Wendy looked at herself in the mirror while she watched Reina brushing her hair and curling the ends. Her eyes looked over herself as she took in the light makeup that covered her face, the light pink gloss that brought out the natural pinkness of her lips, and the light silvery eyeshadow that made her blue eyes pop even more. Her eyes travel down to the black dress that Reina and Maddie had picked out for her. It hugged the curves of her body and the neckline dropped deep between her breasts, stopping just under the curve of her breasts, exposing plenty of boosted cleavage with the sewn-in support. The fabric clung to her curves till it flared out a bit at her hips but had a thigh slit that exposed her right leg up to her upper thigh. She had argued with Maddie and Reina about possibly wearing some black leggings or fishnets underneath, but had the idea rejected since it would ruin the sexy look they were going for. The sisters were wearing similar dresses but in different colors and different skirt lengths. Esme was wearing a bright red dress that stopped at the middle of her thighs but still had a deep plunging neckline. Maddie’s forest green dress clung to her like a second skin, but similar to Wendy’s dress that flared out at the bottom with the thigh slit. Reina’s dark purple dress went down to her knees, but had a plunging neckline covered by a sheer black tulle.
She slowly stood up and stretched a bit, causing the dress to cling to her tighter. She blushed lightly at the sight of the dress showing off her body more then normal. She looked at her phone on the vanity before she took it. She didn’t see any new messages or text on it and frowned. She opened her texts and checked the last message she sent. She had texted Sneaky about four hours ago, asking if he wanted to go to the Valentine's ball that Party was hosting in Grapeseed, but hadn’t gotten a response yet. She looked at the message and saw that he had at least read it but chose not to reply. She let out a deep sigh that caused Reina to look over at her.
“Sneaky still not answering?” She looked at Wendy and watched her nod and sighed heavier as well. “Twinkles hasn’t responded either so don’t feel bad.. They are missing out and we can still have fun without the boys”
“Yeah! We don’t need men to have fun at a dance! We can dance with ourselves or with other guys! We can make them jealous and regret missing out on dancing with sexy women.” Esme smiled at her two sisters while Maddie nodded along with her, She smiled and looked at Wendy. “We can right together in your Limooo and pull up in style.”
Wendy smiled at Esme and nodded her head before putting her phone in a small black purse. She looked at everyone as they gathered their stuff and head out the front door. She breathed in a cool crisp air and looked up at the sun setting in the distance.
“Let me go and pull out the limoo” She stared walking from Reina’s house to the parking lot down the street, her heels making clacking noises with every step. She looked around at the neighborhood as people were getting back from work and different gang members were getting back from doing activities around the city. She got to the parking lot and froze abit when she saw a few people from Manor standing around their cars talking. She looked down at her dress and blushed more at how much it exposed. She walked quickly to the far corner and showed her phone to the valet to bring out the Limoo. She heard a loud whistle from behind before she turned and looked at a few guys from the Manor looking at her. She gave a slight wave before she saw someone come up from behind the guys and slap them across the back of their heads. She looked behind them and laughed slightly at Bones standing there with his arms crossed.
“Who are you whistling at? You guys know that Sneaky would shoot ya’ll if he heard you whistling at her.” Bones shook his head before he looked over at Wendy. He looked her up and down before he raised his eyebrow at her. “I see why they are whistling, Wendy what you wearing?” He crossed his arms again while looking at her with a smile.
“Me, Reina, Maddie, and Esme are going to the Valentine's Ball in Grapeseed. Reina and Maddie let me borrow one of their dresses for it.” She smiled sheepishly and laughed softly. She sees the valet bring out the limoo and park it next to her before disappearing. She sees Bones take out his phone and sees the flash of the camera coming off of it.
“Does Sneaky know about the ball?”
“I texted him about it but he didn’t respond to it so I don’t think he wanted to go with me” She sighed softly and unlocked the door. She sees him typing on his phone before putting the phone back in his pocket.
“I’m heading to the ball with Ash after she is done with her Hydra meeting, so I’ll see you there.” He waved at her before heading over to the group of Manor members. Wendy waved back to him and got inside the limoo. She drove over to Reina’s house and honked the horn for them to get in. She smiled and began to drive towards Grapeseed. She could hear her sister talking excitedly and taking pictures together in the back of the limoo. She squeezed the steering wheel slightly and glanced over at her purse, trying to will it to vibrate with as new message.
She looked in the rearview mirror when she hears Reina’s phone ring with the custom ringtone she had set for Twinkles. She sees Reina tense up before answering the phone with a sassy attitude.
“Oh look at who decided to call! What do you want Twinkles?!” She crossed her arms infront of her while holding the phone. “No, I asked you all week if you wanted to go to the ball with me! You said no! So I’m going with my sisters! No fuck you!” Reina ending the call then throwing her phone into her purse. She pouted abit and tapped her foot angrily. “Can you believe that?! He is mad that I’m going to the ball without him and that I’m just going to find someone better”
“Oh fuck Twinkles! Let him think what he wants! Maybe you’ll find someone better and to have fun with while you’re there,” Maddie smiled at Reina and hugged her lightly. “Don’t let a man ruin your night! We are going to have fun!” Maddie and Esme cheered loudly, getting the energy back up to where Reina and Wendy cheered along with them. Wendy glanced at her silent purse and sighed silently at the lack of messages or calls from Sneaky. She gripped the steering wheel tightly and forced herself to look away from her purse and focus on the road.
