Chapter 2
I feel so free as I take Beast faster, feeling the rumble of the road underneath the tires, and hearing her mighty roar as I race over to Stella's house. Today is a very important day for us, if we can get Mama Bear to agree to us having an apartment to ourselves, we are going to be able to make everything work the way we need it to. As I pull around the final corner before Stella's house, I am able to see that Stella is standing outside awaiting my arrival dressed in the most recent fashion. Her beautiful blonde curls gently held back out of her face with a pastel purple headband that matched her pastel purple shirt with her light blue jean shorts finished off perfectly with a simple black sandal. I know from her pouty face that I had upset her, and I already knew what I had to do to make her forgive me quickly. I turned off my bike and coasted to a stop directly in front of her, I lifted my helmet off of my head and grinned at her, "I'm sorry Ella I didn't mean to be late, but may I just say, Damn babe you look HOT." I winked at her knowing that it would make her laugh and forget her upset with me. As I had predicted she did indeed begin to laugh and smile at me while shaking her head and I knew that she had already forgiven me. However, now we had to go talk to Mama Bear about our choice for school and that we would prefer to stay in an apartment together then to stay in the dorms, luck was on my side today though for Mama Bear had to run an errand and would be back shortly.
"Scar that's cheating! You know that is one thing that makes me laugh!" she giggled with glee. I give her my famous flirt face and blow her a kiss to tease her just a little more, "well you see Stella I know this very well, hence that is why I did this because I knew that I would get away with anything." I spit my tongue at her this time.
"You are already forgiven; now can we PLEASE go get prepared to talk to Mama Bear about getting our apartment? I am literally bursting at the seams with excitement." she retorts with an impatient stomp of her foot with a pout before she smiled and fluttered her eyelashes at me as to try and say please without actually using her words.
I quickly put my kickstand down and lean my bike on its stand and swing myself off of Beast and give Stella a mischievous grin, "I'll race you inside." I said this to her knowing that she would win, she is after all at least 5 inches taller than I am not to mention she is all legs.
"Bet" Stella takes off running leaving me in the dust just as I knew that she would. All I can do is laugh till I make way all the way from my bike to the front door where she is waiting for me with a sly little look on her face, "Sooo I won! So, what did I win? What is my prize?" she says to me clapping her hands jumping up and down with so much excitement that she reminded me of a kid in a candy store about to receive their purchase.
"Well....I suppose... I could allow you to do my make up since you have been begging me to allow you to do for months now. How does that sound to you?" I slowly turn to look at Stella already knowing her answer before she even could answer me with her words. Before I could tease her or turn to run away, she grabs my hand and pulls me behind her to her room where she will do my make up. 'Hopefully Mama Bear gets here before Ella turns me completely girly'.
After about 30 minutes, greatly to my relief, Mama Bear is finally home, and it is time for the talk. Just as I got to stand up, Stella hands me her compact mirror and I know that it is time for me to see how girly I look. I cautiously look into the mirror and see her masterpiece...I must say I am pleasantly surprised by what I see. She used a dark maroon eye shadow on my eyes which really made the purple flakes in my eyes stand out even more than before, I also noticed that my eyelashes are much longer and fuller then normal with a perfect cat eye line in black eyeliner with a matching beautiful black line on the water line on my bottom lid exaggerating the beauty of my eyes. To finish the look, she finished my look with a dark maroon matte lip gloss to make my lips pop and look bigger. I look at her with surprise,
"Well, well, well, thank you Ella. I was worried that maybe you were going to make me look way too girly and use too much pink. I am glad that you used the darker colors l love it thank you." Stella looked at me and rolled her eyes at me.
"Well, I am glad that you like it. I do know a thing or two about how you prefer darker colors and I do know how to use them in a way that is appealing without using too much. But now it is time for the talk." she practically squealed the last part.
We make our way to the kitchen to find Mama Bear.
"Well, if it isn't my long-lost daughter with some very dark makeup, beautiful though. How are my girls today? Any fun plans?"
"Welllll.... you may want to sit down for this conversation Mama Bear." Stella and I say seriously at the same time. At this point we both look at Mama Bear and we both can see that she looks slightly worried. Stella and I look from Mama Bear to each other and take a deep breath together....
