Masquerade Party
My mom made me fit five different color and styles of gowns! But she only bought two out of the five freaking gowns! Like wat da hell mom?! What's the point of making me wear 5 gowns then only buys two of them!? Urghhh!
The air conditioned boutique is the one who's making me sane. If the boutique is not air conditioned I might go crazy because of the hotness! So hawt!
As you all know the gathering's theme is Masquerade Party so I gotta wear a mask. (That's a big blessing for me) - problems of being an anti-social is exposure and socialites so it's really a good thing that I have to wear a mask. *laughs in sarcasm*
>[Earlier....]<
When I'm done fitting the last gown (not bothering to look at the mirror) But I know that the one I'm wearing right now is a Sparkly Burgundy V-neck long gown with a slit on my right legs. Gosh I kinda feel naked right now! I went out to the fitting room then I looked at my mom, her mouth dropping open slightly. She was in awestruck and her eyes is filled with amazement as she stared at me, even Aunt was speechless. The other people in the shop stops themselves from what they've been doing, also stunned as they're fixing their gazes to me and I on the other hand got conscious by the looks they're giving me.
All my life I never felt this so many eyes staring and in awe just by looking at me.
In my life I avoid being in people's sight. I don't want to be their center of attraction and what I see now really surprises me. My hands already started to tremble because of them directly looking at me.
"Uhhh" I hesitantly said.
Mom approached me and said the words I did not expect nor will expect.
"You look stunningly beautiful even without wearing a makeup you're really my precious daughter. You really look like a princess-" she was cut off by Aunt which surprises me, again.
"No, she looks more like a goddess or a fairy." Aunt rarely talks to me in a good way like this and now she is complimenting me! Oh my! This is rare! Really rare!
The other people in the shop shakes their head as a sign of approval for what Mom and Aunt said.
Me being conscious just nod getting the idea that I look pretty in this gown. hehe.
When I'm done with the fitting Mom grab the two gowns that I think what she thinks that it suits me well one was silver the other one was red...uhh burgundy i mean, a pair of heels for me, also the gown she'd chosen for herself and went to the cashier area to pay for the gowns and the heels. She then simply bid her goodbye at Aunt while me just stared at her and nod. No bad encounters today wit Aunt! Nice! ^-^

I grab my laptop at the study table and laid myself comfortably on my bed. I am currently watching some random movie on Netflix. It was one o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived home and the said gathering event will start at 7 o'clock in the evening. I'll start preparing at 4 or 5 o'clock so I have a time to kill. Mom will be the one who'll do my make up and my hair while she'll be the one who'll fix herself 'coz duh I know nothing about makeups, also my gown was with her. When I felt hungry I left my room, went down and hurriedly went to the kitchen to grab some chips! Churp! Churp! Churp! Mom was there, reading something in her magazine. We do not have some maids because Mom and Dad want me to become independent by my own and not to depend on others but... it's still okay to depend on others sometimes.
When I get back to my room I continued on watching the movie while eating ^-^

A knock woke me up. It's already 3:30 pm. I must have fallen asleep while watching because as I awoke, feeling groggy and a little disoriented.
Mom entered my room...
"Baby, take a bath now so i can fix your hair when it's already dry." She said not waiting for my answer she went out immediately. I think she also has to prepare or the one who'll be fixing her is already here.
I got up and went to the bathroom. I took off my clothes and I bathe myself in the bathtub. I started to hum and sing my favorite song.
Echoes of my voice started to fill in the bathroom
I know (I know) you belong
To somebody new
But tonight
You belong to me
Although (although) we're apart
You are a part of my heart
But tonight
You belong to me
Wait down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream in
The moonlight
My honey I know
With the dawn
That you will be gone
But tonight
You belong to me
But tonight
You belong
To me....
When I'm done singing my favorite song, I sang another one...
After my longggg bath. I wrapped myself in my robe. I exit the bathroom door and went to the vanity table to dry my long hair.
I was just looking to the reflection of myself in the mirror when mom entered my room with a bag and heels. Mom already has her makeup on. She also brought her own dress, her masquerade mask and my mask with her. Maybe she'll change here.

We'd gone— and when I say 'we,' I mean Mom—with a simple, but elegant look for the night. She'd picked a earthy-brown color with an overlay of gold, and a light red lipstick. Mom curled my long dark brown hair and let it down. The foundation was light but I felt the urge to scratch. Each time I made to, I'd receive a sharp slap from my mom who's the artist of the work I'd destroy if I did manage the action.
"Sorry," I said, shaking my now red hand. "Honestly Mom, you slap so hard. I pity the poor guys that get a slap from you."
She chuckled, shrugging she said, "They would've deserved it."
While she put on her dress, asking me to zip her up in the silver material, I remained in my robe. It clung to her in all the right places, accentuating her model-like figure expertly. She wears her heels and she looked so tall, she also wore her silver masquerade mask. Mom looked like a real goddess. With a final spritz of perfume. Mom declared herself ready.
She took the dress clothed in a velvet bag that was hanged at the side of my long mirror.
She discarded the bag and lay it on the bed, revealing the sparkling burgundy gown along with the masquerade mask that she bought earlier for me. Now that I have observed the clothing, it makes me realize that it is one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen.
Like I'd done for her, Mom assisted me in the shimmying material up to my body. The burgundy dress was quite a low cut, but tastefully done. It gave me the waist I didn't know I had and made my figure as a whole, not look quite so rectangular, but instead deceived the eye into believing it to be hourglass in shape. The slit down the side made, accompanied by the gold heels that I wore, my legs looked even longer than they already were. Too busy letting the material slide through my fingers, I hardly registered Mom decorating me in jewelry.
When she's done, I was promptly directed to the long mirror.
I gulped at myself. With every move, the light captured the jewels, making me look like I actually glowed. That's new, I thought.
