Where Love Meets.

Chapter Eight ❤Edited❤

Jordan's POV

When Suzanne said extreme makeover she meant it, I mean she went to the extremes, she just went overboard. After our teary moment and eating our breakfast she lead me to her room, when we got inside she ran to her closet and began pulling off loads of dresses and threw them in the bed. At first I looked at her confused then looked at the stash of clothes she was throwing, I began scratching the back of my head, dumbfounded. She looked at me after noticing my expression and stopped what she was doing

"Don't worry, these dresses are when I was slimmer they don't fit me anymore and they will definitely fit you, some of them are not even worn, but I love keeping them" she said looking embarrassed, I sighed in relief because I thought she has gone totally crazy ,she is four dresses bigger than I am. I went closer to the bed and took a look at the dresses observing them perfectly to see if they are my style or not. some of them looked like they were from the 60' and others looked rather too elegant for my kind of style. I scrambled for more dresses putting the ones I like on the other side of the bed to fit them all. Suzanne kept looking at her wardrobe and pulling out dresses and mumbling some incoherent words 'man this woman has a lot of dresses for a housewife'

"I kept them for when Annabelle gets older" she said breathing heavily; she ought to be breathless from the way she was rummaging in the wardrobe. I kept looking at the dresses and selecting the ones I liked and putting them aside. When she was done she looked around the room and sighed deeply

"I've got a lot of cleaning up to do after this" she said giggling. I nodded, agreeing with what she said because it was like a hurricane in this room

" So you selected the ones you like? Let's go and try them on" she said pointing at the bathroom in the room where I could fit the dresses in. The first dress I took was a two tone lace and organza short cocktail dress, the dressed looked beautiful but it felt like the one I'd go to a party with and not a reunion and I think Suzanne agreed with me by her expression when I walked out, she gave me the next dress to wear which was royal bead working chiffon sweetheart sassy cocktail dress and that one did not suit me at all I looked funny in it that Suzanne couldn't hide it from because she burst in laughing when she saw me that I also laughed because I looked ridiculous

The third dress was a nice a-line beading- sleeveless floor- length taffeta dress and it was one of my favorite it hugged my figure really well and revealed a not too much of a cleavage and I walked out of the bathroom, Suzanne gasped when she saw me and took in my appearance

''It's beautiful 'She said and she signaled me to twirl around so she can see it in full detail

''But let's try other dresses to, just put this one on the side ...it will one of the favorite'' she said and I went to back to the bathroom to try out more. Hours went by trying on loads and loads of dresses and I was so exhausted that it became tiring and boring to try on the other dresses but my heart was still on the 3rd dress. Suzanne noticed my tiredness and took out another dress and held out to me

'' I know you are tired, but please try this last dress, I have not worn it, just try this last one'' She said enthusiastically .I sighed and went in the bathroom to try it on. It was a purple stealth column halter diamond -beading, sleeveless floor -length chiffon even dress and when I looked at the mirror, tears started welling in the corners of my eyes. I couldn't recognize the person I saw in the mirror, it was nothing like the girl i see in the mirror at me, I looked like a princess waiting for her prince

''You done?'' Suzanne said and I was quiet, I didn't utter a word I kept looking at the mirror with my mouth hanging open. Suzanne opened the door to check on me and when she saw me she just stared, she was shocked with her eyes wide turned back to look at her

''This is the dress, this is your dress 'she said breathlessly and I just nodded with tears in my eyes. She also shed a little drops of tears too and she came running to hug me tightly..We hugged for a while until she broke off

'' now we have to get your hair done'' she said beaming at me

'' I will take you to my hairstylist and hopefully he will squeeze you in because of the late appointment'' she said getting her phone and dialing the numbers. i looked at the dress again and smiled. I took off the dress and hung it at the corner and began packing and tidying up the place.

''He said we will and must we go now "she said excitedly jumping up and down. We finished tidying the bedroom and hurried to the car, we drove to the salon, while she kept telling me how excellent her hairstylist is. We got there and were met by a tall, rather slender guy with long brown hair and a nose piercing. He walked over to us and hugged Suzanne

''Brian this is my cousin Jordan, Jordan this is my hairstylist Brian'' she said to us. We shook hands and he dragged me inside the salon.

''You look so pretty'' he said in a country accent and made me take a seat. He washed my hair and tried up. My hair was long, below the shoulders and he cut it just to make it a shoulder length. He then curled my hair giving me a heavy wave hair. After i was done she went to some house and met a chubby lady

'' This is Kate my make-up artist, this is my cousin Jordan'' she said introducing us.

''Kate will come tomorrow to do your make-up before you leave'' Suzanne she said to me. We got home and found a note from Billy saying that Annabelle is at the neighbor's house and I headed to the bathroom for a shower. It's really amazing how the littlest things can make a difference in one's life; here i was scared of going to this bloody reunion and lying to my cousin about my so called fabulous life for no particular reason. I laughed at the thought that even though I was trying to impress her with my 'life' and telling her the truth she never once judged me or laughed shamelessly at me. Instead she supported me, and look I got the whole outfit with hair and make-up and never once did complain about anything.

I got out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and went to the bedroom to find Suzanne sitting in my bed waiting for my arrival

''Jordan we forget something... How are you gonna get there'' she said looking at me.

'' I'll take a cab there'' I said to her, walking to the wardrobe and taking out my pajamas.

''No you won't, a Lady dress like that cannot go with a cab?'' She said looking at me. I stared at her, has she forgotten, I don't have a car

''The event is in the evening and you have already done a lot for me and I don't want you driving at night for me'' I said getting dressed

'C'mon you know I won't mind...That's It'' she suddenly said her eyes looking up

"Billy's works in a funeral parlor. I could ask him to take one of the limos and take you there" she said jumping up and down, boy she really looked excited

'' I'll tell him tomorrow when he comes back because he'd probably come late today and I'll be asleep so I'll tell him first thing in the morning "she mumbled alone while walking out of the room. The she stood and the door and turned to face me

'' and honey, don't worry, everything will work out fine" she said before walking out. I got into the covers and looked at the ceiling and felt something I haven't felt in a long time..Relief.
