Seven

🎶 Wake up! Wake up!! Wake up!!! 🎶

I groaned as I tossed around on the bed trying to locate the source of my nap interruption.

I located the darn phone under my pillow, right beside my ear where it was blaring off the alarm ringtone.

My phone flashed at 9:30 pm and I released a string of curses that should granny hear it she'd probably die from a heart attack.

Curses and damnation upon Susie!

Turning off my phone, I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. As quietly as a mouse, I crept into my room without making a sound, and opened my wardrobe, pulling out the pieces Susie gave me, calling it a dress.

Fucking bloody hell!

Please, allow me to curse to my heart's content tonight, I'm pissed as hell right now and the cause of my anger will be in front of my house soon.

Peering at the silk fabric in my hand, I pulled it over my head and winced at how tight the dress was.

It clung to every inch of my body, revealing all my curves in a way that would tempt a man to sin, the emerald dress was awfully short! It stopped just below my knee and had a slit by the right side of the dress exposing more flesh in my thigh.

My cleavage was pushed up by the dress's deep neckline and the necklace I used to compliment the dress stopped right in between my breasts. The black heels made the dress seem shorter.

Gritting my teeth in anger, I held my shoes and purse in my hands then gently opened my room door, wincing slightly when it creaked open.

After waiting for five seconds and no movement, I continued down the hallway straight into the sitting room and proceeded towards the kitchen when my phone ringtone went off.

My heart skipped when I heard the shuffling of feet in granny's room and I prayed the ground would open up and swallow me so she wouldn't see me like this.

Muting my phone and cursing when I saw Duncan's number flash on the screen of my phone, I ignored the call.

Just then granny's door flew open and she came out rubbing her drowsy eyes. It was obvious she had been sleeping before my phone went off.

She saw me standing in front of the kitchen door and rubbed her eyes, stifling a yawn.

"Who are you?" Though she was sleepy, her voice still sounded firm.

I kept quiet.

When she went to turn on the lights, I ran.

"Hailey! Intruder!!" She yelled.

I ran straight to my room, pulling on my big night dress then ran out back. By now the lights were on.

"Granny, what happened?" I asked, faking a sleepy voice.

"I saw someone here," she muttered.

"Are you sure, there's no one here granny?" I looked around.

She shook her head. "I could have sworn someone was here but when I turned back to turn on the lights, puff-- the person ran away."

I stifled a fake yawn. "Granny, no one is here, go back to bed."

"Wasn't your phone ringing earlier so close to the kitchen," she pointed out.

I froze. "Yeah, uhm—it rang, the volume was pretty loud and it was Duncan calling."

She frowned then nodded her head. She was about to say something else when the doorbell went off.

I left her to go see who's at the door, it was Duncan. He stepped in, his frown turning into a smile when he saw my grandmother.

"Good evening, granny," he smiled at her.

She nodded in acknowledgment, "It's late to be here."

Duncan nodded, "I know that granny but I came to discuss something with Hailey."

She shook her head, "Sorry young man, I'm sleepy right now so I can't tell what will happen if I leave you both alone for five minutes. Come talk to her tomorrow morning."

I noticed the annoyed look that crossed his face before he nodded and marched out.

I took it upon myself to take granny back to bed so she could sleep as the lovely grandchild I was.

A few minutes later and she was snoring lightly, I stepped out of her room discarding my big nightdress and gathering my shoes and purse, I tiptoed out of the house.

Running as fast as I could across the street to the other side of the street where Susie's house was located. I saw her standing outside smirking with her hands folded on her chest.

"Nice bumping into you in the middle of the night," she teased.

I glared daggers at her as I tried to calm my racing heart, fear coursing through my blood.

"I hate you!" I growled at her.

She scoffed, "The feeling is mutual baby girl."

Strutting into her house without me, I followed her into her room mumbling curses under my breath. Now that I think about it, I may have cursed in one night more than what my ancestors cursed in their lifetime.

Susie rubbed her hands together, a manic look on her face, "I thought I would never see this day, Hailey."

I scowled, "Let's be on our way already."

Susie laughed, "Impatient, are we? We've still got to organize your hair that's running over the place."

I stared at Susie. She was dressed in a black mini skirt if this could be considered as one because she was bending down right now and I could see her butt cheeks, she was wearing a thong.

She wiggled her ass in my face. "Like what you see?"

I made a face and she laughed.

"Come on, Hailey. I'm going to give you the best night ever!"

I had no idea what Susie meant but against my will, my body trembled in excitement.
