Lisa's p.o.v

I had no idea what Elvy was up to that had even prompted her to find where I lived.
But I knew her very well and soon she would start talking.

"So Mrs. Genius start talking"

I was standing before her my arms folded before me. To answer me she rolled her eyes at me.

"Lisa be a good host and offer me at least a cup of coffee that way I won't chock on my words"

I looked at her again before getting her the cup of coffee. When she had sipped and given me that mischievous smile I got agitated.

"Elvy speak it out"

"OK OK don't claw my eyes out I'll talk. Lisa I'm here to pick you up for the party"

"Are you deaf or something girl? I told you I'm not going"

"I know Lisa but I still insist, trust me you'll see its not a bad idea after all"

We argued for what seemed like thirty minutes until I finally gave in.

"Only with one condition.."

" speak it out Lisa"

"If I find the place boring we leave immediately and I'm serious Elvy"

"OK miss its a deal. So where is your closet so we can get you dressed the party starts at 7:00pm and its already 6:00 pm."

"Elvy there's a problem"

"What is it Lisa?"

"I have no decent dress to wear to a party unless you let me put on my shorts and T-shirt"

" hell no Lisa! Are you crazy? You can't go to such a party with shorts"

"Then what do we do? Maybe I should just stay here, you go enjoy yourself"

"No Lisa I had thought of that and as a plan B I brought with me some of the things you would need. Here check out this"

With her Elvy had brought a royal blue dress , black heels that had blue straps and a striped blue black purse.

"Elvy where did you get all this things?"

"Relax Lisa, they are just second hand but from far one can mistake them to be as new as the ones from the malls.
That's what we call playing cards with life"

"Truly you are genius"

"I know girl"

Shaking my head at her cheeky smile I went in for a thorough shower before drying my hair.
Coming out I couldn't believe my eyes, Elvy was standing there in a cream dress that had laces at the shoulders leaving her skin visible under the lace, her hair fell on her shoulders and she paired the dress with black heels and also a black purse.
She had put on a red lipstick that brought out a different Elvy. To sum it all up she was beautiful.

"Don't just stand there as if you've seen a ghost, tell me how do I look?"

"A..aa.h y.oo.u you...."

"What lisa? Don't tell me you lost your voice."

"You look amazing Elvy I just can't believe it"

"Do you think Del will like me?"

"Del??...Elvy wake up from your silly dream"

"We'll see about that, now sit down so I can apply your make up I don't want us to be late"

"Oh no I'll just use my lip bum and that will do"

"Silly now sit, just you wait and see the magic of my hands"
