“Close your eyes.”
I feel a soft tickle on my eyelids. I blink.
“Maddie!”
“Sorry.” I close my eyes again and try to focus on breathing through the tickle torture.
“You are amazingly fine.”
“Yeah, I guess I am.”
“Are you relieved?”
“I feel bad saying this, but yes.”
Jack stands back to admire his work. “Having sisters has finally proved to be useful.”
“I keep waiting to cry or something. To feel bad.” I flutter my eyes at him.
“To do the usual Maddie martyr guilt?” He bends down to brush a little more eye shadow.
I stick my tongue out at him just as Peter comes into the room. He’s holding his cummerbund. He’s only in his tux pants and a white t-shirt.
He stands behind us, frozen, and looks in the mirror at me.
I look too. My eyes are smoky and sexy.
“You are hot,” Peter says ultra-serious.
“Should I worry?” Jack says to him in the same tone.
“Actually, yeah.”
“I don’t think so, boys. You see, I already exposed myself to Peter once upon a time and these guys didn’t work.” I stick out my breasts.
Peter’s face is tomato paste and Jack is howling. “Oh, I forgot. Peter is so gay that breasts frighten him. Didn’t he throw-up or something after your boob fell out?”
“No, no, that was me. He fainted, and I had to smack him to life.”
“With your boobs, right?”
Peter scowls and crosses his arms. “Very funny.”
“My turn! My turn!” Susan comes racing into my bedroom, her dress dragging without the height of her electric blue heels, open-toe version of mine.
Jack takes a few more minutes to blush brush and eye shadow me.
“Look at my hair!” Susan says as I stand up. Her hair is long and curly thanks to some extensions. She looks like a Barbie doll. She looks amazing. We both look in the mirror.
“And our dates are a couple.”
All four of us look in the mirror and laugh.
