let's get ready!!

                                    

                                          
'we have to get ready for the ball soon.' alya said as she checked her watch. 
nino, alya, marinette and adrien were sitting together against a wall on the top of the tower. 
'uh man is it necessary?' groaned nino
'i want to.' said marinette and adrien agreed, 'though im tired.'
'what color are you wearing mari?' asked alya.
'uh i dunno yet, ill just choose...'
'you should definately go for red.'
'red...no, red isnt really my color.' she said and adrien started coughing and burst into laughter. marinette giggled too as she realised her ladybug costume was all red. she nugded adrien who apologised laughing.
'okay what's going on between you two?' she raised her eyes curiously.
'nothing?' marinette faked a laugh
'oh i can see it just by the way you look at eachother...' 
they blushed and adrien laced his hand with marinettes 'you gotta give me the details soon girl!' alya shouted 
***
alya and marinette walked the boys out of the room so that they could get ready. alya kissed her boyfriend on the lips directly and nino laughed and pulled her closer. marinette and adrien smiled at them and walked a little farther away. they already had their partners for the ball decided
 'so marinette...' adrien started. 'i hope no one has asked you for the ball already cause umm i would love to take you' 
marinette gaped at him. 
'if you want to that's it-' adrien added quickly
'you want me to be your date for the ball?' she laughed. ' i have imagined this so many times, adrien, it seems impossible.'
'its true.' he said.
'ill love to!' marinette said.

adrien and marinette stepped back to where they had left nino and alya. just before reaching them, adrien kissed marinette's cheek and slowly whispered in her ear, 'wear red. for me.'
marinette's skin blushed a pretty shade of red. 
'this color,' adrien said touching her red cheek, 'suits you the best. it compliments your fair, blushy skin and makes you even more attractive' he said sultrily. 
marinette's breathing hitched as adrien came closer to her. she closed her eyes, anticipating what is about to happen but it never did. adrien pulled away, leaving her needing, panting. he took her hand and kissed it. 'ill be waiting for you at the ball, milady.'
and with that he was gone...

'what just happened tikki.' whispered marinette, her heart beating frantically.
***
'have you decided any dress yet?' alya asked. she held a   gown in her arms. 
'im still looking,' replied marinette, 'go and put on your gown, ill find and put mine on and meet you soon. then let's have our hairs and makeup done together.' 
alya nodded and left marinette. 
marinette has been going through rows and rows of red ball gowns.
makes you even more attractive, adrien had said, and she wanted to please him tonight. she wanted to dress her best for him. 
after 10 minutes of going through, she picked out a red gown.  
'this would do!'

marinette quickly put her gown on and twirled several times in front of the large mirror to examine herself. she put her hands over the padded area and over her stomach. alya came in the room wearing her own gown.
'you look beautiful alya!' said marinette. 
'MARINETTE!!! YOU look beautiful my god.' she exclaimed. 'whoever said red isn't your color!'

marinette and alya, both satisifed with their dresses went for their hairs and makeup.
alya had chosen a simple, plain orange gown with more twisted undone hairs and bright makeup and dark lipstick. marinette decided on more simple hairstyle with loose curls and braids with her tiara atop her head. she chose red and golden makeup glow with lip gloss
marinette called out to her handsmaidens and servants and they began with their work. after foundations, primers, concealears, cremes, powders, they began to apply the makeup. they painted marinette's eye lids red with tints of golden and her cheeks glowed a natural blush shade. 
after their makeup were done, they instructed about their hairstlyes.
marinette ordered the servants to leave her hairs open in a few loose curls and bead one side of hairs and pinned them to the back. her handsmaiden brought her tiara and placed it over her forehead, which compeleted marinette's look.
alya had her hairs up in a lose bun with hairs coming out. beautiful pins were fixed in her hairs.
the servants once done, bowed and stood back smiling. they both got up to admire themselves in the mirror. 
'we look so pretty!' alya said happily and thanked the servants.
all marinette could think about was adrien's reaction upon seeing her.
i do look beautiful, marinette thought, this time it would be me who would leave HIM panting she smiled evilly at the thoiught.
