Her love and Trials

Chapter Thirty Six~

I had reapplied my make up again because the one I had on had been ruined by Michael. He literally kissed away all my lipgloss and made me cry and ruin my eyeliner. I was looking manageably good and decided to wear my pearl necklace that my grandmother had passed down to me. I wore the earrings and checked the time, the carol was to begin in five minutes. I called Diane to help me with my dress.

"Diane, I'm done with my makeup, please could you come over and help me with my dress?"

She whispered softly, "Michelle I'll call you back, I'm kinda in the middle of something here"

She giggled and I heard Sean's voice saying inaudible words and Diane dropped the phone not bothering to end it and I could hear her kissing Sean, she would giggle once in a while until I began to hear her moan softly.

"Hey do you mind ending this call?"

She shrieked, "Oh shit, Michelle!!" and ended the call.

I chuckled to myself and called Vanessa instead, "Hey, babe please can you come over and help me with my dress?"

She sighed, "Hey babe, I'm sorry I'm helping Chloe get ready, call Diane".

I huffed and rested my hands on the table. "She's in the middle of something".

She chuckled, "Oh yeah, she left us when Sean called her, call Jessie instead".

I ended the call and called Jessie, "Hey Jess, do you mind coming over to help me with my dress?"

She sighed, "Michelle, I'm actually about to go on stage in like...now, you know I'm the host of the carol, since you're singing and I'm about to call Chloe on stage now, bye...".

I could hear her cursing under her breath when suddenly I heard the music directors voice. "Michelle, where on earth are you?"

I huffed and began pacing around, "I'm still in my dressing room, if no one comes now to help me get into my dress, I'm freaking out, Sir?"

He chuckled and spoke to someone before replying me, "Michelle, I have sent someone to help you, they'll be there any moment from now".

And there was a soft knock on the door. "Thank you". I hung up and opened the door.

And Mali stood there looking gracious in her green knee length dress, with an off shoulder and a sparkling gold heel, with her gold lock pulled up into a bun. She looked beautiful and her make up was done to perfection. She stepped into the dressing room and I dropped my phone on the table and handed her my dress bag. She unzipped it and marveled at the dress. She brought it out and hung it on the clothe rack and sat me down.

"Well to be very honest, you are very bad at doing your makeup, how about I line your eyes so it could be neater?".

I smiled at her, "Thank you so much I had done it like three times".

She chuckled and took out a face wipe to clean my eyes and applied a little powder before lining it again. She laid my edges again and sprayed something on my face.

"What the hell is that?" She covered my eyes and sprayed my face with something.

When I opened my eyes, I was marveled, I looked so beautiful and my eyeliner looked sharp.

She had applied a dark themed eye shadow which made my eyes sparkle and applied a nude colored lipgloss and the thing she sprayed added a glittery shine to my face. I looked hot and I know I'll be afraid to admit it but I looked terrific.

"Oh my gosh, Mali what did you do? I look like a princess, let's take a selfie real quick".

She smiled and shook her head, "We've been here for about twenty minutes now and you are about to be called to sing".

I nodded and stood up and removed my clothes. I brought down the dress and stepped into it. I turned my back so she could help me zip it. She zipped it and I looked at my reflection and I looked so.....

"You look amazing". I adjusted my hair and took some to the side and held it with a diamond hair clip. I removed my sandals and as I looked around for my heels, I couldn't find it.

Holy crap, where is my shoe? No,no, no, this can't be happening.......I was so sure I had brought it to school this morning, matter of fact I picked it first and now it wasn't anywhere here. Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

"Mali, I can't find my shoes, I brought them to school, geez what the fuck is all this!!,".

She picked up my clothes from the floor and put them into my bag. She raised a finger and I looked at her in confusion.

"What's the issue Mali?"

She dropped the bag on the chair and began to pack up all my make up.

"Maybe it's in your locker, or in your car!" And that's when I remembered I dropped everything in Chloe's car when they came to pick me up.

I called Chloe but her phone was switched off. I called Diane and she declined the call, Way to go girl code. I called Jessie but I remembered that she was on stage now.

Vanessa please answer, "Hey Chelle you ready? Once they are done with this drama presentation you're up".

I huffed, "I know but my god damned shoes are in Chloe's car".

I heard rattling from the other end and then she spoke again, "I've got her car keys, I'll help you get them".

I thanked her and ended the call. I looked at Mali and smiled, "I know I freak out a lot, especially when I'm under pressure".

She smiled and nodded, "I know, it happens, anyways I'm heading out now to watch the show".

I hugged and thanked her, "Thank you so much, you really made me look beautiful".

She smiled and closed the door. I locked the door and looked around the dressing room, I picked up all my stuffs and put them into my bag, I hate littering. I put my phone into my bag and there was a knock on the door.

"Michelle, you have two minutes to your presentation!!".

I called Vanessa again but she didn't pick up. I kept calling her until someone knocked on the door again.

"Michelle, you have to come out now, you have a minute".

Okay freaking out would be an understatement, I was literally about to roll on the floor in anxiety. I stepped out wearing my sandals and I saw Vanessa running towards me with my heels in her hands.

I was so relieved, I removed the sandals and threw it at her in a rush.

"Sorry, thanks Vanessa!"

I wore the heels and I walked to stand beside Alex. He looked so handsome in his red tuxedo and his black button down shirt was opened a little bit lower and to be honest he looked sexy as hell.

"You...you look beautiful". I blushed and looked down.

"Well thank you, you look good yourself".

He smiled and held my hands and raised it to his lips and planted a kiss on it and looked up.

"Well, can't wait to sing with you".

I held his hand and nodded. I'm pretty sure my cheeks were literally red, he held my hands and dragged me to the stage behind the curtain. I peeked and saw Jessie in her gold suit gown, I never really understood her dressing sometimes. She could dress funky for a causal event and dress formal for a funky event. Now she wore a gold suit that stopped mid thigh.

"Now, we'll call on Alexandra Imah and Michelle Obi to perform their duet, Mary did you know, a round of applause for them!!!".

The light went out and I turned to Alex,

"Ready?". He smiled and nodded, "Was born ready". And just then the curtain parted.

Woooooooo, it's time for them to sing, anyways you'll find out in the next chapter by the way, but for most of you wondering why Michelle felt confident all of a sudden is because she knew that she had a power to fight against Micheal, so she felt more secure, blah blah blah.... Anyways, I'll see y'all in the next chapter. Vote..Comment......and Share....
