"Okay now you can look hon."
I open my eyes to inspect Martha's work and the air whizzes out of me.
The agitating wait was worth it.
She has curled my hair. It's shiny and soft framing my face. I sweep my hands through feeling it between my fingers.
It feels like silk threads. I don't know why am suddenly reminded of cotton candy.
She cut off a few inches and levelled it.
The vibrant red brings out the almost invisible gold in my eyes. Temi's is more potent in her blue. I feel beautiful.
Martha is right. Good hair fixes everything and am actually starting to dig the red.
I get up from the stool as Jake comes in very excited. Somehow Martha convinced the boys they need hair cuts too.
"Whoa. You look stunning Thea."
"Thanks Jake. You'll look amazing too."
"Nah, I doubt I'll give Thoren a heartattack like you."
He winks and enters the bathroom leaving me standing in the master bedroom looking like a fish mouth hanging open.
How he's my brother I have no idea. He always leaves me gaping short for a retort.
Temi emerges from my room where Eric insisted to do her hair. But I knew he just wanted to catch up on the last months he missed of her life. It's in the same style like mine. Curled and wavy, the exact inches trimmed off.
"Are we going the stars of the clone wars today?"
I laugh so hard I double over.
"Only if you get red hair. We completely rock all the hair colours. Thinking about signing us as hair models." I manage to catch my breath as we head downstairs.
Thoren is seated on the last steps. He turns to look up as we descend and his jaw practically drops. I blush and laugh.
"Oh my goodness Thoren stop drooling all over my sister in my prescence." Temi stomps away in mock disgust outside giving us some privacy.
"You look breath taking."
"Nothing a little trim, mighty curler and hair dryer can't fix."
A step below me we are face to face. He leans in and kisses me softly.
"Now now Thoren you don't want to mess up Martha's handiwork. She'll be mad."
We spring apart as Eric eyes us with a smile. I want to hide. Caught.
"Come on. Time for your trim too and you desperately need it."
He beckons him as he turns around and disappears back to my room I guess.
"Later babe."
Thoren gives me a chaste kiss before he jogs up the stairs leaving me a mess. I match outside and tilt my head up.
"It must have been a good kiss. What with that ridiculously huge grin on your face."
Temi is sitting on the steps.
"Stop eavesdropping on my thoughts"
I try to kill the smile as I sit next to her but it doesn't leave.
"I didn't need to. You look like a Cheshire cat and the equation isn't hard to sum up."
"He just makes me happy suddenly. And I love it."
I defend myself.
"I know. I can feel it whenever you are with him. Am just jealous." I am taken aback.
