Right Hand

I absent-mindedly slip the ring onto the middle finger of my right hand as the five of us sit down at the table.

I crack open the menu as my friends order their drinks. What am I feeling tonight...

"And for you?" I look up at the waitress, a brunette girl with 'Sarah' written on the name badge above her sizable breasts.

"I'll have a strawberry margarita, thanks!" I smile at her as she writes my order down and leaves.

Turning back to the table, everyone but Riley has gotten into conversation already. But Riley has a knowing glint in their eye.

Across the table, Evan pulls out his phone. "Oh! Remember I told y'all about buying a bunch of random returns off Amazon? I got the packages today, but it's mostly makeup and stuff." He shows us pictures of a pretty wide selection of cosmetics spread out on his dining table. Bold color choices, too.

I laugh. "Top tier pull there! Did you try any of it for tonight?" Teasing my friends is fun, especially because they don't usually mind.

"Of course I did! Like I would ever go out without makeup." My eyes go wide as Evan changes in front of me. He's suddenly wearing lots of makeup. Glittery blue-green eyeshadow, blush, a swoop of eyeliner, and dark lipstick now adorn his face. Any blemishes or harsh lines are smoothed out and contoured.

Table chat continues as I sit shocked. Suddenly Evan, someone who as far as I knew had never touched makeup before, had a face like a drag queen. Nothing else has changed that I could see, he's still wearing the same casual clothes and talking with Luke about fishing. Nobody else notices anything, either. He wasn't wearing that a moment ago, I'm sure of it!

Unless he was...

I'm interrupted by Sarah coming by with our drinks. "Here you go, and are we ready to order or do you need a few minutes?"

I'd been so surprised I hadn't really looked at the menu yet. Apparently the others also were still deciding, so we order some appetizers and Sarah once again leaves us. I watch as she goes to check another table.

Riley leans over to whisper in my ear. "Checking out the waitress?" They laugh as I jump and blush. "Can't blame you, she's got a huge ass."

"Riley, stopppp..." I whine, smiling. "She is really pretty though." I take one last glance as Sarah heads towards the back. She really does have a nice ass.
