Chapter 21
Zoey POV.
When I got out of the shower Selene was waiting so we could get dressed, do each others make-up and hair. She was sprawled out on her bed reading the latest issue of people magazine. I walked over to my bed and plopped down on it lying on my side facing S. "Ready to start getting ready?" I asked.
"Always." She said throwing the magazine on our table. Since Selene had moved into my room Lenobia had spoiled us buy buying us new desks, tables, bean bag chairs and a sofa. "So do you want to go first?" She asked me.
"Sure." I said and sat in the make up chair one of the other things Lenobia had bought us. Selene turned me away from the mirror so I couldn't look tell she was done. When she was done doing my make up she grabbed the curler.
"Do you want straight hair or curly?" She asked holding up the curler and flat iron.
"Surprise me." I said. I trusted Selene so I knew whatever she did it would look stunning. After about ten minutes she was done.
"Ready to look?" She asked me a little cautiously.
"Yep." She turned the chair around so I was now looking in the mirror. My long dark hair was curled all the way down and I had straight side bangs it looked amazing. My make up was fabulous I had a nice neutral tone eyeshadow with blue eyeliner on that made my eyes pop. "I love it." I said. I looked so good. Stark was going to be drooling all night.
"Good. You look perfect." Selene said.
"Your turn." I got up so she could sit down. First I stared with her make up. I did a black eyeliner wit dark blue mascara and a neutral eyeshadow. She was wearing the same tone of light almost clear pink lip gloss I was wearing. Then I moved onto her hair. I wanted to do have up do and half down do. First I curled the back of her hair and straightened the front hair. I pulled back the straight hair with a clip and let the curly hair flow down. It looked amazing. Selene looked so perfect.
"Can I see it?" She asked. I could tell she was excited so I turned her around. "I look hot. Thank you Z." She got up and hugged me. "Lets put on our dresses." Even though we were just going to the movies I though we needed dresses. We went over to our new walk in closet also thanks to Lenobia and grabbed our dresses. Mine was a flowing light pink with sparkles and a little very cute bow around the chest. Selene didn't want to get a dress because it was just a pity date to her but as soon as I saw the dress on the hanger I knew it was her. It was a strapless dark blue pleated dress with a silver bow around the chest. When we were done I got a text from Stark that said we needed to hurry up because Erik was bugging him. I showed Selene and she laughed.
"You wait here and I'll announce your entrance." I said she looked a little worried. "What's wrong?"
"I don't think my bro Stark is going to approve of what I'm wearing." She said.
"Oh don't worry about him. I can take him if he says anything." we laughed.
"Okay go announce my entrance." I left the room and headed down stairs to where Erik and Stark were standing. I stopped halfway on the stairs to give Stark a little show. He clapped and I kept walking.
"Where's S?" He asked me.
"I'm going to introduce her." He nodded in an oh expression. "Lady's and Gentlemen I give you the great daughter of Nyx: Selene." Selene appeared at the top of the stair looking a little embarrassed because all eyes were on her. She quickly got over it and started to strut her stuff down the stairs and over to where we were standing. She was so fearless. I looked over and Erik's mouth was on the floor Stark saw it to and closed his mouth. I laughed and Selene didn't even notice.
"You better watch it that's my sister your looking at like that." He said to Erik I laughed and Selene hit him. Then he turned to her. "Now you go change. You look awful." Now it was my turn to him him.
"Can't you just say I look nice Stark?" Selene asked he with pleading eyes. I knew he was going to cave.
"Fine you look beautiful sis." He said and I knew he meant it.
"Thanks." She reached into her matching bag and pulled out some car keys. "Here" she tossed them to Stark.
"What are they for?"
"I asked Lenobia to bring my other car back from storage." She shrugged and continued. "You didn't think I only had one car did you?" She laughed. "Its the new silver and black Audi. Its not that fake silver on the mini vans and stuff it the real silver so take care of it please?" She asked us.
"Of course." Stark said.
"And Erik we can drive my white Mercedes Benz convertible. Is that okay?"
"Yeah." He said.
"We'll meet you there S. And Erik touch her and I'll kill you." Stark said and we left them in the common room to go find our car.
Selene POV.
