Chapter 15

“I’ll be back in a little bit, I need to get a few things. Think you bums can take care of the dishes since Coral and I made dinner?” Jude says as soon as he’s done eating, standing up from the table.

He doesn’t wait for them to answer, just puts his empty plate by the sink and comes to give me a peck. The thoughts in his mind make me blush.

The guys and I clean off the table, putting the leftovers in the fridge, and Liam starts washing the dirty dishes.

“Hey Coral, do you want me to show you how to do your makeup now?” Avery slides a hand around my waist.

I put my head on his shoulder, burrowing against him. His touch makes me realize how much I crave more time with him. “Yes, please.”

Avery grabs the makeup bag and leads me to the bathroom then dumps everything out on the counter. The girl in the mirror stares back at me, and I assess her with new eyes, comparing her to all the women I’ve seen so far.

“Gio’s right, you know. You’re gorgeous without any makeup on. All this is going to do is make you so beautiful it will hurt to look at you.”

My eyes get wide. “Then maybe we shouldn’t. I don’t want to hurt you.”

Avery chuckles. “It’s just an expression. We’re all gonna love it. But you don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to. It’s totally up to you, okay?”

Now that I understand what I was seeing, I realize that most of the women I’ve met were wearing makeup. Men must like it if so many woman wear it, and Avery thinks my guys will like it, too. If that’s what it takes to keep them interested in me, I’m determined to learn how to do it.

Avery grabs a bottle of tan liquid and squirts a little on a squishy, pink, teardrop-shaped sponge. I watch his arm as he starts dabbing the liquid on my face, admiring the golden skin sprinkled with light blond hairs. “This is foundation — it evens out your skin tone and covers up any little blemishes.”

When he’s done, he sets it with powder from a compact. I move closer to the mirror to check out the effect. It’s subtle, but my skin does look smoother, more perfect. It feels nice, too, soft and powdery.

“This is a makeup brush. You want to wash it frequently so it stays nice.” He holds it out to me so I can run my fingers over the soft, hair-like bristles.

Avery swirls the brush around a clamshell-peach powder and swipes it along my cheekbones, making me glow like I’m blushing. I can’t help smiling which makes the color stand out even more.

“The eyes are a little trickier. Some women go all out, but I think just a touch of eye shadow and mascara is enough for now.” Avery swoops a smaller brush across my lids, leaving a glimmering trail. He uses a darker color on my eyebrows, following the natural curve.
