Her Facade |ON HOLD|

Chapter six - Dog day

It was Saturday night and I went on with my daily ritual of going through Vidya's stuff.

I obtained a raven black leather skirt from the back of one of her drawers. It was way to short and was skin tight.

Perfect.

It was both sexy and daring.

Wow, that just defined me.

But looking at the mirror, I felt like the grim reaper. I'm dressed in all black. I needed a little more colour in my life.

I brightened my makeup.

It still wasn't enough.

Put on jewellery.

It still wasn't enough.

Maybe a sweater will do the trick.

It didn't do the trick.

I threw out my sweater in frustration. The top was probably the problem. I removed the dark top and wrestled the closet.

I sighed admitting defeat. I looked at myself once more in the mirror.

I then had an epiphany.

The red sport bra I was in.

Duh, I scolded myself. This is it. And I know Tanner will not be able to keep his eyes away.

************************************

Tanner and I couldn't keep our eyes off each other during the party.

We stared at each other multiple times across the room. Even though looking at each other over sweaty bodies grinding over each other, we still managed to keep the lust in our eyes.

He signaled me to came over to one of the rooms, before getting inside himself.

I couldn't get in right away, obviously.
I had to act unavailable, or else I'd seem desperate. I had to build up the suspense and the sexual tension.

I waited exactly five minutes before deciding going over. I actually intended to go in a little later but I couldn't wait any longer.

Making my way slowly down to the room, I got grabbed by a ridiculously tall girl.

"Emily."

"What!" I couldn't stand her in my sight. I was seconds away from getting laid.

"Justina," She panted. What does she want now? "She's crying in the bathroom, and she, she,"

"She what?"

"She refuses to let anyone to touch unless it's you."

"Why?"

"I...I don't know."

Urggg.

She just had to get hysterical now. I do want to see what's up with that girl, but

Tanner...

Oh, fuck it.

I'll attend to Justina and her drama. But just this once. But she'll owe me big-time.

Remember hoes before bros.

Wait, that doesn't sound right.

Oh, the sisters before misters, gals before pals shit.

I went into the toilet and there she was.

Puking, laying on the floor, head in the toilet, her hair in her mouth.

Very classy Justina.

"What's up now?" I asked, bending down to hold her hair out of her face.

"Are you drunk?"

"No." She sobbed

"How many drinks did you have."

"Not many, jus selven."

"Oh, tina." That isn't a number.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Justina," I sighed while brushing her firery locks to console her. "Spill."

"It's Hyden."

"Your ex?" She nodded. "What about him?"

"Everything Em," she hiccups. "Can you imagine that little shit?"

"What did he do now."

"We have been on and off for the last, is it two months?"

"And you didn't tell me?"

"Why would I. Nothing was--"

She puked in the toilet then grabbed her stomach in pain.

"We only made things official recently. But we haven't mentioned our relationship to anyone yet."

"So when we're you gonna tell me?"

"Tonight," She straightened her posture. "Or at least that's what I thought."

"Go on."

"I went to him at the backyard earlier tonight. He was hanging with his friends and I thought that since we are officially a couple now, why not show off?"

She pulled a strand of red hair behind her ears. " And you know what?"

"What?"

"That son of a bitch rejected me.Me! Justina Michelle-anne Valentine! He laughed at me and told his friends that it was just a pity hookup." She air quoted.

"He claimed that every dog deserves her day."

"Oh babe." I sympathised. "He's just such a...a..." I struggled to find a fitting word to descibe his grotesque behaviour. " a jerk."

"A jerk?"

"Yes. He was trying to protect his reputation."

"From who? Me? I could cripple his reputation on a matter of seconds. "

"Not looking like that you won't. Get up. Let's go. We'll tell Adam to sort him out."

"No. It's probably not his fault. It's mine. I guess I've always been a sucker for man whores."
