Previously, on Twists and Turns…
No one has a perfect life, but they can live for the moment.
Live While We're Young.
I woke up to a phone ringing.
I sat up, quickly realizing that arms were wrapped around me again. Emma was sleeping peacefully, her face full of pure innocence, Percy and I's arms around her. Percy was passed out next to her, a bit of drool leaking out of his mouth.
I decided to save him a bit of embarrassment and wiped his drool with the blanket.
I stared at Emma, brushing her hair out of her eyes.
The phone rang again.
I carefully extracted myself and answered the house –apartment- phone.
"Hello?"
"Someone must've had a fun night." I recognized the voice immediately.
"Shut up, Pinecone Face." I said back, "Why are you up at," I looked at the clock, "8 AM on a non-work day?"
Thalia hesitated, "No reason."
I smiled, "Would it be because a boy stayed over?"
"Shut up!" she then hung up.
I chuckled at the dead phone tune.
I took a quick shower and changed my clothes, and then I made pancakes. While I was making the batter, I put a few drops of blue food coloring into it, remembering Percy saying something about loving blue food.
If you were wondering why I have blue food coloring in my cupboard, I have a blog, and a vlog and I post about things like cooking, books, etc.
I actually get money from people who buy my books about cooking, and the short stories I wrote, plus some of the clothing and jewelry I made.
Just as I was finished frying the pancakes to a golden brown, Emma's room door opened and out stepped a freshly washed Percy and Emma.
Emma ran towards me and hugged my legs; I put down the plates with the blue pancakes on them on the kitchen island and hugged her back.
"Thanks youw!" she mumbled into my legs.
I picked her up and set her on my hip and poked her, making her giggle, "That's what mothers' are for right?" She nodded, smiling.
"Also! Pewrcy said that I can call him Dawddy! Is that owkay?" she asked me in her cute little voice.
"Of course, whatever you want, cutie." I looked up at Percy, who stared at the pancakes longingly, but I can tell he was listening because his cheeks were rosy.
"Anyway, who wants pancakes?" I asked.
"MEEEEEE!" Emma dragged out the word and tried to wiggle out of my grasp. I let her go and she tried to get on the stools but it was too high, I was about to help her but Percy beat me to it.
"Up you go." He said.
I smiled and went to get the syrup, "What flavors do you guys want?"
Emma's answer was immediate, "Chocolate!"
"Do you have strawberry?" Percy asked.
I, of course, had both.
I put them out in front of them, along with honey for me.
Emma tried to put the Hershey's chocolate syrup on her pancake, but her little hands couldn't open the bottle, so I helped.
Percy waited until I ate until he did.
His eyes widened when he tasted it, he gulped down a few more bites until he forced himself to slow down.
"WOW!" Emma said with her mouth full.
"Yeah, wow." Percy agreed.
"Thanks."
"You're wewcome!" Emma replied, stuffing her face with more pancakes.
After we finished all the pancakes, Percy and I washed the dishes while Emma watched SpongeBob Square Pants on Nickelodeon.
"Thanks, you know, for what you did yesterday." I told him.
He shrugged, "It was nothing, I didn't have the most amazing childhood, but Emma deserves one." He looked out into the living room, where Emma was sitting and giggling at what Patrick did.
I smiled, "Yeah, she does."
We continued our work in comfortable silence, lost in our own thoughts.
Soon, when we were done, we joined Emma on the couch.
After the SpongeBob show was done, we told Emma that Percy needed to go.
She begged him not to go, giving us the puppy dog eyes.
We couldn't resist and I said he could stay until he wanted to go.
"YAY!" she cheered and then stopped, staring at us with eyes that promised that I would regret my decision.
"Can we play dress up?" she asked us so hopefully that I agreed to let her dress me up. I couldn't stand her disappointed face.
I expected to get dressed up in puffy stupid pink dresses, but I was wrong. Which isn't a lot.
Emma dressed me in one of my cocktail dresses. It was a gift from Silena for my sweet sixteen, it was a miracle that I still fit it, maybe because that when I got it, it was a size to big. The dress was a knee length deep pink, almost red, strapless cocktail dress. It had a wrap around on the torso and it puffed out at the hips. It also had a blood red bow on the top left side of the dress.
She put some rose smelling red lipstick and strawberry flavored lip gloss, though not much. She also put a little pink blush on my cheeks, and light gray eye shadow. I put on mascara and eye liner myself since she didn't know how. Plus, even though we wouldn't admit it, we were scared she would blind me.
Then she went to my hair, and Percy is watching TV in the living room since Emma wouldn't let him see me until she was done dressing him up. He left for a little to get whatever Emma told him to get, since she wouldn't tell me.
Anyway, back to my hair. She brushed my hair and told me to curl it a little, since she couldn't.
"How do you know all this?" I asked her while I was curling my hair.
"Oh, Auwnt Silena and Pipwer taught meh. And! I also saw it on TV." Oh yeah! I dropped her off at their house when I was out yesterday.
Yesterday.
Just one day ago, so much has happened.
Soon after, I finished curling my hair, and Emma took a bit of hair from each side of my head and braided them until they met and tied them together with a rubber band.
"Wow, you're really good at this." I noted.
She grinned at me, "I did it again and again from when I knew how to do it."
She then stood up and ran towards my closet and rummaged through it for some moments before saying, "AHA!"
She dropped a pair of low strappy 2 inch heels the same shade as my dress on my lap and told me to put them on. It came with the dress as a gift from Silena.
After I put them on, she dashed to my drawer and took a necklace, some bracelets, earrings, a ring, and perfume.
The necklace had a simple silver chain with a sapphire gem hanging from it. The bracelets were silver hoops, the earrings were my favorite silver owl earrings, and the ring was a silver band with a sapphire heart in it. It was a box set, along with the perfume, which I got during 75% discount, and then getting another 15% discount because I worked there.
I put them on and Emma said I could look at myself in my full length mirror.
I took one look at myself standing next to Emma and gasped.
I looked…
I looked….. Oh my Gods!
Emma grinned like the Cheshire Cat, pleased with my reaction. "You look like the Greek Goddess Aprodite."
I agreed for the first time in my life without disgust as I stared at my reflection.
"Now," Emma said, smirking, "youw have to staw here untiwl I say youw can go. I still need to work on Pewrcy!" At this, I smiled, and couldn't wait to see what Emma did to him.
A/N: DONE! I did this at school on Thursday when I brought my laptop. PHEW! So tired, had to crane my neck so I could see the screen since I sat in a relaxation room (reading room only for e-reading club). I love the place though.
