Thickk-Umzz: A Thick Girls' Tale

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I had been preparing for this moment all day.

Kimani having dragged me to a waxing place forcing me to get damn near my whole body waxed including my lady bits. When we got back to our dorm she made me take a long hot bath saying that it'll soothe my skin, which it did. THANKFULLY.

After drying myself off and taking care of my other personals, I stood naked in front of the mirror. Watching myself intently. Looking over my body trying to become one with myself. Looking for reasons any reasons to love myself. But I just couldn't find any. Not one damned reason. My mama's voice rang loudly in my head from the conversation we'd had before I left home.

"You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else."

I knew what she'd said was true. But, how could I? How could I love myself?

Before I could continue to beat myself up Ki knocked on the bathroom door.

" Come onnn Nique, we only have roughly 45 minutes before he gets here. We still gotta do hair, make up, and get you dressed." She ranted.

" Alright, Alright. " I told her coming out of my bathroom with my robe to cover myself up.

She pushed me towards her desk chair and her desk that was loaded with makeup.

" This is going to be fun." she grinned rubbing her hands together.

" Oh god Ki, you're gonna make me look like a damned clown." I said pouting, folding my arms across my chest.

"No I'm not. You'll see. " she insisted turning me away from the mirror so I couldn't see the damage I was sure she'd do to me.

After about 25 minutes she finally finished with my hair and makeup.

" Ok, I'm done. But you can't see until you get dressed." she told me covering the mirrors around the room.

I groaned. " Ok. Ok. "

She turned around so she couldn't see me.

After fumbling around I was finally dressed. I'd decided to wear a tan colored hooded shirt, The front of the shirt has strings that tie it together, it felt like suede. I picked a pair of black jegging with zippers along the front of my legs, stopping at my thighs. With a tan suede jacket, finishing my outfit I put on some brown leather riding boots.

" I'm finished." I announced and she turned around her eyes widened.

" What? What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

" See for yourself." she said pulling me over to the full length mirror and counted.

" 5. . 4 . . 3 . . 2 . . 2 and ½ . . 2 and 2 quarters-"

" Oh come on already." I cut her off making her laugh.

" 1." she said pulling the cover off the mirror so I could see myself and what I said shocked the hell out of me.

I looked beautiful. She'd done my make up in a very flawless natural look with beautiful winged eyeliner that made my eyelashes pop. The natural makeup went perfect with my outfit. She began to mist my natural hair with water, leaving it in its tight coily curl form but tighter.

" You like it? " she asked nervously.

" Like it? Ki, I freakin' love it. " I sung and hugged her tightly.

" I can't breathe." She rasped out.

" Oh sorry. Thank you so much."

" You're very welcome. Now come on let's head downstairs he should be here any minute now." she said pulling me out of the door.
