The next day, Ivory attended her classes as usual, but decided to go back to the library. Not only did she need to work a new project, she also needed to get more information on what she was dealing with.
Today she looked very stylish. Her locs were taken out and she showed off her low haircut, that looked great on her. It was crisp outside so she dressed casually.
Ivory quickly stepped into the library, drawing her floral print cardigan in tighter. The light thud of her black Doc Marten's could be heard by anyone nearby.
There weren't many people in the library today. Maybe 6 or 7 at the most. Ivory went over to the psychology books and grabbed a few before making her way over to a table.
She slid on her beats and dove into the books.
Safari sat in his office, unimpressed by the designs in front of him. In Safari's mind, these designs were for a simple, closed minded person. He was far from simple and closed minded. He made many changes to the designs before slipping them back into the project folder. He sat back in his chair as his thoughts drifted to Ivory. He just couldn't get enough of her. He decided he would call her and ask her on a date.
The phone rang twice before she answered.
"Hello?", she spoke softly
Safari smiled to himself.
"Hey, you wanna go out with me tonight", he said confidently. Safari said it in a demanding tone as if he was telling her instead of asking.
Ivory was a bit taken back, but quickly recovered.
"Sure", she said in a low voice.
A triumphant grin spread across his face as he spoke.
"I'll pick you up at 7, don't worry about clothes, I'll send someone over", he replied bluntly before hanging up, not giving her a chance to reply.
Safari flipped a switch on his desk phone and called in his assistant. She quickly scrambled in.
"Amber, I have a job for you", he said as she took a seat in front of him.
Ivory sat at her vanity, applying her make-up. It was 6:15 and she had yet to get dressed. A sudden knock on her door caused her to jump. She got up and opened the door, revealing a girl and a guy. The girl held a dress bag and boxes while the guy held a large bag.
"Oh, um Safari sent you....right?", Ivory asked politely.
"Mmhmm, we're here to make you look like a million bucks ", the guy said, sharing a smile with the girl and Ivory. She stepped to the side and let them in.
The girl whose name turned out to be Mia would be dressing Ivory while Julius did her hair and make-up. Since her hair was short, he just put a side part in it and gelled down her baby hairs. Her make-up was a nice smokey eye with a bold red lipstick. She had a strapless floor length gown (MM).
