed. The rest of the clothes was just on her fur couch.

"I though the black one would look great on you but now I'm reconsidering the navy blue."
I grab the navy blue with the shoes and boxers she bout me and head to the restroom. The clothes was beautiful. I don't think I've ever owned any type clothing this beautiful. I put it on and look at myself in the mirror. I head out to see her other maids Rosario,Luciana, Patricia, Maria and the butler Esteban.
"Wow."
Rosario whispers.
"I did good right?."
Nicole ask them.
"Darling you did great."
Maria softly expressed.
We stand there and they're inspecting me.
"Now Esteban give him one of your haircuts."
"Wait what?"
I snap
"Don't worry he's a pro, he has a degree in Cosmo."
Esteban takes me to another room and makes me change out of my clothes and into a robe again. That made me mad.

He pulls out his scissors. He must cut Nicole's dads hair because they had a room for it. With a mirror shears, hair dryer, and a bunch of other hair products. Even a chair that you would see at a salon.

Esteban starts trimming and cutting away.
He made me face away from the mirror. I guess he wanted me to see the final result, not the process.

When he's done he turns the chair, my heart is pounding, only because I could see all the big chunks of hair on the floor. I look into the mirror to see the fade on both sides . The fade only followed up to the top of my ear.

"You look marvelous."
Esteban says in his Italian accent. He hands me the clothes and makes me change again. Then he walks me over to living room where everyone is at. They're all in one straight line, just staring at me come down the stairs. Their eyes are focused on me, and they have this huge smile slapped across their faces.

"You look hot."
Nicole exclaims. I look down at my shoes and back at her.
"You look very handsome dear."
Maria adds grabbing my hand.
"I wish you the best of luck tonight. Girls in the kitchen come on."
She snaps her fingers and they all walk away.

"Wait you need something before you leave."
Nicole grabs my hand and takes me back up to her room. We're in her second walk in closet. She calls it her glam room.

"You need to smell feminine, because you are you know."
She heads to her table with makeup and grabs a bag and hands it to me. When I open it I see a pink box with the letters Ariana Grande across on a gold plate.

"It's a little something I picked up."
This made my day, I've always wanted to own one but I couldn't. Yeah it's only worth $50 but I got other stuff to pay.
"You got me her perfume!"
"Yes."
I open the box and there's the actual size perfume with a travel size and a lotion. Nicole takes it out and sprays it on me. The scent of cotton candy and flowers. The scent was beautiful.
Nicole is pampering me when we hear the door bell ring.
"It's time!"
She squeals.
"Time for what?."
"You'll see, BERNARDO GET THE DOOR!"
I'm getting scared but I kind of already know where this is going.
Nicole grabs my yanks me up from the bed and takes me to her stairs.
He was there at the front of the door. Wearing his nice black tux, hair combed to perfection. His jawline is still outlined. I see him look up and have a open mouth smile, showing of his perfect white teeth.
Nicole pushes me so that I can start walking down the stairs.
"You look stunning."
Alex tells me grabbing my hand.
"So do you."
Nicole runs to the bottom and snaps a picture with her camera. I was caught off guard.
"You ready to go?"
He ask me. I'm not, I don't even know where on earth he's taking me.
"Sure. Let's go."
