05a - My Dream Day - Part 1

So every girl has their dream day. 
This is a day that every little wish and thought
come as close as it can to be true.

This is my dream day as Michelle.

As I sit on my couch waiting for you to show up, I have butterflies in my stomach. I can't tell you how many times I have fixed my hair and my blouse. I want to make sure that I look as pretty as you had pictured me. There is no Faceapp now to hide behind. Finally, we get to see each other face-to-face.

We have been chatting online now for at least a couple of months and it seems that we are very close in many thoughts and values. It seems that after each time we chat, both of us can wait until the next time.

Since I was so nervous in meeting you for the first time, I decided to wear the most comfortable outfit that I could think of. 

I decided to wear my favourite top and jeans that I had picked up at Torrid. The top is blue with a flower pattern all over it.

The jeans are the ones that I think that I look the best in. I don't have much of a butt but these jeans make something out of nothing. 

As for shoes, I had to wear my suede booties with a 2" heel. These are the most comfortable pair of boots that I own. I hope to pick up some wedges today but these booties will have to do.

I hear a knock at the door and my heart skips a beat. I slowly get up from the couch and walk towards the front door. I can see your silhouette through the glass. 

I slowly open the door and there you stand. I very handsome gentleman who is about 5'10" with broad shoulders, brown hair and an average build. He's wearing some nice jeans and button down shirt with a light charcoal grey jacket.

"Andrew?" I try to say in a soft feminine voice.

"Michelle?" you quickly reply. "It is nice to finally meet you."

I step forward with my arms open as we embrace in a lovely hug. You gently kiss my cheek and then I feel your arms wrap around me as you squeeze me in tightly against you. I wrap my arms around and squeeze you tightly.  

"Let me get my things and then we can get going. How's the weather outside?" 

"It is cool but it is supposed to warm up later. If you bring a jacket, you can always leave it in the back seat of my car."

I take your advice and grab a jacket and my purse and we head out to your car. We walk out of my house, I lock the door and then head to your car. It's a really nice looking Ford Focus in a metallic grey. You graciously open the door for me and the both of us jump in.

When we get in, I ask you, "So you said that you want to keep today a surprise. I know I tried to get some of it out of you but you have been all quiet with the plans. So I ask you, where are we off to first?"

You have a gentle smile as you reply, "I have some fun plans for us and it all has to do with you. Oh, as the gentleman that I am, everything and I mean everything is on me today. No comments or trying to sneak something. Got it?"

"Yes sir and thank you so much. You really don't have to."

"I know I don't have to but, they key is, I want to."

As we drive off, you turn up the radio as one of your favourite songs starts to play. "I love this song." The song is The Spirit Of Radio by Rush. I, too, like the song and tell you to turn it up a little. As we are listening to the song, I ask you, "Have you ever seen Rush live? I remember seeing them in December of 1991 at Maple Leaf Gardens with my best friend."

You look over at me and say, "OMG! You were at that concert! So was I! I remember that concert like it was yesterday. Wasn't that the Roll the Bones tour?"

"Yes it was. Isn't it funny how our paths may have crossed even back then. Well, you would have never met Michelle back then but you never know, we might have bumped into each other back then." 

I continue, "I wasn't as active as Michelle back then. I have thought about coming out to my best friend. He really is a great guy and I really don't think he would say or do anything. I just don't want to take that chance. We have known each other for over 25+ years. Actually I think it is close to 30."

"Well, if you have known him that long, I am sure that something like this probably isn't going to make a big difference in your friendship but it still would be a chance that you would have to take."

After only driving for about 5 minutes, you pull into a parking spot and tell me that we are at our first location. I look up and see that the store is "Complete Touch Beauty Salon". You turn to me and say, "You are getting a quick makeup makeover. They are going to do some basic makeup and fix up your hair a little." There is a barber around the corner and I am getting a hair cut. Now go an enjoy."

I walk into the store and a lovely girl approaches me and says, "Hey, sweetie! My name is Kim. You must be Michelle. Come on in and take a seat." I take a seat and she says, "So you have someone special there. I remember him coming in and asking how much it would be to apply some makeup and fix her hair." 

"Yeah, I know, he is pretty special."

"So what are your plans for today?" I quickly reply, "I have no idea. He will not tell me so I am literally going with the flow and if this is the first part of the day, I cannot imagine what it will be like for the rest of the day." We both giggle and she blurts out, "Hey, girl. If someone is going to take care of you all day, enjoy it and he's a keeper for sure." After a short pause, Kim says, "So do you know what you want or do you just want me to have some fun but not too much fun."

"Well I know I don't want anything over the top and something more natural looking. Just wait, let me check my phone." As I am scrolling through all of my pictures, Kim is looking over my shoulder. We stop at one picture and I turn to her and say, "If you want make me look like this, I will love you forever!"

Kim looks at me and says, "Let me try and I hope that I can get pretty close. Do you want to see the process or be surprised."

"I think this time, I want to be surprised, sweetie! Just not too surprised because I am telling you that I will start to cry and I don't want to ruin what you have done."

"We will have tissues ready and waiting, hun."

After about an hour of Kim doing her "magic", she looks at me and smiles. "Sweetie, I have to say that you look absolutely amazing. When your man sees you, he is going to absolutely flip!"

"Okay can I see what you have done?" "Ready. 1... 2... 3...." You turn me around in my chair and I see myself in the mirror. 

"Pass me that tissue!" I look at myself and I see a beautiful woman! Yes, I can see my own features but they just accentuate my looks. "OMG! Kim, I absolutely love it! I look amazing! You made me into a beautiful woman!"

Just as I say that, you walk into the store and look at me. Your mouth drops and all you says is, "Oh my fucking god! You look absolutely stunning, Michelle!" 

I look at you and demand, "Can you PLEASE give this lovely girl a wonderful tip!" "Yes, Ma'am! Of course I will!"

Kim's face lights up as you pass her a generous tip. All you say to her is, "You did an amazing job and this is well deserved." She looks at the both of use and says, "You are welcome. Now enjoy the rest of your day."

We walk out of the store, hand in hand.
