Gifted Vengeance

Six

My head ached as I woke up. At first I didn't know where I was everything was groggy. Then memories of last night hit me and I groaned.

I did it. I talked to the Elite Six and didn't back away from my fears. I can do this.

With that thought in mind I continued to get ready for the day. Dean had told me a lot of information last night. Most of it useless, but some I could use.

Amber was to be getting engaged. It was a set up marriage and apparently she was totally in love with someone else. Word has it she dumped the love of her life to be fully committed to her fiancé. I know Amber if she wants something she gets it. People are no different. She's most likely having an affair.

Damon's father is punishing Damon for his behavior and has told the public that if he doesn't settle down he will lose half his company. He didn't give him a timeline, but I knew that the expiration date was my birthday.

Alec apparently has a deal with his rival company. No one knows the details, but gossip says that they are looking into joining their companies to become one. I can't have that. That will make it so I have less of a hold in his company. I can't destroy it with only a third of it.

No one has anything on Jordon seems he's been the public's golden boy for the past two years. I know something that will bring him down though. I have all of his cards in my hands without even doing anything.

Courtney and Brittney are starting up a new business together. Bad news is I have no hand in that side of their business. I need someone on the inside of that. The business is apparently on the fashion side. Knowing them they're making the next "it" clothes if I can make them fail then they will no longer be considered the It girls.

I have ways to get to them all. Some harder than others and one so easy all I have to do is open my mouth and they'll drop. Timing is key. I have to be patient.

Getting dressed in a simple pair of skinny jeans and a tight fitted crop top. I wander to the dinning room to see a whole spread already prepared. I go to sit, Jeffrey helps by pulling my chair out, and pushing it back in when I sit.

I eat in silence along with my father.

Not long after I've barely finished my phone vibrates in my pocket.

"Excuse me." Before taking out my phone I grab my plate take it into the kitchen where the staff is hustling about. I rinse my plate before setting it in the dish washer.

"The meal was fabulous as always Chef." I send him a warm smile that he returns. I head out to the back yard and sit on the hammock in the shade. It's pretty warm out today, but it has a wonderful-cool breeze that lifts my hair.

Taking out my phone I see I have two text messages.

Dean
The Elite seem to think we're great friends and invited me to hang out with you guys today.

Me
Of course they would. Guess the plan starts today.

I quickly send him the reply before looking at the other text.

Damon
So I'm hoping nothing came up today. You in for a small party at my place with the rest of the group? Dean will be there.

Of course he'd mention Dean going. They must really want me to go. Obviously they want everyone of high power in their group. They just want to control me. They will never control me again. I'm turning the tables on them. For once I'm the one in control.

Me
Yea no plans came up. Guess I'll see you there.

I went to put my phone in my pocket just when it vibrates again.

That was fast.

Damon
I'm glad. I'd really like to get to know you better. The whole group does. Not to be forward or anything but are you dating anyone? ;)

Oh my god! NO! No, no, no! Damon Rogue is not allowed to ask me if I'm single! There is no way in hell I'm answering that. Where did that even come from? And really "not to be forward or anything" Yea right. What the actual fuck!?

Me
Cool I'll see you there.

I completely disregarded his question hoping he'd leave it at that, but of course luck isn't on my side in this case.

Damon
That's all I get? Way to hurt my ego.

Me
I'm sure you'll live. Your ego is big enough to handle one rejection.

Did I just send that!! Fuck no. Take it back! Unsend!

Damon
So that's a rejection huh? I guess we'll see about that. Catch ya later Abrielle(;

Shit!

Me to Dean
Fuck new plan! Are you dating anyone?

Dean
Well that's not random. No.

Me
Wanna go out with me?

Dean
Wait what?

I was about to text back, but my phone started to ring. It was Dean.

"Hey."

"Hey. Please explain why you just randomly asked me out."

"Yea about that. Well you see Damon texted me and asked if I was single. I rejected him, but I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm just playing hard to get."

"So you asked me out so he can't?"

"Basically. So what do you say wanna be my fake boyfriend?"

"Yes." Well that was a quick decision I thought I was going to have to beg him. Easy enough.

"Great! We'll start dating at the spring fest. That's two days away. So until then be the biggest cock block I know you can be!"

"When have I ever cock blocked you? You know what don't answer that. I'll see you later."

"Bye babe!" I said in a teasing voice. I could hear him laughing before he hung up.

Well time to get this small get together over with.

Thoughts???
