IRIS

Chapter Four

Recap
     I went back to my sitting room and laid on the couch to take a 7 minute nap. Seven minutes turned into one hour......

IRIS POV

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

      "Open the damned door! God open the door Iris! Now now now!!!!" someone screamed. I shot up immediately and wondered who the voice belonged to.

       "Oh lord if I get you Iris, you're gone! Dead! Over!Destroyed!" the voice yelled again. I immediately recognized the voice and ran to the door.

      "obliterated! Canned into sardin-" I opened the door revealing a very, I repeat, a VERY pissed looking Ivy staring at me. If looks could kill...  "Where the fuck have you been?!"she yelled "I've been banging on that door for over 15minutes" what!!?

       "What are you talking about? I was only asleep for 7 minutes" I replied.

        "So you're telling me the time would be 7:57  right now?" she questioned. I nodded. She then showed me her phone, I looked at the screen and widened my eyes '8:30'.

     
         "hrrmph!" she stormed inside.

         "I'm sorry Ivs, I over slept, I don't even know what is happening to me anymore. Why didn't you call?"

          "No shit Sherlock, I've called you a gazillion times and it all went to your voicemail. You know how I feel about tardiness" she answered. I felt a pang of guilt pinch at my heart. Ivy is a wacko but she really hates being late to any event, be it a wedding ceremony or a burial service, she would rather come early and wait for everyone to arrive than to walk in late and be the center of attention. She hates attention seekers.

         "I'm so-" "just keep it for now"she interrupted. "We need to focus on getting ready right now" she added while going up the stairs and entered my bedroom. Ouch.
         I made my way to the kitchen, brought out a cup added 5  scoops of ice-cream into it, she usually eats only 3 scoops but the two extra are for me, we are what you call the 'great foodies'. I took two spoons and hid mine before exiting the kitchen and made my way up the stairs and into my bedroom.

        Ivy was sitting at my mirror doing her make up when I got on my knees and presented her the ice-cream. "Forgive me! For I shall never make a grave mistake like that" I begged in a deep accented voice. You see, that was a thing we created for when we get upset with one another. Ice cream is presented as the offering and the deep accented knight like voice is just to add some humor into it and make us laugh so we could forget why we were mad at each other.

        She got up and took the ice cream from my hands and said "apology.....Denied"

       "Hey! No fair" I protested.

        She chuckled.

        "I was joking Ri, no need to get your panties in a bunch" I fake gasped. "You leave my underwear out of this" I said. She shrugged and sat back down then I brought out my spoon and dived into the ice cream. She scowled at me playfully before she gave me everything to finish.

         After finishing the ice cream, I went to my closet to pick out my outfit. I finally found my favorite black dress, it was a fitted dress which accentuated all my curves. It had a heart shaped neckline. This dress was made for really curvy women, and fortunately for me I am one. I got my curves from my mother, I really missed her, her laugh,her voice, her love for my father. Their love was one of true passion and dedication. They didn't bother to hide their love for each other around me and my brother, in fact  I caught them once making out on the kitchen counter. It was really gross but also heart melting. I wonder if I would ever find love like theirs. I held the silver locket on my neck, an habit I picked up when I start to think about them.
