The Path to Love

Chapter 70 - Sam's POV

When I walked into my hotel room, a navy-blue ball gown was waiting for me on the bed with a similar colouring mask, and a pair of long navy-blue gloves. The gown was simple, yet elegant. It was floor length, and short sleeved. It had no special designs on it just a plain floor length, navy-blue dress. "Perfect," I whispered.

A knock on my door interrupted me from my thoughts. I waddled over to the door and opened in. standing in front of me were six different people. "Um, hi." I replied.

"Samantha Dawson?" One of them spoke up and said.

"Yes," I replied hesitantly. "Who are you?"

I'm Eric, this is Fiona and Stella." He replied gesturing to each person that was closest to him.

Eric had round glasses covering his big brown eyes, he was scrawny looking, and had a sheepish smile, like he was embarrassed to be here. I looked over at Stella who had sleeve tattoos on both of her arms, long blonde hair, brown eyes, and a lip piercing. I turned my attention to Fiona who had short, straight, brown hair, blue eyes, and was around the same height as me. "Okay, that just tells me your names. Why are you here?"

"Makeup team," Fiona replied.
"Great, come in."

Three walked in and the other three people moved closer to the door. "I'm Robert, this is David, and this is Kaleigh. We are your hairstyling team."

I didn't even have time to look them over before they all crowded into my small hotel room. "Okay, there are a lot of people in here and not a lot of room in here. It doesn't take three people to do my hair and makeup each. I need one for hair and one for makeup. You can decide amongst yourselves who stays and leaves, but four of you need to go."

Eric told Fiona and Stella to leave and Kaleigh told Robert and David to leave. "Okay," I took a deep breath. "That's better."

"We have four hours for you to get ready before you have to leave. Go and shower. Kaleigh and I will get your supplies ready."

"Is it really going to take four hours for me to get ready?"

"Just about, if not longer. Hurry up and go shower!" Kaleigh replied.

I walked into the washroom and took a fifteen-minute shower. I would have stayed longer, but Eric started rushing me, telling me I needed to hurry up. I quickly got out, dried myself off and walked back into the room in a robe, as requested. "Perform your magic," I told the both of them as I sat down in the chair.

Eric plucked, waxed, and sprayed literally every part of my body and spent roughly two hours putting makeup on my face. Kaleigh blow dried, straightened, curled, and designed my hair. She spent three hours turning my mop of a head into something presentable.

Finally, they both put their hands up in the air. "Done," they exhaled.

"I'm going to help you put on your dress, mask, and gloves, and then you can look in the mirror at our creation. I would just like to tell you though, you look ravishing." Kaleigh told me.

"My work here is done, you will be the talk of the night. You look phenomenal," Eric said to me.

"Even though a lot of this hurt, I would just like to thank the both of you so much. None of this would be possible without the two of you and you both will be helping me make a statement tonight. It's already going to be hard to make people trust me, because you know precious cargo on board and all, but you two managed to make me worry less about my appearance. Thank you," I said to Kaleigh and Eric.

"Don't thank us, we get paid to do this. Kick ass tonight and don't let anyone tear you down," Eric replied. "I have to go now, I have a flight to New York to prepare for a fashion show. Post pictures on social media of your appearance and do not forget to tag me!"

I chuckled and turned to Kaleigh. "Let's do this, I have an event to make my position known at."

She picked the dress up off my bed and I stripped removed my robe. "I hope you got a pregnancy photo shoot done, you look stunning."

I blushed at her comment, knowing her eyes were raking my body. "Thank you," I replied. "A photo shoot has been the farthest from my mind, maybe I should look into booking that next week."

I lifted my arms for her to slide the dress down my body. "Simple, yet elegant."

"Whoever provided the dress, knows me. I didn't want to be to flashy tonight, I like simple."

"Oliver Thomas," she replied.

"Excuse me?"

"Oliver Thomas provided the dress, mask and gloves. He also hired us for tonight. Looks like he's the one that knows you."

"Maybe you're right," I thought about what she said and what he said earlier on the plane. Maybe he does know Hunter and myself better than I give him credit for.

She tied my mask around my eyes and put the gloves on my hands. "Would you like some pictures taken?"

"Yes, I should take some for Eric, so he doesn't get mad that there is none."

She chuckled. "Yes, that is probably a good idea."

I let her take full length photos of me and close ups of my face. "I think that's enough, thank you."

"Are you ready to see yourself in the mirror?"

"Yes," I breathed.

She turned the mirror over and revealed what I looked like. "Woah," I gasped.

"Good woah or bad woah?" She replied.

"Shocked woah." I replied. I looked up at her and noticed she looked worried. "A good shocked," I reassured her. "I look amazing. Thank you so much."

"It was nothing, this is what I do. Now go and make your presence known." She replied, shooing me out the door.

"Good idea," I replied.

She walked in front of me with all her supplies as we walked out of the room. "Have fun tonight," she said, turning back to look at me. "Kick ass, Dawson Enterprises is going to be lucky to have you."

I smiled at her and walked into the elevator.

Let's get this party started.
