go and have fun. Just as I start to relax Devil girl throws the name Delaney Green into the air and that brings me back down to earth with a hammering pain in my gut.
“He’s dating someone.”
“Is he? I didn’t know that.” Meagan’s head is still in my wardrobe she pulls out a black dress that I don’t think I’ve worn yet, “Perfect!”
“Delaney Green?”
Meagan stops and ponders for a second, “Ah wait, I think I do remember reading or seeing something but hey who cares.”
“I do!”
“Seriously if he was in a full-on relationship with someone, do you think he would’ve so openly sat with you in a restaurant?”
“Maybe?”
“Just stop and get dressed.”
“I have nothing to wear and I feel like a beached whale, I’m not going!” I flump onto the bed and bury my face into the piles of clothes strewn across it.
“You’re doing it again, quit toying with the voices in your head because I will work my magic and you will look beautiful!”
“In 30 minutes?” I lift my head from the bed
“Yes, now the black dress or the blue one you wore last night? I’m sure we can steam out the creases quickly,” she laughs
“Well, whatever, I had a bath earlier I don’t have time to go again.” I know I’m being obstinate but I’m in an awkward mood now.
“Did you tidy up…you know,” she points down to my private area.
“Yesterday but I’m certainly not going to be offering that up.”
“Don’t be so pissy! It’s best to be prepared though, nothing worse than letting the dog see the rabbit and finding out the rabbit is a rabid wild hare!”
This conjures up images in my mind that bring nervous giggles up from my stomach and make me laugh.
“Right get dressed and then I shall work my magic on your hair and makeup.” Meagan ushers me into the bathroom and thrusts the black dress into my arms.
After a rush job of dressing, hair and makeup I stand in front of the mirror while Meagan stands behind me admiring her handy work.
“Well, Cinderella you will go to the ball,” Meagan say ’s, pleased with her efforts.
I can’t quite believe it - I’m pretty stunned at the reflection looking back at me, I’m wearing a sleeveless black shift dress, black high heels and silver drop earrings.
“Let’s not forget the final piece,” Meagan reaches into my top drawer and pulls out a thick silver geometrically shaped bangle and passes it to me to slip on.
I slip it on then play with my hair , admiring what she has done. Just a simple side- parted messy bun with a few loose ends hanging down all complimented by the understated nude makeup, with minimal eyeliner.
“Wow.” I feel so grown up and I look my age!
“You like? Well even if you don’t it’s tough. I love it, its 8:55 so you’d best get going.” Meagan grabs my black military jacket off the bed.
I groan as my stomach starts doing summersaults, “Do you really think this is a good idea?”
“Yes! Now come on, I’ll walk down with you so you can’t back out.” Meagan rushes into the spare room to collect her bag and then meets me by the door.
We travel down in the lift together and the whole time she is going over and over things I must and mustn’t do.
“Please Ellie, just tonight let go, act at being the old you if only for a little while.”
“Will you please stop making me nervous then, please.”
As my nerves start getting stronger the duo reappear, Devil girl is dressed up as the hot dominatrix and Angel girl is wearing a beautiful white maxi dress – note to self - get one, it looks good on her.
We leave the lift and we walk through the lobby as Earl passes. He nods in acknowledgment then double takes and stops, “Off somewhere nice?”
I smile back curtly.
“Well he’s a very lucky guy, does your uncle know you’re off out?”
I freeze and my face drops then Meagan jumps in,
“I will let dad know, it’s fine, I will pick her up.” Turning away from Earl she drags me to the
