zodiac romance

wish fulfilled

Days passed by, me dreading over what might happen to me or how Scorpio might possibly react to the close proximity of me and cap. But I successfully hid it from his eyes.

A piercing wave of pain shot through my head making me wince for the thousand time throughout the day and I couldn't blame myself more for thinking too much about it but everything and worrying a lot making me get migraine in intervals.

Aqua shot me a quick glance popping her head from behind the magazine that was opened in front of him. Her gaze lingered on my fallen face resting on pout then turned back, hiding behind magazine.

I huffed in annoyance but a scrape of magazine page hit my eardrums and her head popped up in my line of vision again, this time her eyes flashing with light as if on the verge of exploding sea of words.

My back straightened up in wait and fixed my gaze on her lips quizzically.

"Do you have any idea," she pointed her index finger towards me and my eye brow shot up ansciously"cap is getting graduated tomorrow." She finished her sentence holding her breath so that she can listen to my response more accurately and it took everything in me not to roll my eyes in return.

But before I could say anything she leaned forward in her chair holding both arms of chair in hands" don't you tell me you don't know anything about it, dumbass." She shot me a warning look and my mouth opened up in surprise.

"Hey! Don't you dare call me dumbass." I said and folded my arms on my chest.

She snorted and I pursed my lips squinting my eyes at her" and for your kind information, of course I know. And tomorrow I'm going to have dinner at his place." I boasted about my invitation at Cap's place.

Last night he invited me at his place to have dinner with him. According to him, his sister, cancer, wanted to see me but due to the amusing edge in his tone, I figured that it was more of his idea to invite me there at his graduation day and I couldn't be more happy.

Aqua stood up from his chair at lightening speed and squealed so loudly hurrying towards me that I had to cover my eyes in order to keep my precious earlobes intact. She plopped down on the bed beside me making the mattress jump in surprise couple of times but she ignored it, not tearing her gaze away from me.

"Damn! Tell me everything!" She squeaked not hiding her surprise one bit and smile threatened to erupt through my lips but I kept it at Bay.

I knew if I didn't tell her anything then she wouldn't leave me even if took all the night to convince me so sensing the trouble ahead, I explained everything to her and she decided to give me makeover for going to his place.

She was hell bent to convince me that it was a date and I gave her a death glare to not even think about it that way but my insides churned at the idea and I could no more ignore my stomach that was doing black flips.

~~~~~~

Currently I'm looking at the pale version of my face, scrunching up at how flat my face looked.

Aqua kept shuffling around me and finally takes out a dark red make up bag and begins dabbing soft liquid like substance on special parts of my face. Then she applied blush in circular motions on my cheekbones.

She used a shadow brush on my eye lids with her bottom lip stuck between her teeth, not breaking her gaze from my face with her eyes following every single motion of her fingers as if she was working on a million dollar project.

I rolled my eyes, forgetting for a moment that she was applying shadow on my eyelids.

I flinched back when a high-pitched scream pierced through my ears, attempting to sink back in the chair and disappear before she could take out her frustration on me.

After giving me a death glare for good five minutes, she again started working on my eyes with her relaxed breaths fanning my face constantly.

While applying mascara and eyeliner liner, she makes sure to stab my eyes for few times and held back the urge to claw her hands in irritation.

Soon afterwards she moves on to my lips, applying a light pink lips gloss that complemented my skin.

She decided to leave my hair straight and straightened my hair with straightener making sure to leave every single hair straight and I was more than just irritated because she was paying too much attention to every single detail as if I was going to Grammy award concert.

Finally when she was done, I decided to move my taut muscles but all my exhaustion flew out the window when I glanced at my reflection.

I didn't recognize myself and it seemed like someone else was looking back at me!

Okay okay, it got way too much..

But honestly I liked myself, finally satisfied with my looks or should I say fake looks. My eyes popped out more and my nose looked thinner while my lips looked plumped and natural. But what enhanced my look more was my hair that lay loose on my shoulders.

I smiled at myself. Finally I was going to meet Cap's sister, as in family gathering.

I grinned at the thought and aqua sighed , probably realizing that I was a lost cause and hurried towards my closet for some proper dress.

After rummaging for fifteen minutes through my clothes, took a step back, with her hands on her hips and a scowl plastered on her face.

"Girl! Your closet is a mess. You got nothing decent to wear." She exclaimed

"So what? I'll just wear a pair  of jeans and a sh-" but before I could complete my sentence she cut me off in the middle.

"Whoa, are you out of your mind? There is no way I'm gonna let you wear your usual corpse outfit."

Before I could further protest she hurried past me, exiting the room and soon appeared with a dark blue dress in her hands.

I eyed the dress and my eyes lit up in agreement. This dress was neither too perky nor too off. It was perfect for such occasion.
On the left side it was off shoulder urging me to wear a dangling earring in my left ear. while the dress reached til my knees. I completed my look with my matching blue pumps.

~~~~~~~~

A bell of Cap's main door dinged in the Porsche when I pressed my fingers on it, applying way too much pressure I'm nervousness than it actually required. Every cell of my body froze in anticipation while I gulped audibly couple of times to brush away my anxiety but it was to no avail. 

Soon I heard the loud thumping sound of feet hitting the floor, advancing in my direction, getting louder and louder with every passing second and I held my breathe.
