The Killers - part 1

chapter 16

Natalie POV

I just got off the phone from work; they wanted me on again tonight though with this late of notice i could have easily said no, but as i have no life and work is a reward for me, it means i get to get out of these four walls and explore the outer city, not much but at least i get to get out.

I stood at the wardrobe staring into the endless supply of dresses, blue or green, i just couldn’t make up my mind, didn’t know what mood i was in... hmm annoyed, but colours don’t express that. Kyrie would be wearing red, she always did for work, but me, i went crazy, over the top though still suitable.

I ended up going with the blue, i always like the blue better than green, though the green always gave change in my clothing, i generally tend to revolve around blue, though not just one shade, i go from sky blue to navy to baby blue, the majority of my clothing consisting of blue, and the occasional speckle of various of other colours.

Someone knocked on the door, she was earlier than usual. I went to the door, and like i expected in red once again. She was staring up at the roof leaning on the wall opposite the door, not even noticing that i had opened the door, mesmerised by something, who the hell knows what though, she was awesome like that.

“Eager much”

I said, that took her right out of her trance and staring right at me, her make up all done. Crap, make up, i was hopeless at using the stuff, i always tended to stuff it up somehow, no matter how simple it was, even if it was just putting foundation on, it always turned out wrong. All she did was roll her eyes and walked through, already knowing what i was going to ask her to do by just glancing at me.

She went to the bathroom, creating a loud clutter, finding everything she needed, if she was in the mood she would even do my hair. Makeup was all over the sink, i grabbed a chair and but it in the middle of the room and took a seat leaning my head back and staring up at the ceiling myself.

She started applying some powdered substance to my face, i don’t know what the hell any of this did, but i was letting her go full out with whatever she wanted to do, the floor was hers. I kept my eyes closed as she did so, applying layer after layer of various forms of makeup, this was going to be a difficult clean up.

“open”

She said, instantly opening my eyes she was standing above me with eyeliner in her hand, reluctantly i rolled my eyes back as she poked the implement near my eye as softly as she could, her hand only just touching my face, cautiously so she wouldn’t ruining the makeup she had just put on.

She moved onto the next eye, my eyes watering under the strain of keeping them open without blinking, flickering rapidly i couldn’t see till she took her hand away and i blinked a million times to bring moisture back to my eyes. Extremely dizzy i just sat there with my eyes closed.

I ended up just grabbing a hair tie and pulled my hair back, nothing fancy, i wasn’t in the mood to do anything with my hair today. To eat or not to eat that is the question, i wasn’t really in the mood for eating right now, so i just grabbed my jacket and keys, if worse came to worse i could go down to the restaurant and grab something to eat after work.

“are we walking or are you driving?”

I asked her, she just glared at me. It didn’t look like she had her keys on her, all she held was a clutch covered in sequins and at the opening a golden skull, matching her dress flowing with every step she took down the stairs. The keys could always be contained within the clutch but i highly doubted it, it wasn’t something she would generally do, normally we walk or catch a taxi, never have i been in her car other than that one time.
