The Night I Fekt Like a Queen

The One Night I Felt Like a Queen
The smell of burned hair filled the room as the last of my long black hair was being
curled. A horse tail being brushed against my face, as my mom applied a hint of blush to
my high cheek bones; and to make my eyes stand out and appear to be auburn stand out
more than usual she applied deep black eyeliner. I then stood to put on my beautiful silky
smooth teal dress. I could feel the roughness from the tutu underneath scratching
against my shaved legs as the blood empty my stomach giving me butterflies in my
tummy, I was already getting nervous. As my mom zipped my dress I could feel a bunch of
imaginary bugs crawling along my skin, I jerked to shake off the feeling. Sitting down and
lifting my dress to put on my shoes. I stood once again; I took a walk around master
bedroom reassuring myself that I wouldn't embarrass myself tonight.
"How do they feel?" my mom asked
I replied quickly with a slight smirk, "Good!"
She then asked, "Are you ready?"
"Yes" I responded. As I began to walk towards my own personal red carpet, I took a
deep breath "Okay Ke'Shanee, you can do this, don’t be nervous, well try not to show it at
least." I thought to myself. About half way down the stair I could feel my legs begin to
shake from my nervousness. There he came from around the corner wearing a grey tie
and suit with thin teal stripes going vertically down his jacket and pants with a teal shirt,
and shoes that matched my dress exactly. His pearly whites showed as a smile came across
his face, holding a bouquet flowers and a custom made floral in a clear container.
"..Wow..." He murmured." Clearing his throat "Wow you love, you look beyond gorgeous"

"Thank you, you don’t look too bad yourself." Meeting him at the bottom of the
stairs, my mom stood beside me, as I greeting him with a hug and a kiss.
