“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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZSx44J3nK

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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7L5cx3Yqr

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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZliUaHawji
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hpSz16YvD
“Oh hi it's nice to see you again too.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tprk054Mz
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIhdq85FIj
Cherry, being here, appeared right at my side to assess the stranger, “Who’s this?”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUcjOIpFDl
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHb2Iyu47V
“This is the woman who practically saved my night.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzkp0gq04f

“Oh your giving me too much credit.”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy6qSkvNiq
“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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXMTFQhT1h

“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?”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TzwWphdCS
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSliKbM2kc
“Cleo. It’s nice to officially meet you.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCI4OQ389q

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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApkpiVD2Wf
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VlLd9L2aT
“After how you’ve helped me, I see no reason why.”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Nao2D7KU
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.”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPVFY3FcDg
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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz1koKaVv2
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjckRkwlCYC
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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL1InOgp9k
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyH5xfLFGk
“Thanks and trust me you looked far from that.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZQWmXjdql

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?”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wkqk7pxhj
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrR4paZcBB
“I’m her friend's cousin. But she only brought me because the restaurant is catering here. How about you?”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2A0rFr0jU
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEEJTI3wV9
“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.281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVwwdEKan4

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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M18IFQ82Y
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCGIygjSv3
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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT72CR3fzpz

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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoWCvJUjgL
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qgVxPOids
“But i could-”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstQWsgZezv
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgDN8UzPJG
“She did ask you nicely now,” My head whipped in the direction of Faye’s voice as did Amelia.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEATjESz0e
“I can only guess you are the missing girlfriend.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsAPFYV6P9

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.”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGQjr3Xdxo
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-”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsqAG8azOP

“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.”281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbbXuBRJTd

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.”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDffkU6vpz
“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.”
