Chapter 9 - "Make something up, Anne-Marie."

Scarlett was halfway through eating her pasta when her phone began to ring, and she looked at the ID, and found her sister calling her. Scarlett furrowed her brows softly, before she answered the call. "Yes, Anne-Marie?" She asked her twin sister curiously.

"Are you busy right now?" Anne-Marie asked her in uncertainty, and Scarlett could hear it clearly in her tone, and she immediately became suspicious.

"Not really." Scarlett replied slowly. "I'm just eating some pasta."

Anne-Marie was quiet for a moment, and Scarlett simply waited for her to finally spit out what she was going to say. "We need your help with something." Anne-Marie finally told her. "I'll explain everything when we pick you up, but, erm, you need to get dressed first. Make sure it's something low-cut."

At this Scarlett began to choke on her pasta. "Did I just hear you correctly?" Scarlett questioned her sister after she had stopped choking. "Did you just tell me to wear something low-cut?"

"Yes, we need you to distract someone with Kiara." Anne-Marie explained to her. "And, well, both me and Kiara know you're the most distracting out of us all. With your gorgeous platinum hair, your too-long legs and-"

"Okay, okay!" Scarlett cut her sister off quickly as she stood from the chair and headed for her room as she searched her wardrobe. "So, what neckline are we talking? Off-shoulder? Pentagon? Strapless?" Scarlett asked.

"Pentagon." Anne-Marie decided. "And go with your shortest shorts."

"You owe me." Scarlett told her sister before she ended the call on her, and she began to find an outfit of her sisters description. It took Scarlett a few minutes to find one, and she pulled on the dark red top, and pulled on her shortest shorts. Scarlett then grabbed her shoes, and headed for the front, to wait for the others to arrive and pick her up.

After a while, they pulled up beside her and Anne-Marie pulled the door open for her, and before she could say anything, JJ spoke. "Well hello there, darling, you look lovely." JJ told her as his eyes ran up and down her, and Scarlett fought the urge to smile and simply pushed him aside so she could climb in.

"Why thank you." Scarlett told him with a grin as she climbed in. "But you're never getting anywhere near this." Scarlett told him smugly as she gestured to her own body, and she sat down beside her sister, as Pope reached forwards and slid the van door shut.

"We'll see about that." JJ told her conceitedly, and Scarlett's only reply was a scoff.

However, Anne-Marie glared at JJ intensely. "Don't even try macking on my sister, Maybank." Anne-Marie warned him sternly. "Trust me, you don't want to go there. You'll regret it." Scarlett knew what she meant by that - he'd regret all of his flirtatious words and acts when he found out who she was really. But even if he didn't (which was a one in a billion chance) she knew that Lucas and Nathan would become overprotective, and knew that Topper and Rafe would also become overprotective and almost territorial - they had when she had dated Eliot Sampson.

But she saw that they had good reason to after she broke up with him.

But his little flirtations would get a bigger reaction since he was a pogue, and she knew exactly how each of them felt about the pogues.

Anne-Marie then began to explain the plan to her - her and Kiara were to distract the security guard at the salvage yard by asking him to fill up their flat tire. Anne-Marie explained how they might need extra distraction for the man, which was why she was there - Scarlett didn't exactly like this plan, but she still went through with it. While her and Kiara were doing this, the others were going to sneak in to steal a drone that they planned to use to find the Royal Merchant.
