Chapter 8:Confessions...

Tera wakes up to find her sister drooling all over her pillows. She giggles and can't remember how long since they have done anything like this. Tera used to always hop into Stormy's bed when they were younger and in the middle of a thunderstorm. The girls' used to be so close when they were little until they started growing up and liking different things. Tera slides out of bed and hops in her shower. 

She thinks: I have to talk to Michael, wait Mr. Harvard this morning and tell him that I can no longer work for him after what happened yesterday.

Tera quickly washes her hair and cleans her face of the emotional ice cream stains from last nights binge eat.

Stormy hears the shower running and rolls over to find Tera out of bed. 

"You feeling better this morning Tera?" Asks Stormy as she slides out of her sister's bed.

Tera rinses out her hair, "Feeling heaps better. You working this morning?"

Stormy walks into her sister's bathroom and sits down on her closed toilet lid. 

"Nope, I have today off. But I am going to go in and see my boss today. To invite to the party."

Tera smirks, "Are you sure Toby will like it if your boss comes?"

Stormy snickers, "He wont care and who said my boss was coming for me. I could be trying to set him up with Bailey."

Stormy thinks: I don't want to set up Connor with Bailey. I want him all to myself. But I also want to be with Toby as well. Why do guys have to be so irresistible?

Tera turns the tap off and evaporates all the steam with her power. She hops out of the shower and turns to her sister, "Bailey, would love to be set up." Stormy rolls her eyes and leaves her sister's bathroom.

"You working this morning Tera?" Asks Stormy as she leaves her room.

Tera wraps her towel around her wet body, "Yeah I do but I'm quitting."

Stormy halts, "Quitting? Why?"

Tera can't tell her sister that she nearly slept with her boss; so she lies, "I don't think I'm cut out to be an assistant." Stormy can tell when her sister is lying but Tera will always come out with the truth eventually.

"Oh alright, maybe you could find something else you would like to do."

 Tera looks at her sister and gives her a smile as she tries to usher her out of the room. Stormy takes her sister's hint as she picks up the melted ice cream tub from beside Tera's bed.

Tera quickly changes into a nice coral blue blouse and a grey skirt; she puts her long red curly hair into a neat little bun. Tera stares at herself in the mirror and sees her mother's eyes looking back at her. She smiles and picks up her bag ready for her last day of work as Mr. Harvard's assistant.

Tera walks downstairs to find that Bailey had made what looks to be pancakes from scratched for breakfast. She takes a seat at the island bench, "You made us breakfast Bails?"

"Thought you would need it after what ever happened to you last night," says Bailey as she places a plate of pancakes in front of Tera.

Tera smiles and starts to eat the pancakes. She takes a few bites and wants to spit it straight out. But being the good friend she is, she stomachs it, "These are really good."

Bailey smiles and goes back to washing up the dishes. Tera pushes her plate towards Bailey and says, "I better leave for work. Need to talk to my boss first thing." She grabs her car keys out of her bag and heads off out of the apartment.
