T(H)RUST - Ghost x Reader

Chapter 10

Every day you practice your dancing with Alejandro. You feel yourself getting more confident as the days go by. The day before the party you even dance in the heels. It feels different and it is a bit harder, but you manage to not fall over, even as Alejandro spins you around.

Every night you and Ghost sleep in the same bed. You fall asleep way quicker when you sleep with him than you do on your own, it's weird. Ghost always falls asleep after you and wakes up before you, so you have yet managed to see if he actually sleeps in the mask, but it sure does seem like that's the case. He is back to his habit of taking long walks every day, probably grateful that the Mexican weather allows for it.

It's Friday and only a couple of hours left until the party. Everyone has gathered in the office to walk through the plan once more to make sure everyone knows what to do. The plan is for you and Alejandro to keep an eye on Rubio, alerting the other members as soon as he leaves the ballroom, and that's when they will take him. He will then be placed in a car and sent to prison. You and Alejandro will act as regular guests, not assisting with the actual arrest. You will be driven to the mansion in a separate car from the others, and at a slightly different time. And you will start heading back immediately after giving the signal.

"Remember to keep to your positions. We don't want anyone to notice us, especially you Ghost. You need to stay put, ready to shoot." Alejandro says, looking at Ghost. Ghost nods. Alejandro looks down at his wristwatch. "Three hours left until we leave, you can get ready in that time l/n, right?" He looks at you.

"Yes, sir." you say.

"Good. Everyone, good luck today, don't fuck it up. Dismissed."

You walk back to your room, Ghost following you. He is already dressed in the base layer of his gear, only needing to put on his vest and some other minor stuff. But you have a lot to do. You decide to do your makeup and hair first. Your hair has been up in braids all day and when you take them out your hair has a beautiful soft wavy pattern. For protection, you spray some hairspray over it. The makeup you plan to do is just some simple brown and shimmery eyeshadow. You sit on the floor in front of the big mirror in your room instead of in the bathroom, the light in there makes that a terrible place to do makeup. Ghost sits on the bed, and you glance at him through the mirror every once in a while. He looks fascinated by the makeup and looks intently when you apply mascara to your eyelashes. You use a pink shadow from the palette as a blush. And lastly, you apply the lipstick, not being able to resist the urge to form kissing lips when you are done. Now it's time for the best part, the dress.

You pull out the purple dress from the bag, it's absolutely stunning, and you bring it into the bathroom. As you step into it you feel it hugging your body, and a feeling of confidence makes itself known. You can't close the zipper in the back all the way up, you will have to ask for help. You had made sure to shower and shave earlier in the day and the fabric of the dress feels amazing when it flows around your silky smooth legs. You step out of the bathroom and you meet Ghost's gaze. He looks you up and down multiple times, speechless, not that it's uncommon for him to be quiet. You feel that warm feeling spread in your gut when he looks at you.

"Can you help me with the zipper? I can't get it up." you say, turning your back to him, facing the mirror on the wall. He stands up and walks up to you. You pull your hair out of the way and he places one hand at your waist area, tugging lightly at the fabric to make it easier to pull the zipper up.

"Could you put on the necklace too?" you say when the zipper is closed, looking at him in the eyes through the mirror. "It's in the red bag on the dresser." Ghost walks over and pulls out the small jewelry box. He opens it and pulls out the necklace, unclasping it. As he stands behind you again he places the necklace around your neck. In the mirror you can see him struggling with the dainty clasp, it is way too small for his large hands. When the necklace is on, he looks at you in the mirror, and you can tell by his eyes that he is smiling.
