Our sumptuous heavy orders was placed on the circular table and of course everyone wondered which hungry lion will devour the food.
Well, I'm that lion.
I started eating hastily as if a grade one student wants to steal it from me, my mouth was full with rice and salad and impatiently I quaffed down the red wine that tasted like tequila while Jennifer ate delicately.
Hey, hope I'm not the bad guy here.
"So, how did you meet your husband-to-be?" I asked with my full mouth spilling particles on the table and anywhere.
"You can just drink water and breath!" Jennifer said mockingly.
"Sorry" I swallowed the food in my mouth and gulp the water, Jennifer smiled.
"We met as friends and business partner then.. romance interlude" Jennifer explained rather too fast and unrealistic.
I mean most girls would have started by telling me their silly moments, romance and dates but... what's my goddamn business? I just smiled and continue digging my meal.
"And you. Why don't you want to choose a guy yet?... I mean you're too pretty to be single" Jennifer took a sip from her almost filled glass of wine... well mine was empty already.
"I don't believe in that shit" I said bluntly.
"What happened?" Jennifer insisted and I decided to tell her about my fairytale past that vanish before a blink of an eye.
"There's this guy I believed so much in, I loved him so much that I had to turn my back at my parents. He was too handsome and very nice to me... maybe that was what made me lost" I began.
"Due to his work, I joined him to Italy where our romantic journey started. I left my family for a man".
I regret it so much.
"I had to learn how to do house chores like cleaning the rooms, cooking... like, all that was written on my mind was this man is my husband so I had to do the impossible.... so he would stay" I exhaled and Jennifer's mood saddened.
"But you know men will always be men. My dream came crashing down when I found out he was getting married to a business partner, I'd have stayed but damn she was already pregnant for him" I sighed.
"This scum didn't give me any explanation, he only told me to leave. Like, doesn't he have even the slightest feelings for me all these years? I... I didn't know how to face my family, my best friend ... I just decided to go with the flow and shun everyone since nature prefer to give me rock" I smiled trying to hold myself, I really tried but you can't hide pain... tears gathered around my eyelids but I raised my face up praying for it to go back in and Jennifer patted me with warm smile on her face.
"You have me now".
"I'll never leave you" her voice sounded so soft in my ear and it gave me warmth.
I can't believe I confined my worst part to someone who I seemed to detest... is this how friendship whole thing works?
"What's the mother fuckers name?" Jennifer asked and I sprout out my meal in astonishment.
"You seem to be learning so fast" I teased.
"Let's eat and forget about my horrible past" I reassured her.
"Let's make new memories .... together" Jennifer said and I nodded.
The toilet became my bedroom for the rest of the day, when I lay on my bed immediately my stomach will grumble and I'll run back to the toilet.
Yeah... I ate like a dead cow, now here's the consequences.
I couldn't sleep the whole night as I run from bedroom to toilet every minute.
Sitting on the toilet waiting for the next poop to fall, I turned on my WiFi and connected then I scrolled into my Whatsapp.
I saw message from Jennifer who I had earlier given my contact.
"Hey babe. How are you holding up?"
"Want me to come over so we could have some movie night?"
I sighed slightly at the sight of her message but a smile crept from my lips.
"Not today" I quickly replied and so you know, I'm very with keyboards.
Just as I was about going to check random status, another notification pops in.
"Can this bitch stop disturbing me?" I cursed.
Emergency Test Tomorrow
Time: 8:30am sharp
Lecture hall: Departmental building
Course: Semi- project presentation
What the fuck!
I have a damn test tomorrow, like hell important test that determine whether I graduate or not... where should I read from?
I haven't even prepared my presentation... someone should ask my fucking self why I'm still sitting on this .... whatever.
Another loud purge came out from my buttocks and I kept shut... shamefully.
Wearing a black silk cami and a crazy jean jacket, a mini short jean skirt and long boot-like shoe, I hurried down the hall way.
"Mr. Hathaway never told us about his test".
"This is really an emergency test".
"Thank goodness I've longed prepared my project".
