My stay at Brandon’s place was okay so far I never went out the whole week I locked my door I haven’t seen Brandon since Sunday Lina was coming over today and we were going shopping I wore my short shorts with a black sweater with my new Yeezy Craig bought me and I have my yellow handbag it my favourite I waited for Lina outside the gate that how much I’ve been cooped up inside, she arrived in a red Lamborghini
Vanessa: “Hey girl, oh I’ve missed you”
Lina: “Same here girl, let paint the city red I love your outfit is to die for”
Vanessa: “Oh stop it, where to first?”
Lina: “Beverly Hills honey”
She stepped on the gas, first shop we went to was a snicker shop, I got myself a pair of Yeezy, Vanz and Nike we then went to a beautiful boutique got a black gown, YSL bought all sort of dresses night and day were, Tom ford white heels, DKNY short and office pants our last stop was Fendi for the handbag then after we went to an Italian restaurant where I ordered grilled hake with salad and fries with coke, Lina ordered the spaghetti meatballs with one glass of wine since she was driving, my day was awesome we returned back at 5 she parked her car in the pavement we got in as a hurricane with all the bags
Brandon was making dinner while Stacy was sitting in the front, they all turned to look at us “Lina this is Stacy Brandon’s girlfriend,” I said it smiling “Stacy this is Lina my 2nd bestfriend and Craig’s girlfriend”. She looked amazed “I didn’t know Craig did relationships,” She said with a smug look on her face
Lina: “I believe I have Vanessa to thank for that”
Oooh I see what you’re doing ha ha I laughed in my head
Brandon: “Nice to see you again Lina, if I knew you were coming we would’ve gone out”
Stacy: “You know her?”
Brandon: “Yes as Vanessa said, she is Craig’s girlfriend and Craig is my friend so yes I know her”
Okay that I don’t want to see
Lina: “I had promised Vanessa a visit so I didn’t really want to disturb your routine”
Brandon: “What not at all, at least stay for dinner?”
Lina: “I’d love to but I can’t Craig is already blowing off my phone”
We left to my room, I started packing my things
Lina: “She sure is a b?tch”
Vanessa: “That an understatement”
Lina: “Well I have to run or else I might find myself single”
Vanessa: “Not on my watch, but you’ll still have me nonetheless”
I finished my packing and walked Lina to her car, I came back in and Craig called me for dinner and it was 7pm in this household dinner and breakfast are at 7 I sat across from Brandon and Stacy was sitting next to him, steak with stir fry with white wine was our dinner
Brandon: “You settling well Alexander?”
Stacy: “Alexander? Is that her middle name?”
Brandon: “It her surname”
Stacy: “Then why you calling her by her surname Brad?”
Brad? Woah I think I’m just going to go out after this the mood is just intense for no reason
Vanessa: “You may call me Alexander also if you so choose Stacy, and I am settling well Brandon thank you for asking”
Just then my phone rang and it was Craig I looked at Brandon “Am I allowed to answer the phone in the middle of dinner?”
Brandon: “Sure go ahead”
Vanessa: “Despacito papi” I answered then went to the pool area
Craig: “I hear that b?tch is making snarky comments about me?”
Vanessa: “”If I didn’t know better I’d say you guys like each other secretly
He laughed but it was a laugh I knew too well
Craig: “Ha ha haaah, Whatttt? No ways!”
Vanessa: “Ahah!”
Craig: “Uhm well yeah bye, just wanted to hear if you’re okay, okay then toodles mami”
Ha! He just hung up, interesting! He’s so caught I might just enjoy staying here, after all, I returned back to the table all smiles
Stacy: “Boyfriend?”
Vanessa: “In another life maybe he could’ve been but since we’re all buddy buddy all of a sudden, it was Craig tormenting me for making his girlfriend’s feet tired I’m not complaining or better yet no one to complain to yet” I looked at her straight in the eye as I spoke and she pulled her gaze away Jackpot!!! They are f*****g
Brandon looked at me as if he was putting 2 and 2 together, I put my poker face on face down and ate till I finished, I took the plates and did the dishes regardless of Brandon’s protest I went to my room afterward and took a shower, I combed my hair wore my black Zara denims and cashmere figure-hugging top and Gucci heels, I left my hair opened I wore a baby pink lipstick with my nude handbag I finished my touch with light but natural makeup I sprayed it to keep it in I called the Uber while I put my Chanel perfume, I checked if I had enough George Washington’s, then I headed downstairs
Brandon: “You going out, alone?”
Vanessa: “Sí papi”
My uber notification came through and I said my goodnight and left
Driver: “Evening Ms. What is your destination?”
Vanessa: “Hi, I just want to check the place down the road, I was bored out of my mind in the house”
Driver: “Yes ma’am, you’re new around here?”
Vanessa: “Yes sir, I’m from South Africa it my 2nd month in the state”
Driver: “How you liking it, so far?”
Vanessa: “It good so far, I’m a tourist so I’m bound to be excited from the adventure”
Driver: “We are here, I’m Antonio”
Vanessa: “Pleasure to make your acquaintance Antonio, I’m Vanessa Alexander” I handed him 50 $
Antonio: “This ride is in the house miss, enjoy your stay call me if you need a ride”
Vanessa: “You’re too kind Antonio, I’ll have your number on speed dial should I need a rescue”
