        LAILA'S POV

It only took me ten minutes to arrive at the restaurant. I carefully scanned the crowd but didn't see Tania anywhere. Walking over the the only empty corner table in the room, I shrugged off my jacket pulled out a chair.

I had sat down and started to wait for Tania when a waiter came and stood in front of my table. He always served me every time I went there, although most of the time I hung out with my sister. She'd be mad at me if I told her I came here all alone.

"Hello ma’am," he greeted, pulling me away from my thoughts.

"You left your partner today?" The waiter asked me and I glanced up at him. He smiled, his eyes wrinkling in the corners and his dimples showing. Even his nose crinkled up a bit, reminding me of a hamster.

"I know that the other fine lady you’re usually with is your sister, but don't ask how I know that. I'm not going to take much of your time.” He leaned in closer, his breath brushing the tips of my ear. Feeling awkward that this stranger was invading my personal bubble, I hastily pulled away. He was behaving very oddly.

"Don't be afraid of me. I think that your sister is a breathtakingly beautiful lady. Can you please give this to her?”  The waiter then placed a letter on the table before shifting away.
The letter was made of shiny ivory paper, thin yet silky to the touch. The waiter had sealed it with a classical red stamp shaped as a heart.

Wait, a heart stamp on a beautiful letter for my sister?
"I've been meaning to talk to her all this time, but I was never able to gather the courage. So, I decided to pen it down on paper so she would know just how I feel about her." I smiled, then looked up at him, and expression of pity taking over my face. What was he getting himself into?

"Are you absolutely certain that you want me to give it to her?” The waiter vigorously nodded his head in response. 

"Yes. I know this is inappropriate but I don't know how to approach her. She's always wearing a serious face and I rarely see her outside of the restaurant." He glanced at the counter then back to me.

Three fine girls entered the restaurant laughing and marched to the table right next to me. They were all in dresses, beautiful dresses, and the one in the red v-neck dress had the kind of figure Tania always talked about. I wished she was there.

Why was she taking so long?

"Tell me what I can get you, and quickly. My manager is in today, and I wouldn't want him to see me chatting with the customers. Order anything you’d like. The bill is on me, sister in law.” The waiter winked,  emphasizing on the last words. I laughed to myself and asked for a cup of cappuccino.

"So this is what happened,” one of the girls with the red dress spoke. As much as I didn't want to eavesdrop on their conversion, they forced me to. They were talking and laughing so loudly.

"Spill it already Regina. My patience is running out!” The other girl with red hair hollered at her friend.

"I tricked her into going for shopping with me to buy some lingerie. She accepted. That was so foolish of her!” Regina said, raising her eyebrows. A smirk began to form on her plump lips.
"Ooh, what happened next?” A third girl squealed in a high-pitched voice. She and her red-headed friend waited eagerly, their eyes wide and their chin resting on their hands.

"I chose a red one for her, then asked her to change. She entered the changing room but before she could dress up, guess what I did!” Regina questioned her friends in a sing-song voice. She waited expectantly for someone to take a guess:
"Oh! Did you decide to change the colour of the lingerie to pink? It’s my favourite colour,” the red-haired girl gushed, while admiring her long pink-tipped nails. But both of her friends turned to her with a scowl. Evidently that was not the answer they were expecting.

" No, why would I do something stupid like that!” Regina snapped, and the red-head tilted her head downwards. Peering closely, I even noticed that her eyes were watering a bit.

"I quickly entered the room and stole all her clothes as well as the lingerie I had given her!” Regina high-fived the third girl and they both squealed. I noticed that the red-haired girl didn’t look as excited anymore. In fact, she looked furious.

"What? Now why would you do that?" the red head turned to Regina and asked, concern leaking into her tone.

"That's how revenge works, honey. How many times do we have to teach you that?” She pursed her lips and continued playing with some keys in her hand.

The waiter went to the table for their orders but they all sized him up before sneering at him.
"What happened next? What did she wear? Jesus, I just wish I was there.” The group ignored the waiter and continued with their gossip.

"Shut up, Rita." Regina frowned, then continued.
"Well. After sometime, I waited for her to come out but she didn't. Then seeing another young man looking for somewhere to try his outfit, I directed him to the ladies changing room. He entered and when Lydia saw him…” Regina paused, and the other two girls covered their mouths in anticipation.

"Guess what she did?" Regina asked. The red-haired girl lifted her hand up and guessed what had happened.

"She grabbed the young man's outfit and wore-“  The red head stopped abruptly as both her friends turned to her with a scowl.

"No. So why then would we even be here?" her friend asked. She tried to speak but they shushed her again.

"What even startled me is that she had the guts to run outside, naked, covering her pussy with one hand. Her girls were pouring out of her other hand. They were so big and…” Regina paused as she waited to complete the sentence with her friends.

"Sagging and ugly!” The third girl concluded in unison with Regina, the both of them cackling evilly. At this spectacle, I couldn't contain my anger anymore.

"Is that what we were doing? You should have given me a sign,” the red-haired girl said, but they ignored her once again.

"How can you even have sagging ugly breasts when you haven’t even breastfed yet?" Regina stated loudly whilst adjusting her- fairly large- breasts.

" I mean, how?" She asked, still toying with her chest.

"Try breastfeeding, then you'll understand." The red head answered back.

"For me, I won't. I'll just buy my children canned milk. I can't stand to lose all this beauty. That girl is cursed with her saggy breasts. How does she even stand to look at herself in the mirror?" They laughed obnoxiously not knowing how much their words hurt me.

"Poor old woman,” the third girl stated, not sounding sympathetic at all.

"No, you mean poor old witch,” Regina corrected, and they giggled loudly again. I quickly rose from my seat and grabbed Regina's neck and started chocking her. They tried to pull me from her but I clenched her neck tightly.

"Stop her! She’s going to kill her! Please stop,” her friends shouted, their hands waving in the air,  but I couldn't control myself anymore. It was like someone -or something- else was living in my body. That thing took over, pulling the deck lace tighter against Regina’s skin. Her eyes watering but I still wouldn’t let go even though I wanted to.
I was too far gone.

Someone grabbed my hands tightly and pulled me away from her, turning me towards him.
My jaw dropped to the ground, while my chest rose and fell continuously. I was panting, but I couldn’t process the sight in front of me.

When did he get here?
