Chance Encounters

Chapter 6

  I walk back in to my room with my hair dripping and the  towel wrapped around me. When Piper lifts her head and sees me she yawns,leaps off the bench and out the room. I hear her tags jingle as she skampers down the hall. A short silence is followed by Sam talking in a baby voice and i assume the dog went in her room.

  After Im dressed I wrap a dry towel around my shoulders so I can do my hair. I brush it until its only slightly wavy. I blow it dry then flat iron it so its more managable. I adjust the temperature on my curler and make bob curls all the way around. The curls start just above my ear so the top of my head only has the straight hair on it.

" Well,well are you meeting bosses or going on a date?"

I turn to see Emmi with her hands on her hips and Sam silently poking her head over the door frame to look at me.

  " I see you,girl dress to impress- or in your case seduce." says Emmi with a raised brow

  " I like it, catches the eye and i assume if the boss is male he'll offer instantly." Sam says it with a straight face which makes me laugh a bit

  " well, i guess if  she's going for the sexy secretary of a married man then she's good." Emmi says devilishly

  " aww come on, Em you found married bosses!?" complains Sam

Sam has moved now so i can see all of her as she faces Emmi. Emmi is wearing a green strapless high low dress with a wide silver necklace made of small squares and her shoes are silver heels with an ankle strap. she wears three bangles on each hand- two silver and four green.

  Sam is wearing a sky blue dress with a mid thigh slit on one side. she wears a black necklace with a tiny black heart on it. her heels are black and criss cross all the way up her foot.

  They go down the hall messing with eachother. I turn back to the mirror and put a black and red gem rose piece in my hair. I put on two small rose shaped stud earrings and a red choker necklace with a tiny rose on the side.My dress has one shoulder strap( its more like wavy fabric than a strap) which goes on the side like a falling bra strap. The dress is red and falls smoothly over my waist and thighs and stops at my knees.

I walk back to my room and slide on my red and black heels.I go back in to the bathroom to quickly brush my teeth before i leave and spray some perfume on my collar.I grab my small red clutch then jog to the stairs.

" You ready?" asks Emmi

  " Yep." i  nod and walk in to the room to sit

I notice Shane is wearing a t- shirt and shorts. Hes watching tv like he has nothing to do.

  " Is Shane coming?" i ask indicating to him with a slight nod

" I have a job,southerner i dont need to go looking for a new boss," he says not taking his eyes off the tv

" and why ask Emmi if  your question was about me, is that a Georgia thing, not acknowledging the person your asking the question about?"

I scowl and grab a pillow.I stand and walk to the couch and smack him a good four times with the pillow.

  " what the hell is wrong with you!?" Shane says covering his face with one hand and smoothing his hair with the other.

 

  I bend down next to him calmly and smile with my hand out to be shaken " Hi there,Im Melody i dont like it when people talk about my home state because they are too close minded to go anywhere out of their state and next time i can introduce myself with something harder than a pillow- like a book."

  "Kay kay?" i smile at him sweetly

He looks confused and a little scared with that ' this bitch is crazy and weird' look. I stand and look at the kitchen where Sam smiles around her straw in a smoothie and Emmi sits on the bar stool looking at us. I watch Shane turn and ask her with his eyes ' why didnt you do anything!!??'

 

" you had it coming you were being.an ass and not the good kind where it can be sexy at the same time and quite frankly wouldve done the same thing earlier if i didnt have to drive."

the doorbell sounds and Emmi jumps out of the bar chair and heads to the door.Emmi comes back and tells us its time to go. Shane gives me another glance before i leave behind Sam. when i step outside my jaw drops, parked on the curb is a limosine and the chaufer is holding the door open for us. I step in and look at Emmi.

She shrugs " gotta look the part and besides we're eating at a pretty swanky place, but the CEOs are paying so i could afford this, no problem."

I look out the window "i guess this is a good start to my new life, I feel famous."

" No shit, tonight is big," Sam says eyes wide " and besides if it does go bad we can always go get you drunk and see what you do ( apparently im a hilarious drunk,but i never remember and they never tell me what i do)." she adds with a wink

"whatever" i smile before looking back out the window at the night sky.
