Raven's POV
"Raven, wake up!" Ash yells out. I open my eyes and see my mom and Ash on top of me.
"It's your big day, honey!" My mom squeals. I sigh and put the blanket over my head. Big day... Fuck, my wedding! I shoot straight up.
"My wedding!" I yell. I kind of forgot about it. I thought it was a dream.
"Come on, we have lots to do!" Ash says dragging me out of bed. I slip on my engagement ring from the nightstand. Ash throws me some comfy clothes. I slip them on and put on some shoes. "Okay, you're coming with me. We have your hair appointment in an hour, then I take you to your makeup appointment. Come on, lets move!" I run out of the house with Ash.
"But it's in an hour!" I tell her, still sleepy. She backs out of the driveway.
"It takes an hour to get there!"
"Why didnt we just get a hairstylist closer?!" We are basically yelling at each other from stress.
"Marilyn wanted to get you the best of all of the hairstylists of Florida." She says, in a calm voice. I start to smile, that's sweet of Marilyn. I sit back and try to breath. "It's your big day, gah, it's so exciting!" She says and grabs one of my hands. I begin to blush. It's so surreal to me still.
"I'm so nervous, Ash. What if I fall or something in midway down the aisle." She shrugs.
"Well, then that'll be unforgettable." I lightly punch her shoulder.
"Thanks for the reassurance."
"So, you never told me where you two are going for your honeymoon."
"We are going to this cute little town in Italy. I forgot the name nor can I pronounce it. It's really cozy looking, the roads are made of stone and the houses are small cottages."
"Sounds pricey."
"Marilyn refuses to tell me how much he spent on this wedding. I'm scared to know too." I remember Marilyn hiding the bills and tickets. He didnt want me to worry.
"Well, have fun." Ash says and puts in a cd. We drive by the other cars in a hurry to get to my appointment on time.
"So, what are was the master plan of Marilyn's proposal?" I ask. She giggles and turns down a street.
"It's really cute and cunning, that's our Marilyn." I shake her shoulder slightly.
"C'mon!" I push for information.
"Okay, okay, Marilyn got your dad's number from your mom, he set up you meeting him. Your dad agreed on calling you asking you to visit up in New York. Why, well, the first time you two met was there at that recording studio at New York. Marilyn pretended to work on the album with the others for a while so it would be a good reason for his manager to "talk" to him at the recording studio. He also hired those people to take down the plastic to show the pictures and such. Also, Marilyn emptied your bag and put that fancy dress in there on purpose." I blush.
"He did all of that for me?"
"Smart, right?" I nod and turn my attention back outside. Damn, I can't believe he got Twiggy to be quiet about this for such a long time! That's so sweet of Brian, going through all of the trouble! Gah, I can't believe I'm marrying him.
Ash pulls into a fancy-looking building. We climb out and walk into it. Ash grabs my wrist and smiles. She drags me to the receptionists desk.
"Hi, we have an appointment for Ms. Raven Warner." Ash smirks at me saying Brian's last name at the end of mine.
"I will be later tonight." I mumble blushing. The lady nods.
"Alright, follow me Ms. Warner." She takes me around the back where the washing stations are and such. Another lady with an apron on and gloves with hair dye on them takes me to a chair.
"Hi, how are you?" She asks as she puts warm water onto my hair. She then massages sweet smelling shampoo into my hair.
"I'm doing fine," I say and smile at her.
"So, I'm suppose to re dye your hair and a trim?"
"Yes, please." She nods and rinses off the shampoo. She takes me to a chair and blows dry my hair. Afterwards, she grabs a bowl of black dye and neatly paints it on my hair.
"Alright, when the timer goes off then that means your dye is done. Let me get the lady who is suppose to do your nails."
"Thank you." She rushes off to get the lady for my nails. The lady comes and places a stool by me. She sits and takes a cart full of nail colors and supplies next to her.
"What color, ma'am."
"Black, please." She nods sweetly and does my nails beautifully. Ash comes in and pulls a chair next to me.
"Hey, girl. How are you doin'" she says and smiles at me.
"This is very relaxing." I say and lean my head back.
"You're doing black for your nails and hair?"
"Yeah, it'll go together with my dress and such."
"Oh yeah," she agrees. I nod and wait for my nails to dry. The timer goes off and the lady washes my hair. She lets it go wavy. She splits it down the middle and let my hair flow on my shoulders.
"Where to next?" I ask as we walk out of the saloon.
"Let me check, by the way, your hair smells good, like strawberries." She checks on her phone.
"Thanks," I say as we get into the car.
"Well, we go back home and you take a shower with your hair cap on and we go get your makeup done." I nod and sit back. She rushes home.
"Here's the bride!" My mom yells out when we enter the house. She hugs me with Seth in her arms. She hands the baby to Ash.
"Oh, Raven, your hair is beautiful!" My cousin, Janice, says to me. My cousins and aunts come to hug me with compliments along.
"Thank you, now, I need to shower." They go back to getting ready and I run up to the shower. I put on a cap so my hair won't get wet and ruined. I soap myself down and hop out. "Ash, I'm almost done!" I yell very loudly hoping she heard me. She knocks on the door and says 'okay'. I slap on some clothes and walk out.
"Ready?" I nod and slip on my shoes. She runs downstairs with me. We hop back in the car and drive to Mac, a makeup store, where we have an appointment for my makeup. She drives like a maniac there. With her driving we get there in no time, we jump out and run to the store.
We find the store and walk up to the front cashier area.
"Hi, she has an appointment. I hope we aren't late." The lady grabs a clipboard and glances at it.
"No, you're just on time. So, which one of you guys are Raven Warner?" I blush, once again, from Warner. I raise my hand slightly. She smiles and we follow her to a vanity. "Anything in particular?"
"Yeah, last time we came I tested out some makeup looks and the lady that did it said she would keep the paper of the products that she used for the look I liked." She flips through the clipboard.
"Ah, is it this?" She shows me the products and I recognize them. I nod and she rushes off to get the makeup I need. She starts off with foundation and she then does my eyebrows. She continues and puts a thin line of liquid eyeliner with a wing. She lightly presses on a dark crimson red lipstick. It took about an hour until she was completely done. We pay and head back home. Everyone was ready so we all drive to the hall where my wedding will be held.
Wow this took forever to write. Anyways part 2 will be Brian getting ready (it won't be as long). -Twiggy Way
