Escape from Tragedy

Chapter 28: Can you not?!

"Leaving in ten minutes!" Amilia yelled to us.

I woke up so late and now I'm rushing to get ready for this opening. I only had an hour to do my hair, makeup and get dressed. Cue the face palm. If it wasn't for Sophia to come in to ask me something I would still be asleep. 

I just got done putting the finish touches of my makeup. I don't have time to curl or straighten my hair, I sprayed some frizz control and put some shine cream in my hair. Thank god my hair is corroborating with me. I ran to my closet and searched for anything.  I grabbed my black long sleeve turtle neck sweater, my black high rise skinny leg pants, I grabbed my tan wool trench coat. I put on some perfume, put on a pair of earrings, and my moms necklace. What shoes to wear? 

"Olivia, which shoe?" Amilia asked me coming into my closet, wearing two different shoes.

"Ummm, the black" I told her.

"I have the perfect shoes that would go with that look" Amilia told me. "I'll bring it to you"

I started looking for what purse to use today but I couldn't find one that'll look nice.

"Here you go" Amilia said placing the shoes on the little island I have in my closet.

"Oh yes, perfect" I said grabbing the leopard print heels shoes. They go perfect with my outfit. They are the statement piece. "Your outfit is cute" I told her.

Amilia has on this cream kind of over sized sweater dress, paired with knee high boots. Her hair curled loosely, makeup simple but gorgeous.

"Thanks, so does yours" she told me and then walked out my closet.

I walked over to Sophia room to look for a purse to use.

"Can I use one of your bags?" I asked her.

"Yeah" she said as she put on her shoes.

Sophia has on a this lace dress but over it is a cream sweater keeping her warm with a nude pink wool coat, paired with knee high white heels boots. Her black hair is curled giving it a beach wave look, her makeup bronzed fresh.

I grabbed her black Givenchy tote purse and went to my room to put my wallet, touch up powder, charger, lip stick, chap stick, hand sanitizer, lotion, tissue, gum and hair tie.

"Let's go! Cars here!!" Amilia yelled.

I grabbed my phone and walked out my room and down the stairs. We walked to the black car and got in.

"I hope there's a nice turn out" Sophia said hopeful.

The drive to the event was long, morning traffic. When we finally reached the building, people are arriving.

"Let's go" Amilia said opening her door.

When we got out the car we walked towards this glass and white stone building. It's so big and nice. The opening hasn't happened because the red ribbon isn't cut yet.

"Let's go find the men" Sophia said hooking arms with us. We walked around stopping here and there for people who are talking to Sophia and Amilia.

"Hey guys" I said when we found them.

"Hey" they said giving us hugs and kisses on the cheek.
