Conflict of Interest

Chapter 10

Since I had promised Claire to take a day off work and go to Coney Island, we did exactly that. We got our nails and hair done and went out and had a great time. Being off work was new to me. I had hardly taken any days off so going out with my sister felt amazing. 

''So did you have a great time?'' I asked Claire as we walked into the apartment.

''Hell yeah! It was so fun! We should totally do this more often.'' Claire said while winking at me.

I rolled my eyes in a playful manner but smiled. ''Yeah we should, I'll try to take more days off then.'' I said.

''Really? Oh my God, I love you so much Es! You're the best!'' Claire exclaimed. She gave me a hug so enormous I thought I would burst! I didn't realize spending that some time with her made her so happy.

''Yeah yeah, love you too.'' I really did love Claire. Claire was pretty much all I had in New York. Our parents lived in Georgia and we don't see them too often. Claire is my responsibility in this big city and we both had to care of each other.

We both went to our rooms to take a shower and get dressed in our pajamas. After I was dressed in matching pink pajamas I went downstairs into the kitchen and got out a pint of rum raisin icecream and made my way to the couch to an awaiting Claire. 

''So you never told me how it went with that Giovanni guy?'' Claire said.

''Well I met up with him.'' 

''And? C'mon Es! Give me all the juicy, dirty details!'' she raised her eyebrows in a suggestive tone. I rolled my eyes before telling her everything that happened.

''Oh my God! Estelle's got a boyfriend! I can't believe it!'' Claire squealed.

I gave her a look, what does she mean she can't believe it? '''Well believe it sister.'' I huffed with my arms crossed.

''I didn't mean it like that Estelle,'' she said. ''I just couldn't believe you said yes!  I thought you would shy and away and say he was completely out of line and innappropriate! But you didn't! You go girl!'' she said as she lightly punched my arm.

I told her everything that happened and she kept on smirking the whole time. ''So when's your first date?'' she clapped her hands excitedly. ''Where's he taking you? What are you going to wear?''

''Erm, I'm not sure yet. He just said we have a date on Friday night. I guess he'll give me the details soon.'' 

''Well I'm happy for you Es, hopefully this will mean I'll end up being an aunt.'' she giggled.

-------------------------

The past few days went by in a blur, it was just me and Dimitri working on our caseload. We had so much work to do and so many trials to prepare for. Today was finally Friday and I couldn't wait for my date with Giovanni. We had texted each other a few times during the week but he was so busy with his various 'businesses' and so I was I with my job so the conversations weren't too long. 

As I stood in my walk-in closet, debating on what to wear Claire came in. Thank God.

''Ugh, I need your help Cee. I don't know what to wear!'' I said, exasperated.

''Go get your make-up and hair accessories ready while, I'll look for a sexy little number Es.'' she ordered as she looked through every dress, scrutinizing it.

I quickly obeyed and 15 minutes later I went back to check up on Claire who was holding a black dress with a evil look in her eyes.

''Uh, I don't think I could wear that.'' I said, my cheeks flushing pink. The dress wasn't revealing at all. It was a black dress that ended just above the knees and had two straps down the back. 

''Well you bought it for a reason Es. Now go take a shower and put this dress on while I look for suitable shoes.'' She laid the dress on my bed and put a hand on her hip looked at me expectantly. ''Well? We don't have all night, hurry up! After this I have to study for a test!'' she said and I quickly obeyed even though she was my little sister.

I quickly stepped into the bathroom and stripped down and got into my shower, turning on the faucet for warm water. I gathered some shampoo and washed my hair, and then lathered some lavender scented body wash. 

 After I spent another fifteen minutes in the bathroom, I stepped out and dried my body and hair. I went into my bedroom and saw my dress on the bed, blood red heels and a note. On the note, scribbled by Claire said;

went downstairs to make tea, when done with dress and shoes call me for hair and makeup - x C

I crumpled the note and threw it in the little trashbin and made sure my hair was completely dried. I put my champagne blonde hair in a messy bun and put on the dress and heels. I walked out my room and yelled at Claire to come up. 

She came up soon after, and her mouth dropped to the floor. ''Oh my God! This dress looks fucking hot on you!'' 

Before I could say anything else she whisked me away to my chair and started to do my makeup and then hair. 

When she was done she beamed at me and encouraged for me to look at myself in the mirror. Who I saw didn't resemble me at all. Claire had used some dark makeup to make my green eyes appear darker, and some dark red lipstick. My hair was pulled up in a tight bun which looked like a blonde and coffee ball on my head. The dress was form fitting, and the heels gave me an added height and just made me feel so sexy. Claire was right, I did look fucking hot.
