Take Me Home~ Sequel to Short Circuit

The song has a time where it would be played, but listen whenever

(Name) Point of View

  The day of the fiesta came, almost so fast I got whiplash. It seemed like only yesterday I was at the dress shop trying to deny wearing that dress, though I'm sort of glad I decided to get it in the end.

  Yeah I wasn't comfortable at first, but I got over it. And in Carmen's words, "You're only this young once" so here I am getting ready for today. Though, that doesn't mean I'm going to go full diva and wear a face full of makeup with all those foundation and concealers. I mean, I could do that but... It's not my style.

  I'd rather do more natural than all of that prom queen stuff. It's also not my style because I never was the prom queen, and perhaps I never will be.

  All thoughts aside, Carmen is helping me do my hair. Surprising, seeing as my nest is always a mess in one way or another so she agreed to curling it. (Don't worry my short haired babes, I curl my short hair too😘). The curls (danced on my shoulders/ cascaded on my shoulders) as I watched while she finally finished, leaving me flabbergasted. I didn't know what to say, she seemed like she had professional hair experience.

  "Carmen... I'm... Wow" I said, examining the mirror as each curl seemed so crisp. So shiny and full of life. The curls were absolutely perfect. "How about we give you a natural beauty my dear, a sunset smokey eye and simple red would go perfectly with you. Sexy darling" She nudged, winking and a knock on the door was heard. "Where is this party?" I ask, hoping it isn't some sort of club. "It's at one of the best clubs we have in this place. Lots of people will be there tonight since my nephew's father owns the place" she replied and my stomach dropped. The knock on the door was heard again and we both turned to see what was going on.

  "Who is it?" She asks, Hank's mumbled voice came from the other side. "Come on, the party starts in half an hour and you both still aren't ready. We're gonna be waiting in line forever" Hank said as we both shared a quiet laugh. "I'm his family, remember?" Carmen said and I sat there, unknowing what to do. "Geez, women and their time..." I heard from the other aide and footsteps go away from the door.

~time skip to after Carmen makes you look like a queen (but you always knew you were a queen, right?😉)~

  The door opened up and out stepped Carmen, Hank holding out his hand and Carmen taking it as I peeked out of the door. "(Name), come on. Don't be afraid to hide your secret beauty. You look amazing" Carmen nudged as I took a deep breath and made sure I didn't trip as I came out of the door. I walked out, head slightly down as I avoided her excited expression. Hank look surprised, not knowing who I was. "Are you sure this is (Name)? The real (Name) would never agree to this style" Hank said playfully with a chuckle.

  "Yes, it is. She hid her beauty all these years!" Carmen said with a gentle push at Hank. "You look nice kid. Real different than your usual plain Jane look" Hank said in a nod. "You don't look too bad yourself, old man" I tease, noticing he got a slight haircut but it was all gelled and slicked back and he trimmed his beard a bit. He wore a snazzy suit that looked expensive, almost as if he saved a fortune and spent it all on that suit. In all honesty, I wasn't going to sugar coat it. He looked really nice, nice enough to where he could seem like a sugar daddy if he even went that way. (*Cough* don't hit me plz *cough*

  "Where is Connor?" Carmen asked. (in English- wait did I specify this? 'Aight so when its in Italics, that's the Spanish talk cause actually switching between my Spanish and English keyboard is too much work)

  "He should be on his way over. Said he wanted to match with (Name) and wear black" Hank answered and the front door opened, revealing Connor who had just came in. Although me and Connor are together, that won't stop me from swooning at his style. I almost died then and there because of it. He wore a black silk button up that had a couple buttons unbuttoned, and nice pants that highlighted all the best spots. (He ain't thicc, but it worcc). When he saw me, his eyes appeared to be doing the same thing mine were: examining. I may not be super skinny like a model and I may not have that hourglass, but I made it work and Connor appeared to like it.
