Lucky

     Standing before the mirror, I scrutinised the girl staring back at me. She was dressed in a body hugging orange coloured halter dress which stopped mid thigh and a pair of white converse. Her waist length black box braids were let down, her lips were coated red, in general her makeup screamed perfection.

     Naomi had really outdone herself with my makeup, I guess taking those classes and watching those makeup tutorial videos were really doing her good. I couldn't draw perfect brows like she could, and my eyeliner was always on the top lid because I usually ended up poking my eyeballs, my eyes would begin oozing water whenever I tried to go for the lower lid. Linda had wanted me to match my dress with a pair of stilettos but I told her it would look too dramatic, Naomi too contradicted her suggestion so we settled for a pair of converse.

     Truth be told, I liked what my friends had done for me, It was definitely my style. But I had just one problem: The dress felt way too short.

"Girls, I think we should change the dress." I uttered, pulling the hem of the dress down but as I pulled it, It kept jumping back to its original length.

That earned me a wicked slap on the arm, courtesy of Linda.

"Ow..." Mildly wincing, I scowled at her.

"Best just texted me..." Naomi said as she sauntered to me, joining us before the mirror, she looked up from her phone. "He finally convinced Beau to let him drive his car."

"Who's Beau?" Linda asked, beating me to it.

"Best's older brother." Naomi replied whilst removing invisible smudges from her perfectly concealed face.

     Naomi was dressed in a backless velvet, long sleeved playsuit revealing her thighs and slender long legs, she finished the look with a pair of black ankle boots and a black choker. She was wearing her signature grey jaw length braids down and dark makeup. As for Linda, she was dressed in a denim high waisted short skirt and matching denim strapped crop top. She finished the look with a pair of strapped red heels, her curly weaves were loosely tied behind her head with a few loose strands framing her face.

"ah, we are blazing!" Naomi hollered, she turned sideways and stared at her rear end. "my paper-like flat ass even looks bigger."

Linda and I let out a guffaw.

"Be laughing oh!" Naomi nudged my side whilst rolling her eyes. "Because you got nyansh (big bums)..."

The laughter continued.

"And you Linda... You do realise yours isn't any bigger than mine, right?" Naomi added with a sheepish smile.

"Shurrup joor (shut up), before you make me ruin my makeup." Linda chuckled softly, she fanned her eyes with her hands and mildly caught the tears with her knuckles.

"Okay girls... Pictures!" Naomi squealed deliriously.

     We sidled up to each other and we took a good number pictures. Amidst the last picture, the door softly swung open and Mrs Ikechukwu's (Linda's mother) poked her head through the doorway.

"Girls?... a charming blue eyed fair skinned boy is waiting downstairs." She spoke in a 'sing-song' way.

We chuckled.
