Outlast fiction: Mrs.Gluskin

Chapter 10 The Look of love

~Marie~

Charlie came out with opened arms"Ana, sweetheart" he shouted as he took her in his arms. When Charlie looked around Ana to find me standing by the door he freaked out. "MARIE!" he rushed towards me and gave me a huge bear hug, squeezing me against his blue Hawaiian shirt. "Oh, honey it's good to see you again. I miss you sooooo much" he squeezed tighter, eventually he had to let go and move straight to business. "So what can I do for y'all today" he was being sassy like always. "Well, Marie here needs her eye brows waxed and a hair cut" Ana said. I have her the death stare. I looked at Charlie, he was still handsome like always. He had this surfer haircut with dirty blonde hair. He looked real young in the face kinda like a teenager but he was older than me and Ana. He was skinny and had a little muscle in his legs, he these gorgeous grey eyes with long eyelashes which made his eyes look more fabulous. He was wearing this blue Hawaiian shirt with pink skinny jeans. "Ok, Marie came seat down in this chair and I'll take good care of you, honey" he said and sat me in a black chair facing the mirror. He had this southern sassy accent, so you can just tell that he is definitely from Texas.

He took off my long pony tail and commented "Good lord, girl, your hair is all frizzled up. When was the last time you had a hair cut" he put his hands hips. I answered "3 years"

He muttered something under his breath but I ignored it. "So I would you like your hair cut" he asked.

I didn't really know what kind of haircut I wanted. "Surprise me"

I smiled. He came to my ear, and whispered "Honey, I'm gonna make you fabulous" then he started working his magic on my frizzy hair.

As Charlie was cutting my hair short and making layers, he asked "So is he?"

"What? What are you talking?"

"The special someone that your thinking of. So who is he?"

I was thinking of Eddie a little and how he wanted to learn ballroom dancing. "Charlie, do you still teach dancing lessons?"

"He doesn't know how to dance does he"

"He wants to learn ballroom dancing"

"Ballroom dancing...uh?"

I shook my head.

"Will you teach him?"

"Ok, I'll teach him a few moves, if I can meet him tonight"

"Done, but...."

"But what?"

I totally forgot about Eddie's left side face. But nothing wrong with a little make up, right?

"Can you come to the house after you're done doing your magic"

"Honey, I can leave anytime"

After getting the waxing and the hair done, Charlie got his kit which he calls "magic kit" and we headed straight towards Ana's house.

When we walked in, Eddie came and hugged me, I just knew form the look in his eyes he wanted to kiss me, but instead I kissed him on the cheek. Charlie's eyes were wide open, he looked at Eddie up, down, and all around. He looked at me "Marie you brought my Christmas present earlier" he said. I can tell that Charlie was pretty turned on until he looked at his left bloody side. Eddie looked at me with confusion.

"Remember when you said you wanted to learn ballroom dancing well Charlie here used to be a teacher, but now he's a make artist and hairstylist" I said. Charlie took a deep look at the side of Eddies face.

He snapped his fingers,"Alright ladies here's the game plan, Ana, you take Eddie in to the master bathroom and get him cleaned up, while I setup my magic tools and Marie...." Ana and Eddie were gone in a flash ,Charlie held me by my shoulders. "Marie I want you to wear something beautiful and dressy, but not too dressy. Got it?" I shook my head and raced up stairs to my bedroom.

I took off all my outer clothes and stared at my self in the mirror. I looked young like my 20 year old self again, I didn't look 38. My haircut was perfect, it long all the way to my shoulders and curly. I put on my white robe that I had hanging right next to the shower. Then I brushed and whited my teeth until they shined. Next I got in the shower and shaved my legs, it turns out if you don't shave for 3 years it does not look good, I would hate to see what my bush looks like.

I looked in the mirror, I got out my own magic box that was full of lipstick, foundation, eyeliner, all kinds of make up. I got out my tools: red cherry lipstick, pink blush, grey eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and eye lash curler. All these items made me look like model, I was pretty hot. But there was still something missing, I looked in my drawer to find a white flower and attached it to my hair. Now I was perfect I just need to find something to wear. I was searching for a dress that I use to go to cocktail parties in, but where was it. I searched in my closet, scanning every dress I'd ever wore and there I found it. The dress was a black halter dress that showed the shape of my body, I slid over my strapless bra and looked in the mirror. I looked hot, I gave the dress a twirl. It circled all around me. I looked in my shoe drawer and got out my black closed toed shoes. Oh, yeah I look good. Charlie came knocked and said "Marie, are you ready?" I answered "Yeah, I'm coming" I took one last look at myself then headed towards the door.

I started heading down the stairs and there was Eddie with the left side of his face completely normal, the flat haired mohawk the he use to have was nothing but a full head of hair. The blood in his eyes were all gone. Eddie was so handsome even with a full head of hair, he probably was wearing a wig. When I came down the last steps, Eddie couldn't stop looking at me."You look beautiful, Marie" he whispered as he gave me a gentle, warm, hug. "Ok love birds, break it up. Let's go" Charlie grabbed us by our arms and pulled us out the door. We got in Ana's car and left.
