Chapter 28 - Date

"I'm ho-" Arzaylea snatched me back to our room. "Hey what the fuck? Kidnapped in my own house," I rubbed my arm at the part where she dug her long fingernails.

"Bathe," she commanded. She had rollers in her hair, and a really sparkly and tight black dress on. "Why?" I asked. "Just go!" she shrieked. "Jeez chill!" I shrieked back.

I bathed as told and just as I stepped out, Arzaylea was at the vanity table applying really red lipstick on. She had done a full on face makeup while I was in the bath for only 10 minutes.

"Put that on," a dress very similar to her's lied on my bed. I knew instantly that it was not mine. I picked the dress up and inspected it. It had very less sparkle, strapless with the dress ending right above my knee. It was also latex-ish like Ariana Grande's latex bunny suit on her Dangerous Woman album.

"I'm not wearing this," I let the dress flop back onto my bed. "Come on," Arzaylea said as if she knew I was going to say this. "Are we going to a party?" I guessed. "Mmm hmm," she blotted her lipstick on some tissue paper. "This dress is so slutty!" I said and it did not surprise her. From the mirror I could see her lift her eyebrow at me. "I'm not a slut!" I gasped. She opened her mouth to say something but Arzel's muffled voice shouted from outside. "YES YOU ARE." "SHUT UP ARZEL," I shouted back.

"Put that on Azalea, before I shove you in it," she completely ignored the shouting. "Can't I just wear jeans and a shirt?" I whined. "No," she said firmly. "Fine," I mumbled.

It took me literally 10 more minutes trying to get into the dress. "I literally need 10 bottles of lube to get into this dress." "Ask Arzel for some," Arzaylea said bluntly. "Umm ew," I cringed.

"Come here," she stood up from her seat and gestured for me to sit. I sat. She began pulling out a various assortment of brushes out of her constantly over stuffed makeup bag and some products. First she added a layer of foundation on my face and spread it around. Then she began contouring my face and I swatted her hand away. "I can do my own makeup thank you very much." She ignored me and brought her hand back to my face and dabbed her beauty blender at the contour marks. She then proceeded to put on some eyeshadow. I dodged the brush with the sparkly pigment and said, "I don't wear eyeshadow." "Bullshit, everyone does," Arzaylea said. "Fuck off," I ducked. "Fine, how about a smoky look?" She tried to improvise. I just looked at my options and stared at her. Since she had the brushes, I figured having smoky eyes is better than her turning me into a psychopathic clown to get me back. "Fine," I sighed. She smiled and got back to working on my eye makeup.

As for my lips she took the same lipstick she used. She took off the cap and observed the colour, as if it was a completely different shade last time. She looked at the stick of colour and then at me, then back at the lipstick, then me, then she shook her head. "What?" I asked. "Nothing," she pulled out another tube of lipstick. When she opened it, it was a black. Heavenly black. She twisted the bottom of the lipstick tube and the black lipstick emerged. "This one?" She asked. "Definitely," I nodded. I loved black. Black clothes, black nails, black bags, black accessories but I've always been scared to try the black lipstick out.

Before the black lipstick, she lined my lips according to its shape to make my lips more defined. She even went out of line to make my lips look bigger. Then she applied lipstick on my lips with a lip brush. She carefully painted my lips until all spaces were filled. "Done," she looked at me as if I was one Picasso's paintings.

I looked into the mirror and... not bad. Everything was done perfectly. Definitely way better than what I could do. "Nice," I said, trying not to make it sound like a compliment. "Why thank you," she bowed.

She went to her bedside table and checked her phone. "Party starts in an hour," she informed. "Great," I said partly nervous and excited to attend a party for the first time. "Oh and by the way, you're gonna need a date."
