All Hallow's Eve

"This will be so much fun." Melina said as Lisa nodded, both watching me now for a reaction.

"What will be?" I asked, licking my lips that had suddenly gone dry.

"Helping you get ready silly. Makeup, nails, hair. We want to help."

I didn't know what to say, my head swimming from the revelation that these two beautiful, young women wanted to help me transform myself.

"I guess I could use some help since I don't do this very often." I said in my defense, not able to look directly at either one of the them directly.

"Really? From what Katie was saying, you practice quite often." Melina countered.

The hot blood that had been building in my face drained completely away and it must have been apparent to the pair as they watched me very closely for my reaction.

"It's alright." Lisa said supportively as she stepped even closer, placing my hand on her narrow waist. "We think it's great and your sister was very careful in confiding in us."

Melina nodded, also moving in closer now, the mixture of their perfume reaching my nose.She ran her fingers up through my hair as she continued probing my psyche.

"So it is true then? You like to get dressed up?" she asked.

My eyes darted back and forth between them but drifted away to my items lying in plain view on the bed, unable to do anything but simply nod an acknowledgment.

Lisa reached up and gently grabbed my chin, turning my face towards here where she continued to lock her eyes on mine. When I turned by gaze to meet hers she finally spoke.

"It's alright with us." She said, noting the tears welling up in my eyes. "Why wouldn't we be flattered?" she asked, turning to Melina who simply shrugged.

"You like feminine things and like to appear feminine. You're not doing it to mock women but rather emulate us? How could we not be flattered?"

Melina shrugged again, apparently wondering the same thing. I looked at each with a skeptic eye, wondering if they were yanking my chain.
