"I can't believe I'm doing this..." I said almost in tears looking at Alyssa. She stood there looking into my eyes like she saw into my soul or something.
"Where do you-" Joey said walking into the room holding a big pink dress bag. "Did I interrupt something?" He laughed at us.
"She's ready," Alyssa smiled.
"What was that about?" I ask her.
"I'm envisioning you makeup! You're gonna be so beautiful!" She exclaimed jumping up and down clapping her hands excitedly. I cant help myself; I smile and jump along with her and run over and unzip the bag.
I gasp "It's... It's... gorgeous! How did you guys know what to get?!"
"Apryl knows you like the back of her hand," Tom laughed. I admire the white mermaid gown with a sweet heart neckline. There's a thin red ribbon that adds just the right amount of color to the dress without overpowering it. I hold the dress close to me as I watch Tom walk over to the kitchen. There's a quiet knock at the door and I open it to find Joe standing at the door with a bouquet of dark red roses. Our eyes meet and hold for a couple seconds. I notice a slight hurt look in his and look down at the ground.
He extends the roses in my directions and I take them from him with a slight grin. I was thinking of someway to thank him for them without creating to much more awkwardness when Alyssa pulls me by the arm toward the bedroom.
"Hi Joe. You're welcome to stay here, but you should probably go be with Steven. He's stuck over there with Apryl , and things are probably REALLY awkward," she said quickly continuing to walk toward the bedroom. I keep my eyes locked with Joe for as long as I can, but Alyssa shuts and locks the door.
"Gotta keep you a secret for now! Lets see what we can do with this face!" She says pulling my hair out of my face and securing it with a hair tie. The next thing I know the chairs spun around and I can't see what she's doing.
She puts on the usual moisturizer primers and ivory color foundation I use everyday. I watch as she opens a container with pink powder on it that she puts on my cheeks and eyelids.
"Close your eyes and keep them closed!" she orders, "I want the rest to be a surprise!" She puts some extra powders all over my face, some mascara (which I got to open my eyes for), and a ton of lipstick on in the next hour.
"And......" she says patting my skin with some type of brush on my skin, "You're gorgeous!" she shouts. I open my eyes while spins me around so I can look in the mirrors. I have bright red lips and flawless skin.
"Alyssa...I....It's...Thank you!" I say hugging her. She pushes me away "Don't smudge it!" she laughs. I turn to look at myself in the mirror. 'How did she major to make me look so pretty?' I think to myself.
"Lets go get you dress the weddings in an hour!" She shrieks. We dash out into the living room and grab the dress.
"Speed demons much?" Joey laughs. I shoot him an 'Oh please' look and shut the door behind me. Alyssa is approaching me with a brush and hair spray.
"I'm thinking updo with lots of volume and-"
"Woah, hold up! If one thing on me is going to look natural its my hair," I laugh.
"Fine..." She sighs over-dramatically rolling her eyes. She hands me the brush and I persuade it to its natural position.
"Dress time!" She claps excitedly.
"Oh joy....." I groan as she pulls me along behind her.

Author's Note:
The next part of the story will be Steven's POV of the story. Although it is not a necessity to the story, it just feels wrong to leave it out. I will write it so it is like a bonus chapter, so you may skip over it if you wish. You will not be getting the same "experience" as the readers that do read it though. If you have any suggestions or wish to be a part of the story send me a message on wattpad, leave a post on my profile page, or tweet me at @mammakin1999 or @FallenAeroAngel. I hope to have the next part up by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!
Keep Reading!
