They say it's in the eye of the beholder and that's the truth 'cos we all try to enhance our beauty no matter the cost. If we can't do it naturally we'll find most painful and obscure way to achieve our goal to be the most stunning we can. Mirror, mirror on the wall who is our best friend of all? I am your Majesty Yourself 'cos you are teling me all your insecurites and we are the closest it can be.
Every girl wants to be gorgeous so I am not exeption, but I buried that deep inside trying to be invinsible. Dotty was the one who liked nice clothes and makeup, but nothing to flashy just eye pencil or nude lipstick to sharpen the lines.
Tonight we decided we will put our boundaries down and let Mrs. Jane to do her best job. She's Dotty's mother the one I love so much because she was my only substitute for a mother and her artistry is so admirable, but like every human being she has her own flaws. Love is strong feeling they say and sometimes people are not in control of their emotion so she drinks her sorrow into oblivion forgeting everything even her own daughter, one of reasons why I didn't have trust in love. But this time she was expecting us in her little room sober and she used her talent to make a dream of us painting our faces with brush and liner with such delicacy gently caressing our skin.
"Why hiding yourself my love when you are such a beautiful girl?" I could sence a tenderness in her voice. The girl in the mirror it couldn't be me, her eyes were huge and misty like some light curtain is covering her eyesight and her lips were made for sin sparkling with softness of pink rose.
"Makeup is perfect, truly my mom has right to praise you and you should wear a cristal blue necklace. It was given to you in the first place to use so why not now to complement your woodland forget-me-not dress."
The plan was to pack the clothes and pumps in the bags 'cos we couldn't walk by foot,me in Cindy's ball gown and my friend in dripping blood waist tight cocktail Jess dress. Well if she had a nerve to go like femme fatale I couldn't protest so I simply noded.
"Good luck girls, I've done what you requested, but I'm not happy with result 'cos you both look magnficent and that scares me." Dotty only smiled widely and winked looking unworried and carefee. We were ready to go, me with my uncertainty and her always optimistic and confident.
The mansion was up on the hill with grandeur main house and lots of smaller ones being garages, utility rooms, storages and so on. In the back was garden beautifully decorated with colorful flowers and small forest. The estate was extremely large and well guarded with cameras and system of security along with bunch of man in dark suits and sunglasses. It was surrounded with huge brickstone fence with metalic automatic sliding gate with intricate details looking more like inscriptions than ornaments.
When we put on our clothes somehere in the back of the darkness we aproached to the entrance. The door were opened frequently to release Maybach, Lambo, Chevy, Bently, Bugatti, BMW and all that luxurious cars that I never saw in my life and cost a small fortune. Swaying little on rough pavment while wearing thin stilettos we looked odd against all that shiness and wealth. A thought crept in my mind will they let us in seeing us in this state looking more like widely known kind of street girls. Maybe was a wrong idea to paint us into something we are not, to try to blend in somewhere were we don't belong. But it was to late to change our minds 'cos a guard appeard in front of us with treathening stance like we are trespassing.
"Where to girls? This is a private party?" he said with deep rich voice. "Of course. Can you annouce us to your master then? Just say Raye is here." For a few seconds I could see he was hesitating, but than he took a phone from his pocket and dialed a few numbers saying something low and brisk I couldn't catch. We were ushered through the gate and on the other side a batler was waiting to show us the way.
The lawn around us was wide streching upfront to the main house with the scent of freshly cut grass clippings. When we appoapached a silhouette stepped from the shadow becoming visible and I recognized the person with a cheeky smile. The same brazen poise with slighltly cocked head tucking one hand in the pocket and other running though his hair. He was wearing navy tuxedo with golden vintage lapsis lazuli cufflinks and matching leather shoes.
"I knew you'll come!" he closed the distance between us softly with no sound. Under the outdoor light bulbs his eyes looked distinctively darker sparkling with delight of triumph. What a cocky son of a bitch, still I couldn't be angry with him realising now that is part of his persona. "Well I was hungry and you offered lavish meal." There is no way I will surrender so easily and reveal my inner thoughts so I smiled with pleasure looking him straight in the eyes. He responded with equally splendid grin obviously satisfied with my disobedience and stubbornness.
The same attention he transferred into another direction with bedazzeled smirk bowing slightly. "Pardon me Miss for not greeting you properly but I must admit that I was surprised seeing two breathtakingly gorgeous girls". It was my time to step in and introduce my friend. Barely containing her happines from the moment we got in, Dotty was so smitten that she was constantly changing the resting foot and in that moment she swayed a little loosing a balance. Regaining her posture quickly with smile on her ruby red lips she tried to look nonchalant while extending a hand with bloody nail polished fingers for handshake. Damian smiled politely and took the fingers only to drop the head down and place the tip of his lips on the knuckles. "Such a pleasure to meet you dear Dotty. Definitely you will mesmerize my guests with your alabaster skin and raven hair." Mine was butterscotch brown midback length and complete mess curling all over my face so I scooped up every strand of hair into a tight bun. But she had her long jetblack mane pulled into a ponytail with a candle flame at the end brushing against her round perky ass. The compliment hit the right note, I could tell by delight in her gaze.
"So, shall we go in?" His focus changed instantly it took me by surprise so I accepted a hand he offered not thinking much just to be startled by his warm fingers. With only one contact a strong sensation rushed through my every nerve ending producing peculiar tingling of skin. Was that a reaction to a man's touching 'cos I wasn't used? It must be that, what else could it be. Trying to ignore that unexpected feeling I smiled mildly not showing my insecurities. He looked pleased like he had some hidden agenda on his mind and broadened his lips gesturing with his chin and eyes to follow ahead.
In front was wide marble exterior staircaise leading to a flat plateau and when we climbed up I could see a swiming pool on right side, not too large with round and angular shape. On left side was a two bench made from hard wood with lots of lavander cushions with small flower details and soft wool crochet linen probably handmade. In the middle was rectangular wood and glass table obviously a matching set. The door to the inside were large and also made from the same wood with iron door knocker and metal ring representing a golden dragon head.
A moment we stepped to the entrance a butler opened and moved massive hardwood timber to let us in. Inside was a spacious hall with lots of vintage framed pictures hanging on the wall, some portraits of people and other nature art. In the corner near the floor to ceiling window was antique piano with a huge tropical indoor greenary. We stopped to give our things to a cervant which wasn't a much only our bags and because it was strangling my neck pale blue shawl. Damian was behind me so he took it personally handing it over to his uptight and strongly professional employee who bowed showing gratitude. Then we proceed futher into another enormus room decorated in baige and gold full of elegantly dressed people. All of them were sitting in front of large baroque dining table with equal exquisite floral porcelain dinnerware. Abundant rich fragance of red and pink roses, lilies, gerbera daisies and alastroemeria from vase arrangements filled the space. Everything was so neat and in order fused with soft pastel colors. All head turned in our direction and we stood there on displey of hard stare. Our host moved fast forward but then he suddenly slowed his pace and looked on us profoundly. His gaze slipped down to my neck and he lightly touched the sky blue jewelry stone along with my skin. "Where did you get that?" Shiver run through my blood and confused expression on his face a little bit angry paralized my thoughts.
