What’s next?
Lily’s POV
“Where are we headed now?”. Mr. Mark asked as he got behind the wheel.
“Home. We’re headed home”. I
sighed in content. I had missed
home, I needed to go now.
“Oh okay”. Mr. Mark looked at me skeptically with raised brows.
“I’m just kidding.” Mr. Mark was about to turn the car around when I burst out laughing.
“I was really confused and surprised. You really got me on that one.” He chuckled as he continued driving towards the initial direction.
“I’m sorry”. I said as I tried to hold down my laughter but it wasn’t easy because of Mr. Mark’s expression. It was hilarious for real.
“So where are we going now and please be for real this time”. He said in an amusing warning tone.
“Just keep driving. I don’t know yet so let’s just drive around for a bit.” I said while looking out the window.
“Alright Ma”. He responded.
I was enjoying the view of the city and how bubbly it was becoming as time went by when my eyes caught something. “Oh please drive through to this place!”. I squealed excitedly bouncing my feet as I pointed towards a particular building. I had been pondering on what or where to go next when I saw something that I had always wanted to try out.
I didn’t know where else to go or what else to do and this opportunity has presented itself now, so why not.
“Alright Ma”. Mr. Mark chuckled at how excited I looked as he pulled the car into a driveway and parked the car.
I did not even wait for Mr. Mark to park the car properly when I jumped out of the car and sprinted into the building.
“Hi, good morning”. I said in a rushed tone to the ginger receptionist. I was out of breathe from walking so fast. Running actually.
“Oh hi, good morning. What can I do for you today?”. She said with a chuckle.
“I would like to book a session for this morning, please walk me through the process”. I said with a wide smile as I went straight to the point. I couldn’t even hide my excitement, I couldn’t wait to get started.
“Hello”. Mr, Mark walked in greeting the ginger receptionist.
“Hello”. The receptionist responded with a smile.
“We’re together”. I informed her answering her unasked question.
“Alright then.” She responded with a nod while shuffling around her table as though she was searching for something. “Here”. She handed me a magazine like thing. “All you have to do is pick your preferred session, make the payment here and go down the hall. It’s that easy.” She said with a smile.
“Alright thank you.” I browsed through it with a smile and after a while I still couldn’t decide cause they all looked good to me so I turned to Mr. Mark. “What do you think?”. I asked nudging his shoulders.
“I’m not so sure Ma, I don’t think I would know what you would enjoy”. He responded shrugging his shoulders.
“It’s for the both of us, so please just pick one. I really can’t decide.” I whined like a kid that I actually was.
“No Ma, I’ve never done this. I don’t think I would enjoy it so just do it alone.” He said waving me off.
“There’s no way I’m doing this alone Mr. Mark and besides it’s also my first time, I promise we would enjoy it. So please pick one.” I pleaded with my best puppy eyes.
“Alright fine.” He sighed caving in. “Let’s just go with this since we’re both doing it for the first time.” He said while pointing at a particular one.
“This looks good”. I responded. “Alright, we’ll go with that one.” I smiled and turned back to the ginger receptionist.
“Perfect choice.” She smiled. “I overheard you guys saying that you’re first timers so as per courtesy of the house, first timers get a 30% discount.” She said with a smile.
“Oh really?, that’s so nice of you people.” I smiled with clamped hands.
“Thank you, you can go ahead and make payment here so you can get started as soon as possible.
“Alright”. I responded as I made the payment. “Done. Please confirm the payment”. I said in a giddy voice that caused her to chuckle lightly.
“Alright, give me a second please.” She said. I watched as she scrolled through the computer on her desk, probably confirming my payment. I admired her ginger curly hair that bounced around at her every slight movement. It was so beautiful. I was tempted to ask if that was her original hair color or if it was tinted but I knew that some people might find that rude, so I decided to keep to myself.
She also had beautiful green eyes and a perfectly sculpted face. Her facial features were beautiful and she also had good harmony too. She really looked out of this world.
She looked really tall also and had a body of a model. She was really gorgeous, if I were a man or a lesbian, I would definitely do her.
“Damn you’re a goddess!! “. I blurted out my thought without thinking. It seemed that my mouth had moved faster than my brain. When I realized, i covered my mouth and looked away to hide my face that was red from embarrassment.
“oh my, thank you.” She blushed shyly and if I thought that she couldn’t get more beautiful, I was put to shame.
“You’re welcome. Are you by any chance a model?”. I asked the question that was stuck on the tip of my tongue.
“Oh no, I’m not.” She chuckled with her long arms on her chest.
“Really?. I thought you were. I’m sure you must get this question often then”.
“No I’m really not, but I do get asked a lot”. She laughed.
“Of course”. I sighed. She was like a fantasy.
“You’re also stunning”. She complimented me.
“Oh please.” I waved her off, she was probably saying that just to return the compliment, probably not because she meant it and it wasn’t necessary.
“No you really are beautiful. I had been admiring you ever since you walked in but I wasn’t as brave as you to say it. I wish I was that brave, you know” She confessed.
“Really?, thank you”. She looked really sincere and the second compliment she gave really made my heart swell. A beautiful stranger saw me as brave, that really boosted my confidence and made me feel so good about myself.
“And don’t let me get started on that dress. You’re killing it with that gorgeous body of yours.” She sighed.
“Thank you.” My cheeks were about to fall off, and here I thought I was good with my words. I guess I had met my master because if she were asking me out now, using these words, I would be in her bed, with my ass up in the air in five minutes. Yes, I was a slut.
“You know I wish I had a curvy body like yours”. She confessed as she looked at me dreamily.
“No way”. I gasped. “I also want a body like yours, you’re stunning.”
“I guess we’re our own biggest critics and haters. You admire what I want and I envy what you have, each of us claiming that the other is beautiful and stunning and if we had it, it would made us appear more beautiful but fail to see ourselves for who we truly are or what others see.”
That really sank into me because it was the reality of so many girls and women all over the world. A skinny girl might be trying to consume so much carbs to gain weight and the curvy or chubby girl sitting across her with a salad would envy her, both not knowing that they are trying to be like each other. It was a sad reality.
“I guess I could admire and compliment you but also appreciate myself”. I responded.
“Yeah, I wish everyone would think way. We would be way happier.
I wanted to curse that she was a literal goddess and also smart but
words resonated in my head that I was about do what she just said. I could admire her but not hate myself in the process. we all had something that made us distinct from each other and that was the beauty of the world. I continued pondering on her words in the quiet hall before she spoke up again, breaking the silence.
“Alright, you’re all ready to get started. Please walk down the hall and take a right, you won’t miss it. Someone will be there already waiting to attend to you.” She informed me with a smile. It seemed she loved smiling or she knew how beautiful how smile was that was why she smiled often. Any which way, I loved it cause it always made me smile too, I’m sure she must have the same effect on everyone else.
“Thank you.” I thanked her and followed the direction with Mr. Mark trailing behind me.
I was super excited to try this out.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
