Kristen was picking up her things, “The guys should be back in a minute to get ready.” Alex nodded, “I’ll get out of the way.” Kristen continued gathering her things. “Now, I left the lipstick, and powder on the counter. Be sure you put it in your bag.” Alex just smiled, “I will see you in a few.” Kristen said shutting the door behind her.
Alex looked around the room from were she stood in front of the door. She felt weird in the outfit, uncomfortable and just not herself. Then the door opened and hit her in the back, “Ouch!”
“Oh, sorry.” Nick said slipping thru the door, “I didn’t know you were standing there.”
Without saying anything Alex moved further into the room to get out of his way. Nick stood there and looked at her for a minute, “I’m gonna take a shower.” Alex nodded, “Lex?” Alex looked up at him, “You look really beautiful.” Alex smiled and as he went into the bathroom it turned into a huge grin.
She heard the shower running and picked up her magazine. She may look different, but she knew that Nick always saw thru the make-up and cloths. Several minutes later the water turned off. Then the door opened slightly, “Uh, Lex, would you mind handing me my cloths?”
Alex looked around, “Where are they?”
“Hanging up in the closet.”
She walked over to the closet and pulled out his Armani suit, “Here.” She said handing it to him
“Thanks.” With that the door shut again.
Alex looked at the clock in an hour, they would be on their way. She grabbed her bag and began dropping things into it, then she remembered the make-up that Kristen left on the counter. She knocked on the door, “Nick, are you about done? I need to get something.”
Nick opened the door, he had his pants and shirt on and was in the middle of shaving, “Yeah, come in.” Alex picked up the make-up and dropped it into her bag. “Ouch!” Nick said dropping the razor, “Of all times to cut myself!”
Alex didn’t say anything but handed him a Kleenex, “Don’t worry, put pressure on it and it will stop in a minute.”
Nick just looked at her, “Hmph.” As Alex said in a few minutes the bleeding stopped and Nick finished getting ready, “Okay, you ready?”
“Yes, but are you forgetting something?”
Nick looked confused, “I don’t think so, why?”
Alex walked into the bathroom and took his suit jacket off the hook on the back of the door, “How about this.”
“Oh, yeah. Thanks.” Nick put the jacket on, “What would I do without you?” He started to lean over.
Alex knew he intended to kiss her but stopped him, “Sorry, make-up, you will have to wait.”
Nick rolled his eyes, “I knew there was a reason why I hated make-up.”
