If Only

Three

"Yes I love this song so much!" Lexi says as she emerges from the bathroom. The steam follows her out of the bathroom door as she walks over to her closet. She disappears in to the closet and comes back wearing pair of sweat pants and a crop top for now. "How can you listen to music this quiet?" she teases me as she struts over to turn up the volume.

She is probably one of the most attractive people on this planet. She has thick long platinum blonde hair that is always naturally in perfect messy curl, which she almost always straightens her hair. She insists that she looks better with straight hair rather than her natural curly hair. Her eyes are big and light green with long thick eye lashes and perfect brow. She has very pale skin, and gets sunburned easily. She is tall with a thin frame and long legs, which she says they are her favorite thing about herself.

"What do you think I should wear tonight?" I ask her as she turns to face me. "I brought a few different options, but I can't make a decision by myself." She looks down at my clothes neatly placed on the bed and studies them. She brings her finger up and places it directly on her bottom lip, like she always does when she is thinking.

"I'm not sure that any of these will work," she says, "hold on a minute." she disappears in to her closet. I sit down on her bed and begin to pack my clothes back in to my bag. "Hey Amber can you come in here for a minute?" she yells from the closet. I place my bag on the floor and go to find her in the closet.

Unlike the rest of her room, the closet has a black and white printed wallpaper, and white fluffy carpet. There is a chandelier in the middle of the room that hangs above the table for shoes and purses. In the back of the room windows cover the wall and have a few chairs in front of them which are barely ever used.

The walls are covered with racks of clothes, the racks are filled to the limit with hangers. At the end of the room there is a sitting area with two white leather chairs in front of the giant window. In between the chairs there is a life sized Lexi mannequin which she is what she uses to plan her outfits.

"Is this what you are wearing tonight?" I ask in awe. She nods her head and I turn back to the mannequin. It is wearing a tight high waist gold shimmery skirt that the light hits perfectly. The skirt is paired with a long sleeved sheer white blouse the sleeves draped down beautifully. The outfit is paired with a pair of short black velvet ankle boots and a matching clutch.

"Are you ever coming out of there? We have to get ready you know." she yelled from outside the closet. I took once last glance at the outfit before I left the closet. I found Lexi beside the bed with a giant pile of clothes in front of her. "Here go put this one on." she hands me the black dress as I walk to the bathroom.

I undress myself and put on the dress, it is a little small on me since Lexi is so thin and I have a lot of curves. I turn and face myself in the mirror. The dress is amazing. It is a black sparkly mini dress that comes down to almost my mid thigh. The sleeves are tight and end just past my elbows, the back is completely open and hangs nicely. The tightness of the dress hugs my curves perfectly, and the dark color complements my tanned skin.

As I come out of the bathroom Lexi squeals. "Oh my gosh Holland, I knew that would look amazing on you!" she yelps with excitement. "Wait I have the perfect shoes to go with that wait one minute." I stand at the bed and start organizing the clothes that she ripped out of the closet. Lexi comes back with a pair of a deep electric blue heels. My eyes widen at the sight of these gorgeous shoes.

"Those are amazing!" I exclaim, she nods as she hands them over to me. I put them on and she is right they accent the dress perfectly. "Okay enough with the clothes," I say "we have a lot to do to get ready." She nods and we both make our way over to the bathroom, to do our hair and make up.

I have always loved doing my hair and makeup. When I was younger I used to steal my mom's makeup and hoard it in my bedroom. I decide to do a light smokey eye with a dark blue shiny eyeliner. The blue eyeliner always brings out the aqua blue color of my eyes. I curl my long dark blonde hair in big voluminous curls.

Lexi goes for a more calm look with her makeup. She has different shades of gold to base her eyes and a hint of black in the crease and outer corner of her eyes. She used a strong and thick black eyeliner which she flicks of past her eyes. As usually she uses her straightener until her hair is straighter than a ruler. "I'm going to go change, be right back." she tells me as she exits the room.

I look in the mirror at my completed look. The light smokey eye mixed with the blue eyeliner makes my eyes pop and my light pink full lips balance out the look perfectly. My soft curls fall just above my belly button, I decide to braid two small parts of the front of my hair and pull them back. I hate having a lot of hair in my face, since my hair is so thick. Lexi walks back in to the bathroom with her outfit on, she looks fantastic. She smiles at her reflection in the mirror, and the turns to me.

"Lets go, its almost eight and we have about and hour and a half drive to get there." she says, I furrow my brows, an hour and a half? "You know we are going to University of Illinois right?" she asks. I nod, for a minute I forgot what kind of party we were going to tonight.
