Amber Liu (o.s & s.s)

Fancy Dinner

You woke up and searched for the warmness that was once coming from your girlfriend's, Amber's, body. You couldn't find it and you opened your eyes to be in the bed, alone. You sat up and noticed that her car keys were gone. "This is weird..." You thought out loud. You felt around on your nightstand for your phone, but you hand fell on something else. You looked to see what this mysterious object was.

You picked it up in your hands and examined it. It was an envelope that had a neatly written "A" on the back. You opened it with wonder and curiosity. It was a letter. You began to read. It said,

"Hello my love. I have a surprise for you later and I will be picking you up at seven. See you then,
-Amber."

You smiled and giggled at this. But... What would you wear? Where would you be going? The questions filed into your head as you put the letter back into its envelope. You swung your legs over the bed onto the floor. Then, you made your way into the bathroom, deciding to freshen up and take a bath.

When you got into the bathroom, there were two boxes laying on the sink. They both had tags on them. The one on top was slightly smaller and it said, "Freshen Up." You opened it and their were bath bombs, body soap, lotion, and perfume inside. The other tag on the box on the bottom said, "Wear this." You opened this box to lay your eyes on a beautiful, red dress and black heels. Also, their was a pair of... Underwear? You rolled your eyes and smiled at her actions.

You decided to bathe and then, get ready.

-after bath-

You dried your body and put your hair into a towel wrap. You put on the underwear that your girlfriend had gotten you and then decided to text your friend for makeup and hair help. You texted her and told her the situation. She said she'd be coming over in ten minutes or less and that she wanted your hair dry, so she could, in her words, "Make you look irresistible."

You dried your hair and put on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. You checked the time and it read, '3:18p.m.' You sighed, the time slipping by slowly. After a few minutes, you heard a loud knock on the door downstairs. You rushed downstairs and opened the door to be greeted by your best friend. You two greeting one another and gave each other hugs, then you two went to your room to begin the makeover.

But, before beginning, you showed your best friend the outfit that your dear Amber had assigned you to wear that night. "Oh, that's sexy!" She smirked, stroking the dress and shoes. You smiled. "I have a good feeling about tonight and I'm very excited." You said, smiling wider. She smiled at you, the excitement written all over your face. "Well, let's get started, shall we?" She said, taking the outfit from you and laying it out on the bed.

She started off with your hair. She decided to curl it and braid one strain up, pinning it behind your ear. Then, the makeup. You personally never enjoyed wearing a lot of makeup and occasionally did, but today, you didn't mind. In fact, you were excited to see what your friend was going to create. Your heart fluttered and filled with much more excitement.

She applied a thin line of eyeliner, slightly winging it on both sides, making sure that it was perfect and even. Then, she put mascara on your eyelashes, making your eyes pop. She applied a light layer of foundation and blush. Then, to complete this, she put on bold, red lip stick on your lips and glossed them after.

After this, she helped you get the dress on, from your feet so you wouldn't mess up your hair or makeup. When you had it in an appropriate place, she zipped up the back for you. You smiled. She pulled you to look at your reflection in the mirror and you were amazed by what you saw. You looked absolutely stunning and you barely recognized yourself. You turned a little, admiring what the mirror displayed. You turned back to your friend who was also smiling. You pulled her into a big hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! So so much!" You exclaimed. "You're welcome but, I can't... Breathe." She said, faintly. "I'm sorry!" You said, letting her go. You both laughed at your actions.
