That's What I Thought | s.m

Chapter Twenty

"Melody!" Shawn shouted from the bottom of the stairs

"Yeah?" i replied back, id just finished showering as Shawn was taking me out tonight for dinner, my legs are still sore but they're healing, meaning i'm getting better

"Hurry up, I need to shower!" he yelled back

"Shawn, i'm pretty sure there's more than one shower in this house," i chuckled throwing on shawn's robe and opening he door to see him standing behind it, causing me to jump, "Shit shawn, you scared me," i cussed, putting my hand on my heart

"Sorry hun," he laughed and kissed my cheek, "Is that my robe?"

"Oh.. yeah.. sorry, i should of asked you but if you don't want me to wear it i-" he silenced me with a small kiss to my lips, causing my heart to flutter

"I don't care if you wear my robe, it looks better on you," he smirked when he pulled away

"Shut up Mendes," i smiled back and began walking in the direction of my room. Shawn had asked me if i wanted to share a room with him, but i decided it wasn't the best idea, i'm not as comfortable with myself yet and i don't want him seeing how i get at night. I usually toss and turn a lot, and occasionally wake up in the middle of the night because of a bad dream or a feeling of uneasiness.

"Nice ass," he yelled behind me and i flipped him off

Once in my room, i padded over to the closet and scanned it for a dress to wear tonight. Shawn had sent clothes over for me because he thought i needed a change, i didn't take it offensively though, i knew he was trying to help. I also tried to pay for them but he wouldn't let me, typical Shawn, always being the gentleman.

Settling on a freely flowing red dress, so my stomach wouldn't show, (A/N i know Leighton has a beautiful figure, and so does everybody, but can we just pretend that Melody has a little more curves than Leighton, thanks haha) and paired it with a pair of black heels and a black clutch. Sitting at my desk, i pulled out my makeup and was about to start applying my primer when somebody knocked on the door, assuming it was Shawn i set down the primer and strode over to the door and opened it, revealing a middle aged woman with a black case and another man with a similar black case, only his was slightly smaller.

"Um, hello?" i said confusingly

"Hey sweetie!" the woman beamed, "Im Amy and this is Elliot, we're here to help you get ready for your date!" she squealed excitedly

"What? I wasn't told about-" she cut me off my pressing s finger to my lips abruptly

"Shhhhh, now, let me see.." striding over to the desk she motioned me to come over, i did as i was told and she sat me down on the chair. "Now, i think we could go natural with this look, or maybe dramatic, oh what about... yes... sexy," she clapped with excitement and opened her case. My eyes widened at the amount of makeup she had stored in it, there must have been enough for half of the population. "Let's get started," she smiled and began to put on my makeup.

"Oh sweetheart, you look absolutely stunning!" she squealed while looking at my makeup, smiling at me she spun my seat around so i could see myself in the mirror.

Widening my mouth as my mouth dropped open i stared blankly at myself. Wow. I looked like a completely different person. I looked... beautiful. My eyeshadow was perfectly done in shades of brown and taupe. Perfectly winged eyeliner drawn to scale on the corners of my eyes while flurry false eyelashes caressed my top lash line, my contouring was perfect, as my red lips finished off the look.

"Thank you so much Amy, I love it!" i squealed

"No problem hunny. but we aren't finished yet!" she smiled

"Nope, definitely not, now sit back down sweetie, your hair still has to be done!" Elliot clapped as he opened his case to reveal basically every single hair product and tool you could possibly think of. "Let's get to work,"

After what felt like an hour but was really thirty minutes, i was ready to go on my date, my makeup was perfectly done and my hair was curled loosely with a semi-tiny dutch plait starting from the right side of my head and joining the small bun at the back. Some stay curls were shaping my face as they fell down the sides of it. If only i could look this beautiful every day.

"Thank you guys so so much, it really means the world to me that you're doing this, but who's paying you?" i asked

"Don't you worry about that hunny, now get out there, your prince awaits you Cinderella," she winked, laughing i gave them both a hug and grabbed my clutch, placing my phone and lipstick that Amy gave me in it.

"Go get 'em tiger!" Elliot whistled. Laughing i waved once more and opened my bedroom door

"She's so beautiful," i heard Amy say once i was out of sight

"She definitely is, he's one lucky guy," elliot replied

Smiling to myself i began to walk down the stairs, taking each step slowly so i wouldn't fall down them. Once i'd gotten to the bottom i looked up and my eyes locked with his. Scanning his attire, my heart fluttered as he was wearing a black suit with a white shirt, and some black shoes, damn this guy really does know how to wear black. His hair was perfectly styled and i'm pretty sure i started drooling when i looked back at his smiling features.

"You look ravishing," he stated in a posh english accent, smiling at his words i chuckled, remembering that's what he said to me on the night of our first date

"As do you Mendes," i smiled and kissed his cheek

"Shall we?" he asked, gesturing for me to take his hand

"Indeed we shall," taking it he twirled me around and lead me out the door to his car.

Tonight was going to be special.

I just knew it.
