Vivian River

I woke up to a argument between Adri and Chris over who was the strongest. "Vivi my muscles are much bigger right!" Chris wined as he flexed his muscles.

"No you fat shit mine is." Adri flexed his muscles in my face. I tried to picture both of their arms side to side. "Um it looks the same." I whispered.

They both groaned and walked out at my stupid answer. Enzo walked into the room after his shower. His hair was dripping and he was shirtless. He had joggers on which exposed his v-line.

I could slightly see his tattoo sticking out. "My eyes are up here sweetheart." He smirked at me. I quickly pulled my eyes up to his eyes.

"Shut up." I cooed giggling. I got off the bed and walked towards him wrapping my arms around his large body. He was really warm.

"Vivia?" He whispered to me. I looked up to him looking nervous as ever. "Get ready at 7pm tonight I want to take you um- some place special."

I smiled at his attempt to be romantic "Sure." He placed a kiss on my lips. It was a little longer than usual but hey I wasn't complaining!

"Get your nails and hair done today." He handed me his black amex card and slapped my ass so I get a move on. I giggled and took a shower and got dressed.

I wore some baggy jeans alongside a tight tee. I walked out the house and drove to the salon. I was thinking of getting layers and my hair to be brunette. My hair was long as it was, and it was a dark brown. But I wanted a more lighter brown.

As the lady did my hair she questioned me a lot. She asked about my school life and my exams. I hadn't been to school for a while nor did I talk to any of my school friends.

I mean des only. I never was the type to make friends. To be honest I used to have quite a few but I ended up leaving them because they wanted to go shopping with my Dad's amex too much.

I had a fake life at school. I hated schools guts. I decided to text Des. I hadn't texted her in months. She was my best friend I guess but after everything she had been quite distant.

"Hey Des, How have you been?" I asked over the phone. I heard a couple moans and whines until Des spoke breathlessly "Fuck Vi, you're gonna cockblock my man I'll talk to you later baby."

I rolled my eyes at her "Love you bye." She moaned a little then spoke "Love you so much more Vi." I laughed at her stupidity and just waited for the hair dresser to be finished.

The hairdresser was a old short lady who was extremely friendly. She told me how she owned a small flower shop and dreamed of owning a dance studio.

She told me how she used to be a dancer when she was 20. She wanted to go professional but she broke her leg at 24 and couldn't walk for a good 4 years. After that incident most people wouldn't take her in because she was seen as too fragile.

After a long 2 and a half hours she finished my hair. God it looked so good. She played around with my hair and got a few finishing touches and then she let me go. I tried to pay but she kept denying.

"God no I have got to pay!" I insisted. She started to run around the area with the paying machine. I placed £500 on her desk "Thank you!" and walked out. Then I started to drive towards the nail salon.

I bickered with myself as to what nails I should get. I wanted to go for an almond with a sexy red but I debated against it and went for classic frenchies.

I entered the salon and was hit by a strong musk. It smelt of an arab sort of smell you know? Dhalia kind of smelt like this to be honest, she's got these great perfumes that she brought back from Saudi Arabia.

I feel like everyone had their own great things they brought from their countries. For example Kai and his lovely hair products from Bangladesh. God I stole them like a million times now.

I was soon greeted by an east asian man who smiled a little too much. He sat me down at his station and inquired me as to what nails, what shape, what's the day.

I didn't really care I just responded so that I'd get this over with faster. He got to work quickly filing and buffing my nails. He only took 30 minutes and he completed it.

I was quick surprised with his fast work and left him a £300 tip. He squealed in excitement and thanked me many times. He did that japanese thank you gesture which was so adorable.

I giggled as I assured him he deserved every single pence. I walked out and decided on a new dress. Since Enzo seemed quite stressed with the date I thought I should at least show up as pretty!

I drove to the Russo's mall where they sold many dresses. One of my favourite places being Lahore's Lovelies. I loved the name and all. It was owned by a pakistani couple.

I walked in to see them conversing in what seemed to be quite romantic, a couple giggles coming from her. Shortly behind me another girl walked in. She looked Hawaiian to be honest.

I walked around to find dresses, most of the dresses weren't my cup of tea. I came across a few long ones, a few short ones. One's that my but cheeks would hang out from.

I soon layed eyes upon a dark red ruffled dress. It had straps that would sit on the side of my arms. And it had no back. I hummed to myself as I saw the couple walk towards me.

"How can we help." She spoke in a strong south asian accent with a large smile on her face. "I'm thinking of this dress, however I want it more tight fitting."

She held up the dress to me and saw it was a little loose by my waist. "I can sew for you?" She quickly grabbed a sewing machine. "Oh God no! I couldn't ask in such short notice. Please I'll find another." I quickly searched for another dress.

"Nonsense! Come here." She walked me over to her station and took my measurements. She assured me it'll only be half an hour but I let her know she could take 10 hours and I'd still wait.

I walked around the mall to search for a matching bag and jewellery. "Mrs River, what are you doing here alone?" A security guard questioned looking concerned.

"Being Lorenzo Russo's girlfriend, trust me I've always got eyes watching me." I winked laughing as he chuckled. I walked off and paid for my jewellery and made it back into the store where the couple stood waiting for me.

I quickly took it and paid her an extra 1k for the inconvenience. She refused it multiple times but I told her I would be more than upset if she refused again.

Then I left the store to get ready for this date.
