"redith," Gwen called out in a sing-song tone.
"Yes mother, I'm in here." redith answered from her dressing table. Gwen walked in to her struggling to set her hair.
"Oh co sweetheart, let
help you with that," She said to her, walking up to where she sat and taking her comb and ribbon. redith watched her in the mirror while she went about her business on her hair.
"You know, your dad also asked
out on a date," Gwen said joyfully.
"I know, you ntioned it while you were sending
off, rember?" redith replied with a question. And then she replied.
"Oh honey, at that mont, he did not tell
anything. I simply wanted to spend more ti with him," She tilted towards redith's ear as she spoke, "Alone." She straightened back up with a broad smile on her features. redith giggled as she observed her in the mirror.
"Alright, all done. Tell
what you think, honey. And be truthful, you don't have to make
feel good." Gwen placed her hands on her shoulders and watched her in the mirror.
"It's beautiful mother," redith let her hand glide over the smooth surface of her perfect bun as she complinted her handwork. "You know," She turned to face her, while she continued.
"I find it cute that you and dad can still have such sweet monts together." She turned back to the mirror, her gaze falling while she spoke. "I really hope nothing goes wrong between Atlas
and I."
"Oh honey," Gwen wrapped her arms around her shoulders from behind as she addressed her. "I see the way the young man looks at you, he wishes nothing but happiness and joy and love for you. Take it from soone who knows what all of those look like in a man's eyes." They both laughed at the subtle reference.
"And from what I've seen so far, he is very capable of giving you all of that. So, my sweet munchkin, you have nothing to worry about when it cos to that. It is clear that you both love each other, and that's the end of it. Everything else cos easy." Gwen explained thoughtfully. "Co here," she added as she pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you, mother," redith replied, fondling her arm thoughtfully.
"Now, if you will quit worrying about the future, we can go and figure out what we will wear to impress our boys downstairs." Gwen said as she let go of her, turning towards her door. "What do you think about matching outfits?" She asked finally.
"Agreed, but I'll pick out the dress." redith replied speedily. Gwen rose her hands above her head, signifying her defeat. "I'll give you the satisfaction of today," She whispered with a smile, and then she walked out of the room.
"Oh wait," She said as she popped her head back in, and then her entire body. "Since you're picking out the outfit, I have to see what you're wearing. Is that not?" She asked with a cunning smile. redith beheld her with a teasing look of skepticism, and then she gave in.
"Fine, mother. Go through my closet. I hope you find sothing that you like." Gwen was already brushing through her outfits on the hangers, and then her gaze locked with what looked like red silk. She gasped loudly, trailing back up to the hanger that held it, and then she pulled it to redith's line of sight.
"You have eyes for the best, mother." redith said with a giggle. She took the hanger from her and began to wear the dress.
"Alright, I'll take out one just like this, I hope I have it. This is too beautiful," Gwen stated gleefully and then she ran out of the room. redith shook her head as a laugh erupted from her depths.
"What are you ladies up to?" Lucious' voice bood through the house.
"Nothing daddy," redith replied, letting out a mischievous laugh.
*****
Atlas sprung up from his seat when he beheld redith gracefully walking down the stairs in her pristine aura. Her dress revealed her shoulders, with a deep cut that gave ample view of her bosom, the material cinched her waist perfectly, revealing her rich curves, and gliding down in a very flowy rmaid cut.
"You've got eyes, young man. I give you that," Lucious teased as he nudged him towards her. He complied, closing what was left of the distance between himself and redith.
"You're absolutely breathtaking, my love," Atlas whispered his appreciation, taking both of her hands in his and kissing each knuckle with gentle touches of his lips.
"I really hope Gwen's wearing sothing similar," Lucious smiled, leaning into the wall behind him.
"You have your answer, Lucious." Her voice ca from the top of the stairs. For the longest mont, he stared, absolutely stunned with what he beheld. Gwen donned the sa dress as redith, except her form had more depth due to age's influence.
"Oh Gwen, I made the best choice in taking you as my very own." Lucious whispered the words as he went on one knee and took her hand in his, placing a wet kiss on her knuckle. redith and Marcus giggled as they watched them.
"Baby girl, you look so stunning in that dress," Gwen turned to redith as she spoke. "I can't imagine how much you've grown. Now, I have a clear view of just how much." A tear slipped down her cheeks as she addressed her.
"I ca from you, mother, that much is clear. What do you expect?" redith replied as she walked into her mother's arms.
"Are you sure you want to still keep your old face? I can remove Austin's spell."
redith shook her head, "I'm fine with this. I grew up with this and my little brother knows this face. I don't want to scare him once he cos back from school. I'm still his big sister no matter what."
Gwen nodded in understanding, "Alright."
After what seed like an eternity, Lucious pushed his hand between the ladies as he spoke, "Alright, okay, you've had enough of your mother.Atlas, co, take your woman," redith giggled as she walked into her lover's arms. "Never worry, I will co to you willingly." She whispered as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Take
away, Atlas," She said dramatically, causing the entire group to burst into laughter.
