Thank you for the review. Yearh Spinelli is trying to keep an open mind, mainly because she doesn't have a choice, and she knows things could be worse. As for her meals, she is still not a fan of having to watch what she eats, but she could get used to it, she could get used to not eating so much. In regard to the flirting tips; yearh they're pretty much the same in both stories, because I found them both on the same website. As for my other story, I guess I had been getting writers block, so I deleted it, but I have the chapters on my computers, so if people want to, I can put it back up. Now onto the chapter.
Chapter 6: makeup tips
Yesterday had gone by somewhat slowly and rather boring for Spinelli, but she had a broken leg and was going to spend a long time with Ashley A, so she was just trying to make the best of a bad situation. Though she always felt hungry after every meal, because Ashley A had decided to dictate what she ate. So, eating smaller meals would take some getting used to, but it was just something she had to do.
She was once again awoken by Ashley A. "Wake up sleepy head, you can't lie in bed all day, we have plans for today."
"Huh, what time is it" Spinelli asked in a sleepy daze.
"Around 8 o'clock, but we have plans today" Ashley A said as a matter of fact, while wearing a bathrobe, and her hair up, before she continued. "now I will give you a chance to wake up while I will go get Joan to help you get a bath." And with that she had gone downstairs, only to return a few minutes later, this time around with the housekeeper.
While Spinelli was being helped out by the housekeeper, Ashley A decided on an outfit for herself and one for Spinelli. She decided on a white jean skirt with a pink tank top and pink flats for herself, and a pair of jean shorts with a red tank top and one red flat for Spinelli, deciding that since they weren't going today, then there would be no need for dresses.
For Spinelli bath time was the same as yesterday, with her feeling self-conscious about a stranger helping her out, but she just had to get through it and somehow get used to it. She was eventually helped back into the room and was kind of relieved that she wouldn't have to wear a dress today, but simply jean shorts and a tank top, despite it being kind of feminine, but it was better than dress. She was helped into the clothes by Ashley A, who afterwards told her to take a seat at the makeup table, where she would do her hair.
"You know we have quite the day ahead of us Ashley S, after breakfast I will teach you all about how to do your makeup, and then it will be time for lunch, then after lunch we will go deeper into teaching you table manners, then it's time for tea, where I will teach you all about how to behave at tea time, and then we can, like, watch one of my movies. Now how should I do your hair today. Oh, I know; I will braid it, that way people can see your face." Spinelli didn't say anything, she was feeling rather bored by how her day was being planned out, but she kept her feelings to herself, because she knew she had to be on her best behavior. Eventually Ashley A was finished with braiding Spinelli's hair, when the blonde put on the A-Necklace onto Spinelli's neck, before the two went down for breakfast.
Breakfast was of course the same as yester, with Spinelli having only one boiled egg, half a grapefruit and a cup of green tea, while Ashley A would have two boiled eggs, a piece of toast and one half of a grapefruit.
They went back upstairs after breakfast, where Ashley A told Spinelli to take a seat at the makeup table, before she began talking. "Okay Ashley S, i'm now going to teach you all about makeup. First a day look, then a party look, and finally a look for a fancy party. Oh, and don't you worry about not remembering it all because we can always go through it again tomorrow." With that, Spinelli knew that she had listen to what Ashley A had to say, because she had no desire to learn it again. So, soon enough Ashley A was teaching Spinelli how to apply makeup. After a while, Spinelli finally got the hang of the day makeup, then she learned to apply party makeup, and finally how to apply makeup for fancy party. Soon enough, she finally managed to get the hang of it, just in time for lunch. Ashley A told her that they would go over it again soon enough.
They then went down to get some lunch, which once again was a little portion to Spinelli and a bigger one to Ashley A, and once again something healthy. Spinelli wasn't a fan of it, but she knew that she would go hungry, if she didn't eat, so she took small bites. There was plenty of silence at the table, because Spinelli had no desire to talk to Ashley A. Though Ashley A was sure that the brunette would come around soon enough, and quickly abandon her old friends, old interests and old self, in favor of new friends, new interests and a new self. She just had find a way to get through to her, find some part of Spinelli that wanted to be a girly girl. She would find a way to crack the brunette and then revert her.
Soon enough lunch had ended, and the plates and glasses were being taken out to the kitchen. With a new set of plates, glasses and many spoons, forks and knifes, and Ashley A started talking about how Spinelli should know which set of cutlery went with which meal. Of course, Spinelli failed at that, she had no idea on what went with what, so Ashley A continued to instruct her on what went with what, and this continued until Spinelli was somewhat sure on it.
When they were done with that for the day, Ashley A decided that they should start on how to behave during teatime. They had moved into the living room and was now sitting on the couch. Soon enough came two cups, two saucers, and two dessert plates. Ashley A then started talking. "okay Ashley S, when you are being served tea, you, like, must remember some things: never slouch, always keep your legs closed, sit up straight and place your napkin on your legs." The blonde looked over at Spinelli to make sure she was doing it right. Ashley A then continued to speak. "also, when one of the maids arrive with the tea, finger sandwiches and cake, you take one cake or one sandwich gently, don't grab, if asked if you anything you either say 'yes please', or 'no thank you', but in your case you should probably just say 'no thank you'
Soon enough came one of the maids, with the tea, milk and sugar to the tea, she also brought finger sandwiches and cake. She then poured some tea into their cups and then asked. "Finger sandwiches anyone."
"No thank you" Spinelli answered.
"Yes please" Ashley A answered, clearly pleased with how Spinelli had been acting during the whole tea time, she was convince that the brunette would eventually see that life as an Ashley was the best option for her.
Eventually they were finished with drinking tea, and Ashley A decided that they should watch one of her movies, so they walked into the movie theater to watch a movie. Of once again it was a chick flick. Ashley A figured that if they watched enough of her favorite movies and tv shows, then Spinelli would see that those films and shows were much better for her to watch than scary movies, and wrestling.
Soon enough the rest of the day passed by, with Ashley A's parents coming home from work, and then it would be dinner time. Her parents asked what they had spend the day doing, and Ashley A answered that they had spent the day practicing makeup and just watching movies. Spinelli simply faked a smile and agreed with Ashley A, when asked if they had fun. She didn't want them to think that she didn't appreciate what they were doing for her, because she did appreciate what they had done for her, how they had taken her in for the summer.
Ashley A's mom then asked. "So, Ashley S, when is your next doctor's appointment"
"Uhm Friday next week, two weeks after I broke my leg"
"Well then in that case, one of us adults will go with you, when that is"
"Thank you."
Soon enough dinner had ended and once again was Spinelli watching a tv series with Ashley A, one that the blonde liked, and since Spinelli was feeling bored then she figured that she may as well pay attention to the tv.
Eventually it was getting late and the two of them were of to bed, with Spinelli thinking about how the day had went. Ashley A had filled up her day as she hadn't thought of her friends since she arrived. She was sure that it was just because she was tired and didn't bother trying to fight of the blonde, as long as she was as helpless as she was.
