“You’re last task awaits you,” she said as she put on her shorts and top before I caught up to her.

“Make me look appealing at least,” I said as we walked into the store together.

I decided to go around the entire store and try on every single sample. We almost went around the entire store when I looked in the mirror to see what I looked like. My girl was laughing so hard when she saw my reaction to what I looked like.

“Half my face looks like a clown and what the fuck is on my left cheek!”

“I wanted to lay tic-tac-toe,” she said between laughs.

“With yourself??” I replied as I still stared at what I looked like.

“Wait let me take a picture,” she said as she pulled out her camera and snapped a shot.

Apparently my girl was laughing so hard an employee came up to her and asked her if she was alright. When I turned to see who she was talking to, the employee’s eyes got big once she saw my face. She tried to hide her laugh, but she wasn’t very successful.

“uhmm…do you need help with anything?” She asked holding back her laughter.

“Do you have anything else I can try on?” I asked in a sarcastic voice.

“Unfortunately no, but I think you’ve had enough samples already.” She said with a smile.

“Ok thanks. I’ll be going now.” I replied as I walked past my girl who was still laughing and pulled her out of the store. “OK you’ve seriously been laughing for 30 minutes straight.” I said as I started to clean up all the make up on me. “You’re not gonna be laughing for long, cause you have a performance now,” I said with a smirk.

She immediately stopped laughing and asked, “where’s the stage?”

x~o~x~o~x~o

We stood in front of the empty stage and I started to quietly sing to her

“Lock eyes from across the room

Down my drink while the rhythms boom

Take your hand; skip the names

No need here for the silly games
