Chapter 2- CPOV- Best Song Ever
It was 6:30.
"Seriously Tori?" I called as my alarm went off playing one of the breakup songs I'd been listening to these days, "Easy" by Rascal Flatts. You want good breakup songs? Look at country music.
"Yup! It will take some time to pretty you up and we want to be at the mall as soon as it opens. Do you want to take the Prius or the Camaro?" She asked, as she stepped out of the bathroom. She was wearing a silver tank and tight skinny jeans. Her hair was in a ponytail, tied with a silver elastic. Silver heels clicked on the hard wood of the bedroom floor. "Come along. Take a shower while I pick out an outfit. Just don't let your hair get wet. " Tori began flipping through clothes as I got out of bed.
Moving toward the bathroom that she had just vacated, I pulled on a simple, blue plastic shower cap. Turning on the hot water, I undressed and stepped in. Allowing the water to soothe my tense muscles, I relaxed listening to 'I Keep On Lovin You' by Reba McEntire. I washed and used the facial cleanser before getting out. On the toilet, sat a crystal blue halter and a pair of black skinny jeans. Along with the other necessities. Pulling the outfit on, I looked in the mirror, and smiled. The crystal blue of the halter complimented my eyes and it looked really good. You see, this is why you go to Tori when you want to dress to impress.
Walking out, Tori looked at me and gave me a huge smile. "Alright, now a couple pairs of diamond studs are lieing on the dresser, along with a matching bracelet. Pick the pair you want, then put on these wedges." Placing a pair of silver shoes on a chair, she went back to flipping through hair accessories.
Walking over to the dresser, I picked out a set of simple diamond studs and the matching, diamond set bracelet. Putting these on, I walked over to the shoes as I put in the studs. Once these were on my feet and strapped, I turned to Tori.
"Well?" I asked, slightly scared. Tori turned and said, "Hair and makeup, then I give my full opinion and you tell me what you think." Tori sat me in the chair, and began her tedious task of making my wispy, uncontrollable hair pretty, or least kept up.
A good thirty minutes, 2 elastics, a handful of bobby pins, a blue flower clip, a whole can of hairspray later, plus several colored words during my makeover, I was allowed to look. And I couldn't help staring. The full length mirror showed me a young woman.
She had honey-brown hair that had two, small braids leading back to a complicated looking rope-twist bun. A blue, lily-like flower was placed gently on top of her left ear. Her makeup brought out blue eyes that had honey bangs hiding the left, causing her to be over intriguing. A pair of studs glittered gently in her ears. Her lips were a soft, rosy color and the blue halter she wore seemed to deepen her blue eyes. The black jeans weren't too tight, and only complimented her curves, hugging all the right places. And a pair of silver heels made her only seem older, efficient and professional. She was a beautiful woman.
"Tori?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yes?" Tori asked from behind me, her hands resting on my shoulders.
"Thank you." I whispered, looking at myself in the mirror. I couldn't believe it, the woman standing before me, was, well... me.
After sending a quick text to Simon, Katie Armiger's 'Best Song Ever' began playing through the sound system. Don't ask me how Tori managed it, but she was great with computer and softwares of all types. It doesn't really surprise me that she was able to get into the apartment's system.
Tori and I giggled as we walked down the stairs to the breakfast bar. We sang along with the chorus, and just didn't talk about Derek. Well, we did, but only to make fun of him. When we walked in, we ignored how the few people who were in here hushed. I ignored Derek's stare as his new 'girlfriend' tried to regain his attention. Simon sat at the bench behind him and we joined him once we were through the line and had our food.
"Hey Simon!" I greeted, giving him a smile.
"Hello Chlo."
'Ask her' Tori mouthed.
"So Chlo," Simon pretended to blush and rubbed the back of his neck. "Do you want to go out to the movies or something?"
I giggled, and gave him a reassuring smile. It seemed like the entire restraunt was holding its breath.
"Of course, Simon!" I giggled and stood. Then, I gave him a kiss on the cheek before Tori took me by the hand and led me away. I looked over my shoulder and gave Simon a small wave. I also glanced at Derek, and saw him clench his jaw. And then he mouthed, 'crap!'
I looked ahead of me, and smiled happily. This was going better than I thought.
Taking the Camaro, we headed for the mall. It was about eight when we got there and there were only a few people.
"Okay, so what kind of theme do you want to do for your party?" Tori asked as we entered to one of the stores.
"How about a costume party?" I wondered out loud. Tori beamed at me.
"Perfect! Any ideas for your costume?" I gave her a sly grin before whispering in her ear my perfect idea. Tori giggled excitedly.
"Yes, yes, YES!" she practically screamed. And then we hurried out and towards a store we were sure to find the perfect outfit at.
When we got home, we had Tori's, mine, and Simon's costumes ready. We also had some new outfits for me. We had been planning the party and the invites our entire shopping trip and ride home. This would probably be the best party ever!
"Wait! We got sidetracked! We need to get you ready for you 'date' with Simon!" Tori yelped as we set down the bags we had carried into our room. Ripping through the bags, she found one of my favorite outfits that we had bought that day. A pale pink dress with sleeves that hit my elbows and the skirt barely hit my knees. Pulling out a silver chain necklace and a pair of pink flats, Tori shoved me towards the bathroom. "Get changed!"
I quickly stripped myself of the halter and jeans and pulled the dress on, along with the flats. Clasping together the necklace as I walked out, I twirled for Tori. The skirt fanned outshine the top continued to hug my top half.
"Perfect." She gave me a nod, then sat me in the chair. She adjusted my makeup, changing the eyeshadow from blue to silver, and the blue lily to a pink rose. She added a last layer of gloss to my lips before deeming me done.
A knock sounded on the door. I yelped in surprise and Tori laughed at me. I shot a glare at her while flushing pink as she went to answer the door. But it wasn't Simon standing there.
"Derek?!"
*evil laugh* A cliffy! I'm so proud of us. I wonder how long it will take us to put up Chapter 3...
Yes, a costume party is horribly cheesy, but it works well with the story and well...you will all agree that my surprise costume for Chloe will be perfect. It will be amazing! And may we ask for reviews? We love 'em!
Toodles!
