Capturing Them
Chapter Sixty Seven
SangMine and Kota's moment is disturbed by a very happy and excited Gabriel. He drags me away from Kota, giving him orders to make me some lunch as I'm going to be busy, yet still relaxed for the rest of the day.
Gabriel leads me to the spare room on the top floor. Once inside my eyes scan the room, managing to take in the rails of clothing. Not just girls clothing, but guys too, along with a dresser full of different hair and beauty products and the single chair in the middle of the room. My mouth had dropped open and when I asked where all this came from, Gabriel shrugged and had said "magic."
I am directed to the chair and Gabriel immediately gets to work on my hair. Kota brings me a sandwich and bottle of water but is quickly told to shoo by Gabriel and to help with the others get everything set up.
I have no idea what he means by that.
So I sit in silence with a small smile on my face as Gabriel uses some curling tongs to curl my hair and add some bounce. When he is done, he adds a small amount of lip gloss to my lips and some concealer under my eyes to hide the dark circles, which surprises me, considering I slept really well last night.
Then I watch in fascination as, without thought, Gabriel chooses what he wants me put on, like he knows what I will be wearing, like he can see an image in his head. It's amazing to watch him like this.
"Who am I doing the shoot with first?" I ask, still sitting in the chair. I haven't seen my hair yet, Gabriel says that I need to be in the correct clothes to before I can see myself. But I can see the soft bouncy curls on and over my shoulders down to my chest.
"It's a surprise." Gabriel grins. He holds out a hanger to me with an item of clothing on it and I take it from him. I stand up and eye the material as I await for the rest to come it. When Gabriel doesn't hand anything to me, I look back to him. He's grinning, and I don't understand why.
"Where are the rest of the clothes?" I ask. Suddenly, realisation hits and tingles surface at the bottom of my spine. "I'm only wearing this?"
He chuckles and picks up a basket, taking out a pair of pink lace panties, matching bra and a pair of white booty shorts. "I wouldn't have you naked under that, I just wanted to see your reaction. Here, take these and go and put them on." He nods towards a screen he put up in the corner of the room. "Be careful with your hair."
"Yes, Sir." I laugh.
I strip down until I'm naked, quickly pulling on the light pink bra and panties before pulling on the booty shorts, similar to what cheerleaders wear under their skirts. Then I pick up the pale pink t-shirt with black writing that says 'Normal is boring'. It makes me lightly laugh to myself because we're beyond normal, which makes us not so boring.
The t-shirt hangs off my shoulder without the bandage and covers me to mid-thigh. I feel a little naked on my legs but know that I'll be fine. Collecting the clothes I just removed, I start folding them and putting them in a pile before picking them up and coming back from behind the screen.
Gabriel is gone though and I wonder how I didn't hear the door opening or closing. Or why he didn't tell me.
Setting the clothes on the dresser, I look around the room, wondering what I should do now. Do I go down stairs? Do I wait here? Do I...what do I do? A pale pink silk robe lies on the bed, catching my attention. On top is a simple piece of white paper with a wonderful scrawl on it in black pen.
