Vanilla, Cream and Strawberries (Unedited copy)

Chapter 15 - Unedited

The day had been more eventful than Ari could have possibly imagined. With the water burning her skin she turned the shower on more powerfully. The bite it gave her skin hurt, but she liked it. Liked thinking about the pain instead the hours she'd just send preparing for the press conference. The ache in Ari's stomach was getting worse. She loved the twins, they'd been her best-friends all her life. But this new relationship was hard to handle. Would she be enough for them? Or would they get bored of her eventually. With the press on them 24/7 she didn't feel like she had a minute to herself. It was only a matter of time before the press started to dig shit up about her past. Daniels reassurance helped until she was alone with her thoughts and then reality came crashing back down.

"Baby you've been in there 40 minutes" Christian's concerned voice travelled through the door making her sigh. It was time she faced the world. Maybe forcing them to go the launch tour was the worst professional and personal mistake she'd ever made. But it was done now and she had to face those mistakes.

"I'm getting out" She groaned, and turned the water off. Wrapping herself up in fluffy towel, she walked into their shared hotel bedroom. The twins were already dressed and even in her sour mood she could still appreciate how handsome they were. In identical black suits, white shirts and typical of the twins they were wearing black vans. She couldn't help laughing at them, even at 24 years old with a multimillion dollar company they couldn't were dress shoes or a tie for that matter.

"Are you going to get ready or stand their drooling? Not that we don't appreciate the view." Christian snapped her out of her pervy glaze and she couldn't help blushing. Os walked in with a dress bag, along with Jack and Dominic dragging their heels behind him, sharing identical scowls. Both looking like his personal assistances.

"Ok boys, put the stuff down by the dresser" He told them and come and stood infront of her "Hey gorgeous." He winked at Ari and she couldn't help grinning. Oscar's hyper personality was contagious.

"Hey Handsome" Ari grinned back as the twins growled.

"Now boys, I have to thank you for making sure my little doll here didn't get sunburn yesterday" Os grinned, total unaffected by the twins glares. "We couldn't possibly have that beautiful touchable skin damaged now" Ari snorted attempting to hold back laughter. The twins on the other hand stalked over to her and wrapped her between them. Christian at Ari's back and Alex at her front.

"He's so annoying" Alex growled into her left ear making Ari shiver. She was aware that the staff we're still in the room and that made her nervous. Each of them kissed the curve of her creamy neck.

"We should go" Christian said looking at Alex and pulled away

"Have fun, princess" Alex smirked. And followed Christian out of the room. Jack and Dominic remained standing by the window looking at Arabella amused but only Oscar would actually open his mouth and say something. Obviously..

"So are they as good as they look?" Ari couldn't help chocking on the air in her mouth and started to sputter like a nervous virgin

"I wouldn't know" She laughed, trying to keep it causal, with them all staring at her.

"Sure you don't sweet-thing" Jack added, and left the room with a smirk on his face. Well at least they weren't calling her a dirty whore? Things could be worse.

Dominic played the role of slave. While Os sat her in front of the dresser, plucked, creamed and toned every inch of Arabella's available skin. Daniel instructed Oscar to dress Ari seductively, with heavy make-up apparently he wanted to her to play up the presses expectations as much as she could without completely compromising her reputation. The dress was a light velvet black. It was off the shoulder with no sides what-so-ever until it reached her hips and the material hit the floor. The right side a split that reached to her thigh. Something the twins would probably take advantage off. The sides along her breasts and ribs were held together with thick gold chains. She couldn't wear a bra and Arabella was shitting a brick that her nipple would fall out or something. But she guessed everyone had already seen them. Os pulled her hair into a tight messy bun and curled the short straggles that fell around Arabella's face. The eye make-up was dark and thick but it was nice. Just not something she'd wear every day. Her nails had been painted red and the strappy velvet black heels contrasted them nicely.
