Close My Eyes (Part 4)

It's 3:45am Monday morning and Violet's alarm blares it's hideous noises, dragging her back into waking consciousness. She turns it off, and closes her eyes again. "No wait, did I hit snooze?" She checks her phone, "No, she had turned it off, and so, can not sleep any more, or take the chance of missing out on $1500, and getting laid!" Violet's excitement is obvious. Her cheeks were flush from embarrassment and anxiety.

She quickly set the temperature for her shower and got under the steaming water. She had not been this excited since she was showering for her first boyfriend, when she seduced the shy boy into taking her virginity. Strawberry scent fills the room as she shampoos her hair and lathers up her pale skin. She makes sure to be extra careful as she shaves her armpits and legs. She considers shaving her pussy, but decides against it.

After the shower she brushes and blow dries her hair. It is pink and looks as silky as it feels, thanks to using a ton of conditioner. She then brushes her teeth, making sure to also scrape her tongue with the brush to ensure her breath smells nice.

She puts on makeup, with a lot of dark eyeliner and she further outlines and fills in cats eyes on the sides. "Violet's eyelids need something special, 'but what?' she asked herself." She looks down at the pallet, then back at her eyes, and back at the pallet again. "Violet had every color to work with, maybe she should use them all?" So that's what she does. She makes a rainbow, over each eyelid. Red to purple in 6 colors on the left and then reversed like a mirror, on the right. "Finally, Violet finishes her makeup, by putting on her sexy red lipstick. Damn she looked fine!" She looks at herself in the full length mirror one last time before dressing. She loves herself.

Violet saw the time and decides to sneak a little smoke break to keep her nerves settled. The next thing she knew, it was 25 minutes later and she had to get moving.

She brushes her teeth again and puts on perfume. "Mentally, Violet was ready to go, which was appropriate, being naked." She stuck her tongue out at herself in the mirror and got moving to get dressed.

Over the weekend, in debating herself a million times, she ended up, asking her mother to borrow her white sundress. While it was a size too large, it did give her an air of innocence with professionalism which she sincerely wished to bring to this interview. Anything to make her not be rejected. It was the one thing that scares her the most, next to being successful.

Violet left her home, and hit the road. She wrote down directions from her computer, since her phone was broken. It's an oddly familiar path she drives, as it happens to be the same route she used to go to the end of the rainbow the day she broke up with Tee.

"Violet couldn't believe it. There it is, the park, she was at with the rainbows." She turns and there is the place she was going to go to for her interview. "What the fuck!? How is this happening? Please tell me I don't have to fuck the leprechaun to get his gold... that wasn't any part of the deal I ever heard of..." the narration became a stream of consciousness that spewed from her, as the ironic synchronicity takes full effect upon her mind. "The absurdity of life..."

She stops and takes a breath. Violet closes her eyes and more slowly takes her next breath. And another. And another. This began to rattle her in a way that made her want to go home. "Or is this just an excuse to run, but then, no gold." Her self-awareness kicked in as she reminds herself why she got out of bed this morning.

She remembers how her life had strange synchronicity before, but this was one for the record books. "What were the odds?" She steeled her nerves with this wild information, and didn't let her anxiety take hold. Violet moves with purpose from that moment on.

She pulls out her bag and pumps a mist of perfume in her general direction while sitting in the car still, then rolls up the windows and turns it off. Getting out of the car, felt effortless. As did the walk from it to the door.

"Let's do this." She said with determination, opens the door, and enters the studio office.
