Complete Makeover
Suddenly the large round pattern on the ground started rotating and descending. I stared at it, slightly shocked. I honestly thought that the round pattern on the floor was just for decoration, apparently, that wasn’t so. After descending into the ground, the found platform resurfaced, this time with a bright red Ferrari on it.
For a moment, I felt like I was watching some sexy cars reveal at a motor show. Both the car and the way that it was transported up in style from the ground definitely made an impact. I couldn’t help staring at the red Ferrari sports car that was now parked in front of me. I hated to admit it but it was crystal clear that Hayden and I came from different worlds. Not that I didn’t know that already, but seeing his blunt display of wealth was just rubbing the truth in my face a little bit too much.
“Stop staring and get in,” Hayden said.
His hand grabbed my arm and began pulling me towards the car as he opened the passenger seat and shoved me into the car. The black and red leather seat of the sportscar made me feel out of place. Hayden got into the driver seat in a hurry and started the car. I successfully put on my seat belt just a split of a second before Hayden started driving…fast.
I knew that he was in a hurry and not in the best of moods but isn’t this driving a little too reckless? He’s trying to get us both killed in a car crash. Either that, of he wanted to kill me by giving me a heart attack. I screamed when he made a sharp turn that sent the car screeching as it skidded on the road. I grabbed whatever I could find to hang on to dear life.
“Can’t you drive any slower!” I screamed at Hayden in my fright.
“Then what’s the point of having a Ferrari?” Hayden asked sounding extremely bored.
“I don’t know…to show off?” I replied, sarcastically.
“If you think this one is a showoff, just wait till you see the rest of my cars…” Hayden said with clear annoyance.
I couldn’t care less about what car he had or how many. All I cared about at the
moment was to survive this ride. Plus, I still didn’t know where he was taking me.
“Where are we going? Can’t you tell me now?” I asked, impatiently.
“You’ll see…” Hayden muttered, his eyes on the road.
…
The car came to a screeching stop in front of a fancy building that had a large glass display. Anyone could tell that this place was a very upscale beauty salon. A place that I would never visit in my life…normally. However, now I am standing in front of this luxurious beauty salon with Hayden, and it reminded me that my life wasn’t exactly normal right now.
“What are you spacing out for?” Hayden said as he glared at me.
Without another word, he grabbed my hand and dragged me after him inside of the salon. His hand that held mine was warm and I felt my heartbeat quicken as I watched his broad back in front of me. I wondered why we were here. Does Hayden need an urgent hair cut or something?
“This is Bruno. Bruno this is Malissa…I want you to…upgrade her and fast,” Hayden said as he introduced me to a middle-aged man.
I could tell immediately that Bruno was a stylist by the way he dressed, his aura and the way he looked in general. Bruno was just what you would imagine of a gay and talent stylist.
“Wow…where did you pick this…rough gem up? How much time do I have, baby?” Bruno said in a high-pitch voice as he looked me up and down as if appraising my worth with his expert eyes.
“Two hours max. You can manage, right?” Hayden replied hurriedly.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Oh…of course, but it’s going to cost you…extra,” Bruno replied with a bright smile full of teeth as he rubbed his thumb and index fingers together. Clearly gesturing for money.
“Yeah, whatever, just get started,” Hayden said with a sigh before plopping down on a sofa as if his job was finally over.
“Over here, my lovely. My minions…over here please!” Bruno said to me as he gestured for me to follow him before calling out to his team members.
“Wait…Hayden?” I said, confused with what was going on.
Hayden just took out his phone and began playing with it without as much as glancing in my direction. He’s just downright ignoring me right now. What a jerk!
“This way dear. I’m afraid we don’t have much time to give you a complete makeover,” Bruno said as he pushed my back, urging me deeper into the back of the building.
“A complete…makeover?” I asked in confusion. That was what he said, right?
“Yes dear. Complete makeover. Everything…you know, everything! Hair, nails, body scrub, makeup, clothes, shoes…and everything else,” Bruno quickly explained.
When we entered the area at the back where I guessed the makeover would be taking place, I was greeted with another five members of Bruno’s team. They began working on me in their respective field of expertise, all at the same time. This was probably to save time since Hayden just gave them two hours only to work their magic.
Obviously, I have never had a full makeover done by professionals before because I couldn’t afford it and honestly, never thought that I had a need for it. However, I had watched in some series and could imagine what they were going to do to me. The biggest question was, why did Hayden bring me here to get a makeover?
As I lay on the bed, getting my hair washed and my scalped massage as a facial mask was placed on my face, I began thinking once again why Hayden had arranged this for me? Did he think that I looked so dissatisfactory that I needed a complete makeover?
That thought just pissed me off and I found myself balling my hands into fists in reflex. That guy is just insulting and driving me insane…