Ha! leave it to Stark to put the fear into someone. At least I know Erik won't try anything now, but I still had to pretend to like him for at least right now. "Don't worry he won't really kill you." I said to make everything a little bit more relaxed.
"I think he will." Erik said. I guess he wasn't as dumb as I thought because he knew Stark was telling the truth.
"Let's just go." I took his hand and led him to were all my cars were.
"Are all of these yours?" He was shocked. Da they were mine over all the years and birthday's. Neferet and Lenobia got me a new car every birthday I had for as long as I could drive.
"Yeah there gifts."
"From who?" He asked me as we got into the convertible. I was driving because I loved driving. That's why I had so many cars.
"From Lenobia and Neferet. They are birthday presents." Think about all the birthday's Neferet would be missing now mad me kind of sad. She always knew what I liked to do for them. Lenobia, Neferet and I would fly out to Paris at night of course and look at the moon from the Eiffel Tower. Then we'd go to Mexico for Mexican. It's what we did every year but I loved it. Now there would be no more of that because Neferet was dead. I felt a tear role down my face and I quickly wiped it away.
"Sorry I didn't mean to make you cry." He said. He sounded really concerned and I could tell because the moon was telling me so.
"Its not your fault. Really." I paused to program the GPS to take us to the movie theater. When we started driving down the road I continued. "Its just have you ever lost someone you really love and who really loved you. They were the parental figure in your life?" I asked him. I could tell I sounded so serious because I had never talked to anyone about losing Neferet and how I felt deep down inside. The weird thing was I was talking to Erik my stalker about it.
"No. I'm sorry I wish I knew how it felt. You can talk about it if you want." He said looking at me . It made me see that he wanted to know. I told him about the ritual we always do on my birthday and how Neferet and Lenobia were like mothers on earth for me. "Thanks for telling those things I knew it must be really herd for you." he paused. " You can talk to me about thing if you want." I just nodded not trying to lead him on.
"Where here." I said. He got quickly out of the car to open my door for me. "Thanks." Then he took my hand helping me out of the car. When I was out of the car he kissed me hand and let it go. I knew I was going to regret this but as soon as he let go I grabbed his hand and intertwined our fingers. We walked to the entrance holding hands. "Did you but the tickets?" I asked them Zoey held them out and Stark was looking at mine and Erik's hands. Erik let go. "Stark go away." I said to my bro. It was a pity date but Erik deserved to have a good one since he bought me my new favourite necklace.
"Stark leave them alone." Zoey said. She was on my side and he could see that but he still gave Erik dirty looks. I could tell he was uncomfortable. I grabbed his hand and intertwined our fingers again.
"Let's go." I said pulling Erik with me. "Don't sit near us" I yelled back to Zoey and Stark who were shocked I had just left them like that.
"Thanks." Erik said to me. He was a little bit more relaxed.
"I owed you one from before in the car." I said
"Okay." He looked down at our hands still twined together. "You can let go now." he told me but it wasn't in a rude tone.
"And if I don't want to." I challenged him.
"Then you hold my hand and don't expect me to let go during the movie." I nodded and okay. We went to sit a the very back. Stark and Zoey sat at the very front of the film. It was completely empty. "Have you seen this movie?" he asked me.
"No. you?"
"Yeah." Then why didn't he tell me that. Just then the movie started I cried at the end because now he was apart of a family and they all loved each other. I didn't realize my head was on Erik's shoulder until the movie was over. "Wanna get something to eat?" He asked me.
"Sure. We can give the two lovers the room to themselves for a little while. Plus I'm starving." We walked down the stairs to where Zoey and Stark with making out. "Were going to eat. So you guys have the room for a little." I said they both looked a little embarrassed. "When I text you I'm coming into the room you both better still have clothes on." Erik and I were about to leave when Stark said.
"Take care of her." That was sweet so I blew him a kiss and he caught it. Then I winked at Z. Erik and I walked back to the car.
"Where do you wanna eat?" I asked him because I didn't care.
"Junk food." He said and I laughed. We got into the car. I told the GPS to look for McDonald's and we we left the theater and headed to the fast food place.
Hope you like it. If your a little mad don't worry I have some magic up my sleeve.
Are they going to be a couple?
Love always,
Lat.
