Chapter 21
It was 4:55 and Maya decided to start her makeup. "So, do you want natural or smoky eye?"
"It does not matter, whatever you think." Riley was laying back with her eyes closed.
"You know, you are suprisingly calm. You have been wanting to go on a date with him for years." Maya applied the primer.
"I know him on a more personal level now. Don't get me wrong he still gives me butterflies but, it isn't difficult to talk to him anymore."
"I'm going to do a natural look. Nothing to crazy, besides something tells me he prefers you natural." She grabbed the brightener for under her eyes. "And, that's true y'all click easily. And, I guess you two have been living together." The blonde formed a triangle with the brightener underneath her eyes and began to blend. "Won't that be weird?"
"What will?"
"What if y'all start dating and y'all are already living together? Or what if y'all decide not to date and y'all will still be living together?"
"First, enough with the y'alls. That was like 4 in a small sentence. Secondly, i'm not going to worry about it. I told him that I wouldn't live here forever, i'm not going to do that to him." Maya grabbed the powder and brush. "I don't want to have to live with him. I want him to want to live with me. Does that make sense?"
"Tuck your lips in." Riley did as instructed and felt the soft bristles brush her face. "Riles, something tells me that he wants you to."
Topanga hopped into the conversation, "No kidding. If he didn't want it to be permanent why would he have hung up stuff on the walls."
"I don't know." mumbled the brunette, "Maybe he wanted me to be comfortable, ya' know feel at home." She was still laying back with her eyes closed and they popped open when there was another knock on the door. "Mom, if you'd be so kind as to get the door."
Topanga stood up and went to the door. "Riles, where is your bronzer brush?"
"Sign please."
"Surprise, surprise. Another package for Riley." The mother shut the door and locked the deadbolt then passed the package to her daughter. She unwrapped it quickly and there was another note.
Cinderella needs her shoes.
"Oh God." She took the lid off and gently placed it next to her. "These are gorgeous! Holy crap!" The brunette lifted a pair of faux suede zipper booties.
"Can you walk in those heels?" The mother had a look of worry.
The pointy toe and stilleto didn't bother Riley, "I will find a way!" She pulled out a pair of maroon panty hose. "Seriously, this outfit is adorable. I don't think he did this by himself." She turned her eyes towards Maya.
"Lean back, come on it is 5 and we have to leave at 6." Riley did as she was told and laid back.
"So, Maya do you have something you want to tell your best friend?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about! I'm going to do a winged eyeliner and no eyeshadow." The blonde was trying to dodge the question.
"Oh, my mistake. But, I don't recall ever mentioning my shoe or dress size to my roommate." She began to grin.
"You have to stop talking so I can do this eyeliner!"
"Yeah, both of y'all stop talking I am trying to watch this movie!" The girls slammed their mouths shut at the sound of Topanga's demanding tone. Several minutes went by and the girls walked into the bathroom to start her hair.
