Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend

"It's unbecoming to your species"

"David Conell has been reported missing by his wife Lisa Conell. David has been missing for at least 48 hours and was last seen on the corner of Wells and Clark, if you know of his whereabouts please call the local authorities..." So the idiot had a wife. The poor doll didn't even know her husband was a cheating bastard. I did her a favor putting a bullet between the eyes. She deserves better than a low life pig who can't understand the word commitment or know what marriage means.

The sound of the wind picking up and slamming raindrops against my bedroom window draws my attention away from the newspaper resting in my hands. The rain must have picked up. I take great pleasure in reading the names of men who I have taken care of in the newspaper, It's like winning a prize.

It's been raining for the past week, I haven't been able to go out and hunt for my next prey. No women in their right mind and stand in the rain getting soaked to the bone just for a greasy man to pick her up. It's unheard of.

I could use a break anyway, Pansy's birthday is coming up in a day and I have yet to find her a present. She's a picky one, to say the least. Being friends with her for so long I've learned her ways and cracked the code of finding her the perfect gift. The more expensive it is the more she will love it. Coming from a rich family has made me and Pansy's tastes rather expensive. Diamonds are also draped across our necks and gems always line our fingers. Fur coats and designer heels are what we have grown up with and I will be damned if I lose that privilege.

I finally force myself out of my plush warm bed. My feet touch the fuzzy warm carpet beneath the bed but the rest of my body gets goosebumps from the frigid air hitting my skin. I rush over to my closet and wrap my freshly cleaned robe around me. I make my way across the room to my grand windows; the soft pitter-patter of rain grows as I get closer and closer. I draw the heavy curtains back to see a gray bleak sky and empty streets. I close the curtains and slowly make my way towards my closet. I change into a green sweater, black slacks, and some heeled boots. I grab my hat and my black trench coat then make my way through the apartment, when I reach the door I take one last look around then grab my umbrella and head into the hallway.

I step inside the elevator, hit the ground floor button, and start to button up my coat.

"Hey hold the door!" A shout fills the hallway along with the sound of heavy footsteps rushing closer. I stick my hand between the doors just in time for a tall man to step into the elevator.

"Thank you!" The man's deep breathless baritone voice fills my ears sending a warm shiver down my spine. I have always had a spot for deeper voices.

"Your welcome" I give a small nod in his way then look forward and straighten my coat. The man straightens up and removes his hat. I turn once more to see what the man is doing and end up finding myself staring into a pair of beautifully crafted green eyes. They glisten and shine like my emerald earrings. The rest of his face is not half bad either. Golden tanned skin, a gruff beard that matches the shaggy hair hanging around his ears and touching the nape of his neck. I could make out a few lines on his neck that I would assume are tattoos.

I push my hair behind my ear and wait for the elevator to descend. I fidget with my hands till we reach the lobby. I step out and make my way towards the doors. The green-eyed man rushes ahead of me and holds the door open for me.

"Thank you darling" I give a smile and then open my umbrella before stepping out into the rain.

"Of course my father always told me to treat every woman like a queen" The man starts to walk next to me. He seems unbothered by the fact he has no protection from the rain. I raise my umbrella in kindness and let him step under. He grabs the handle, takes it from my hand then raises it to his height.
