“The girl we met literally just bragged about her ‘daddy’ getting her a helicopter. I mean, for what reason does this fifteen year old need that.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCfRniLuEA

Lisa soothed Cherry’s shoulder as we all watched the same girl most likely telling the same story to another group of people, “Honey, I can't help that they’ve never been told no. If their parents can afford to spoil them it’s their problem when they have a horrible reality check when someone does tell them no.”

“And not every rich kid is raised to act that way. The girl who I was talking to over food was the sweetest person. And I only found out from Lisa that she’s the governor's daughter.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5eMlD8f7n

I felt gentle taps on my back and my eyes widened thinking it was Faye. I had purposely positioned myself so I'd be looking at the door waiting for her to come in. Had she sneaked in? There's no way I've been a literal hawk. I was a bundle of nerves when I looked back but it wasn’t her, rather it was the waitress from last night, “Nice to see you again stranger.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm8IuPsiDo
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoghybtewQZ
“Oh hi it's nice to see you again too.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAA0YEIDXA
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqIUfa5DiI
Cherry, being here, appeared right at my side to assess the stranger, “Who’s this?”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0BELSlY9s

“This is the woman who practically saved my night.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwFEwbr7z

“Oh your giving me too much credit.”
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoiVRvC7vX

“I could say the same about you. Dale hasn’t gotten off my back since I went out of my way for a gorgeous lady. And the names Amelia and you?”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy0DNOvosu
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpKyC160LJ
“Cleo. It’s nice to officially meet you.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KtLYTeHx6

I held my hand out and I felt a sting of electricity as she took it shaking it, “Likewise. And I Hate to spring this on you but there's this girl my parents desperately want me to marry even though I really don’t like them. And she’s coming over here to probably ask me to dance for the fifth time tonight so would you do me another favor and sneak out with me. Just to a balcony or something just so she gets the picture.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMBDkR2vf
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dRvKz1Qdy
“After how you’ve helped me, I see no reason why.”
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymJu0mkxzV
I kicked Cherry when Amelia looked away for a minute as she’d been pinching my side all throughout the conversation. I had no idea why and really didn’t care, “Alright let’s go. I think that one just opened up.”
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMktvX3Sang
I followed behind her and was met with a nice view of the garden I saw coming inside the huge mansion. It was really a nice sight to see. I was about to say just that but paused seeing as the other woman was already looking at me, “You look very beautiful tonight.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd5XviNG0R
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSaCIrQWwL
I took the compliment in stride and thought nothing of it like when I compliment Cherry, “Thank you and I promise I don't always look like a drunken mess. And you clean up very nicely as well.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlAWqsmsi3
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx3VFwF9Vk

I had this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach as she smiled at me. It wasn’t the same kind I got from Faye and of course it wouldn’t be but it felt like guilt, “Um… So, how do you know Alexandra?”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwmrj3aR5Z
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlWktyKOxu
“I’m her friend's cousin. But she only brought me because the restaurant is catering here. How about you?”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Ip0LRKv2
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyktTdG02nI
“I was invited by my friend's girlfriend,” It went silent and I could see the wheels turning in her head. I was only thinking of this as an opportunity to get back at Faye. What if she had taken to Aella? But would that even make sense? She was at home and it takes about an hour to get here. Maybe she hadn’t done something but then again I wouldn't know.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEOFRUNIUU

Through my never ending thought process Amelia took her chance getting right in front of me about to lean in, that is until I gently pushed her away, “No- I’m sorry but I'm still in a relationship.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy0E4qtk6c
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3yFUjCStk
She scoffed and granted she didn’t try that again but she didn’t let down, “With someone who doesn’t pay attention to you? When she took the job that doesn’t mean her availability for you should just still.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrOHkb8xEX

I rubbed my head wondering if I had taken some tylenol since my headaches have become more frequent. I guess drama doesn’t suit me, “You may be right but I'm still just not like that. Nor will I ever be because I love Faye. Please understand.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sm7iqDxQu

“But i could-”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tD7TDzMF8

“She did ask you nicely now,” My head whipped in the direction of Faye’s voice as did Amelia.

“I can only guess you are the missing girlfriend.”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y6GWxTH7K

Faye had that spine-chilling look, one that has never been pointed out to me, “And i can guess- actually i know that you will be leaving now. And take your hands off her.”
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5YsU1stnk
I stepped away from Amelia once more, having not noticed she had her hand connected on top of my forearm. I gave my best apologetic facade and she left thankfully peacefully. Unless you count the death glare she gave Faye on her way out. When Faye looked back in my direction I could hear the forming question based solely on how it looked, “I wasn’t going to-”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHtjVDkJSO

She seemed at a loss for words. She sighed as I took a step forward to where I was flushed up against her, “I always love it when you wear green it always compliments your eyes.”
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ649lFAxwLb
“Everything you wear compliments you and thank you,” On the verge of speaking again she was cut off by a group of probably five men appearing in the doorway. The first who came apologized and two in the back whistled. That irked me but I gave it the benefit of the doubt, “Why don’t we go to the garden? I don't think we’ll be interrupted there.”
