“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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI51tX4qqo0

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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXIWdeksK3

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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ILmJY3Wh
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAOuGkUgmt
“Oh hi it's nice to see you again too.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGEshdkvpo

Cherry, being here, appeared right at my side to assess the stranger, “Who’s this?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgcFUdXHOs
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1uylc2CL5
“This is the woman who practically saved my night.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgEO92bZfx

“Oh your giving me too much credit.”

“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?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36hwbtw2x7
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd7ZHXofPf
“Cleo. It’s nice to officially meet you.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH2k76OQ9s

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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMbv7WXAOu
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmbkoQN5pA
“After how you’ve helped me, I see no reason why.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr7qEWhMpP
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.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIEd90MdER
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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfITKe9AIeI
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEASRPlEY0
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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFbB378qNF
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm3lV1m1Nf

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?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgblf2PfsMY
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0brEwENbmc
“I’m her friend's cousin. But she only brought me because the restaurant is catering here. How about you?”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlTaSDGifB
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJcjZY24a7
“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.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oMQJDT2In

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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJZRDIqh3t
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8XadFgZ7B
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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWpBAkj945

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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuv0NNZutf

“But i could-”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizKwirttVD

“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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKxqolsort

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.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny1WMcKxSw
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-”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEALP3lQmJh

“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.”161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQH4QEsIZ1

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.”
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jP189UO6j
“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.”
