End Game

Chapter 4

This chapter is dedicated to a very talented writer here on Wattpad. On her profile I found a qoute that made me want to actually put my ideas on paper.

"If there's a book you want to read, but it hasn't

been written yet, then you must write it."

Chapter 4

Cera pulled up to the café she and her sister's frequented the most. It was a small place that was locally owned and didn't get too much traffic. It allowed them to freely eat at whatever pace they wanted and without having to deal with a rush of customers. They used to come here with their mother when they were little. She would bring all her girls her for lunch on Saturday afternoons. She let them pick whatever they wanted from the grown up menu and let them eat until their bellies were full and they had smiles on their faces. Afterwards they would go home and build a fort out of bed sheets, blankets, and chairs for all of them to fall asleep in. When they got older the forts stopped but they still visited the café, even when their mother was unable to join them they still got together for lunch whenever their schedules allowed them to.

She went to the hostess station and let the girl know that she already knew where her party was seated. She could see her sisters talking amongst themselves as she walked over. She was the last to arrive of the four that was going to attend today.

Caprice looked up and saw that she was approaching the table. "Well look at the hermit. She's finally come up for air."

"Oh shut up bitch." Cera slipped into her seat as she named called.

"There are children at the table ladies," Cera's oldest sister chastised them.

"I've heard the word bitch before, CoCo. I actually use it quite frequently," Charisse, the baby of the Michaelson sisters, spoke up.

"Well the adults in your life should set a better example."

"You mean you and your sisters?"

"Shut up, Peanut Butta." Coletta called Charisse by the nickname that only her sisters were allowed to use. She didn't really care if anyone else heard it, but she would surely correct them if they tried to use it.

"Let's not fight on an empty stomach ladies, at least wait until after we order." Cera stopped the argument before it could really get started. She knew her sisters were most likely joking around, but she was serious about not wanting to hear any bickering on an empty stomach. They had called her here and made her leave her work to eat and that was what she intended to do.

Cera motioned for their waitress to come over and the women placed their orders. Coletta ordered a Cobb salad without the eggs. Caprice opted for steak fajitas with avocado while Charisse got a steak burger with grilled mushrooms and onions. Cera wanted penne pasta with a white wine cream sauce topped with grilled chicken and a side of steamed broccoli.

While they waited for their food the women talked about what was going on in each other's lives. Caprice talked about the new shoot she had coming up in Greece. Coletta described her new designs for her jewelry line and mentioned a few new clients that she wanted to introduce her sisters to. The topic soon switched to what was going on in Charisse's life the girls let her talk about the happenings in her school before the topic went to her birthday.

There was only a month until her sixteenth birthday and her big party. Her parents had given her permission to throw her party on their private beach. She had invited the whole school and made sure that everyone knew that no one was excluded. Charisse wasn't the most popular girl in school but she tried to not be one of the clique type girls that were mean to those who were less fortunate or popular than she was. She had a kind heart and couldn't stand to see someone left out for petty reasons.
