Forever my girl

Chapter two:Tiffany

Gazing through the window in my room ,The night sky is filled with a million twinkling stars, and the glow of street lights cast a warm, golden glow over the city. The sound of cars passing by filled the air, but it was all overshadowed by the beauty of the stars above.

"Henry always teases me by calling me the "night princess" whenever he finds me lost on my minuscule divan stool next to the window."

I always remind him "I am an astrophile,selenophile and nyctophile."

"Don't tell me you are wearing this to dinner with me ," because i might just change my mind tiffi.

Henry stares at me like he stares at his journals.It's showing much of your body figure and i don't like the color.he folds his arms on his chest and sits on the bed angrily. "I want you to wear the dress I bought you last week,please baby."

Come on Hen , this dress is not too tight and we both know that pink looks good on me so why are you complaining.your mom gave me this dress last Christmas and you know she will never give me a dress that will make other guys stare at me when I wear it any where.

"Henry always wants me to wear what he wants whenever we go out together, and he won't walk away until I do. I've had enough of his controlling and jealous behavior."

Don't talk to guys around me-Don't make male friends.Don't-Don't-Don't. "I am sick and tired of his do's and don'ts."

"I am waiting for you tiffi."

Find me in the living room when you've changed. He mutters as he bangs the door behind me.

"I am not going to change this dress today."

with the anger still simmering inside my head , I lay down on the bed and close my eyes ,only to be pulled by the sweet comfort of sleep without even realizing it.

"Opening my eyes to the light of morning, I can still feel the weight of yesterday's troubles slowly returning, like a storm cloud hovering on the horizon."

I squint my eyes and slowly walk out of bed and straight to the living room,remembering that was where i was supposed to meet Henry last night.

Hen! Hen!!

Henr-, bubba where are you?I yell in confusion.Henry is no where to be found around the house as i check every where.

"This guy must be kidding me," he left because I didn't change or maybe he came back to check on me and found out i was fast asleep. Anyway,I don't care!

I scowl "whatever!"

It's Saturday so i will just spend the day doing my laundry and watch "Gossip girl" at night.

After I am done eating lunch I decide to call Henry on the phone but he isn't picking up. "I am sure he is still mad at me."

Ashley's call comes ringing as I keep the phone on the couch,i answer immediately.

Hi tiffi , are you at home?

Yeah I am! What is wrong? I ask because I don't want Ashley to come to my house when Henry is in town because they can't stand each other.

Great! See you soon.

She hangs up and i screem irritatingly. "Henry might not visit today,anyway."So i shouldn't be bothered,"I sink my back onto the couch and then I feign a cry as i vividly remember "oh my god, I've laundry to do ." Uhmm i will just do it tomorrow morning.

Ashley brings out two tickets from her jeans pocket as she stands in front of me.

"Jase had bought us VIP tickets to go and watch basketball," he was called in to the hospital this morning, so we can't go together.

She sits beside me and keeps one ticket on my lap, "change what you're wearing and let's get going because it's starting soon."

I groan and lean my head on my lap "I hope potatoe head is not going to be among the players because I just can't stand Triston."

I don't like to hear anyone call his name in my presence.

"Tiffi Triston is all grown up now and he doesn't even have time to keep grudges with you or anyone."so you better take off that attitude out of your brain ewww! Ashley giggles as she slaps my back.

I can stand any one in my life right now but remembering what Triston did to me at summer camp when i was in fifth grade is something i will never get rid of from my brain.

"Your potatoe head cousin placed a spider on my head." Ughhhhh!

"A Tarantula for that matter."

Ashley i just can't take the scene out of my head. I passed out when all the kids screamed "there's a tarantula on Tiffany's head!"

Through out my child hood everyone that knows me knows i don't like tarantulas . I still hate the sight of tarantulas despite the fact that I am a grown up now.

"You better take the scene out of your head because i don't think Triston will remember you and the tarantula when he sees you."

Okay i will think about it.

"Think about what?" Ashley asks in amazement.

About going to watch basketball of course!

But I told you it's starting soon, please please pleeease tiffi get up! Ashley stands up and drags me to my room.

Ah'hahhh "miracle sent from heaven"said Ashley as she picks up the pink dress i wore yesterday on top of my bed.

Keep that dress,there's no way i can wear it."I slept off wearing it yesterday." Oops !!! I gaffe and quickly snatch the dress from Ashley's hands.

"She mustn't know what happened between me and Henry last night, no way ."

Are you okay tiffi?

I ignore Ashley's question as i walk past her,pretending I didn't hear what she said . I open my wardrobe and bring out a crew-neck shirt that is gray in color and a blue jeans .i quickly show them to Ashley.

"I think this is better," what do you think?

She gives me a cold glare and answers "if it's what you want, i won't force you to wear what you don't want to wear.

As soon as she said that yesterday's incident with Henry flashes back to my head as i start to change out of my baggy sweat shirt and tight leggings.

"So for Ashley to say this means i can look at Henry in the eyes and tell him he was wrong for telling me what to wear." Hmm, okay no problem. Let's see who's going to apologize first.

Are you going to use the entire minute we have left to wear this jeans ? "Maybe i would just get you Kylie Jenner's red carpet dress to wear."

Ashley laughs horribly as i show her a middle finger. "Go to H-E double hockey sticks."

Or maybe i should wait to see Henry scold me because i made you wear a body revealing gown that's worth starting a future with him and your kids.

Whatever! Let's go. I grab my beige sneakers from the shoe rack and push Ashley out of the room.
