Twisted tryst

Redemption

"The meeting!" I yelled and jumped up, knocking Tanner down in the process. I picked up my phone and went to my contacts app. I had 4 missed calls from my boss from a few days ago. As well as two from today.

"Oh gosh..."

I dialed her number and waited as the phone rang. It was around 8:00 AM, I hope she's awake.

"Ahem, hello?"

"Hi! I am so sorry Maria. I didn't realize what day it was, so much happened."

"Mhm, we still need to have that meeting. Asher is currently free, are you as well?"

I glanced over at Tanner who was still fast asleep before responding, "Yes, of course."

"Good. We will be over in a few hours. Prepare yourself and get him out of the house."

"Okay see yo-"

Maria hung up the phone before I could say goodbye. I knew she was pissed but goodness. I vigorously shook Tanner. He blinked his eyes open and rubbed them.

"Hm?"

"I'm going to have guests over soon and you absolutely can't be here."

"How come?"

"You're all over the news, and if they see you, you'd be taken away."

He groans, narrowing his eyes a bit. Now I am definitely not a convincing liar but what else was there to say? My boss and her assistant who are trying to get you locked up were coming over. Oh yeah, almost forgot to tell you that I'm in on it, haha.

Hell no.

He'd never trust me after that. I couldn't help but wonder, does he even trust me? For all I know he could be plotting as well.

"Luckily for you, I have somewhere to be," Tanner stretched and got up.

He stripped his clothes from his body, grabbing his towel and heading to the shower.

I snickered as I watched him walk. He had his butt cheeks clenched rather hard. I shook my head and looked away, also getting up. I had already showered the other day, and I didn't stink, so there was no need to dry my skin out.

"What to wear, what to wear?" I mumbled to myself as I looked through my closet.

I pulled out a black blouse with puffy black mesh sleeves. They were lined with small red flowers, connected by a long vine. I threw it on and quickly slipped into my black skinny jeans.

"Perfect."

I put on my socks and black heeled boots. I'm going all black today. I stared at myself in the mirror for a few moments.

"Gosh, I'm gorgeous."

I brushed my thick hair up into a big ball. My hair was a bit frizzy but I still looked put together. I placed a few clips in the back where my hair didn't reach the top of my head. There were two peices of hair on either side of my head that stuck out. Using my saliva I wet them and curled them with my finger. DIY curling cream am I right?

No.

Tanner walked back into the bedroom and dried off, quickly getting dressed behind me.

"So where do you have to go?" I asked.

"I'm meeeting up with a friend."

"And who may that be?"

"An old childhood friend."

I noticed he was a bit vague with his answers. It was suspicious but none of my business so I decided not to pry.

"Nice! Hope you guys have fun."
