Between Us [COMPLETED]

16 : The Dance Night

Averyn's POV

   Tonight was the night. The dance night. I sat on a chair in front of my mirror in the room, while Helen and Dania dressed me. At first, I thought to wear a blue long sleeve blouse paired with white jeans but both of them insisted that I should wear something girly because I'm going to make a performance.

   After small bickering, I agreed with them and now smile planted on their face as they makeover me.

   After I took a shower, they ordered me to wear a short sleeve pink pastel blouse, tucked in a princess skirt that reached until my knees. The skirt colour was red with golden floral pattern.Of course, they bought it for me because my wardrobe filled with not so girly clothes.

   They started to curl my straight dark brown hair from the shoulders to the end. "Can you stand up? I want to see," Helen ordered. I stood and Helen watched me with an awe. "Makeup will make it perfect," Dania shrieked. "Not too much, please," I pleaded. Dania nodded her head and sitting me down. I'm sure I could let her handle the makeup since she was quite good by the way she looks everyday at school.

   She claimed that my eyebrows were thick and shaped nicely so she didn't have to change anything.She put on thin layer of foundation and blusher. My eyelids filled with light maroon eye shadows and thin line of red eyeliner. She curled my long eyelashes. Lastly, she put on a bright pink lipstick on my lips."Damn, you look gorgeous," she exclaimed. Helen took out her phone and snapped my pictures,giggling while looking at it back."You're incredible. I guess Darren will really fall in love with you," Dania stated while packing her makeup things.

   I looked over my appearance in the mirror. Gosh, I didn't recognize the image. Is that truly me? I looked totally different."Wait! We aren't finish yet," Helen chirped. I looked at her with furrowed eyebrows. She grabbed two black bracelets, a long red necklace with love locket and a pair of small silver earrings. She put it on me, completing the makeover. In the meanwhile,Dania picked a pair of nude black pump of mine and asked me to slip into it. I did it and struggling to keep myself in balance. Last time I checked, I didn't wear any high heels for 3 years.

   I heard someone knocked on the front door and Helen insisted to open it while Dania helped me in walking with those high heels. I looked at Dania. She looked beautiful in a blue long dress with only a sleeve. Her blonde hair tucked in an elegant bun and she wore a silver high heels. As usual,her face looks pretty with light makeup. She looks like an adult.After few minutes, I could walk as usual but still carefully because I didn't want to sprain my ankle again.

   I heard Helen's voice coming upstairs, and a familiar scent of Darren. Great, he'll be laughing his heart out seeing me like this.Then, Helen appeared in my room,with Darren. He looked handsome in his maroon buttoned up shirt paired with a pair of black jeans.His dark brown hair styled perfectly, and I was sure lots of girls would drooling over him tonight.

   "Hi," I greeted. He replied it with a smile, checking me out."Let's go! We will be late," Helen ushered. Both Dania and Helen walked out first, leaving only me and Darren. I grabbed my small black purse and put my phone and some cash in it. "Let's go," I said,hugging his arm as I was afraid I'll fell while walking. "Yeah," he stated. He slipped his arm around my waist, holding my hand with his free hand and we walked downstairs.

   As we stepped outside the house, his hand still on my waist while I was locking the door. "Let me take a picture of you guys first," Helen shrieked as she took out her phone. I gave a nervous smile as she started to take our pictures.Darren kissed my cheek, and few shutters heard. "You look damn beautiful, amazing, gorgeous,fantastic, incredible, breath-taking,cute yet sexy and made me jealous," he whispered. "Why did you jealous? Because you're not a girl so you can't dressed up like me? I'm sure Dania can help you," I teased.

   He rolled his eyes. "Lots of boys will try to hit on you," he said,staring at my eyes. "I'll run away," I answered. "Let's see if you didn't sprain you ankle again that time," he said. I elbowed him and he chuckled. "No matter how much I love you guys love birds, but we're running out of time," Dania said with crossed arms.

   "Why did you guys still here?" Darren asked with frown. "We want to make sure tonight Ave will be at the school, not in your room. We go to school with your car," Helen said. "I'm thinking of that too. But maybe after the dance night end, right?" Darren chirped, looking at me with a smirk. I pinched his arm and he let out an 'ouch' before we started fitting ourself in his car and drove to the school.
