I nodded my understanding and I really did understand what she was saying. For all intense purposes that’s exactly what it was like with me and Adrianna, we were sister’s through and through and I suddenly realised what my sneaking out must have done to her.
I pulled my phone out from my pocket and realised that the battery had died before Kat pulled it from my grasp and bounded out of sight. I quickly caught up to her and found myself standing in their kitchen, with her plugging my phone into one of their chargers.
“I’m sure Lawson found the perfect way to insult you when he mentioned your clothes, but unfortunately he is not wrong. Don’t get me wrong, you are definitely killing the ripped jeans and leather jacket, but you would only get the wrong sorts of attention at Venom dressed like that. Unfortunately, the only way to not be noticed at Venom, is to dress as though you want to be, I know it must sound utterly confusing, but it’s just the way it works there, you need to look as though you belong.”
“What kind of place is he taking me too?”
“It’s a very exclusive club, members only kind of thing, you’ll be okay because you’ll be with Lawson. It’s so exclusive, if you are not a member, then you wouldn’t have heard of it.”
She took hold of my hand again and led me up the stairs, we entered into what I presumed was her room and she indicated for me to sit down on a plush sofa that she had in there.
I looked around at my surroundings, there was a queen size bed, situated on top of a platform, with a large television placed on the wall opposite. As well as the sofa, there was also a bean bag and a vanity mirror and one hell of a walk in wardrobe. I wanted to have a little browse but decided to stay where she left me instead. I could hear her moving around inside, but couldn’t see her for the life of me.
She appeared about ten minutes later, with a heap of clothes in her hands, which she ungraciously dumped onto her bed.
I stared over at her and she rummage through the items that she had brought out, while glancing over at me occasionally, before she made a little squeak and bounded over to me with what she had chosen.
“You don’t look like the type t
hat dresses sexy very often, so this is the only thing that I could find that you may feel a little comfortable in and still be appropriate for the venue tonight.”
I took the fabric from her hands and stumbled into her en suite, and slowly clicked the door shut behind me.
She shouted through the door to me, that I was welcome to take a bath and help myself to whatever she had in there.
I debated whether I should until I laid eyes upon her bath, it was a beautiful thing. It was set down into the floor and doubled up as a hot tub. And hey, just because I wouldn’t be able to feel the enjoyment myself, I still believed that my body would thank me for allowing it this one little treat. Anything to put off trying on, whatever Kat had deemed worthy of both me and this club, that sounded like it was on this side of sleazy.
I spent about half an hour in there before I eventually forced myself to get out so I could get dry and discover what this clothing actually looked like.
I held it up against me and slowly began to shrink into myself, I shook off my doubt over her choice and slowly pulled it down over me.
It was a deep red dress that was completely see through, luckily there were two pale pink slips. One that went just around my chest and another that started on my hips and finished mid-thigh. The top was fitted and was flush against my skin but once it hit my hips, it flowed down in a loose wave to my ankles. She had accompanied it with a pair of flat sandals, which had matching red ribbons that braided up around my legs and finished just under my knee.
I stared at my reflection in the body length mirror that was hung on the back of the door, before I made my exit to a gleeful look upon her face.
“Lawson is just going to die when he sees you, oh how I love to tease and prove that boy wrong.”
“I’m not entirely sure about this, it’s not me at all,” I stated wondering what she had meant about proving him wrong.
“That’s the whole point, look I’m not going to lie to you, this club that you’re going to is great fun but it can also get a little dangerous. There are, let’s say people, in there that you would not want to recognise you if you ran across them on the street. So, with that in mind, I was thinking maybe we should change the colour of your hair as well.”
“What the hell is wrong with my hair?” I demanded.
“Nothing, the colour is exceptional, but your hair will definitely make you stand out.”
I let out a deep sigh as she once again bounced off into the wardrobe and came back out with a pale blonde, ringlet curled wig.

I had no idea what was taking so long, I mean what were they even doing in there. My patience was growing thinner by the second when I heard Kat’s door open, and feet beginning to descend the stairs. I made myself stay in my chair but couldn’t hide the look of shock that must have crossed my face when I finally laid my sights on Unya.
She looked incredible, and a completely different person. I’ll admit that she was showing off more flesh then I would have liked, but it was still quite understated for the likes of Venom. The dress melded to her like a second skin and the blonde hair fell effortlessly around her face, her makeup was a subtle gold with barely a hint of black anywhere. I honestly could not believe that it was the same girl, although I did feel a stab of resentment towards Kat for replacing the ebony with blonde.
“Lawson put your tongue away, you’ll give her a complex,” Kat said while giving me a sly grin and a matching wink.
“You certainly look different,” I stated as I slowly circled around her, once I made it full circle, her hands found their place on her hips.