Wendy slowed the Limoo down in front of the Grapeseed barn to let her sisters out before driving over to the dirt patch next to the barn where everyone was parking. She could hear the music playing from the barn and could faintly feel the bass in her chest. She slid out of the limoo and squeaks when her heel lands on a pebble, and she loses her footing. She feels herself beginning to fall, but a pair of muscular arms catch her and pull her up. She looked up and sees Sean looking down at her, smiling brightly when he sees her. He slowly steadies her with his hand holding hers.
“Hey Wendy! Nice to see you here,” He smiled as his eyes began to travel down, taking in the sight of her dress and how revealing it is. He looks back up to her and coughs softly into his fist. “Did you come here by yourself?” He looked behind her and at the limoo to see if anyone else was inside.
“I came with my sisters, I dropped them off in the front of the barn so I could park.” She looked at him and wiped her hand on her dress. She shouldered her purse and looked at him since she could sense that he was staring at her.
“Your man didn’t come?” He looked around while he began to walk with her towards the barn. She sighed abit and frowns slightly at the thought of Sneaky.
“No, he is busy with other projects so I’m just here with my sisters to have a girls day” She looked up at the entrance of the barn and looked at her sisters waiting on her. “I’ll talk to you later, hopefully you have fun”
“Maybe save me a dance?” He winked at her and walked faster to enter the barn. She shook her head and walked over to Reina. Reina raised an eyebrow and looked at Sean’s retreating figure. Wendy looked at her and sighed softly before shaking her head.
“He kept me from falling and was helping me back here. Nothing is going on and he isn’t getting that dance.” She smiled at Reina and linked arms with her. “But lets not focus on that, we are here to have some fun without the boys, so lets go in and have fun.”
They both laughed and went inside the bar, following Maddie and Esme into the barn. The music was booming and could be felt with how loud it was, and the bass was bumping, vibrating the entire place. She looked around at the pink, red, and white balloons that made arches all around with the streamers. Hearts were covering every surface of the barn as the streamers had hearts hanging from them. She looked to the right and saw the catering bar being manned by one of the food stalls. They had made a special menu for the event and was selling heart sandwiches to people along with a pink fizzy drink. Wendy smiled at everyone standing around and a few couples dancing on the dance floor that was illuminated by the dj lights. She could feel a few eyes on her and Reina as she walked around and settled by a table that was close to the dancefloor and snacks. She sees a few men come up to Esme and Maddie, shooting their shot with the sister to try and get them to dance. Esme smiled and flirted with them as she twirled her hair around her finger slightly while Maddie had her hands crossed infront of her, watching a blonde-haired man try and flirt with her.
Wendy sat down at the table and stretched a bit, listening to the music, her favorite artist taking the stage and beginning her set for the event. She opened her purse and brought her phone out. She turned on the screen and saw no new messages from Sneaky. She had a few messages from other clowns and friends who were attending the event, all telling her that she looked nice. She sighed heavier and looked around at the sea of people, all having fun and laughing with each other. She looked to her right at Reina getting back from the snack table with an armful of sandwiches and two fizzy drinks.
“These drinks are really tasty, they are strawberry soda with heart candy in them,” Reina sliding a glass over to Wendy before sitting down with the sandwiches. Wendy smiled and took the flute glass and took a small sip. Her eyes lighting up at the sweet strawberry taste that mixed abit with the strawberry candies that lined the bottom. She nods her head and looked at Esme, laughing out loud before heading to the dancefloor with a man in a black button-up. She smiled since it had been a while since she had seen Esme laugh out loud. She smiled at Reina since she had stood up to get a picture of the sight. She leaned back against the chair and smield at the laughter coming from around her.
She stood up after a few minutes and looked at Reina, then held out her hand and smiled brightly.
“Lets go and dance together, I really love this song”
“Alright!”
Reina and her walked to the dance floor and began to dance together, ignoring the other people around them who were dancing. Maddie joined them after a minute and began to dance along with her sisters. Each of them was laughing at the other’s dance moves since they started to exaggerate their moves to the beat. Wendy smiled brightly and looked at Esme, who was dancing with someone she didn’t recognize but looked remarkably like Shang from the back. She caught her eye and gave her a thumbs-up. She looked across the dance floor and noticed that Marley was dancing along the wall with a bottle of booze and with Dr. Stacey dancing nearby, keeping an eye on the purple clown. She had noticed quite a few people around her and most of the couples were dancing close to each other.
