Its been two days since I had called Barbados and left my number with my mother's brother daughter for her to have my grandparents called back but up until now I haven't heard from them. I'm wondering if she hadn't remembered to give them the message and my number or what?

Or maybe they weren't back from wherever they went as yet, I don't know but I was going to hang on for a little while longer.

Mom had undergo her percutaneous coronary intervention or angioplasty and was recovering find based on what she told me. I was really curious to know how exactly this procedure was done and mom told me that she was mildly sedated and something called a catheter was inserted through the unbroken skin of her arm and into

an artery and that's how they used it to open the narrow or blocked arteries that supplies the heart muscle with blood. Even though she made it sound less scary than an actual heart surgery, I still found it scary. In fact I find any medical procedure -which isn't limited to pills or medicine-scary. Mom's procedure took just 45 minutes to be completed, she told me that she is fine now and still taking her medications. She was advised to just rest for a couple days and not live lift anything heavy and after a couple days she is supposed to start exercising and follow the healthy lifestyle tips and within a couple weeks she'll be good as new. I am overjoyed to hear all of this and even though mom said that her Doctor told her that the narrowing may reoccur after years in some patients, I was still glad to know that she now has a chance to a healthy life. I haven't told her about the call I made to her family in Barbados or her niece as yet, I was waiting until she is recovered and I am able to get in touch with them properly before dropping the surprise on her.

Today was Saturday and the day of the business event that Lucas wants me to accompany him to. I was extremely nervous about this whole thing; I mean I was going to be surrounding by rich people. People who don't have a clue about being in my shoes and who would definitely judge me if they know the truth about me and my past, I was really scared of having to go associate with snobs. Lucas had gave me his card to buy the beat gown, shoes and purses I could find, probably wanted me to look like them and fit in but I would never fit in with those people. I don't think I'm going to be needed to socialized or talk to any of them and I'm sure it'll only be a a couple hours anyway not forever, maybe I will be able to cope with them.

Lucas still wasn't back yet from wherever he has gone for the past couple days but Greta had informed me that he said he would be picking me up at exactly 6:30pm so I should be ready and out front by that time.

I was really nervous about tonight, I just feel like if someone there figure out what I used to do, the entire crowd of people is going to start judging me right there and then making me feel small. All this nervousness has caused me to ate a lot until I was so full I just may become sick tonight. I had my fair share of garlic chicken salad, black cherry ice cream, a bowl of ramen noodles, a large glass of pineapple juice, a bag of chips and some left over fried rice I had in the fridge from last night.

I was cut off from eating anything else by Greta who came to informed me that a Missy Costello was here to help me get ready. Help me get ready!? Like what the hell? Lucas doesn't even trust me to get ready by myself, doesn't he think I was capable of doing that on my own.

"Hello, you must be Amy. I'm Missy I'm here to help you get ready for the event tonight" a middle age redhead lady with an accent said as she stretched out her hand for me to shake.

"Yes I am" I said shaking her hand. "Not to sound rude or anything but I think I can get ready by myself"

"That's what they all say" she lady laugh shaking her head.

"Huh?" I said confused.

"Never mind dear" she wave me off. Mr.Ackles hired me to do your hair and makeup and he isn't going to be please if I don't do my job. So first things first, have you showered already?"

"Uh, no" I responded.

"Well dont just stand there, go ahead and do that and then come back let me work my magic" The lady said to me.

Seriously? I wasn't that bad that I needed someone to help me get ready to look good? I was capable of doing my own hair and makeup and I think I was pretty decent at it, did Lucas really need to hire a professional to do it for me? After getting out of the shower and drying myself with the towel and went back to my room and put on deodorant and the underwear I'd be wearing under the dress, because it is a strapless dress I settled for a strapless bra and panty set, then wrapped myself in a dark bathrobe.

After I was done I went back out only to fund a new addition to the company, a younger Asian girl.

"Hi, sorry I'm late. I'm Miné Liu. I'm a nail Technician" she said as she greeted me.

"Hi...nice to meet" I smiled at her. "But a nail tech? Is that really necessary? I mean I take of my hands and feet and nails, I think they're already perfect"

"Yeah, I believe you bit its part of the package that Mr.Ackles paid for so, we just have to do our job" the first last informed.

