Chapter 10: Teasing.
In the morning we wake up to the door being opened by Earney "Wake up! Rise and shine sleeping" he then realizes that Joseph is also in the room with me. "Ok I have a question, is this all for the cameras or are you two actually in love?" Joe and I both look each other in the eyes then turn to Earney and say simultaneously "Love." We both turn to each other and kiss each other tenderly on the lips only a peck though. Don't want Earney to start getting grossed out with our bad manners. Although it would be kind of nice to freak him out. But I decide not to. Because I'm a nice person.
"Well since your both here now I don't have to go to both of your rooms. You have the chariots today it will be tiring. So you need to have a full belly breakfast. It starts in half an hour." Earney then leaves the room."Sooooooo… half an hour" Joe comments. We have a little time then" I look up Joe and I kiss for about four minutes. We then get up and get ready. Putting our clothes on. "I need to go to my room to get something." Joe says "Ok I'll come with you."
Once we had finished putting our pants on we went to Joe's room. Outside his door I wait for him to come out because I wasn't allowed to go in with him he said. He then comes out with a bunch of flowers. "These are for you." I smile and wrap my arms around him completely crushing the tulips. We then let go and "Oh well" I say "I love you more than the flowers." Trying to give an excuse to Joe. "I love you to Eve" We smile and hold hands leaving the crushed tulips behind on the floor. We get to the table, everyone already there including Diana and Joe's stylist.
We sit at the table and eat most of the food. When I felt nicely filled Both Joe and I get the back packs from the table and put them on then are ushered by our stylists to another onslaught of being pricked. My prep team go absolutely ballistic when I have a pimple arise in the middle of my chin. They paint my nails black and first they cover my face in skin coloured make up then they make my whole face darker and add some silver to my lips. I hate it.
By that time Diana ha left and once she had come back with the thing I am going to wear it must have been 11am. Diana without saying a word helps me into black webbed stockings. Then she helps me into a strapless soft dress covering from under my arms to my knees clinging to my skin to add figure. The fabric is soft but it doesn't look like it the skirt is ripped and torn to look like it is ragged. I then get escorted to my chariot. Joe is already there. He looks at me, eyes wide. "You look so beautiful." He exclaims. A smile occurs accidently on my face "thank you" I blush. I notice his outfit is the same as mine but more manly of course.
He is already in the chariot and I grab his hand he gives to me then he pulls me up. We wait and before I know it we are being pulled across the field into the blinding lights of the cameras.
