Asking for Help Part 4
Contacts
"Alvin. I'm not too sure about this." Simon admitted as he stood in the dressing room at the department store.
"Simon. Your biggest problem when it comes to the ladies is your lack of confidence. If we get you looking confident, you'll feel more confident"
"Feel confident?" Simon asked as he emerged from the dressing room. "I feel restrained"
It was all Alvin could do to keep his mouth from dropping. Apparently, his nerdy brother was hiding a few muscles under the traditional oversized sweater as now he was wearing a light blue t-shirt and jeans that accented the muscles Alvin had assumed never existed
"Where the hell did you get those? And don't you DARE tell Dave I swore" Alvin asked pointing to the muscles
"I won't" Simon promised before answering as he looked at himself in the mirror. "I guess after that first time you made me your roaty. I couldn't stand the weight of the instruments so I started lifting weights so I can carry them easier. I didn't care if I got muscles from it or not."
"We're getting these" Alvin said remembering that Simon had his eyes on a specific girl
Alvin had dropped by one location first before heading home and got Simon a little surprise
"Now, one final touch" Alvin said handing Simon the surprise when they got home.
Simon backed away from the container with the two circles on it that had an L and an R on each circle.
Flashback
Simon was feeling pretty low. His family didn't seem to care about him.
"What's the point? Nobody cares" Simon sighed
"What the matter? Feeling unappreciated?" a voice came from out of the blue
"Who are you" Simon asked the little devil on the dresser
"Your better half" the bad Simon said
"Huh?" Simon asked confused as he took off his glasses and looked at the glasses-less chipmunk on the dresser
"it's the contacts" he explained "Nobody recognizes me"
End Flashback
"They won't bite you Simon" Alvin said
Simon took a deep breath and took the contacts.
"Now, put on the new clothes and the contacts and come get me when you're done. I'll be downstairs" Alvin said
Meanwhile,
"Yes!" Brittany screamed when she found the outfit she wanted for her sister and ran to bedroom where Eleanor was being Brittany's assistant and pulling back Jeanette's hair in a high ponytail.
"Jeanette" Brittany told her sister. "If this boy doesn't ask you out, he's an idiot. Now, I have a proposition for you"
"Uh oh" Eleanor and Jeanette said
"Jeanette" Brittany said gently and seriously. "I know you prefer your glasses, but your green eyes will stand out SO much better if you'd just wear these"
She held out a container with two circles that had an L on one and an R on the other.
Jeanette gulped. She had tried contacts once and didn't care much for them. But as she was going for a new look, she decided that her dream boy was worth it
"Okay" Jeanette said
