Into Your Heart

Chapter Two

~Aria~

I stared at my reflection in the mirror in the ladies' bathroom. I shouldn’t have come. I’m already exhausted. I sighed, washed my hands and dried them, then stepped out to meet with Rina.

I spotted her talking to some men in very bright colorful suits. ‘What the heck?’ my fashion instinct was irritated at their clothes.

Rina was smiling more like blushing at whatever the bright suit men told her. I wonder what's funny?

Rina or should I say Odette Gonzalez. That was her real name. She always hated her real name. That’s why she picked Rina instead. I don’t know why she hated the name, though I found it beautiful, but since she was better with Rina I respected her choice.

The way she blushed at whatever the colored suits told made her so beautiful. I watched as they stared at her like she was the most beautiful person in the room. Rina wore a backless amber green gown that showed off her beautiful rosy skin, her looks for the night had this cute yet sexy face that added to her beauty. The dress hugged her skinny body. She was skinny but not bony skinny, just the right skinny, which enhanced her curves. It’s no wonder the men couldn't seem to keep their eyes away from her, unlike my boring self, which is okay.

I’m a little envious, but it’s nothing to be really jealous about. I cared for her and my second-best friend Maia.

My phone rang, and I looked at the call ‘Talk about the devil’. I smiled

“Hey Mai..”

“Why didn’t you tell me you were going to the Bella’s gala?” She yelled.

‘Oh, my dear ears'

“Was there a need to tell you that?”

“What do you mean was there a need? I am your best friend or are you choosing Odette over me?” she kept yelling. The other side of the phone was noisy.

'Why would you say that?'

“Could you stop yelling, it’s not that loud here you’re bursting my drums and no, why would I choose her over you and where are you at?”

Maia gets a little jealous that I’m closer to Rina, but it’s not my fault. She’s the one who's married and is on a honeymoon. “Sorry, I’m in the club with my husband” She kept yelling.

“Look who is talking about jealousy. I should be the one jealous.” she laughed,

“Look who’s talking like you want a man, you’re always stubborn about it and if I try to introduce you....”

“Blah blah blah” I knew where this was going to go, and I was not ready for that. She laughed and I joined her. “You know I love you girl". I said “I love you too," she said, sending kisses through the phone, making me blush and giggle like a child.

I’m always a child with Maia; she has this motherly aura around her that’s one of the reasons I love her so much, and I know she will be a great mother.

“Anyway, stay safe.... bye my hubby is calling for me and call me immediately after the party and give me all the hot details. Also, if possible, lose that cherry of yours or webs are really going to grow down there."

‘Oh my gosh' I palmed my face mentally

I can’t believe this married lady, and before I could fire back my own remark she hung up.

‘Ah, you little b***h'. Who was I kidding? My life is not quiet when it's with these two in it, but I love them. They make me feel good.

I was always the outcast, always inside my own shell. I still am, but not when I'm with them. With them, I feel free, I become a different person when I’m with them both, and I lose all my morals and curse a lot and say things an innocent child like me shouldn’t say, and now I’m not so innocent anymore.

I put my phone back in my bag, about to return to the assigned seat, not bothering to look for Rina, knowing she was probably flirting somewhere and that’s when I saw HIM.

What is he doing here?
