We grabbed some sandwiches from a deli and before I knew it, I already had my make-up completely done and Breanna was holding different outfits up to my body. She settled on a faded, torn denim mini skirt that looked like it would barely cover my butt, and a black spaghetti strap.
“Okay put these on, and no peeking yet!”
“Is there something else to go over this undershirt?”
“Undershirt? No, that is the shirt!” She looked at me like I was crazy before walking into the bathroom.
Thankfully, the spaghetti strap was pretty long allowing me to pull the skirt down enough so I didn't think my butt was showing, but I'm pretty sure I'd never been this exposed outside of my bathroom in my life. If she was a couple inches taller, how on earth did she even wear this thing?
“Ooo MUCH better!”
“Are you sure? I feel like I'm naked.” I was still trying to tug the skirt down.
“Hah! No, you look hot, I promise.” She spun me around until I was facing a mirror.
“Oh, crap.” Sir would kill me, but I had to admit I think I liked it. Just as I thought, the skirt barely covered a thing, and it was impossible not to have cleavage in this shirt. I guess I had a nice chest, but when almost every top you own is from the Post Exchanges on base, there isn't ever an opportunity to see anything. I turned to look at my backside and smiled a little bit before facing forward again. “Oh my God, look at my eyes!”
“I know, don't you love them?”
“You're a genius Breanna.” I looked at my smoky lids, and even thicker eyelashes making my eyes look like dark thunderstorm clouds.
“Well it's pretty easy when the model has your face and body. Mind if I steal your lips and eyes for the night?”
I laughed but was still mesmerized by my new reflection. “I can honestly say I've never worn anything like this, and this is my first time ever having make-up on.”
“Are you serious?” She looked appalled.
“My dad is a career Marine. I've never even touched make-up. Hell, I haven't even been to a mall.” I giggled when her face dropped to one of horror.
“I guess this means you won't be opposed to me taking you shopping tomorrow then?”
“If you can make me look this good for a simple party, I'd let you pick out all my outfits.”
She squealed and clapped, turning to grab her clutch. “Yay! Okay, let's go snag a couple guys.”
I stopped walking, eyes wide. I don't know how to talk to a normal guy, let alone snag one. “Uh, I'm not exactly great with the opposite sex. Like, I've never had a boyfriend or anything.”
“Whoa, what?!”
“What part of Marine for a father didn't you understand? I don't think I've ever even talked to a guy that wasn’t a Marine.”
“Okay, timeout. Are you being serious? Have you ever been kissed?” She gasped when my lips pressed into a hard line. “Oh honey, I promise to fix at least that by the end of tonight.”
My cheeks flamed as I quickly followed her out to her shiny graduation present of a car.

“HEY BREE!”
“Hi Drew.” Breanna hugged an already intoxicated looking guy that opened the door. “Drew this is my new roomie Harper, Harper this is Drew.”
“Nice to meet you.” I mumbled. Before I knew what was happening I was being lifted up in a bear hug. I gasped but refrained the urge to kick him.
“Always a pleasure to have fresh meat here.” He said with a wink before putting me down.
“Easy tiger, she's off limits to you!” She mock glared and poked him in the chest.
“Aww, come on Bree, don't be a cock block.”
Raising an eyebrow I almost smiled at him. He wasn't even attractive and was holding a blow up doll.
“Nu-uh, no one that lives in this house is allowed to touch her. I know how you all are. So play nice, kay?”
Drew grumbled and walked away to refill his plastic cup. Breanna leaned in to speak in my ear, “I'm not gonna lie and tell you they aren't all like that, practically every guy that lives in this house is just as bad as him, and most of the guys that will be here tonight are too. I'll tell you who's safe and who isn't.”
I smiled at her, “Thanks Bree, I'll owe you.” Not that I needed her to tell me to stay away from guys like him. Sir let me around the Marines not only because they were like the brothers I never had, but he knew I would never end up falling for someone who would talk like that in front of a girl.
She scrunched her brows together and teased me, “Duh. Want a drink?”