Wendy panted as she sat down at the table and fanned herself. She had been dancing with Reina and Maddie for half an hour, and the heels on her feet were killing her. She leaned down and slowly unstrapped her heels, kicking them off her feet. She sighed happily at the relief and flexed her toes abit. She looked over at the dance floor and saw the clowns all together and dancing. Marley sways around slightly as Reina and Maddie use each of his arms to dance around. Other men were looking at them with interest but didn’t get too close since Marley was dancing with the girls. She stretched slightly but looked down at the dress and see it hugging her form tightly. She shook her head and crossed her arms infront of her chest.
She perked up abit when she heard someone clear their throat and looked infront of her. She sees Sean standing there with two glasses of the strawberry drink.
“Is this seat taken?” He nodded to the seat next to her, but sat down before she could answer. She rolled her eyes slightly at the gesture but nodded her head to him. He smiled and sat the glass next to her and stretched. “Been a busy night, glad that the event is going well”
“Me too, I know that Party put alot of work into it, so I'm happy that it’s going so well. I love the lineup that they have tonight.” She took the drink and began to sip it slowly. She glanced at the dance floor again to see if any of her sisters were coming back, but saw them enjoying themselves.
“I saw you dancing with your friends; it looked like you were having fun. It’s a shame that your mans couldn’t make it. I imagine you were looking forward to dancing with him.” He looked over at her and smiled, his eyes wandering over her dress before quickly looking away, listening to a slow song beginning to play from the dj. He stood up and stepped infront of her with his hand extended. “Hope it’s not a problem if you have one dance with me?”
“Actually…it would be a problem… especially since she already has a partner.” A deep voice talks over the music from behind Sean. He felt the cold metal of a gun being pressed against his temple. He slowly turned and looked at the six-foot-eight-tall man infront of him, dressed in a black button-up and silver tie with a black biker jacket over his shoulders. He looked at the half skeleton face paint on him and how his ice blue eyes seemed to be freezing him into place.
Wendy looked around Sean and smiled brightly when she saw Nate standing there. She stood up but let out a small squeak when she tripped over her heels that she kicked off infront of her. She felt herself falling forward until a muscular, warm arm caught her and wrapped around her waist. She looked up and blushed when Nate was infront of her and had caught her with one arm. His other arm still pressing the gun to Sean’s head. She straightened herself up but felt his arm holding her against him tighter. She saw Sean’s hands go up and take a step back.
“Was just asking her to dance as a friend. Her boyfriend isn’t here, so figured she would want someone to dance with at least once.” Sean looked at him and kept taking steps back till he didn’t feel the muzzle of the gun pressed against him. He could see the man infront of him and looked dow at his arm around Wendy’s waist. “Think her boyfriend would have a problem with how you’re holding her tho, isn’t that right, Wendy?”
“How about you let me worry about what her boyfriend would like, and you just mind your business? I’m sure there are other people you can bother besides Little Wendy.” Nate smiled at Sean, a playful glint shining in his eyes. Sean nods and turns around, walking into the small crowd that was lingering near the table to get the tea. She looked at Nate and laughed a bit awkwardly.
“Thank you, my skeleton. I didn’t want to dance with him, but he seemed like he wouldn’t take no for an answer.” She looked at him as he tracked Sean’s movements until he couldn’t see him anymore. He looked down at her, his eyes taking in the outfit and how it fit her curves. His arm unwrapped from her waist while he shrugged off his jacket. He put it over her shoulders and nodded in approval. Wendy smiled as she felt the warmth of his jacket over her shoulders and could smell how the jacket smelt of him. The jacket going down to her waist and covers most of her dress.
“With a knockout dress like that, it’s no wonder he wouldn’t stop buzzing around you.. Im sure he would of loved to feel the fabric with his own hands.” Nate grumbled while he moved to stand behind her and wrap his arms around her waist, pulling her close to his chest. “Bonesey sent me a photo of you earlier and I had to come and see this dress for myself… Can’t have other men staring at what’s mine.” He rest his chin ontop of her head.
“They could look all they want, but none of them get to touch. That right is yours alone.” Wendy smiled and swayed them slowly to the beat of the music. She heard his hum in response and felt his arms hold her tighter. She looked ahead and smiled when she saw Reina and Twinkles arguing in the corner of the dancefloor. “I see that you got Twinkles to come as well.”
“Yeah, when he saw the picture of you in your dress, he wanted to know what Reina was wearing. She wouldn’t send him a photo since she was mad at him, so he came.” Nate chuckled as he looked at the arguing couple as well. He held Wendy tighter and swayed with her to the music. “Luckly the thing we had to help with went well and we finished before the ball was over.. Didn’t want to come but I didn’t want to miss seeing you all dressed up”
Wendy blushed and smiled at his words and felt him kiss the top of her head. She felt his arms unwrap from her waist, and one of his hands took hers. She looked down at their hands and then at him when he began to lead her to the dance floor. A new slow song began to play and the dancefloor became crowded with couples once again. He turned and looked at her before he squeezed her hand in his.
“May I have this dance, darling?” He looked in her eyes and smiled slightly. Wendy giggled and smiled as she stepped closer to him and put her hand on his shoulder. She felt him wrap his other arm around her waist and bring her close.
“Always my love”
