Bab 16: The Perfect Dress
"Ida I'll do that for you, after all it's what I'm here for." I tell her.
"Are you sure I mean I can do it myself." She says.
"It's fine Ida I got it." She hands me the spray bottle and cloth and I begin washing the glass.
"So, I haven't seen you in a while what have you been up to?" She asks while pushing up her glasses.
"Well really just school and more school. Tomorrow my class is going to Germani Enterprises to see how business works. Also, I have a date tonight." I turned the cloth over and began cleaning on the bottom glass.
"Finally, I never thought you would get a date." She says in a surprising tone.
"Are you sure you and Lyra aren't the same person?" I ask her.
She laughs at my response and hands me a new cloth. I hand her the dirty one and she gives me a new one. I bend down and wipe the barriers of the glass.
"I am positive. I remember my first date. His name was Jimmy Daniels. He was not only cute but very popular. He took me to the local diner in our town called frenzy fries. It was the worst first date ever." She says.
"What did he do that so bad?" I asked curiously.
"He was dense and he only talked about himself the whole time. Then I heard from my friends after he dropped me off, he went to another girls house." She replied back to me.
"Are you serious? That's terrible. I hope Myers doesn't do that to me." I said.
He is a kind of popular guy and all the girls do flirt with him. Could just be going out with me to make fun of me? I don't really hang out with anyone except for Lyra and if jacks around then jack.
"Honey that's one in a million it won't happen to you." She pats me on the leg and goes back into the store. I finish cleaning the windows and walk inside the store. I throw the dirty rags in the basket and put the spray on the shelf. The store actually has people in it today mostly older people most likely looking for old art. For the rest of the day I sit behind the desk working on school work while Ida was in the back doing the books. I check my phone to see it's 5:00 I grab my bag and yell to Ida I'm leaving. She wishes me good luck on my date and I get in my car and head on over to Lyra's house. I really do hope she found me a nice dress.
I know that I asked for slutty but do I really want slutty? I don't want Myers to think I'm cheap or something. 20 minutes later I pulled up to her house. Lyra has a very nice house it's a Tudor home. I walk down the driveway to be welcomed by windchimes and the smell of roses. Lyra's mother loves to garden a lot she's always giving me and Grandfather flowers which we greatly appreciate. The windchimes she says makes her feel 'at one with the birds'. I knock on her brown oak door to be welcomed by her little brother Max.
I give him a smile and ruffle his hair. Max is 8 years old with two missing teeth. To lyra's he's 'the demon spawn of Satan'. He's always getting into her makeup and trashing her room up. I don't have any siblings so I can't relate thank god.
"Hey Max where's Lyra at?" I ask him while he twirls in a circle.
"She's in her room most likely talking to her boyfriend." he says in a disgusting tone. I laugh at him and head to Lyra's room. "Lyraina, Quinn's here!" He screams to Lyra as she screams at him for saying her full name.
"CALL ME THAT AGAIN AND I'LL CUT YOU TO PIECES!" I belch out a laugh and walk into her room to see her on the floor painting her feet aqua blue.
"HEY, you're supposed to have dresses out or something." I tell her with my hands up.
She finishes painting her last toe and hangs on to her bed post to stand up. She wobbles over to the closet and starts to take out some dresses.
"I can't work if the muse isn't here, that's you Harlequin in case you are wondering." She responds back to me while handing dresses to me from her closet. "Look at those and see if you like any of them".
I sit all the dresses on her bed and observe them all. The first one I lay my eyes on is a black mini dress with holes in the cut-out shape of hearts on the side, that's a no. The next one is purple dress with an oval cut out in the breast part, too club-like. The third one is red long dress, not the right occasion.
"Lyra none of these dresses are doing anything for me." I tell her as I turn around to see her walking over with one dress in particular.
"I think this is perfect for you." She says to me as she puts it up to my body. We turn together to her purple mirror covered with stickers. My eyes widen at the dress with awe, it's quite beautiful. It's a silk black dress with straps on it. It's simple but perfect for the date.
"I love it, it's beautiful and perfect." I say while gawking at the dress.
"Perfect babe, go to the bathroom freshen up and I'll find the clothes and jewelry." She tells me while shooing me to the bathroom. I shut the door to the bathroom and get busy. I freshen up my mouth with mouth wash and cleaned my face. Jumping in the shower I do a quick scrub down and throw on clean undergarments, some new ones that Lyra hasn't worn thank god. I head out the bathroom with a robe on to find Lyra lying the dress, shoes and jewelry on the bed for me.
"Hey sit down so I can do your hair. "She tells me as she gets her hair items. I sit in her swivel chair. Can't wait to see the transformation.
"So did you get your jacket back?" Lyra asked while grabbing her brushes and combs out of her purple bin.
"Yes I did."
"So give me the deets."
"Well we sat in my backyard and ate cookies on my porch."
"And." She said trying to rush me to say more.
"ANDDD... we almost kissed, but my grandpa came and broke up the kiss." She groans out in agony and throws one of her brushes on the bed. "When I see him he's going down."
"Your going to fight my elderly grandpa." I asked her quite amused.
"If I have to, yes."
"Just do my hair."
