Tan Lines

Eira's pov

I peeked out from the door and found Jasper on his laptop with his therapist on the living room couch. Slowly I shut the door and dialed Amara's number.

She picked up at second ring but I wished I had never video called. "hello sweetheart" she slipped a shirt over her head.

"I am sorry I had an early morning sea side shoot"

"It's okay. I called you to let you know we had arrived and settled in fine yesterday. And today we have planned on exploring the beaches"

"Good. I have arranged bikinis for you, they must be in the last portion of your wardrobe," I glared at her as there was no need to arrange bikinis. "I know you don't think there is any need to pack those but on a beach trip bikinis are a must. So go and find yourself a perfect bikini"

"Amara you never told me why you arranged this trip"

"Doesn't matter. You'll know by the end of it. Go and get ready and then tell me how Jasper reacts to it"

"He is on video call with his therapist. Apparently he had a session booked and I don't think it was good to skip it. So after a lot of battle he is in living room"

"Okayyyyyyy. But still we need to get you ready. Open the door" I opened the part of wardrobe Amara was talking about and in front of me was a row of bikinis. "Pull out that black one" I pulled out the black she was talking about.

"No. Too modest. How about that red one" I pulled it out next. But Amara didn't like it as well.

"That blue one," I pulled out a navy blue one, "no not this blue. The other one with colorful flowers on it"

"This one?"

"Yes. Yes. This one. Eira this one is perfect. All the men will be looking at you" I examined the bikini and smiled. I was past worrying about how modest my clothes were and what people were going to say. Strip club had done a lot to me.

"I am calling back in ten minutes and then I'll check how you look" I smiled and cut the call before getting ready. Wearing the string bikini and the oulling my hair into two Dutch braids I exude confidence. I liked this new look.

My phone began to ring and I picked the call almost immediately hoping it was Amara but the face that pulled up was so unexpected. Mama.

"What the hell is this Eira?" She glared at me as she saw me all dressed up in a bikini which was so revealing. "Why are dressed up like a hooker" if only she knew how I managed to give them a roof.

"I am at beach mother. And people wear bikinis all the time" she sighed

"Fine. I called to ask you when you will be coming for Christmas. You never told us so I thought of calling you"

"I am not coming," disappointment on her face made me weak for a passing moment but I didn't think about it. "I am in Brazil and will come before New year"

"Who are you with?" It was after very long she was showing any interest in my life but it was too late. I had gone too far to come back.

"Just some friends" she nodded and then we had nothing to talk about. So I hung up and called Amara myself who got busy with her fiance.

"Ohhhhh. You look hot" she exclaimed as soon as she saw what I was wearing. "How many men are you going to drop today"

"I hope only my joke of a brother" Nate said from behind the camera.
