Before // Zion Kuwonu

Chapter 5

"I heard prettymuch is going on tour," Dylan shares.

"Oh yea? Where are they going to?"

"All over the world starting in October, in a month and a half," She elaborates.

"You know, I think you would like Austin," I say out of the blue.

"I don't know who that is"

I take out my phone and text

Hazel: hey can I have Austin's #?

Zion: sure (——-)

Hazel: thanks

Hazel: hey Austin it's Hazel, what do you think of going on a blind date with my friend

Austin: I'm not sure

Hazel: trust me just give it a shot

Austin: ok how about dinner and movie at 6:30 tomorrow? I'll pick her up

Hazel: sounds good

"You have a blind date tomorrow at 6:30, your going no question," I announce.

"Wha-wha-wha," Dylan stutters, "shit I gotta get ready!"

"It's tomorrow,"

"I know," she replies frantically.

"Remember less is more!"

Ring ring

"Hello?" I answer.

"What you doing right now?"

"Oh Zion nothing much, come over?"

"On my way, text me the address"

"Will do, bye"

"Bye"

I end the call and hear Dylan yell, "I NEED HELP,  I only got two hours until he picks me up!"

"Zion's coming over in a half an hour so get ready and we will approve," I respond texting him my address.

She sits at my desk using my mirror to put on makeup while I sit criss cross apple sauce on my bed wearing no makeup, hair down like always, and a oversized shirt covering up my small pajama shorts.

"Actually, can you go my makeup?" She asks with a puppy dog face.

"Yeah alright."

I start off with concealing her face but she has clear skin so she barely needs it. Once I blended that in, I set it with powder then bronze up her face. I add a hint of blush and begin to apply highlighter when someone knocks on the door.

"I'll be right back," I say and run to the door and open it to reveal Zion in adidas joggers, a baseball cap with his hoodie over it and converse.

"Hey," I say before being pulled into a hug.

"Hey,"

"I'm helping Dylan get ready for her blind date with Austin," I inform him and lead him to my tiny bedroom where we both sit of the bed.

"Hey I'm Dylan!" Dylan introduces.

"Zion, so you got a date with Austin?" Zion says while I put on her highlighter and finish her eyebrows, once again not much to fill in there.
