Not A Cinderella

Brenton.

I have no idea why she wanted to speak to my mother but I plan to find out. Those two are a dangerous mix. My mom is a very smart woman. same as April and they both have a very feisty side.

"April. Oh Dallas" "Brenton I think it would be best you take a seat" looking at April she had a very big look of determination in her eyes. "This is for you" "thank you".
Hearing my phone ring April looked at it with a sly grin.
"Evelyn..news I like to hear.." April chuckled "how many hours have I got?...I will be there looking exquisite" April let out a laugh "alright I will see you then.. and thankyou..I will keep that in mind. bye".
April put my phone down and slid it across the table as a grin sat on her face "thanks for letting me use it".
"Okay so what is going on? What are you two up to?" "Hmm well in.." April looked at her watch "six hours and fifty one minutes I will be having an interview with Peter McGregor" my eyes went wide "you are going to go to the press" a smirk played on her lips "actually, your mom is coming with me and if you want to take part, you are more than welcome but I might need to fill you in on something" I did not like where this was going at all. Looking at Dallas he had a curious look on his face as well so I'm guessing he has no idea. "Okay so your mom told or is going to tell a little white lie.." shaking my head I couldn't help but grin. I know how my mom's mind works "we are engaged" my eyes went wide "that's what she told peter?" "Maybe but if she hasn't I'm sure she will mention it" sitting back dallas shook his head "this is not what I expected April, I did not think you wanted anything to do with the press" "I have no choice. It's best to stop them in their tracks before they even start" "the Medlocks?" April nodded "and of course my mom has to stir trouble" "no she is just working with me to stop the bullshit. Your mom won't take it and nor will i" "be prepared for a million questions coming your way about yesterday" "dad I am well prepared. If I can handle myself in a court room, I can handle myself in an interview on television. You sound like you are doubting me" "I'm not doubting you I just want you to be prepared" "I appreciate it but with another wild woman by my side, I'm sure we will answer every question with confidence" I couldn't help but grin and shake my head "I will be coming" "we make an appearance, we lie through our ass about some things and we leave" "sounds like you and mom have it all worked out" there was a glint in her eye "there's something you aren't telling me isn't there?" "Just a very small detail" "how small?" April grinned "a family heirloom" "mom is giving you the ring?" April nodded "a temporary fix" nope I need to speak with mom. I don't want it to be a temporary fix, I plan to make it real.
"Give me a few minutes" "look April you blew him out of the water" I chuckled "nothing like that I just need to use the bathroom".

"April?" "Mom" "geez I can't keep up with you two" I chuckled "April filled me in on something but I want it to change" "be clear here Brenton" "I don't want her to have the heirloom..." "Brenton it's for a show" "if you didn't cut me off I was going to say temporarily" "what oh my god" I laughed at moms excitement "I plan to do it on the show" "Holy shit well that's a twist isn't it" "a little have you mentioned it to peter?" "No not yet" "good then it will be a surprise for all" I could hear mom's happiness over the phone. "Alright I will hand it to you and by the look of it, it will be a perfect fit" "oh god I hope so" mom laughed "I will leave it ready for you in the gorgeous box it comes with" "thanks mom" "gahh now I am excited" "calm down you will ruin it" "I would not. Bye now" "bye mom".

April.

"Okay I need to go I have things to sort out before tonight" "where are you going?" "Well I thought why not give them a show. Time to go act like a lady" I could see the look in brentons eyes "dressing up?" "Just a little. Bye everyone" "bye" "wait why are you dressing up?" I grinned at Brit "watch the tv at six with Peter McGregor" sending a wink Brits way she smirked "looking forward to it".

Spending the rest of the day shopping, getting my hair done and makeup done with very light make up. I was actually quite excited I am going to stick it up their asses.
When I arrived home Brenton was standing in the kitchen making some food.
"Holy shit" I grinned "I need to go get dressed but I'm sure I will see you soon" "I'm guessing a suit is in order" I nodded with a slight grin "yep" a handsome smile sat in his face "I best come get changed then" "sure".
Heading to the room Brenton wasn't far behind. Laying my dress down on the bed with my shoes beneath it on the ground, I stripped out of my clothes changing my bra to a strapless one then put my dress and heels on. Seeing brentons eyes on me he looked at me with love and lust "I see you havent even got changed" "I was preoccupied" "hmm fair enough" "you do look glamorous" I grinned "thank you".
Brenton moved closer grabbing my right hand as his left hand moved to my hips, gently running his tongue across my lips before kissing me with love and passion. Pulling away, I looked into his dark eyes "I love you more than anything" "I love you" Brenton had an affectionate smile on his face "but if you don't get dressed we are going to be late" brenton grinned as he shook his head and walked towards the closet.
Heading down stairs I made sure I had everything, my new phone was off and I had my keys. I plan to take the Lexus tonight only because I plan to play the part in every single way possible.

Seeing Brenton come down the stairs in his suit and tie he does look delectable but I prefer the everyday Brenton in his jeans and shirt or even tracksuit pants.
"Are you ready to go?" "Yes I was just making sure I had everything. Going to drive the Lexus" Brenton smirked "and why is that?" "Need to look the part" "good choice but you can't drive in heels" handing the keys to Brenton he grinned "alright lets get out of here" I nodded.

"Nervous?" "No not at all. I know how to handle these people. I never wanted to be in the lime light but I do what I have to do" I could see a small grin on brentons face "I know you can handle it. I'm curious as to why you asked my mom for help though, you don't like asking for help" "your mom is familiar with that lifestyle and as soon as I told her what was happening she instantly put her hand up to help" "sounds like her. You two are very similar" I grinned "and so was our beginning as she told me" "shes right although you are a lot more stubborn" I smirked "a little" "a lot".

"April and brenton" "hi Evelyn" "hi mom" "oh my, look the rumors were true, Brenton Mancini is here" I internally grinned hearing a lady talk to her coworker.
"Are you prepared?" "I'm all set and thank you Evelyn" "don't thank me yet but i know we will do great" Evelyn winked making me grin.
"Mrs Mancini, Mister Mancini and you must be miss maltri" "hi abigail" "hello" "hi it's lovely to meet you" putting my hand out Abigail shook it without hesitation with a welcoming grin on her face "and you too. I have heard a lot about you. These are your microphones, put them on making sure it is close but not too close to your mouth" "we know what we are doing Abigail" Abigail grinned "I have to say it to everyone don't blame me" I held in a grin then grabbed the microphone placing it on the top of my dress and the box behind me. I have used these many times in the past but not for interviews. "Okay are you all comfortable? Peter will call you out shortly" "we are perfect thanks abigail" "wonderful".
