Her Soldier

Chapter 20

I took extra time preparing myself for tonight. I had spent the better half of the day sleeping so that I wouldn't get tired tonight since this is my last night with Zack and I wanted to make sure I wouldn't miss a moment of it.

There was the flutter of butterflies in my stomach as I applied liquid eyeliner to the top of my lids. I wanted to look flawless tonight, especially since I'd be spending it with Zack.

I didn't tell my mum that I was going to a club. I just told her that we were going to have a dinner to celebrate our week together before he goes back to being, you know, a soldier.

I was also glad that Steve whisked her away today, promising to bring her back later on tonight before midnight; to which I strongly encouraged for him to take his time and not rush.

Lord knows how my mother would collapse if she saw what I was going to wear tonight. At the thought, my eyes went to the blue dress on my bed before I looked back at myself in the mirror and looked over my makeup.

I felt confident about the amount of work I'd done on my face. I ran my fingers over the eyelash extensions before I stood up from my vanity mirror and began to untie the silk robe covering my naked form.

I picked up the thong before I slid it on. The dress was really tight and I didn't want my panty line to show. I don't have a problem with a panty line, but others do, so I'd like to not have everyone's eyes on my ass as I walked around.

My fingers tingled in excitement as I picked up the dress that I bought a few days ago online and I was glad to find that it resembled the internet picture. I quickly but carefully put on the dress, feeling myself transform into a sexy vixen. It was nothing too revealing but it was sexy, stylish and would certainly turn heads. It had a crisscross open back and had blue sequins all over the dress. It reached just above mid-thigh and was quite provocative. 

I untied my hair from the high bun that kept it away from my face while I was doing my makeup. I smoothed my hands over my hair, shaking my head as I enjoyed the bounciness of the curls.

I picked up the pair of Ralph and Russo heels that went perfectly with my outfit. I didn't want to look trashy, I wanted to look stylish, rich and fabulous and I know I knocked it out of the park.

I accessorized, using all the designer pins that my mother had given me all those times she'd go on business trips around the world, and I had never worn them because I was never a flashy girl; but now, I had someone to impress. I had to look my best for Zack and I wanted him to remember me. He'll be leaving tomorrow night, so I only want him to see the best image of me before he ever forgets me.

I let out a satisfied smile as I confidently spun in the mirror and looked at myself from all angles. I don't think I've ever looked this good in my life. 

I picked up my little blue purse before putting whatever necessities I need into it. I looked behind me at my messy bedroom but didn’t have the energy to clean it up right now. I walked to my bedroom door and unlocked it, stepping out of my room into the silent home.

I was the only one home and the sound of my expensive heels smacking against the tiles with each confident strut, echoed throughout. I checked the kitchen and made sure the stove was off and all the TV’s in the house were switched off.

I took the keys to the Jaguar, and locked the door behind me as I made my way to the car. My mum's Lamborghini was neatly parked in the garage because she left with Steve's car. I walked around it, taking my phone and placing it on loud speaker.

"Hey, Liesl," I greeted my best friend, a huge smile coming onto my face.

"My b***h!" she giggled excitedly, "what's up?"

"I'm on my way to your house to pick up the…weed," I whispered and she laughed.

"Alright, I'm waiting for you. This is the real s**t," she told me like she told me last night and I rolled my eyes. I don't usually do drugs, well, I've smoked weed a handful of times, usually when I was with Liesl and it was the best stuff. She's got an endless supply of m*******a because she has it growing in her own backyard, and she and her whole family sit around the fireplace and get high together.

I didn't tell her about Zack, Lord knows how excited she'll get and will probably want to tag along but I'm selfish and I want his attention solely on me, "I know that, that's why I want it," I placed the phone on my lap, taking off my heels and throwing them into the passenger seat as I started the car and reversed out of the garage, "I'll be there in ten minutes max," she said bye shortly after and I began to play music to get me in the mood.

It was half past 6 and I couldn't wait until we arrived at the famous Taboo club where we would both get turned up because the DJ line up for tonight is off the charts. I bit the corner of my lip as I tapped my finger to the music playing in the car.
