Imagine If....

You're his 'Cinderella'...

This next one is in a happy tone compared to the past couple of one's I've done :D It's based off a song from one of my all time favorite bands Daughtry and the songs called Cinderella, enjoy!

This Imagine is also dedicated to @HannahxMetallica because I bet she's now happy she can leave a constructive comment :D

As weird as this is to say, you felt like you've been a slave to your own home for the past couple of weeks. You've just recently moved into what you would consider your 'dream home'; it was a two-story white cottage-like house. Ever since you saw it when you first moved to LA three years ago, you vowed to make this house your own. After all that time of working to the bone as a cleaner for your own business you started up, you've finally gotten your dream home. 

The past couple of weeks you've been doing the not so fun part; cleaning and remodeling it so it didn't look like a squatter has lived there for years. Just because you cleaned houses for a living, didn't mean it's still not a pain in the ass.

The room you've been working on for the past few days has been the kitchen and it's been one hell hole after another. Luckily, you've got the hard parts out of the way and now you're cleaning the cabinets of all the old food that sat in there. You had only started an hour ago, but you couldn't even begin to count how many cans you found of creamed corn from 2013.

Your phone went off in the living room, causing you to pull your head out of the cabinet. You recognized it as the customized ringtone you had set for your best friend Mark. To be honest, you were actually surprised he still wanted to talk to you after you've pretty much ignored him for god knows how long. It wasn't his fault, ok?! You couldn't help getting sucked into your work!

Hopping off the step ladder you were on, you rushed towards the phone before the ringing could cease. Thankfully, you answered it before that could happen.

"Hello?" You panted, out of breath from the running the ten feet to the living room. It's a safe bet to say you're out of shape, even if it's just slightly.

"It lives," Mark chuckled at his own joke before continuing on. "I'd ask what you're doing but I have a feeling I know what it's going to be."

"It's conversations like this that have made me miss talking to you." You said that only slightly joking. You have missed having him around. He's always this ball of sunshine when he's in the same room as you that you can't help but smile.

"Are you busy in, I don't know- 30 minutes?" The image of Mark checking the watch you had gotten for his birthday popped into your mind.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh did I forget to tell you? My bad, I'm coming to pick you up and I'm taking you out for the night."

"What do you mean you're taking me out for the night? What are you talking about Mark?" You couldn't help but feel confused about this whole situation when you've had little to no contact with Mark.

"I mean this in the nicest way possible Y/N, I really do, you need to have a fucking life. The fact that cleaning and remodeling your new house has become your life is beyond depressing."

"Wow Mark, you sure know how to sugar coat things!" You weren't offended, much. Besides, any chance you got to make fun of Mark was a chance you were going to take.

"You know what I mean! It's been ages since we've hung out! Please Y/N, do this for me?" Even though you couldn't see his face, you could imagine his brown eyes turning several shades lighter as they took on a puppy-dog like quality. The only reason he did it was because he knew it got to you every single time.

"I know what you're doing Mark, it's not going to work!"

"I don't know what you're talking about." He pulled out the innocent card when he used the puppy dog eyes.

"Argh, alright I'll go!" You shouted, throwing your free hand up in the air. "You win Mark!"

"Ha ha, I always do! I'll be by to pick you up in 30 minutes."

"Make it 45, I have to make myself not look like a hobo. It may be just us going out but I want to look halfway decent!" While you were still on phone with Mark, you began making your way towards the disaster zone that is your bedroom. You didn't mind because once the room was finished, you would have a walk in closet that was to die for.

"Y/N you always look better than halfway decent," You ducked your head, a slight blush appearing on your cheeks. "but I'll be there in 45 minutes. I'll see you then." Mark hung up, leaving you to get dressed.

You made your way to the cabinet your clothes were stored in for the mean time. An odd feeling began running through your system as you actually wanted to impress Mark.

Rummaging through your clothes, you found what you wanted to wear; a baby blue t-shirt with a scooped neck, your favorite pair of blue skinny jeans. On the way to the bathroom, you slid on a silver bracelet and grabbed one of your white flower crowns. It took you only a few minutes to brush your hair out and set the flower crown on top of your head.

Not completely satisfied with your look, you put a light coat of nude lip gloss on and made your way back towards the living room.

Now all you had to do was kill time, which wasn't hard. After about 25 minutes of organizing and reorganizing the kitchen counter space, the door bell rang. You knew who it was so you took your time making your way towards the front door. There was also so much shit on the floor from the remodeling, you'd fall and break your neck with the luck you have if you went too fast.

You opened the front door, a smiling Mark standing on the other side with his hands in his pockets.

"Look at you, all Cinderella and what not." The smile on his face got bigger as his eyes continued to go up and down your body. "Your chariot awaits." He held a hand to you. You accepted, but not before bending down and picking up your white flats sparkled with glitter on both the backs and the front.

Your day to day life had enough Cinderella aspects to last a lifetime. With Mark, you actually felt you were Cinderella at the ball with her prince charming. It finally felt as if this was a dream your heart was making.
