Under A Dark Cloud

Chapter 6

" I don't think I like this outfit at all. "

I examined myself in the mirror as I hid my distaste at the black leather dress Ashlyn made me wore out of 10 other outfits she made me try inside her apartment. The dress itself fits me like it was a second skin, hugging every curve of my body but the dress was extremely short ( in my opinion ) since it stopped in the middle of my thigh, exposing a lot of leg, and there was a deep v-line in the upper part of the dress, showing the' valleys ' of my breasts as well. To be honest, I'm afraid that if I mess this up, people are going to see parts I don't want them to see.

" Can I switch back to the tight white blouse with the long lace beige sleeves and the brown mini skirt? I don't feel confident of myself in this get-up, " I whined as I looked at Ashlyn, wearing a decent looking albeit skinshowing get-up than mine.

If I were to describe Ashlyn in just one word, I would describe her as Hot in capital letters. Her caramel hair now in beautiful bouncy waves that fits her petite face and her make up made her look even more fierce and seductive. She just leveled up from a tigress to a huntress.

Ashlyn pouted and stood beside me, facing at me in the mirror view,

" Oh, shush. You look Ah-mazing and drop-dead gorgeous. Where have you been? Hiding all your curves from the world like that? And if I were a guy right now, I'd totally jump at you. No homo intended though. "

" Well, I guess I'll say thanks for the compliment but I don't like showing too much skin. "

" Psssh, You sound like Dylan. We're not in the cafe anymore. It's time to rip off your old skin and show the world how crazy hot and wild you are tonight! " Ashlyn said as she gave my arm a squeeze as she went back to her closet to get something.

I smiled as I looked at myself in the mirror one more time. Well, I guess it's true I look gorgeous in this type of look and Ashlyn was right, Her " magic " does incredible things to me.

Although the make up she did on me was light, it emphasized the features of my face. The smoky dark eyeshadow effect somehow emphasized my golden hazel eyes, making them pop out. The light maskara brightening my face for a bit while it accentuated my cheekbones and the bright red lipstick made my lips look plump yet seductive.

I would be damned if what Ashlyn predicted about men falling at my feet and worshipping me like a goddess came true.

I felt a light tap on my shoulder as I turned around to see Ashlyn holding up black pumps. My eyes widened at the killer heels as i shook my head ' no ' nervously.

" No way. "

Ashlyn grinned and nodded at me,

" Totally yes way. "

" Are you sure we aren't being stood up by him? " Ashlyn asked me the fifth time impatiently, " I feel like we're being tricked by his devious words of a promise in taking us to the club tonight and I really want to be on that club. "

I laughed as she frowned at me. I gave her a smile as I waved her impatience away,

" Relax. Sure he's late but he'll come around in a few minutes. Remember guys takes their time seriously and they know how to keep their promises. Unless he's a playboy, then we're being stood up. "

Ashlyn bit her lip and looked to her side. Then, she looked down in the pavement and sighed,

" Alright. I trust you in trusting his word even though I don't want to. But you better be right that he'll keep his promise. I'll give him another 5 minutes or else I'm calling a cab to pick us up and pay using your paycheck! "
