The Boy I've Always Wanted

Chapter 6: Is It Really Pink?

~Nathalia

I was completely humiliated in front of Charlie and his father, Eric. Mom was not there at home, she's probably at work, doing this million dollar design for Ms. Finley's wedding which is next week. I ended up ordering some pizza because little do I know yesterday was the day off of our housekeepers. Eric would randomly ask us some questions like how do we even started dating, (in my dreams) i would like to answer. Charlie won't even speak because he said he's not good at lying. I did all the talking and he did all the eating. I wish my seat would swallow me out of my lies yesterday.

Now, I'm at Mary-Ann's condominium waiting for her to finish all her make up and her hair. We're going through this scheme that she said to me and of course it's related to boys again. I said "yes" in a condition as long as it didn't involve breaking in or worse killing someone. I also said as long as I would be home at 6 for Charlie tutoring me. She would laugh at me. She's taking for a while it's been a while for Pete's sake! I decided to break inside her room. I saw her wearing her light blue pencil dress which made me realized how beautiful she is. 

"You're impossible! I can't believe you're still smacking gum even when wearing make up." I said. I put my hand below her chin asking her to spit it out from her mouth.

She spit it out onto my hand, which is normal because we've known each other for so long. "I can't help it, it makes me more confident and I'm just nervous right now." She said. 

"You know we can back out off this scheme." I said hoping just hoping she'll change her mind.

"I need to prove that Edward would cheat on Annie!" She said

"I know he wouldn't!" I said but not so confident. Edward is no serious on Annie. 

"Yes he would and we need to find out before it's too late." Mary-Ann said putting on her red lipstick.

"Okay, tell me why do you need to wear all of this?" I asked her referring to all her excessive make up and expensive dress which I know is from her own line.

"Are you kidding me Nathalia?! Of course we need to look classy when we caught him smooching with another girl." Mary-Ann said finishing her hair.

"This looks wrong to me it looks like we're going behind Annie's back, my best friend's back!" I said

"No it's for her own good." She said handing me a phone.

"What am I going to do with this?" I asked still confused of what is happening.

"I bought a new phone for this scheme and Edward wouldn't know that it's us messaging him. I got this all planned just follow my lead." She said "First of, you said you want to help me and by that you would help me by texting him." She continued smiling from ear to ear.

"I can't believe you waist money for this but What am I going to say?" I said and then the phone beeps. Someone texted on a random number and said: "Hey, Mystery Girl where are we going to meet up?"

I looked up at Mary-Ann and said "Someone texted." 

"That's Edward, you idiot!" She said "Now, all you need to do is reply on every message he says until we reached him and kick his ass." She said 

"What do I reply?" I said

"Just think about this question... "What do whores do?"" She said.

"That means I need to act like I'm a slut?" I asked her.

"Yes." 

"Why can't you do it?" I asked again

"Because I need to do some other stuff, you said you wanna help?" Mary-Ann said

"Alright." I sighed. I lay down her bed and reply thinking "What do whores do?" repeating on my mind. I texted back and the conversation continues...
