Philophobia

chapter 3

Eliana's makeup for the ball:

Eliana's POV:

"Something is burning madam." i lifted my head from my book and look at Cassandra questioningly.

"What is burning ?" I asked to her. "Oh shit !" I quickly put my book aside and start running to kitchen from backyard.

I totally forgot about the brownies. While i was running I shouted Sofia to come downstairs from her bedroom.

"What the fuck El ?" she shouted while coming to the kitchen.

"How could you forget?" i asked her looking at the brownies. They were black, just black.

"How could you forget ?" she asked me sassily.

I look at her rolling my eyes. She get one piece and bite it. As expectedly she threw it out.

"How was it ?" i asked smirking.

"Fucking delicious." she said like it was the most obvious thing.

" We need to give one piece to Ginevra." i said excitedly.

She get one piece and wrapped it in tissue, we start to walk towards library where Gin was most of the time.

Sofia give the 'brownie' to me and start walking behind me.

"Hello there my dearest mother." i said grinning like the joker.

Ginevra looked at us , trying to understand what was happening.

"The honor is all yours." i whispered to sofia before giving her the thing.

"Mother , so we baked for you and dad. This is our new recipe and it's brownie, your favorite. But to make the experience a whole better one , you should close your eyes and only feel the taste with your taste buds." she said knowingly.

This girl knew how to act.

Ginevra closed her eyes waiting for Sofia to put the piece in her mouth. After she had the piece , she start eating it slowly.

She opened her eyes glaring at us. She get up and start walking to the bathroom while we started laughing.

"We better get ready." Sofia said before she hold my hand and dragged me to her closet.

"What should i wear El?" she asked me while getting all the dresses that she saw and throwing them to the floor.

I started picking up each dress that she throw, not wanting to seem like spoiled brats to the maids.

Our maids needed to change once a month , dad thinks that they shouldn't stay here long enough to understand that we were in dark business which i thought was clever.

"That's it!" she shouted, holding a red dress.

It was honestly so beautiful , a silk red dress. Silk was something that could make everything look class and genuinely pretty.

"It's so pretty." i said mesmerized by the dress. "So this is it , right?" she asked me unsure.

I nod my head , giving her my approval. She bend down to the shoe boxes and took one which had the writing 'Versace' on it. She opened the box and revealed a white heel which was classy yet pretty in the same time.

"And i could combine it with a few silver jewelry." she said more like talking to herself.

"A red lipstick would done it." i said and start walking to my room.

"Get your stuff either , let's get ready in my room." I shouted to her which she replied with a 'okay'.

I opened the box that was on my bed , waiting for me to open it. There was the dress that i was going to wear tonight. I lifted it to clearly see it. It was clearly black but not silk. Was it revealing? Yea it indeed was. But it is not a problem since i know that i can carry it.
