I WANT TO LOOK HOT!

CHAPTER 30: I WANT TO LOOK HOT!
~ Harper’s POV ~

After leaving Gabriel’s room, I rushed downstairs to my room to continue to get ready. I can’t be upset with Gabe for wanting to do something nice for me. I do feel guilty for accepting all that stuff though. I am going to pay back every last cent he spent on me. It’s so cheesy when I think about my feelings for Gabe. Things seem to be moving quickly in our relationship. It’s strange though, I feel like I have known him a lot longer than I really have. I like him a lot... I think I feel more than that, but I don’t want to go there right now. It is way too soon for feelings like that.

I heard a soft knock on my door. I walked to the door and opened it.
“Hi Harper, I was just checking to see if you liked the clothes I brought down. How is everything going?” Kelly asked.
“Hey Kelly, come in! Everything is great. The clothes are gorgeous, although I don’t really need them now. Gabe bought me a whole wardrobe! Can you believe that? He didn’t even ask me if it was ok.” I said. Kelly giggled.
“That is because he knew you would say no.” Kelly said back to me. She walked in and sat down on the edge of my bed.

I walked back into my bathroom to continue to apply my makeup. We were still close enough where we could continue our conversation.
“Yes, you're right. I would have told him absolutely not. It was all really sweet, and I really don’t know how to thank him for being so kind to me. And... What about you? You brought me all these clothes to wear. I asked if you had a simple dress. Look at this! Are you rich? These are all name brand dresses and shoes. You didn’t have to do any of this for me.” I said to her, Kelly smiled warmly at me. Everyone was so nice to me excluding Samantha. I have grown really close to Gabe, Tanner, Kai, and Kelly.
“Harper, you need to understand something. In this pack, we are not just comembers. We are family. If one of our members needs something, anyone of us in this pack will step in to help if we are able. You may as well be ok with it girly because it is not going to change.” I grabbed Kelly and hugged her neck. Tears were swelling in my eyes.

I stepped back so I could wipe my eyes with my hands quickly, so I didn’t mess up my eye makeup.
“Kelly, I will never be able to repay you for all the kindness you have shown me. All I can do is show you kindness in return. I’ll also be a good friend. If you ever need anything, I will be right here for you.” I smiled at her. Kelly smiled back at me.

Standing up she started toward my bedroom door to leave. Suddenly I had the best idea!
“Kelly wait!” She turned to look at me. “Would you like to go to club howl with us tonight? I don’t want to be the only girl in my group going.” She bit her lip and diverted her eyes from me.
“I don’t know, I have a lot of responsibilities here. I would really love to go out though. Are you sure it’s alright?” She asked me. I jumped up and down excitedly.
“Yes! It will be alright. I am sure Gabriel will be thrilled to have you come with us. I know I will!” Kelly’s bubbly personality exploded.
“Ok, do I have time to change and get dressed up?” She asked me.
“Of course, I am still getting ready myself. Just meet me back here when you are done. We will walk to the entrance of the packhouse together.” She giggled and ran from my room. I am so excited.

I mind linked Gabriel. “Gabe, Kelly is going with us. That is ok, right?” I asked him. I hope I didn’t have to do much convincing to get her out of her packhouse duties.
“Uh... yeah that's great. I am glad you have a friend that is a girl to bring with you.” I smiled to myself.
“Thank you, I shouldn’t have told her it was ok. I know I don’t have that authority.” I said through our link. I bit my lip a little nervously.
“What?... No, that is fine. Kelly deserves to go out and have a little fun the same as we do. I think it’s a great idea.” said Gabe.
“Ok, I am still getting ready. Kelly is meeting me here. Then she and I are walking down together.”
“That sounds great, I’ll see you there.”

Gabe ended the link between us. Tonight, I don’t want to look beautiful. I want to look HOT. I haven’t been able to doll up since I have been here. I loved dressing up to go to fancy celebrations with my parents. I bit my lip as I thought to myself. I really want Gabriel to think I am sexy tonight. I know he is trying to respect me by holding back, but I want so badly to go further with him.

I am a virgin. I don’t have any experience going all the way, but everything felt so natural with him. I felt satisfied with the way my makeup turned out. I went for a smokey look with my eye shadow, emphasizing my green eyes. I applied liner to my lips but left them a beautiful nude color. I added some fake lashes that I had left over in my makeup bag. Then applied some mascara to make them even bigger and fuller looking. I added a little eyeliner to finish the look I was aiming for. It took a little time, but I finally had my foundation contoured just right. I added some highlighter and blush, finishing my makeup. Then I started on my hair.

How would I like to do my hair tonight? I don’t want to look professional. I don’t want to look sweet. Hmm... I thought about it for a minute. Should I braid it down my back? Not too young. I answered myself. I always wear my hair natural and wavy.

Tonight, I want it straightened. That’s perfect! but I need a flat iron. I mind linked Gabe again.
“Gabe....” I said sweetly.
“Yeah, babe. Do you need something?” He replied to me.
“Do you know where I can find a hair flat iron?” He may not even know what that is.
“I am sure one of the girls around the pack house will have one you can use. I’ll have Tanner run one down to you.” Yay!
“Thank you, handsome.” I said in a flirty tone.
“Maybe I should bring that flat iron to you.” Gabe replied to me. I giggled at him.
“I don’t think so. You can’t see me yet.” I said. Then I quickly closed the link. I took my time checking my makeup again in the mirror.

Tanner knocked on my door, he had perfect timing. I opened the door and he handed me the flat iron.
“Thanks Tanner, I am almost ready.” I told him.
“Sounds good Harper, we are all waiting at the door for you and Kelly.” Gabe must have told him that Kelly was going with us. I shut the door and plugged in the flat iron. While I was waiting for it to heat up, I decided to go ahead and get dressed.

I picked up the dress from my bed. It was gorgeous. I didn’t even look through the other dresses. This is the one... It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get it on. It was a shimmery silver dress. My back was completely exposed. In the front, there were thin sleeves that hung off my shoulders. The dress was held up by a piece of fabric that looped behind my neck. It crossed over my chest like an X. The neckline dipped, almost exposing my belly button. This caused a lot of cleavage to be exposed. I would have to make sure one of my girls doesn’t pop out while I am dancing. The dress was tight in all the right places. Not only all that, but it was short. Like very short. My rear was nearly out in the back. This dress is more revealing than anything I have ever worn in my life.

I quickly straightened my long black hair; it had a silky look and feel from the heat of the flat iron. Finally, I put on the high heels I had picked out to go with the dress. They were silver, strappy heels that buttoned around the ankle. One little strap went over my foot and my toes were uncovered. They were really tall. I can walk in heels, but I have never worn heels this tall.

Am I sure I can walk in these? Yes, girl you can! I answered myself. I stepped back taking a look at myself in the mirror. Oh. My. Gosh. I was a whole other person. I didn’t recognize myself. I have always liked to do my makeup and dress up, but I have never combined it all with clothes like this. I looked like I have way more experience in the bedroom than I really do. My short dress showed off my toned legs that looked longer because of the heels that I was wearing. My curves were all out there for everyone to see. My cleavage was very pronounced because of the dipped neckline in the dress and the way the bust was held up by the straps across my chest. I started feeling self-conscious. Can I go out like this?
