Back to the Ground

•37•

     I woke up the morning of the Golden Globes with both anticipation and anxiety. I was so overjoyed to be experiencing something not many others get to in real life, and also because I get to meet all of the other parts of the cast. I had scrolled through some stuff on my phone before I heard a few knocks come on my door and Finn came I'm and jumped on my bed.
"Good morning love." Then he pecked my lips once.
"Good morning."
"So, are you ready? I know you have your dress, but I was thinking about inviting a makeup and hair artist for you? Would you want that?"
"The hair for sure, but I want to do my makeup. I think I have at least a little talent in makeup and I don't want to go over board. I appreciate this so much Finny. Thank you."
"Anything for you Hanna."
And then we kissed, and things got a little heated, but who cares about that. The time passed by and the lady did my hair so beautifully. She did light curls and put it into a cute little updo. I did a very neutral brown and cream eyeshadow look with wispy lashes. I went light with my face makeup  and did a light pink lipstick. Then it came time to put on my dress.
       There it was. Hanging on the door in the en suite bathroom. It was a navy blue dress with a tulle skirt and long lace sleeves. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I tried it on, and when Iris saw me she was speechless. I slid the dress up and somehow buttoned all of the buttons by myself. I looked at the completed look, I was dumbfounded. I felt beautiful. It hugged every curve the right way, the curls bounced gently on the top of my head and the makeup was simple and sweet. Outside the door I heard it click open and footsteps go over to the window. I glanced once more in the mirror and smiled to myself, feeling like I was glowing.
       I walked out of the bathroom and stepped into the room, Finn turned around and his jaw dropped. I looked down blushing and he spoke up.
"Hanna, you look stunning, I'm gonna have the prettiest date there." I heard Shannon the beauty tech who did my hair chuckle slightly.
"You're not so bad yourself Wolfhard." He was wearing a navy suit with a white shirt underneath. I then realized I still needed to put on my heels. They were just a plain pair of navy heels but they were still cute. I slipped them on my feet and stood up feeling slightly higher.
"The height difference is gonna be slightly smaller tonight." I said laughing. He still towered slightly over me by a few inches.
"Alright, we gotta go Hanna. We don't want to show up late to make a point."
"Finn! Don't be shady!"
"I was kidding! But I'm serious!"
And with that we went out of the house. I was so scared for what would happen at the carpet and during the show. And the nerves kept building with every block that brought us closer.
