"I'm so happy, you agreed to come," Gina stated, walking with Sally towards the five starred restaurant.

"Yeah Jamie took a lot of convincing put I pulled it off. Made me swear that I would watch out for you too," she said, raising a perfectly manicured brow.

Gina rolled her eyes. "I don't need you watching out for me. I perfectly capable of handing myself."

Sally flashed her an unconvinced look that had Gina staring down at her flatly. "Seriously?"

Sally stopped and sighed, dropping her shoulders in the process. "I believe that you're working on it but there's still the Gina rebellious Gray still in there."

Gina scoffed. "Ofcourse there is and there will always be because it'll always be apart of who I am but you don't see me walking around fucking random guys or drinking drunk, do you?" she challenged.

Sally's lips curled. "Well you're right and I'm happy that you're done with all that," she said as her red lips stretched and introduced teeth. "Come on, I'm actually eager to meet Tina's fiancé. I bet they're much alike," she chuckled, walking ahead, her little black dress hugging her slender hips and putting her lengthy legs on display.

Gina smiled as she followed behind, though not admitting her eagerness, she was very much enthused to see the woman who was behind Tina's love story. Hers on the other hand had gone tense when she had refused to hold a solid conversation with Knox ever since Lisa's big reveal. She just thought there was so much going on with little space for processing.
After Gina had explained things to Sally days ago, she had quickly agreed that it wasn't a right time for Lisa's visit and reassured Gina that if she in fact came, the guestroom at her house would be available for Gina to stay. While Gina had laughed at that at the time, the idea didn't seem so bad after she had given it much thought.

Stepping inside, Gina adjusted the hem of her red, backless bodycon dress and tucked a rebellious strand of hair behind her diamond-studded ear.
The inside of the affluent-looking building was just as impressive as the vallet-aided parking on the outside, giving off a welcoming feeling that extended to the hanging lamps and the subtle sound of classical music. The smell varied from airy, mixing with the mouthwatering smell of fine cuisine and the jarring scent of expensive perfumes.
Though elegant with an obvious effort placed in the decor, both Gina and Sally didn't seem completely captivated by the scenery. With their status and liefstyle, this only seemed mediocre.

As soon as their gazes began to scan for signs of Tina, they spotted her moving towards them with a full blown smile.

"I was just about to call you guys," she said, taking turns to hug them both.

"Tina, you look...great!" Gina complimented. "I love the new hair," she said, her gaze sweeping over the Mohawk haircut, that curled softly in the middle. Big hoop earrings framed her small face along with the trail of tiny studs that curved her entire ear. She wore minimal makeup and a soft peach lipgloss that Gina thought went well with her skin tone.
Gina's gaze lowered to Tina's loose long sleeved top that had a few buttons open, hinting at her cleavage that sparkled a necklace. Completing the look was a matching black seam pant and short heels.