"He practically paid for an entire make over" I frowned as I look at a surprised Greta. "Okay, then. I guess we should go start this....make over thing"

We were using the bathroom as a makeshift salon. Missy had applied some sort of black tea facial mask on my face while she did whatever magic she was doing with my hair. Miné was doing 'God knows what' with my nails since my eyes were covered and I couldn't see anything that was going on. She had asked me about the color of my dress and shoes earlier so I'm thinking it is something near to those. After Missy was finished washing my hair and entire head- including the facial mask from my face, she had blow dried it and starting curling it. I finally got a chance to look at my nails now which were being done in some chrome style I had never seen in real life before more over worn. They were in a redish shade color almost close to my dress's color, to the honest I was never a fan of false nails but I had to admit these did look good. Miné sure knew how to work her hands fast because pretty soon she was working on my feet. Missy finished curling my hair the I felt her twisting some up and pinning it with hairpins. I can't tell anyone how much I hate those things in my head, they tend to get uncomfortable and a bit itchy after a while. When She was finished with my hair she then washed her hands and proceeded to start on doing my makeup. Though my face was already clean, Missy wiped it with an antibacterial facial wipes, then she proceeded to rub some cream on my face and then putting a primer first before she applied the foundation, then concealer to the area under my eyes, down the bridge of my nose, the center of my forehead between my eyes and about my lip at the philtrum. After which she used a beauty blender sponge to blend that out, the. She added a transparent setting powder over those area and left it on while she worked out to fill out my eyebrows in a perfect arch. She then worked on my eyelids, I wasn't sure what colors she was doing on them. After which she drew a winged eyeliner add some mascara to my lashes before proceeding to add some fake lashes. I had started protesting by then, telling her that I didn't want to wear some fake lashes and look like those fake Barbie or something, but she ended up persuading me that my face is going to look sort of empty with the longer lashes due to the type of makeup she was doing. She assured me that the lashes she was adding were the natural looking types, although that didn't relax me much, after she was done with my eyes she proceeded to do some contour on my face and after she was finished she brushed off any excess powder, sprayed the setting spray over my face then added some highlight to my cheeekbone. I really didn't have much say in what was done to my face except for the lipstick color- I had chose a form of nude matte lipstick.

After my hair, makeup and nails were finished, I had only a few minutes to get dress and meet Lucas. And just like the ladies had said, would you believe they actually helped me put on my dress and shoes? The only thing I did completely on my own was put my earrings on.

Not even putting my own perfume I didn't do on my own.

When I was completely ready, I did a double take on my appearance in the full length mirror. I didn't want to seem vain, or conceited or anything but damn I looked good. If this outfit and makeover didn't let me fit in with the other up scale people, then nothing would. I was busy admiring my reflection in the mirror, I didn't even heard the slight knocked as Greta peeped her head in.

"Wow, honey you look great. Absolutely stunning and beautiful" Greta gushed.

"You really think so? Thank you" I smiled at her.

"You really do. Lucas is going to be very please" Greta smiled. "Speaking of which, are you ready now? Your drive is here"

"Oh, yeah I'm ready. I guess I better hurry before Lucas gets impatient and upset with me for being late" I said as grabbed the clutch purse and hurrying out.

"Be careful dear" Greta said to me as she followed me out "I'll see you tomorrow, have fun"

"Thanks Greta, tomorrow" I smiled at her as u hurried out.

The minute I was outside I was ushered inside the back seat of the car where I found Lucas seated. When I came outside and was greeted by the chauffeur, I had thought he didn't bother to show up and instead just sent someone to fetch me abs bring me to the event but I was surprised to see him being seated in here and well dressed in his suit.

"Hi" I said biting my lip nervously as Lucas looked me over with an expression I couldn't read well.

"Hello, Amy" Lucas responded as he lift his eyes to my face "You look..."

Oh no, how did I look? Cheap? Underdressed, too overdressed? What? My mind kept racing.

"...stunning" Lucas finished causing me to be surprised at his compliment "I see Missy and Miné did an awesome job"

Okay...

"Uh, thank you" I said to him. I was unsure if I should return a compliment to him so instead I just didn't. "Is my attire suitable? I tried to be a bit modest yet ..."

"Yes Amy. I approved of the outfit, though you could have chose something that was a bit more concealing" Lucas said looking at my exposed thigh.

"Oh" I said trying to pull the material of my dress to cover up my right leg and thigh. "Sorry, I didn't think about that"

"That's alright. I got you something to wear with your outfit' Lucas said to me as he dug into his pocket.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

Not sure if I had heard him correct.

"Here, this is yours" Lucas said handing me a small black box. "I figured you hadn't bought any accessories to go with your dress"

"What's this?" I asked pulling the lid off the box unsurely. "Uh...wow"
