Chapter Twenty-Three
Jamie's POV
"So how are things with Ryan?" I ask Maggie as she rifles through my closet.
She has been here for the past twenty minutes, trying to get me ready for my date tonight with Noah.
"Good, actually. He... Um, asked me out on a date." She replies, keeping her back to me, although I can practically hear the smile in her voice.
I jump up, "Oh my gosh! Maggie, that's awesome!!"
She finally turns to me, a wild blush creeping it's way up her cheeks, "yeah, it is." She sighs, dreamily.
"Awwe i'm so happy that you found a nice guy whom you actually like! You are both so adorable!!" I gush, "so, where is he taking you?"
She has a seat next to me on my bed, playing with the ends of her hair, totally in a daydream, "He is taking me to dinner and a movie, I know, classic date, but he was so cute and shy when he asked me."
"Ouu," I say intrigued, "do tell..."
"Well we were at his house-"
"Wait," I cut her off, "you guys hang out now?! Like actually go and see eachother outside of school?"
"Yeah... After the party he called me to see how you were doing. I told him that you were a bit shaken, but fine. He asked to meet me for coffee, and since then we have been hanging out after school at his place."
"Ohh... Awwe"
She ducks her head, blushing slightly, "so, as I was saying..." She continues shooting me a mock glare, "we were at his house, just watching a movie, we were sort of cuddling up and playfully kicking eachothers feet, and then he just came right out and told me that he liked me, I said I liked him too and then he asked me out. It was really cute to see him all shy like that."
"Aww, Maggie! You said yes right?!"
"Of course I did you goof. I just told him I liked him, I'm clearly not going to reject him." She jokes.
I laugh, "right... Sorry. When is it?"
"Umm, in a few days I think. He said that it would be either Friday or Saturday, he just has to get something worked out... So not quite sure yet."
"Oh, you have to let me help you get ready!" I say eagerly.
"Of course! And you should totally let me borrow this." She says, eyebrows raised at the outfit she is holding up.
It is a red and white striped dress that hits about mid thigh, the top has a little triangle cut out with a string crossover. She has also grabbed a Jean jacket to pair with it.
"Yeah, you can borrow that for sure! I think it would look really cute on you. Try it on!!"
The next thing I know she has headed into my bathroom, emerging only minutes later in the outfit.
I was totally right! It looks fantastic on her, way better than it ever has on me.
"Wow, Mag... You look stunning. Seriously you should wear it!"
"Really?" She asks.
"Really. " I confirm.
"Ok, I'm going to keep it here though until I actually have to get ready for the date. That way I can just come over and you can help me out, because let's face it, you're way better at doing makeup than I am!"
I laugh, "I barely wear any!"
"Yeah, I know that, but even then, the way you put it on looks professional!"
I laugh again, "okay, okay, I'll help you with the makeup."
She smirks, "I knew you couldn't say no to me."
"Unfortunately, that, I can't."
************************************
"So has Noah told you anything about your date yet?" Maggie asks me.
We are still in my room, the initial plan was to get me ready for my date, but we got a little off topic. Talking about Maggie and Ryan. Whoops...
"No. Well... Not much anyways. He told me to bring a bathing suit, which brings me to the conclusion of a pool or beach. But other than that, nothing. He wants it to be a total surprise I guess." I answer her.
"Aww, that's super romantic Jaim! However, as cute as it is, we need to know how to dress you. If he told you to bring swimwear it is obvious you are going swimming, but if he ends up taking you someplace aside from that, you need to be warm. So..." She trails off, heading back into my walk in closet, "this is what you'll wear." She concludes, holding up a navy blue romper with white polka dots as well as a white denim vest. She sets the outfit down and digs out a pair of white wedges.
"Oh! I like this!! That is such a good idea Maggie! Thank you!!" I tell her, eyeing up the outfit completely.
I immediately rush to my bedside table, opening the drawer and grabbing my navy blue bikini.
Perfect.
"Ahh, now the outfit is complete." Maggie tells me, smiling.
She lays it all out on my bed and we do a final look, "OK, we know that it is the perfect outfit, now we need to see it on you." She says, ushering me into my ensuite bathroom.
I slip off the pair of jogging pants and T-shirt I am currently in and begin to put on the outfit. Once I have pulled my vest over the romper, I slip the shoes onto my feet.
I have to stand on the toilet seat to look at the full complete outfit. When I see it, I immediately like it. Leave it to Maggie to find the perfect outfit for me.
I step gingerly off the toilet seat. And by gingerly I mean I almost fall on my face, what with wearing the heels and all, it was inevitable.
I glance at my face and quickly to a side braid, but I shake my head, not liking it. I quickly do a messy bun, and pull out a few strands to frame my face.
There. That's better.
I step out of the bathroom and Maggie squeals, "oh Jamie! You look amazing!"
I smile calmy, "thank you Maggie. You totally get outfit creds." I joke.
"Well obviously." She says in a 'duh' tone.
We both laugh then head over to work on my makeup.
"Okay, you will probably go swimming, so I would go too heavy. Maybe just a little foundation, then set it with powder. With your eyelashes, you don't need mascara, but if you do decide to put some on, go with waterproof." Maggie tells me in a knowing tone.
"Okay." I say.
I begin to apply a light base of foundation, just enough that my skin tone is even. I add a little bit of concealer just to cover up a small zit beginning to form on my chin, then I set it all with powder.
"I love how natural it looks on you, yet you still look gorgeous!" Maggie says, slight envy obvious in her voice. She has no reason to be though, she is so much prettier than I am.
"Thanks." I respond.
"Okay, it's almost time!!" She sings, "Noah is probably waiting downstairs, let's go!"
I love how he is staying here and we still planned to meet in front of the door. It's comical almost.
I take a deep breath, smiling at Maggie and head down the stairs.
