Fame And Desire

Gianna

Justin agreed to let Ursula meet me. I was disgusted with what I'd done but I knew not calling him would lead to complications.

Vincent and I packed my things into the new house. It was quite presentable and right by his.

Bibi would be so comfortable here.

An hour later ,I called Tyron to agree on condition that I come with my best friend.

He agreed to pick me up as I gave him directions.

" For once Gigi please don't wear sweatpants" Vincent begged for the tenth time as he watched me up and down.

He had been sneaking around buying me dresses but I refused them all if they weren't jeans or sweatpants.

" Okay fine how about jeans"

He sighed and picked out one with a designed strip at the thighs and knees.

I nodded and he added a matching top.

" You really should go into Fashion too" I complimented .

" Well I would ,if my chosen model will agree to wear everything I want to exhibit and not be so stubborn" he snapped.

" Geez, im honored to be your stubborn model"

We both laughed.

The unpacking wasn't complete but we agreed for me to go and come.

A knock on the door signalled Ursula's arrival.

I could hear Vincent gasp when he opened the door.

She was in a  very ,and I repeat very very tight dress,her face caked with makeup.

We didn't utter a word as we stared at each other.

" Hi" she finally said.

" Sï ,ughhh no hello" Vincent stammered.

I half giggled where from the Spanish.

" Tyron will be here any moment " I assured her and Vincent offered her a seat, tripping over every unpacked box.

" Vincent could you please arrange the things in the bedroom for me"

" Oh yeah" he said and gave me a nod.

A car honking dawned that Tyron was here.

Picking up my phone I gestured Ursula up.

" Are you wearing this" she asked disgusted.

" Yes"

I simply replied and she snorted, swaying her hips to the car.

The jeans were too tight around my hips and showed all my curves. I frowned .

. Tyron met us at the door way and smiled at me.

" Meet Ursula my bestie" I said.

" Nice meeting you handsome" she held out her hand and batted her eyelashes.

Ugh!

Ursula put on pair of glasses as soon as we entered the estate. I knew that it wasn't just any ordinary glasses.
The modern one with cameras.

Nedra Russell stood in front of the house and I was shocked at just how  young she looked.

Tyron got out and opened the door for me, leaving Ursula to fend for herself.

He offered his hands and I placed mine in his as we walked to his mother. My hands were visibly shaking so Tyron gave it a squeeze.

" You must be Gianna, you're one beautiful girl"
The first time someone had seen me and not get the impression that I dressed like a boy or I was a boy. I smiled .

" Yes Ma'am,this is also my best friend Ursula"

Ursula had taken her phone out and acted as if she was texting but I knew she was taking pictures of the mansion and of Nedra. Couldn't she use only the glasses.

She sighed and came over to shake Nedra's hand.

" Let's go inside" Tyron gestured and I allowed myself to be slipped in with ease.

" Gosh you're beautiful," I remembered Tyron's brother from high school senior year.

I only smiled.

" Now let's get to dinner" Trisha Russell exclaimed and led us to the huge dining room. I couldn't help but look around. It was huge. The house itself was gigantic and I heard every member had a house as a gigantic as this.

Ursula excused herself to the bathroom and came back. My heart clenched in guilt. I was betraying this beautiful family because of my greed for Fame and my personal reasons.

The food placed before me was something I'd never seen before. My stomach gave a low rumble at my hunger and I blushed. Tyron rushed under the table and took my hand in his.

I smiled.

Questions thrown at me were answered by Tyron.

" What about your parents" Duncan Russell asked

" I er....I haven't seen them since I was five,I live with my Aunt" that was the truth.

They nodded and proceeded to eat.

The pain in my stomach was becoming worse again.

Please don't disgrace me here too.

I pleaded with my inner self.

I watched as they took out fork and knives and began eating. I'd never than that before. Heck I've never had a proper dinner since I was a child.

I sighed and took them out,my hands shok. Trisha watched me from the corner of her eye.

The knife kept slipping out of my hand and at the last straw...it fell down and half stubbed my toe. I let out an embarrassing Yelp.

" Are you okay?" Ursula asked.

" I need to go to the bathroom"

" Let me show you" Ursula got up.

" Don't worry I will" Tyron  volunteered.

He took my hand and led me there. I entered and clenched my stomach and sobbed.

" What's wrong"

" Nothing"

" Gigi, tell me what's wrong"

"I..I've never seen this much food before and I haven't eaten  with fork and knife before but your family seem smitten by it and I feel like an embarrassment"

" Oh come on you're not, okay I brought you here for dinner not to please them"

Tyron pulled me up and hugged me.

It felt nice for him to me since I've never been before. My heart felt things it had never before and I felt guilty for leading him on but I had no option. If Bibi died I won't be able to live again.

He smothered my hair and placed a kiss to my cheek. I blushed. All this was new .

"I know you're been forced to do all this because of me but I won't be bothered if you don't show any affection when we're alone,after all this is not real" I was lying. I wanted him to kiss me,to hold me.

He sighed.

" Honestly Gianna ,I don't feel this is fake . To me I  see us to be real and I want you to realize that someday"

Who was he and what did he do with the Tyron Russell I knew.
