Adriana's POV

"What may I know is the reason for this smile"Nancy asks me as i enter the room.

Placing the book in my hand on the table i look at her,laugh & then answer

"Sometimes daily brushing can be the sign of smiling,life is too easy to be mixed with complicated  reasons baby"

When i turn back i see Adiva's empty bed & then my eyes shift in the direction of her wardrobe that's empty.I look at Nancy,she volunteer's the information herself

"I came here ten minutes before you" & she shrugs.

"Cool",i answer her back.

"She chooses that way" she moves her neck & shrugs again.

"Anyway,would you help me decide the dress for tomorrow?" I ask opening my wardrobe.

"Oh,how can i forget,its one important day for you,Ofcourse i am coming" She says getting up from the bed.

"I love this Red dress"

She says taking out the hanger & displaying the dress.

"Nancy,i need to be subtle & yet look  impressive" i tell her.

"You are sure going to impress your boss if you wear it,think if he is some hot big shot"

She streches her eyebrows & pouts.

"Ahmm...,am i disturbing you ?"

Adiva is standing at the doorstep.

"Hey! come in, why are you standing there?" I ask her.

Her smile grows & she enters, taking in the red dress from Nancy,she asks

"Damn,what-a-hot-sexy-short dress,Whose dress is it?

"Adriana is lending me this dress for my date"Nancy answers.

Both Adiva & I,look at her & we start laughing.

We sit togeather & chirp for almost 2 hours,Derby has joined us too & we talk about the job,interview & everything.

Adiva hands us over the keys to the room before she exits.

My hands slide over the fabric to straighten my navy blue pencil skirt,carrying it with black sleeveless shirt.I am yet confused about the footwear,Nancy chooses a pair of black stiletoes for me. I plug in the straightening iron & my perfectly straightened hairs are now pinned with a single pin.I m a little unsure if i should put the gloss,but a little mascara & liner stroke makes my eyes look perfect smoky yet subtle.

"How are you commuting?" Nancy asks.

"Well there's a guy in my literature class,he offered to drop me"i answer looking away & as casual as possible.

"A guy? & he offered you a ride, how good of friends are you?"she butts in again.

"Dont overestimate & start creating things now,we are just friends"I scoff & roll my eyes.

Next moment,my iphone beams with the display showing Daniel's name & i rush to pick it. Nancy closely scrutinizes my face & expressions making me uncomfortable. He asks me to reach the parking area where he is waiting. I disconnect the phone call, pick up my bag & file with all the certificates.

As i am about to exit,Nancy jumps up & comes across handing me over the lip gloss that i decided not to wear.

"Its light peach,won't be too loud for your business but i m sure you'll need it much"
