Who To Trust?

Chapter 17: Girls day out

I'm outside working on my jabs , it's been three weeks since the incident at cemetery and since then I've been doing great with my training.

" Hey Kiesha ! " Robyn says skipping out of the cabin, with a huge smile on her face . Ever since our intense moment , we have been so close and she always seems so happy to see me .

" Hey Robyn ." I reply with an equally big smile . " what's the task for today?" I ask her, because every day she gives me a different task to increase my training skills.

" Today is the final , and I'm just confident that you will pass with an A. "

" ummm okay. What is it?" I ask a little worried

" You and Jordan Are going to fight ." And for the first time I see Jordan standing by the wall, seeming just as surprised as me , so he spoke up.

" why would we fight? I would never hit her ." He says with a bit of an attitude.

" I just think it would be nice for her to have experience fighting against a guy , i mean I could train her all day , but regardless, males and females fight different and have different body types. It's good if she fights against a guy also. But of you don't want to do it , I completely understand . Jamal can do it ." She says volunteering Jamal before asking him.

" No it's fine I will do it ." Jordan says, agreeing with Robyn's logic.

Jordan takes his time walking over to me , when he finally reaches me he stares at me. He stares into my eyes, in a relaxed stance . We didn't speak or anything , which actually confused me . He wasn't the fun , joking Jordan that I had come to love. It was something off about him. I decide to shake it off and step toward him. No matter how many steps I took toward him he never backed away, it was as if he wasn't scared of me one bit . He probably doubts me , he hasn't been around with Robyn training me , she has taught me so much . Here's my chance, my chance to show him. I start with a high kick. Jordan catches it and hold my ankle in that air , I use him to quickly swing my other foot around to kick him . He didn't have time to block , so he moved back as fast as he could . His mouth went into a smile smirk, showing me that he was slightly impressed . This time he walks towards me . I throw some punches his way that he blocked. After throwing a few punches and hitting him three times, he throws one back that I block. His punch was slow like Robyn said, well slow compared to hers, but even blocking it hurt like hell. I had to shake it off and try again. Jordan and I going back and forth with punches, him blocking mines, well I just desperately tried to avoid he's. As he blocked one of my punches he swings me around and gets me in a pretty tight headlock . So i try bowing him in his ribs ,but he wouldn't let up. Jordan is was really strong, but he doesn't weigh that much , so I lifted up off the floor using his arm, swung all of my weight and flipped him over my head. I didn't think it would even work, but it did! So I get on top of him and start punching. He puts his arms up in an x to protect his face. Then he flips me over and pins my arms on the ground.

" And stop ! " Robyn says, as Jordan's moves off of me . A feeling rushed over me when Jordan was on top of me. We haven't been intimate in a while now. I wonder if he's just completely over me.... Maybe he's realized that he really doesn't want me anymore. I pondered.

My thought slowly creep away as Robyn says we should have a girls day , to reward me for all my hard work. She takes me into the city, which was a nice little ride from where we lived. We started with getting our nails done, then our feet, facials and eyebrows waxed. We talked and laughed. We gossiped about people. We ate lunch at this expensive place, where I couldn't even pronounce the meals .

"what would you suggest " I asked the cure waiter who was obviously a flirt.

" how about you let me order for you and if you like it, we can just take our relationship from there." He said in a smooth voice, not knowing that I had already had the only man I want at home waiting for me.

I did let him order my food for me, which was just some type of fish sautéed in onions and peppers , with a side of wild rice. Through the whole dinner, Robyn would not stop commenting on the waiter's flirtation comments. She ended up leaving him a twenty dollar tip, because she felt bad that he couldn't get my number.

Next thing we know the whole day had gone by! Our last stop was a boutique, filled with beautiful dresses. We had tried on dresses for thirty minutes before I had given up. Robyn had dresses draped over the couch because she looked good in all of them. I didn't care for any much.

" Kiesha, you have to find a dress. We are leaving out tonight! I already told the boys to be ready for us. Here try this dress on.

" Robyn none of the dresses have looked good on me " I protest, not wanting to try on the dress.

" this one will, I have an eye for these things, Jordan will love you in this" when she said those last words I immediately became consumed with sadness.

" what's wrong?" She asks me

" Ummmm well.... Jordan and I haven't been close lately " she hesitates a bit.

" like close? Or close ... Close?" She asks .

" both " I reply with my head down.

" well in this dress he won't be able to resist you. Trust me ."

So I did. I got the dress without trying it on . We went back to the cabin . The guys were waiting for us on the couch , ready to go . I didn't even look at Jordan , I just went straight to Robyn's and Jamal room, because she said she would help me get ready. I put on this fairly simple red dress, with a single thick black strip going down both of my sides. I had to admit , my body did look great in it , but still....

" Robyn , I just don't see how this dress will solve my problems ." I say to her as she rushes in to do her hair . "

" hey the dress isn't even half of it . The dress don't make a person look good. The person makes the dress look good. " she says standing there in an even simpler black dress.

I watched as she put two slits on her dress, going kind high up on her thighs. And she gave me one on my right thigh. She pent her hair up beautifully with bobby pins, and let a single curl hang from her hair, she put on some designed stockings, pearl ear rings and necklace . Red lipstick . It seemed like she was going for an extremely classy look until you get to her deep slits in her dress, and the very high red heels to match her very thin red belt tightly wrapped around her stomach.

" I wanted to match with you!!!" She said with the biggest smile on her face.

Once she was done with her, she put nice loose curls in my head that made my hair look amazing , put me on the same lipstick as hers, gave me some fish net stockings. We found some black and silver earrings that hung to my neck, and I wore some black heels that was atleast two inches lower than hers. When I looked in the mirror I didn't even recognize myself. I had never worn a dress before, at least not one like this.... For once I was not ashamed to stand next to Robyn , because now you see it . You see the resemblance as clear as day . Or maybe it was just me . Maybe I didn't see the beauty in myself .
