astro: ..i want to help her
draya: yea yea, that game again *she fake yawns as she continues laughing*
astro: its not a game... she was in a bad place
draya: and you care so much?
astro: ya
*she smacks him in the head and he looks angrily at her, but relaxes*
draya: who is she Caesar? WHO. IS. SHE? WHAT? my fucking competition, you wanna replace me now?*she raises her voice, everyone outside the room could hear they were arguing.*
astro: YOUR fucking delusional always with the dramatics! want your award now? is that what?
draya: and you wonder why i dont wanna fuck you anymore, too busy sticking your knickers everywhere else
astro; if thats what you wanna believe then fucking believe!
draya; fine i do!
astro; you fucking psycho!He puts his hand up at her, and they look at eachother angrily. He grabs her neck throwing her against the wall, he stares her down and goes in to kiss her while choking her as she's gasping for air, they start fucking like animals against the wall.
Aris can hear them in the next room, she stays up drawing pictures of different faces and eyes. shes starting to get some creativity again
the next day
Astro texts Aris to get dressed. She gets super excited to go out and see the city. she gets dressed wearing the same clothes as yesterday, shorts, a T-shirt, long socks. She washed them this morning when she woke up to get that yesterday smell off her.
Aris meets them in their room, Draya is laying on the bed and greets her when she walks in, but barely looks up from her phone. Astro's in the mirror brushing his hair. When she notices what she's wearing her face turns.
draya: you dont have....any other clothes??
*she looks her up and down*
Aris: i- i didnt really have anything when i left
draya: ya family just let you-
astro: ALRIGHT. the cars waiting for us downstairs, yea?He looks at draya scoldingly, he comes up behind her, pinching her and draya laughs it off looking directly at Aris. Aris laughs too nervously. They follow astro downstairs and the driver opens the door for them to get in. Draya sits in the middle. First, they go to the mall and look around. Anything Draya sees that she wants astro gets it for her. Aris is happy see all the different stores and boutiques they have, she likes the cool sights they check out. She didn't want anything even though they keep telling her its okay to get something.
They stop by a jewelry shop and draya picks out a nice rolex for herself. Aris looks around seeing all the beautiful shiny pieces when draya calls her over. astro's getting his jewelry cleaned and talking to the girl at the counter.
Draya: like dis?
Its a diamond necklace with a triangle on it.
Aris: it's beautiful
*she shrugs lightly*
Draya: ASTRO
*he looks at them*
draya: come 'ere
*he walks over and she shows it to him*
astro: you like?
Aris: it's beautiful, i mean i dont really wear jewelry, but i like...love it
*she says as draya eyes her menacingly*
astro: try on, yea?
*he calls the jeweler over for them to take it out the glass box, they try it on her and draya smiles at her*
draya: it looks stunning on you, tell her
*she nudges astro*
astro: yea get it
*she eyes Aris and astro goes to get their stuff*draya: you think youll fit in here little bird?
Aris: i dont know, im just here now.
draya: i can make you fit in, you'd have to be like me though
Aris: ... hm...yea?Aris smiles and laughs at her nervously. The tensions really awkward and Draya touches her hair.
draya: sooooo.....different... *she laughs, Aris laughs awkwardly*
draya: you dye your head lots?
Aris: sometimes, when im bored
draya: you must get bored ALL the time, your IG you have bout 50 shades yea?
Aris: *laughs* ...yea i guess
draya: hm..how is your head not tired? MY GOD. *she laughs touching it again*
draya: atleast your not completely ugly, so you can do things like that *she laughs nudging her, Aris does a small chuckle*
draya: so were gonna get some clothes, ill take you to my favorite shop, yea?
Aris: yeaDraya smiles at her so she slightly smiles back.
Once they leave the jewelry store, Draya leads them to the next spot. They go to some luxury designer stores and she picks out all of Aris' new outfits and makes her try them on, telling her this is how she'd have to wear it and what to wear it with. She likes simple tight small cocktail dresses, with cut outs. Astro watches as draya is dominating all the conversations and telling her what to do. Aris starts to feel accepted by draya liking her attention seeing she's not so bad she has a dark sense of humor just like her.
astro: dresses look good on you yea?
*drays cheers excitedly*
draya: you look so fucking hot! your bods damn near perfection!
*Aris smiles at both of them happily as they look at her like a project, she touches her hair nervously as they both check her out. Astro grabs her hand forcefully and puts it to her side eyeing her. draya plays in her hair looking her up and down.*draya: you wear anxiety like a damn dress, innit?
After all the shopping they go out for dinner. Draya starts all the conversations questioning her intensely about her life, Aris answers all the questions, openly. every time she replies it seems to her Draya is making fun of her. she repeatedly compares their lives, laughing about how she basically hasn't accomplished much at her age except graduating. She brags how she had accomplished so much by that age. She had moved out at 16, after blowing up on tiktok and moving to London to live with a friend she met online. Now she has multiple successful businesses, million dollar brand deals and her own luxury condo in the city. Aris basically knows her whole life story, before she could finish hers. The only thing she hadn't mentioned were her parents, while she interrogates Aris about her parents eluding to how they weren't that good of parents if she ended up here. Astro interjects changing the course of the questions.
astro: you like girls, dont you?
Aris: iiii... *laughs* i don't define my sexuality but-
astro: thats not.....*he shakes his head*..its a yes or no, lets be simple huh?
Aris: ...uh yea. yea i do
astro: hm.. hear that?
draya: i hear her *she sips, looking her up and down*
astro; lets get a round of shots, hm?
*he laughs and Aris groans*
astro: youll drink for me tonight innit?
Aris: as long as theres other candy..
*he winks at Aris and laughs*
astro: im the candy man, huh? *he smirks*
draya: oh you do drugs?
Aris: yea..sometimes..when i wanna feel out my body
draya; oh. i only drink......
*theres a silence*
draya: ill try it sometime though...They get back to the suite that night faded, they were all making jokes the whole way back so they were laughing, uncontrollably. They fit together like an improv show. Aris' about to go lay down, but Astro asks her where shes going, still laughing.
