Chapter 88 - EIGHTY EIGHT
- HAZEL -
I never knew there were more to designs till today. Seeing this woman and these people work their ass off while putting things on me for me really amuses me.
Knowing whatever outfit I decide on will be made today on such short notice really has me stunned. I can’t even imagine how stressful this is for them and how expensive it will be.
"I like this one. The material is soft on my skin, yet elegant." I say, swirling in the dress while looking at myself in the mirror. It’s a crimson red lacey dress, like those the princess in the Victorian era wore. Just the not to pleasant and kind princesses.
Natalie gives me a good look, sizing me from head to toe. "It is nice. But do you really want to be in an evil princess dress at a party? Movement surely won’t be easy."
Hmm. She does have a point. I don’t even know what I want. "I’d love a dress. Maybe something less ballgown-y and more," I pause, trying to think of a word to use. What evil Disney villain can a middle aged woman know? "Maleficent and Eris." I mixed a combo of DreamWorks’s Eris. "But way different." I say. "I can go through Pinterest to show you the characters if you’d like."
"No, darling, that’s fine. I’ll come up with something." Natalie says and I stare at her through the mirror, flashing her a smile.
"Thank you." I murmur. Prior to this moment, I thought I’d be Dracula or a wicked witch or pirate with trousers and all things bloody but which girly girl can resist elegant, villainy dresses?
"Girls, leave us." Natalie says in a more serious tone. Her staff exit the room immediately, leaving just the two of us alone. I admire how good this fabric looks on my skin. It’s simply dazzling. "You’re a very intriguing character-" She says. I turn to look at her then notice she’s waiting for me to say my name.
"Hazel." I complete her sentence. How intriguing? I’m tempted to ask but didn’t. "And thank you." I say instead.
"What if I don’t mean that in a good way?" She asks, taking a step closer to me. Her eyes are peering all over me cautiously.