"What am I going to say?"
"Will I graduate this year?"
My course mates continue discussing with different expressions while I packed my silver colored smooth hair with the band I had gotten from my last shopping and I brought out the Vinyl gloss lipgloss I also bought and a mirror and I started applying it on my cherry light pink lips.... I have a medium wavy lips which I admired.
"Mr. Hathaway is here".
The young man who I heard is my course representative announced loudly and everyone started arranging themselves.
Fuck me, I forgot to read.
We were about twenty students in the lecture hall, yes last I heard no one wants to study agriculture because weeding sucks.
As the lecturer called the names of his list, the persons will come out and present the topics boldly.
If he/she stopped talking or speak rationally, the lecturer may grade you base on your actions... I guess.
Eliora Ganes!
The lecturer called my name but for the record, he sounded rude.
Forgo your pride and go do your thing bitch.
I exhaled and inhaled deeply then proceeded to the upper platform.
From where I stood, I could clearly see the back seat and other parts in the hall... no wonder lecturers catch some of us watching porn during lecture.
"Good day Ladies and Gentlemen and Mr. Hathaway" I began but the lecturer shoot me a deadly look.
"Your topic. Start talking" Mr. Hathaway squealed annoyingly only God knows what I wanted to spill in my mind but.... I better be humiliated than carryovers.
I started talking about farming and all that is consist in it, the ancient pattern of farming and the modern day revolution.
I must go thank my elementary teacher, for his teachings has saved my life this day, I spoke like one who knows my textbook back to back but I was only taking references from my elementary school assessment.
Mr. Hathaway nodded his head with an impressive look on his face and that was what gave me the courage to keep blabbing my half nonsense.
Better read viral rather than disgracing yourself, it saved me though.
Was I noticed or something?
Immediately the test ended ladies gather around my desk asking me tons of question which I found rather annoying and weird.
"Are you a student here?"
"Who gave you hints about the presentation".
"You look pretty, can we be friends?"
"How about joining our ladies union".
I shake my head in disbelieve because that was never what I wanted, its just a freaking presentation I luckily scored.
I ignored their questions and slip in escape, before they had realize themselves... I guess I must have been on my estate street already.
I flung my bag on the armchair and head to the kitchen, after taking a gulp of chilled water I heard my phone ring from the living room.
It's her.... Jennifer.
"Hello" I said.
"Hey Eliora, are you home yet?" She asked sounding happily on the phone.
"Just arrived. What's the news?" I asked slyly... maybe.
"Meet me at the Carlyle in Rosewood hotel" She said.
"Rosewood?" I paused.
"Where's that?" I must say, I felt shameful after asking that. How can someone like me not know Rosewood?
"My driver will come pick you up soon".
"Dress sexy" the call ended immediately after her last statement and I remained... speechless.
I once had a driver though.
I dressed into a peacock sexy summer wear and then added a long black blazer on it, I looked hot after admiring myself on my mirror.
I heard a loud horn from outside and I smiled taking hold of my white midi versace bag, I rushed out of my room.
"Liora, you're here!" before I could speak, she embraced me tightly in happiness that I perceived the scenting cologne she was wearing.
It scented like honey mixed with cherries.
"You look sexy" She chirps.
"Thanks and you're not looking bad yourself" I returned the compliment as we walk into the hotel.
Ladies were already flaunting around on their lovely hot bikinis and sexy pants, some enjoy the cool pool while others relax on the bench sipping their juice. I and Jennifer proceed deeper into the hotel down to the Spa.
Aww.
Softly.
There! There.
Creepy sound comes out from the naked lying ladies but it seem they were enjoying the gently massage, a lady walked up to us holding a wide smile.
"Miss. Aniston!"
They exchanged quick embrace.
"Can we get started?" the lady asked politely.
"Yes" Jennifer paused.
"Use Glow Again for us" Jennifer kind of recommended a cream that should be used on our body during the massage.
"That has always been your favorite" with that we both take our spot on the two free bed by dropping our cards before heading to the wash room to change into the bathrobe to be massaged.
