Star-Crossed

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO.

SKY

As soon as I entered Elena and I's hotel room, I let out a breath and set my bags down.

Before I could think about Alexander for even a second, Elena walked from the bathroom looking as pretty as ever.

Elena was wearing a khaki green long sleeve dress and lots of jewelry. Her feet wore nude heels that added about four inches to her height and her hair was straightened down to her bum.

She looked at me sadly, giving me a sweet smile, but knowing that I didn't want to talk about the last couple of days.

"Girl, what are you doing? Get dressed!" Elena exclaimed. "You like my dress?" She spun around.

"Yes, it's cute," I complimented her, sitting up on the bed. "But get dressed for what?"

"We're eating at the restaurant in the hotel because we won three days in a row! I didn't tell you?" She asked.

"No."

"Well, come on!" She dragged me out of the bed and into the bathroom.

"I don't even think I brought a nice dress to wear." I protested.

"I'll help you choose and I'll help you get dolled up." She clapped her hands excitedly and I groaned before sitting on the chair she was motioning for me to sit on.

She liked to do girls makeup and hair for money as a side gig. Hair of all textures and many different styles. She pulled out the flat iron and asked me if she could straighten it. I said yes and she put in heat protector before working on my hair.

When she finished flat ironing my hair, and looked at my in the mirror.

"Middle part of side part?"

"Middle." I shrugged.

"Where's your makeup bag?" She asked, after I finished washing my face.

I walked to my suitcase and gave it to her. "I don't have much."

She laughed before starting on my makeup. Elena started by only using concealer on my skin, telling me that I didn't need anymore. On my eyes, she used this brown shimmery eyeshadow and paired it with a white shimmery colour on my inner corners. She used her eyeliner and lined my eyes before applying a small coat of my mascara on my lashes and did my eyebrows.

I kept it simple for my lips and just put on some lip gloss.

"Here," Elena tossed me a white dress. "You'll look good in this."

I slipped it on and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked beautiful, sexy even.

The dress hugged my waist and ended at my mid-thighs with a small slit which showed my right thigh. My cleavage, which is usually non existent, looked full.

"Ooh, girl." Elena winced when she saw me and I giggled. "Here I have white heels for you."

I hesitated before taking them and trying them on.

The white heels looked good on my feet and brought this confidence in me. I spun around while looking at myself in the mirror.

"You look hot babe. Now, come on." Elena complimented me. We cleaned up quickly then she grabbed my wrist to bring me downstairs.

I was afraid to go to this dinner and as soon as we reached the restaurant, my eyes searched for him.

His smile was the first thing I saw. Alexander was sitting next to his coach and was laughing at something he said. He wore a white dress shirt with the few first buttons undone and his hair looking perfect.
