Novel & Cerita Nimh Blush Blush

Hillary I watch in the mirror as my eyelashes stand out, long and black, all brushed out. There’s a little blush on my heavy cheekbones—ones I have been accused of getting fillers in—and my plump lips are coated in pink gloss. My eyebrows are brushed out and neat as well. I don’t think I need to do anything more; I look great already. My hair is combed too, falling down my shoulders, all shiny and brown. I’m wearing a pink lounge set with a burgundy hoodie to chase the cold. I look down at my phone, back at the open chat—Bentley’s chat.

“Nervous, maybe. But I’m not—well, I mean—this isn’t like…” “Not like a date with Darian? Yeah, we know,” Daisy says flatly, gesturing wildly at the camera. “You’re glowing. The world is glowing through you. But let’s make sure everyone else notices tonight too, yeah?” I bite back a laugh. “Fine, fine. Step one: eyes. Step two: cheeks. Step three…” My hands fumble with the little container of blush Daisy handed me, her instructions echoing through the speaker. “Step three: what exactly?”

I felt a flutter of excitement and nervousness in my chest. Was this too much? I leaned in closer to the mirror to inspect my makeup—soft, light pink blush on my cheeks, giving me a natural glow, and a darker shade on my lips that made them look full and inviting. My eyes were lined just enough to draw attention without being overdone, and my lashes were long and fluttery, adding a hint of mystery. My hair, styled in loose, glossy waves, cascaded down my back, catching the light as I tilted my head.

“Even if it’s messy.” I didn’t answer, all I could think about was a canvas. Dark blues. Muted reds. A girl curled into herself like she was trying not to exist too loudly. All messy but true. I exhaled slowly, eyes fixed ahead as the lecture hall doors came into view. “…We’re going to be late,” I said.

Face flushing at the very thought, she set down her tea. “You know,” Blue slouched in her chair as the man leaned forwards. Elbows bracing the sides of his plate and suit so close to falling in his soup dinner, the girl found her upper lip curling in every discouragement she could manage. Yet smiled sweetly. “If you want me to put a good word in for you over at Harvard, I’m more than happy to,”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CARTER'S POV The church door opened as the music started. I looked at the entrance and was amazed by what I saw. Her makeup looked flawless and elegant accentuating her beauty. Her eyes are lined with black eyeliners and her long lashes kiss each other as she blinked them. Her lips are painted with soft pink gloss, adding a touch of feminity to her look. The subtle highlight in her cheekbones made her face glow under the rays of the sun.

Nora asked trying to lighten the situation,she watched as Mae's face reddened from blushing, "Oh shut up,what are you talking about!" Mae said blushing harder than before,she turned her face away from Nora so she wouldn't get teased about it. "Ouuuuuuuh she's blushing so hard,damn girl your neck is all red" Nora said covering her mouth to hide the laughter that was about to escape,she didn't believe she'd ever see Mae blush this hard over a boy,well technically a man, "Aww this is cute"

Thank you for the information, life changing. I just shook my head when it was sent. I wanted to go back to bed but Nina e might be waiting for me so I started getting ready. Alas, we talked first so I had plenty of time to soak in the shower. I even put concealer on my arm burns and made sure my hair was in an updo bun. I applied a darker shade of make up to cover my soft features a little. Good enough, my cheekbones are more highlighted because of the nude blush, and my eyes are more defined by the orange color.

I merrily told her the whole truth, and I saw her cheeks suddenly flushed. Oh, my gosh! Nope, she hasn't applied blush on powders ever since. But now, she's undoubtedly blushing. She can hear me! That's for sure! Wow! This is epic! I am such a genius! She kept on pretending that she couldn't notice me, and I grinned as I just had an idea that popped up in my head—a brilliant one. I am going to annoy her until death. Let's see if she can stand it.

she murmured, I heard it this time. "Why? Do you like him?" I asked, surprised. I approached where she was. "You know, I'm friend with him. I can help you get close to him if you want," I suggested. "Of course not," she refused while still shaking her head. She handed me the new glass with water. When I got up we went back to the couch and sat down again. I took my medications first before speaking again. "Why do you seem to be affected? There are only a few things that can make a person blush. First, if you have a fever. Second, if you are angry. And third, if you’re shy," I explained.
