Perfect Twist

EPISODE4

”You know my mum has now elevated to bragging about her husband to me these days, making me feel jealous like I am not their child, can you believe that?” Selina asked, turning to face Jenice in disbelief.

“What?” Jenice asked, laughing with one hand on her stomach

“She talks about how he would fix her breakfast instead of me and how he would help ease her pain with a massage, unlike me that had no one” Selina added, shaking her head at the thought.

”Oh my god that is so hilarious and cute” Jenise said wiping the tears off her eyes from laughing too much.

“Did you just call it cute? Hell no! it’s not” Selina said, looking at Jenise weirdly.

“I wish my mum had your mum’s sense of humor. Rather than brag about her husband, she never fails to remind me of all the things they achieved together as people of power, and how Luke had nothing to offer me in life.” Jenise said, going back to her mood as the laughter already weared off.

“We all have it tough don’t we? that’s why I really need to eat right now and lay my head for a bit, you don't give a f**k with that don’t you?” Selina asked with her threat filled eyes as she looked at Jenice, before taking out her already dished meal, and moving towards the dining table.

“I got you queen, anything you say tonight” Jenice replied, taking the juice in her hand and following Selina to the table.

“I wish you were this nice everyday you know, life would be so good.” Selina said again, looking at Jenice, with her side eye.

“Don’t push it girl” Jenice said pointing her fingers. She was not having that campaign about being nice everyday as she sought to maintain that position of being an absolute brat.

Jefferson opened his closet of suits and brought out the most expensive and amazing one, in his act of being super obnoxious, he was going to be the stinking rich and annoying one.

He began to hum a song to himself, dancing to it as he moved towards the mirror to check out his outfit.

“What do you think? He asked, placing the suit on his body and looking into the mirror

“It looks amazing boss, as always” Lee replied, giving a thumbs up to its perfection

“All that’s left is my watch, a few sprays from my favorite cologne and everything else is perfect” he said, making his evil laugh before proceeding to dance while humming some more.

“I think you’ll make her fall for you instead, if you go in there looking like this.” Lee said, classifying the outfit as a little too much.

“Yes Lee, that’s the point. I’m going to look all sexy and peng till I open my mouth. The plan is to make her super disappointed by the way I speak, and how condescending I will be towards everything she does. This will ruin my chances of ever seeing her again, it is the perfect plan.” Jefferson said, exalting his intentions to Lee.

“I guess you have it all under control sir, there’s nothing to worry about” Lee said, smiling at Jefferson as he made his way to the bathroom to have his bath.

“I hope so” Jefferson replied, shaking his head and dismissing Lee from his room.

“You look stunning Selina“ Denice said as Selina made her way out of the room.

“Is that the point though? I’m supposed to scare him away not make him fall in love” Selina said, sincerely worried about the way Jenice made her look

“You are impersonating me silly, you have to look half as good at least” Jenice replied rolling her eyes and laughing

“Excuse me, I’m hot in my own way Jenise” Selina said, clapping back at her friend in an attempt to defend herself.

“Yeah sure, good for you,” Jenice replied, ignoring her immediately.

“His name is Jefferson and he is thirty years old. He may not look his age but don’t be fooled” she added, adjusting the hair that fell across Selina’s face.

“Hmm thirty, the perfect age gap for me.” Selina said teasingly, making Jenice roll her eyes in disgust.

“One more thing, he is rumored to be very very obnoxious and rude, so it would be best to serve out the same energy he gives you tonight, that would only make things come to an end more quickly.” Jenice said, thinking of anything else that was important.

“Roger that, how do I look?” Selina asked, striking a pose.

“As good as me, but on a Wednesday” Jenice replied, resulting in a tap at the back of her head by Selina.

Selina left the house immediately and drove Jenice’s car to the venue.

She was a little uncomfortable with the outfit she had on but moved on with it anyways and made her way into the building

“How may I help you ma’am” the waiter asked, as he approached her

“I’m Jenice Johnson, and there’s a reservation for me at one of your tables.” Selina said, sounding very eloquent, even more than jenice herself.

“Oh yes you are to have dinner with Jefferson Michael by Ten, come this way we have been expecting you” he said, leading her towards her table and helping her settle down.

“Mr Jefferson already called that he would be running late, would you like anything to drink before he arrives?” He said again, being so polite to her.

“Yeah I’ll get wine please” Selina replied without giving it a second thought.

“Alright ma’am, what kind of wine?” He asked again

“Surprise me David” she said, looking at his name tag

”Alright ma’am, I’ll get to it right away” one last time before leaving her table.

Thank you” she said, as she watched him leave, before taking out her phone and texting Jenice

“I think this would be the easiest one yet, he called to say that he would be running late, can you imagine that?” She texted with a boiling hot emoji face.

“How rude,” Jenice replied immediately, sending the exact same emoji back.

“So I’m just supposed to wait here for him?“ Selina asked. She was pissed already about her evening getting ruined and now he was going to be running late, leaving her there to wait like a child.

“You know the answer to that already Selina, let’s just see it through to the end alright? If you leave now my mum would schedule another meeting without even thinking twice about it”

“We can’t let that happen now can we?” Both girls were stressed about the whole situation, but it was almost coming to an end so she knew better than to leave.

“Just stay calm and order anything you want while waiting for him to come.” Jenice said again, feeling a little scared that Selina would get impatient and leave.

“Alright,I’ll stay and be patient, but there’s a limit to that and I won’t do more than necessary,” Selina said, being very sincere.

“Text me when he arrives ok, Luke just got here so I won’t be able to talk for a while” Jenice said again, sounding a little shy as she said those last words.

”Oh what the hell, b***h get out my phone” Selina said one more time before cutting the call

“Great, now I get to sit here like a brainless zombie and wait for the prince to arrive. He better not get on my nerves tonight.” She said to herself, folding her hands into a fist.
