janette's pov:
Emily kept piling clothes on me, coercing me to try them on.
"just one" I grumbled picking a black dress up. I walked into the changing room trying the dress on, looking at myself in the mirror, it fits perfectly, the waistline thin, designed to snatch the waist of whoever wears it, strapless and transparent from the thighs downward. it hung to my chest tightly making my skin look pale, I reached for the zipper but it was way down to my waistline. "Emily come help with the zipper please" I called out still trying to reach for it when a warm hand touched my skin zipping the dress up "thanks emily" i said my head down checking the dress out. "Who's Emily?" a male voice asked and i froze, I turned around to see a man who smelled like the earth on a rainy season with hands in his pocket. he had the looks of a Greek God, fair skin with short black hair, an ocean blue eyes I could at stare all day and a black suit that's fitted perfectly on his body, like it was made specifically for him "are you done checking me out?" my cheeks flushed as I look away
"wha.. what are you doing here?, where's Emily?" I asked shyly
"i didn't see anyone outside so i came to help" he looks at me, my neck straining from trying to look at him.. his so tall, I thought to myself
"thank you but I'd need you to leave now please" I said with hands on my waist. He smirks before leaving. I turned to face the full length mirror in the room, my face all flushed, my neck red.
Angrily I storm out of the changing room to see emily step out from behind a clothe rack, more clothes on her hands "I'm leaving" I said, angry from the embarrassment she just cost me, I mean I had my back bare to an unknown man's views, my waistline was visible.. I grabbed my bag and walked out
"hey hey hey, wait up" I hear her running after me.
My breath hitched as I stopped in front of someone cat-walking into the store.. it was her, the reason i was kicked out of my home, lilith. With faces of the ones I'd never forget behind her, the ones I considered my friends.
Eric's pov:
Desmond called me asking to meet him at the clothe store by 3p:30pm, saying he needed my opinion on a gift, like I cared.
sitting inside the car, I smiled to myself.. seeing her again, this time awake, she looked more beautiful. Her eyes the shade of light green, long wavy hair reaching down her waist, complimenting her features with rosy plump lips i'd wanna kiss. I could feel my veins popping just looking at her in that dress, all I wanted to do was tear it off her while I make her say my name.. "oh little rabbit, trying to seduce me huh" i murmur chuckling to my self.
Waving a hand outside my window, Brandon appears before me "reschedule the conference meeting for tomorrow evening by 7pm and a strapless black dress, transparent from the thighs downward, buy it" I ordered waving for them to drive. eyes closed, I reminisce of my encounter with her, picturing her under me when a call disturbs me, without looking at the name I take it "hey Eric, I'm sorry I kept you waiting.. there was an emergency at the family house"
"same matter?" I asked him opening my eyes to look out the window
"yeah, the old mans really angry.. I've got to go" the call drops.
a car comes up behind us, I wave my hand as a stop sign to the driver. Brandon appears in my line of sight handing me a black box.. Inside was the same dress she wore, "find out where she works now" I said dropping the box beside me as I signal the driver to move. She no longer works at the bar, I needed to meet her again, for the first time I met a girl who could make me want her so bad, she's not escaping me.
janette's pov:
"janette what are you doing in a luxurious clothing store?.. can you even afford anything here?" she asked, I ignored her, I'm not wasting my time on someone who stole my home. Emily comes to stand beside me "Lilith, it is not a pleasure meeting you here" she tells her.
"janette I see you've found yourself an underdog, I mean since every friend of yours no longer wants you around them" she smiles and I scoffed, as if I'd want such lousy friends.
" who are you calling a dog, you ugly urchin. just because you got a few jobs done on your body, you think you can insult anyone huh?" blood drains from liliths face at emilys reply as i chuckled.
"what are you talking about?.. my face is natural"
"Tell that to the foolish bimbo's you've got standing behind You, nobody cares here" emily has always had a sharp tongue, lilith just got unlucky to have a taste of it today. "you.." she points a finger at emily
"what?.. cat twist your tongue? or your lies just got exposed?" emily wasn't ready to give up but i was. Alot has happened today and i wasn't ready for another drama.
Staring at lilith who had nothing more to say, I held Emily by the hand to leave "let's go Emily, I don't want any problems and i think she's got the memo now", lilith blocks our path still fuming from the insults "you don't want any problems or you stole something and don't want to be caught huh?"
"you can't just throw baseless accusations lilith" I said trying to leave again. Smack! I pause, holding my cheeks as it burns on my fingertips, I didn't need a mirror to see it must be red from the slap I just received.
glaring at her, I simply took Emily's hand, walking around her to leave "look at her go, that's all you'll ever do janette. Run away" I stopped at her words, grinding my teeth.. f**k! the urge to tear that mouth of hers came on strong, turning around I see her grining, arms under her chest as her entourage laughs. standing still my blood boiled, in the blink of an eye Emily launched herself on lilith giving her slaps, screams echo all around as they kept tearing at each other. People gathered around watching the chaos as i tried lifting Emily off her but she only got angrier trying to get revenge for me, eventually we got thrown out.
(Writer's pov:)
while everyone dealed with their problems, Kylie on the other hand refused to leave the suite and got thrown out. with nowhere to vent, she called her friends on a conference call "girls let's go party, I'm so mad I wanna drink myself to stupor"
"okay, sounds fun" they all agreed, Kylie smiles.. I just need to cool off and come up with a better plan, Eric will be mine, she murmurs under her breath
"did you say something"
"no, meet at queens club, 9pm tonight" she answers, dropping the call, her driver comes to pick her.. one look at the suite as a calculative smile plasters on her face, she leaves.
"Emily why did you fight with her?" janette groans, cleaning the last blood on her friends nose.
"how can i not, hearing how she kept insulting you I couldn't just stand by and watch you leave"
"i don't mind, it's not the first time I've been insulted. I take it like the others, just shrug it off" janette says applying ointment on the cuts
"jane you have to stop letting people walk over you" she mutters and janette presses harder on the cut
"ouch that hurts" Emily whined,
"bear with it, you didn't think of that before getting into a fight"
"i did it for you"
"I didn't ask you to" janette scolds, her voice coming off high pitched. Emily stands up, picking her things she turned to leave, janette sighs softly "I'm sorry, I know you were only trying to look out for me like you always do and i love that" she tells emily "I just.. i don't want you getting hurt for me.. it hurts, It definitely does, seeing lilith reminds me of the past but i can't change it and neither can you" she adds, her voice barely audible
"i know it does Jane, you have every right to be mad, to cry, to beat the crap out of that stupid lilith" emily replies, turning to look at janette "don't let them walk over You, if she wants a fight, give it her jane" she adds.
they both hug, letting silence dictate the moment as Jane recalls all that's happened to her the last five months
