"I'm in love."
If I could physically turn myself into the heart eye emoji in this moment, I would have. There was a black embellished bodysuit laying on her bed. It looked like it costs more than my entire my life.
"Please tell me there are going to be lights at this party and you're gonna stand out like a disco ball." I joked.
"Hopefully not." she nervously laughed.
Her smile faded and she sat on the bed, putting her hands in her lap. I sat next to her and grabbed her hands in mine.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm terrified. I know it's only a party but this is basically my debut as a model. What if they don't like me? What if I do something embarrassing?" she rambled.
I gave her hand a squeeze and flashed her a smile.
"Alex, you're going to be fine. I'm going to be there and we're going to have a good time like we always do. They wouldn't have invited you if they didn't have faith in you. Now stop being a debbie downer and lets get dressed." I said, pulling her off the bed.
She laughed, agreeing with what I was saying. She took a deep breath and let it out. We then went our separate ways to get ready. The party started at 8 and it was already 6 o'clock. I know two hours would be a lot for some people but I felt rushed. I decided to take a shower because I felt dirty from earlier today. Plus, my hair was just hell when I try do anything with it when it wasn't wet. I hopped in the shower and did my usual routine. Shaved, washed face, washed body, and washed hair. I stepped out the shower and wrapped myself in a towel. Running product through my wet hair, I smiled at myself knowing how far I came with my hair. It was almost to the middle of my back now. I used to hate my hair because I couldn't do anything with it and it would always look like a giant bird's nest. But thanks to the great world of YouTube, I now have non-frizzy curly hair that actually looks like hair. I blow-dried it until it was almost dry.
I went back to my room and slipped on my dress. Alex gave me tape to put on my boobs so I wouldn't flash anyone tonight. I put my hair into a half up, half down situation, making sure the pony was high enough and it was even. After about five minutes fumbling with random curls, I gave up and went to do my makeup. I had about fifteen minutes before I knew Alex would come and drag me out of my bathroom. I didn't feel like doing a lot so I just put on a BB cream, mascara, contoured and bronzed lightly, also applying the bronzor to my eyes because I'm lazy, and put on a nude lip. After drowning my face in setting spray, I walked back to my room to put on my shoes.
"Shawn!" Alex yelled from her room.
Right on time.
"Yes?" I yelled back.
"Black strappy heels or booties?"
"Strappy!"
"Thank you!"
I laughed to myself, as I slipped on a pair of nude strappy heels. I was not the best at walking in heels but luckily these had a thicker heel. I looked in the mirror one last time before grabbing my purse and phone that was charging and skipped to Alex's room.
"Are you ready?" I said, opening her door.
Apparently, I was just in time because she was looking in the mirror, making finishing touches. Her long brown hair was in a sleek ponytail, showing off her sculpted face. She turned towards me with a huge grin on her face.
"Promise me one thing tonight." she asked, getting up from her chair.
"Okay. What is it?"
"Nothing will ruin our first night out together in over a year. I don't care if that means you throwing up in toilet like that time in high school." she said as she held out her pinky.
