Chapter Twenty Seven
Eleven a.m. Taylor rolls out of bed and stumbles down the stairs to the kitchen.
"Hi honey! Are you almost awake to start getting ready for tonight?"
"What?! Already?! It's only.." He looked at the clock. "Eleven."
"Yeah. Have lunch and then get ready."
"Okay mom. Whatever."
"Here's your lunch. Everybody else is eating later."
"Alrighty then." A peanut butter and jelly sandwich was set in front of him. When he was done, Diana led him to a closet in the t.v. room that had everybody's formal clothes hidden away.
"Lets get ready to stunn everybody." She said, digging through the clooset hangers.
********************
"Love! Love! Wake up. It's noon. We have to do your hair now or it won't work. Wake up!" My mom was shaking me.
"What." I groaned and rolled over. I opened my eyes and saw my mom standing next to me with the box of rollers in her hands. "Ohmygosh! I completely forgot!" I shot out of bed and ran to my bathroom. "Come do my hair in here mom!" I called out to her. She came and set up while I washed my hair. Then we began to roll my hair into humongous curlers once it was up in a high pony tail.
********************
"Taylor, try this one on." She pulled out a black suit from the closet and held it up in front of him. "Hmmmm. Maybe this one. Try this one."
"Mom! This is the third one I've tried on!"
"What. Do you want to go over and tell Love you have to cancel tonight? Oh. You might want to give her an idea who she might go with. As a matter of fact, maybe Isaac might want to go."
"No! Alright, alright. I'm going." He grumbled, going to the bathroom to change.
"I found another one for you to try on. This looks perfect." She yelled across the house.
"That's what you said about the last one, and that one was small enough to fit Mackie!" He hollard back.
"Just get dressed!"
********************
"Okay, your hair is done." She sprayed another bottle of hairspray on the set of curlers frying my hair to a frizz.
"Isn't that gonna set on fire mom?"
"Of course not. Why would I wanna set your hair on fire?"
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe you want to steal my date and dress."
"I'm shocked! You think I'm out to sabatoge your night! Besides. I haven't even seen your dress yet."
"You're silly mom."
"Your hair is almost dry. Go put on your dress and shoes. I can't wait to see it. Then we can take the curlers out." Twenty minutes later, I had my dress and shoes on, along with my big curlers. I came out and my mom had disappeared.
"Mom! I'm done!"
"Come down here with your make-up and accessories. Finish getting ready down here with me."
"Coming!" I gathered my stuff and went downstairs. My mom had her dress on and was doing her hair into a braided bun.
Oh Love! I love that dress!"
"Taylor picked it out."
"He did?!"
"Yeah. He has good taste, doesn't he."
"Yes he does. Love, that is beautiful!"
"Thanks."
"Lets do our make-up, then take out your curlers." I smiled and spread out my cosmetics.
"Lets get to it."
********************
"Oh Taylor, that fits perfect. You look so handsome. What are you going to do with your hair?" Tay went over to a big mirror and studied his reflection. 'I do look good.' Tay admitted to himself. The black tux with a white button down shirt underneath was pretty cool looking.
"I think I'll leave it down."
"Okay. Well, it's almost five thirty, so sit and wait for a while." He sat in the rocker and looked out the window, waiting for the neighbors to come.
