Bleed, Patch, And Keep Moving - An Apex Legends Story

Chapter 47 - Surprise Party

Saturday morning came too quickly and too early for Ajay when she got a knock on her door. Her body was fatigued from lack of sleep and stress. She opened the door only for Anita to push the door open and walk in with Renee, and Natalie. All of the women had their dresses in hand as they entered Ajay's room.

Ajay just stood there and held the door open for them, because she didn't seem to have any other choice. "Hair and makeup kid." Anita told her as she sat down on the bed. Ajay shrugged and rubbed her tired eyes as she shut the door. Ajay motioned to the front of the bed as she walked over to her suitcase to remove makeup and items to style hair, "Okay... Who be goin first?"

Natalie skipped over and sat down on the on bed where Ajay pointed. Ajay got her flat iron and make up ready while Natalie tried to not jump for joy. "Thank you Ajay, I'm so excited!" Ajay offered her a tired smile and pinned some up of Natalie's platinum blonde hair to get it out of the way. Natalie's hair only came down to her shoulders, which made it easy to work with. 

Ajay looked over Natalie's fair skin and decided to use a combination of blue and turquoise eye shadow. Ajay then applied black eyeliner and mascara to intensify Natalie's already fierce blue eyes. Natalie smiled as Ajay brushed on some light pink blush and then added the same tone of lipstick. After that Ajay used the flat iron to style Natalie's hair into cute waves.

Ajay carefully helped Natalie get into a sleeveless white dress that came up to her neck. The top part of her dress that covered her torso was made of lace. The bottom part of her dress was fluffy with layers of white silk and a layer of black tulle in between. The front of the dress came to Natalie's knees and the back of the dress fell to the floor. Natalie slid on a pair of opened toed, strappy heels that were black and sparkly.

Renee took her turn but didn't really want too much done. After much fuss she finally let Ajay put a headband in her hair. The headband had a few swirl designs that were encrusted with small diamonds. Ajay decided that she would use a combination of light and dark purple eye shadow to bring out Renee's blue eyes. Ajay added black eyeliner and mascara. Renee's complexion wasn't as fair as Natalie's so Ajay gave her a more bronzed blush and lipstick.

Ajay provided Renee with minimal help when Renee got her dress on. Renee's dress was black with long, see-through sleeves. The front of the dress came to a v shape, with the tip of the v pressed just below her breasts. The dress wasn't long and it stopped just above her knees. She wore back thigh high leggings that had some floral design on them. She completed her outfit with lace up, black platform boots.

Anita sat down on the bed and waited for Ajay to work her magic. "Don't make me look too pretty. I have a reputation to uphold." Ajay nearly rolled her eyes, "Shut up Sergeant hard ass." Natalie giggled underneath her hands. Renee gave Natalie a weird glare but it didn't stop Natalie from laughing. Ajay wondered how sheltered Natalie had been growing up. Anita tapped her foot against the floor a few times to gain Ajay's attention.

Ajay didn't need to do much with Anita's hair because it was always kept short. Ajay did notice above Anita's ears, she had shaved two distinct lines into her hair to either side of her head. Ajay used some red and orange eye shadow because the colors went well with her brown eyes. Ajay added some black eyeliner to the outer edges of Anita's eyes followed by some white eyeliner to the inner edges. Ajay finished with some red mascara. Ajay didn't do much more except add some clear gloss to Anita's lips. Ajay didn't bother with blush because Anita's skin was beautiful.

Anita changed into her dress which more like a suit. The top of the dress looked like a suit top with a collar around the neck and long sleeves. It was long in the back and cut to the knees in the front. The front had a slit in the middle to make it easier to walk. The dress was black with a wide black accent belt around her waist. Anita slipped on some red heels with peep toes that were accented with some gold chains on them.
