“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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjK8ja6Qej

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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIXGjnQhyf

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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaDVClU2u0
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMl2Yhc9VG
“Oh hi it's nice to see you again too.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG1cU8XEwg
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW0sfGeUC3
Cherry, being here, appeared right at my side to assess the stranger, “Who’s this?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS4BKMuTew
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLuv8ab7Hp
“This is the woman who practically saved my night.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq4OJtURGn

“Oh your giving me too much credit.”
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9iLSFiua8
“I’m only giving credit where it's due. And please give me your name. I feel horrible for not knowing it in the first place.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZfyYXQ2x0

“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?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSlyWGBYXE
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKnBZuxc9Y
“Cleo. It’s nice to officially meet you.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOq9B4m71o

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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZzSxRqeK6
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0hJ9aIwPQ
“After how you’ve helped me, I see no reason why.”
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrIetV2oUm
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.”
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bYZwbCJvy
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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNk4dRk9OP
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVzcTaIkXG
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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaRBhLQ0VY
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu0eepF9VQ

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?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH0or4oAP3
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybr5erkhWK
“I’m her friend's cousin. But she only brought me because the restaurant is catering here. How about you?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRlVe3EHSY
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONunZ5EMEx
“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.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBbtWsIGQf

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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrTngqMEc7
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4wnquSpzu
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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dtxXUpLFz

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.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY4lVaXGsP
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qXkOT7GK3
“But i could-”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96r7qA6gj8
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YPcj3QIuG
“She did ask you nicely now,” My head whipped in the direction of Faye’s voice as did Amelia.
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu3qV44DFk
“I can only guess you are the missing girlfriend.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOalX6jxJg

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.”
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6HzjMuUeK
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-”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlmkgoD9dD

“I know you weren’t. …I am so sorry that I've been neglectful. It was never something I purposely did if you could believe that.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7HNzcRZZR

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.”
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQKlhGqszD
“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.”
