"You do have a beautiful voice, and if you've found someone, it's time to stop stripping.Trust me on that piece of advice."She says as she works."Tell me about this man of yours."
"Holy Hades, Jacqueline, I met him in Alabama while I was home," I tell her and proceed to explain how he was so fucking hot.I couldn't think of anything else, how he moved onto my floor and how he slowly seduced me.When she spins me around to see myself in the mirror on the wall in front of me.I'm surprised by my own face.I look like a beautiful doll.She has taken a perfect color of peach pink and dusted my cheekbones, creating a hint of a healthy shadow, sculpted the hallow of my eyes with a slightly darker shade, highlighted the brow line with pale shimmering pink, outlined my dark eyelashes with pure black, applied black mascara, and outlined my lips with a darker, brighter shade of the peach, but left my lips free of goo.
"Wow!I look...."I pause, and she adds.
"Perfect.Now let's make this hair perfect too."She quickly braids a few very thin strands with tiny white roses buds and gold leaves.When she is finished, she compliments herself."Perfection."Then she holds a mirror behind my head so I can see it.
"I fucking love it!Oh my gosh!"I look up at her reflection and make a decision.Standing up, I turn to face her, eye to eye, woman to woman."Jacqueline, I want you to come work for me.Just me.Not as my show makeup artist, but as my normal everyday girl makeup and hair artist.With this new gig, I'll be going out a lot and highly visible.I'm going to need someone who can keep me true to myself.Please, please say you will consider it?"
"I'm flattered, and hell yeah, I'll consider it."She starts to hug me, then rethinks it, making me laugh."But this isn't the time to be thinking about that.When you get back in the groove, if your offer still stands, I'll be right here."She tells me."Now, go to your man.He's been waiting long enough."
I spin around and face the door.Suddenly butterflies the size of birds start to fly around my gut, and I stare at it.
Barbara comes back in, and I can feel them exchanging a look."Oh!My dear, you are looking more like a golden goddess now than when I left."She walks between me and the door, smiling, then reaches for it and pulls it open."Come now.Your Golden God is waiting for you."And she walks out.
I turn to look at Jacqueline.
"Would you like me to walk with you?"She asks gently.
For some reason, I have no spit, so I nod.
The three of us walk in silence down the hall.Barbara turns to me and says."You are in Chapel #9."
"Number 9?"
"Yes."
Ah, Karma.You are truly amazing.
We stop outside the double doors with the gold #9 on them.Barbara says."I really think you should sing that song you were humming.Your voice is beautiful."
"I'm not sure I can."I smile."I have cottonmouth."
Jacqueline offers."Hold on."She hunts in her big bag slung over her shoulder."I have a bottle of water right here."Grinning, she twists the top off and hands it to me.Barbara opens the first door wide, hooks it, then swings the other open and repeats the process.I take a big healthy mouthful, swish it around in my mouth and swallow those butterfly birds.
I grin at Jacqueline as I hand the bottle back."See.You would be perfect for this."
She reaches over and gives me a quick hug, adjusts a few strands of my hair, and backs away.I focus my eyes on the floor, knowing when I lift them and find Aurei's, his will hit me hard and deep, and pierce my soul.My wildness will leap to meet his thunder, and this time....This time I will give it up to be tamed.
I step out of the shadows and into the middle of the doorway.I hear his words, and I smile."Breathe, baby.Breathe with me, My Sweet Wild Every Thang."
I rehearse my lines for the last time.I've opened my soul to you, and today I deliver it to you, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse.Knowing how the words will make him feel, I grin wickedly at the floor.Concise communication delivered straight line without any curves will speak louder that all the fluffy, fancy words could ever hope to.He taught me that.He will absofuckinglutely love what I will say.
I lift my eyes to be possessed by him.
Looking down the aisle, I absorb what I see before our boom stuns me, and what I see makes the butterflies vanish.Standing tall and proud, watching me, like the hunter with his eye on the prey, is my man.My beautiful man.He is completely relaxed, but his face thunders to me to come to him with that intense look he has for only me.
Without a doubt, that is the most handsome face on the most beautiful man I have ever laid eyes on.Ah!He has the most beautiful smile on his face.His white teeth radiate, and he is very dashing in his tailored tuxedo, custom cut to accentuate his muscular build, small waist, and straight legs.The man of my dreams, my Soulmate, my hero, is about to officially be all mine!
Calm settles over me like a warm security blanket."I do know exactly what I'm doing.I'm becoming Mrs.Maximus Aurelius Moore."
Our eyes lock.His gorgeous emerald green gaze pierces me, and as I take the first steps to him, I begin to sing.
The door opens, and my heart stops.A big woman steps in.It skips a few beats, then resumes its nervous pounding in my chest.Watching her as she pushes the door open wide and locks it, it stops beating again.It's time.I can hear my breath in my ears as I breathe in, then out in a rhythmic, hypnotic pace.Watching the big woman move across my line of sight to secure the second door, my eyes adjust themselves to the low light in the hallway, and I spot her.My bride.Waiting just outside the threshold in the shadow.My Miss Wright is about to become My Mrs.Moore.
Standing still as a statue, my bride shimmers perfection in her wedding gown.I knew the moment I saw this unique fabric in Rome that Siri had to be wrapped in it.She was so patient, letting every angle of her body be measured.Any other woman would have been uncomfortable or difficult.But not Siri.She stood with bold confidence in her beauty and respectful for the professional eye of the tailor.Clueless why, but not needing to know more than the simple fact that I wanted her to.She's such a unique find.My goddess in her goddess gown.She is stunning, simply stunning!
I watch her take a bottle from the woman standing with her.I smirk.She doesn't realize I can see her.She sucks the water from it, then moves the liquid around in her mouth, pushing her cheeks out and in, then swallowing all of it in one giant gulp.My cock thumps, knowing how that feels.I look away to regain control, and when I look back, she has stepped into the light.
