We were all at Elaine's house getting ready to go out tonight. After the conversation we had with Joseph last night neither of us had heard from him today over breakfast or lunch so I spent the entire day here helping her do some of her house chores.
It's been a roller coaster of emotions for her since Roman was killed but she tells me she's doing a lot better now and she seems so excited to go out and let loose tonight. I know when she needs time to vent and time to be alone so I respect her when she's telling me she's doing okay and leave it be for the sake of having fun tonight.
"Bugs, I found it!" Rose screamed running down the hallway into the living room with a dress in hand. Rose is one of Elaine's lifelong friends that she invited out tonight along with her cousin Ann. We turned her entire living room into a spa after cleaning up this morning and have spent the last few hours doing our hair and makeup and trying to find dresses to wear out.
"Let me see!" Elaine rushed out of the kitchen to snap up the dress that Rose was running down the hallway with, "this is perfect! Bugs you're going to look so sexy! Someone is going to be so mad when they see you," the last sentence practically whispered but had me wondering if she was talking about Joseph due to the conversation we had last night. Why would he be mad though?
My thoughts were confirmed when Elaine started telling the girls all about the blow up last night and how she was so proud of me for standing up for myself. They were determined to piss him off even more tonight by putting me in one of Elaine's tightest and shortest dresses. By the looks of the material in Rose's hands, there isn't going to be much left to the imagination once it's on.
Once everyone was finished with makeup and hair the three of them ushered me into the bedroom to get changed into my dress. They were already all dressed and in tight fitting ones at that. Elaine had on a floral print off the shoulder dress that went down to her knees and showed off her tiny frame. Rose had a black dress with a dangerously low v-neck exposing her chest tattoo and Ann had a silky light pink dress that hugged her waist and was loose on the top half. All three looked as though they had stepped out of a magazine and into this living room. They were the definition of perfection.
"Hurry up already we are dying to see you!" The three of them kept shouting from the living room. I took a step back and looked in the mirror at the woman in front of me. One whom I am growing to love through new eyes. She's becoming more confident in her own voice and learning to accept her emotions as a part of who she is and who she is growing to be. The night terrors still consume me and the constant flashbacks take over every now and then but I wouldn't change this process because it means I am growing, learning to live again without being tied to a monster.
The fabric that lined my body felt like a second skin, smooth and tight. It was a deep red and had two thin straps holding it on my shoulders. The perfect amount of cleavage was showing but the part I couldn't get over was the left side going from the bottom of the dress at my mid thigh, up to the top of my hip was an open slit only being held together by thin pieces of matching fabric, exposing my thong. No underwear for me tonight. I thought as I slipped off the red panties I was wearing underneath the dress.
I walked into the living room and the girls were already taking pictures and had glasses of champagne at the ready. They all turned to look at me and screamed with delight at the outfit of choice for the night.
"Look at how fucking sexy you look!"
"If I wasn't a straight married woman I would totally be banging your brains out!"
"You've got to be kidding! How does one person look this stunning!?"
"If this doesn't get Joseph's feathers all riled up I don't know what will!"
We all gathered around and took countless pictures and drank champagne before the limo arrived out front. Elaine said Joseph hired a driver to make sure that we would all be safe coming home tonight.
As we gathered into the limo I felt that strange feeling creep up my spine as if someone was watching me. Before I stepped inside I kept looking around, knowing that in my line of work my gut is always right. I reached to my side for my gun out of instinct and came up empty handed, this feeling of being watched wasn't settling well with me and not having a weapon on me was even more unsettling.
"Hey give me just one second I forgot something in the house," I lied but the three of them were already dancing and drinking so they didn't mind, telling me to hurry back.
I quickly reached Elaine's front door and as I went to grab the handle I felt a hand wrap around my wrist and I was spun around and before I could make sense of what exactly was happening a forceful kiss was planted on my lips.
"Don't go tonight," the voice behind the lips whispered in my neck causing chills to run down my spine.
