Belle of the Ball

Chapter Twenty Five - Diabolical Plan

Nancy has always been an expert in makeup, something I figured out in college when we used to lounge around bored in our dorm room. So, tonight when I asked her to transform my face into a blue alien from Avatar—she happily obliged in honor of it being Halloween. I touched my face in the mirror, being careful because I was trying not to smear any of the pretty details she had just gotten finished applying.

"This is so good!" I said, turning my head from side to side.

"Thanks! It was actually really fun to do. Although, attaching those weird pointy ears were not my favorite part."

"Yeah, it kinda hurt too."

"Well, the real question is—what am I going to be?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I dunno—what did you pick for a costume?" I asked.

"A Snow White outfit. It kinda shows off a lot of my body though."

"So? Mine has left absolutely, nothing to the imagination"

She gave me a once over. "Yeah, but since your skin is painted blue, you can barely tell that your tits and ass are hanging out."

"Well, you need to finish soon. Ryder says the party starts around eight."

It's been a few weeks since the break in, and Nancy and I felt comfortable enough to move back into her apartment. Ryder offered me to stay with him if I wanted too—but I just wasn't ready for that. Regardless how well we've been getting along, I felt it was just too soon to take such a big step. Although,  Nancy probably wanted me to get the hell out of her apartment by now.

"Yeah yeah. Who's idea was this anyway? It's freezing outside."

"It was Ryders idea, remember? He invited Jeremy to the party so he could maybe get some more proof of him sabotaging him.

"Oh yeah—and we're supposed to keep an eye on him." She replied. "And I'm supposed to be getting another fifteen hundred dollars."

"Excuse me?" I said, removing my gaze from my unrecognizable appearance, and shifting it to her face.

She looked at me, just as confused, with a hint of amusement lining her lips. "Did you think I was doing all this...spy work for free?"

I exhaled loudly, rolling my eyes in the process. I was trying my hardest not to snap on my best friend—but just knowing the girl was taking money from my boyfriend was slightly irritating to say the least.

"Whatever Nancy. Can you please go get dressed. I don't want to be late."

My tone was very much clipped and slightly cold, but I couldn't help it. Sometimes, Nancy could be so unthoughtful! And knowing this would be her second payment, made me feel strange about not knowing of the first one. Even still, I pursed my lips and kept from allowing any bad words to slip from them. I just turned my gaze back to my reflection, startling myself every time I looked.

Everything was so spot on! From the dark blue and light blue contrasts, and the fake elf-like ears, all the way down to the green contacts—I looked like I was a straight native on whatever home planet the blue aliens were from.

I placed the fabric of my costume in my hands, making sure it was situated right on my body; then after that, I lifted my breasts a little and exited the bathroom. I was determined now to make sure Nancy was ready so we could get the hell out of this apartment.

When we arrived at Ryders penthouse, the party seemed to be at full swing. There was plenty of people here I didn't know, decked out in fancy Halloween costumes, clearly having a nice time. The apartment was practically transformed, with spooky decorations all over the place, and tables set up all around with different foods. My eyes widened, just looking at the table that had a whole plaster of desserts on it—with small treats like candies to pair it with.
