Chapter SixteenBella stepped out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee, turning it silently as she sat on the couch. Last night had been one of those days when she and Kimmie stayed apart without talking to each other. She was pissed at Kimmie for going out with Brian and turning her down in front of the man who had hurt her. Kimmie stepped out of her room trying to adjust the skirt she had on. Sighing, Kimmie walked towards bella. "Good morning, are you still angry at me?" Bella rolled her eyes, "what is the need to be angry? It's your life and your decision." Sitting next to her, "Bella, I know I might look stupid to you. But, I am not totally a fool. I just needed to let him know I wasn't his forever puppet and I could handle things on my own. Brian needed to hear a piece of me." "How am I suppose to believe that when you were staring at him like a snack?" "I admit to the fact that I was smitten by him once again. I will tell you bella, there is no way I would go back to a man
Chapter Fifteen"Bella!" Kimmie finally left her trance mode. She held on quickly to her friend. Her eyes shone widely at the sight of Brian on the floor struggling to get up while entangled in a pile of clothes. The shop attendants had run towards them trying to help Brian up.

If you would speak to Kimmie you would have to come through me first." Kimmie gulped hard as her eyes met with Brian. "Please, Bella." "Is this what you have planned with your friend to do? To humiliate me?" Brian said, holding Bella's gaze. "Don't look at him Kimmie. He is trying to manipulate you." Bella mumbled, turning to her friend with her eyes searching. "Please, Kimmie." She moaned. "I will be outside, Kimmie. I need to talk to you." Brian said, heading out of the store. Bella stared in bewilderment, "tell me you aren
Chapter FourteenKimmie yawned loudly, blinking rapidly when her eyes landed on Bella holding up her phone with her mouth agape. “Bella!” She called out, “what are you doing with my phone?” Bella giggled loudly, sitting on the edge of the bed. “Who exactly did you meet last night?” Scratching the depth of her hair, Kimmie looked lost. “What are you even talking about?” “Stop playing dumb. Ryan Pierce just texted you.”“Are we looking through each other's phone now?” “Not exactly, just tell me already. How did you meet him?” “How is it that you know him. I helped him on my way to use the restroom last night. I had an encounter with Kimberly, and he asked me to type in my contact on his phone.” “Kimberly was at the party?” She raised a brow, “you didn't see her?” “No, I didn't.”“Well, she did show up, and you know how much she enjoys being insulting and all of that.” “Yeah, I get what Kimberly can do. But, do you know who this man is?” “Why are being overtly dramatic over a

She walked up to her pulling one of the pods out. "You are such an awful dancer. It's a sore to delicate eyes." Bella pouted, like she would cry.Huffing and puffing from the mild exercise, Kimmie slumped into the couch. "That would be one of the best dance performance you would ever get to see up close.

I decided to take a full day off work."Opening her mouth in surprise, "why would you do that?" Kimmie queried.Shrugging, Bella responded, "I need to get you some new clothing's and also cheer you up. I know you are just hiding your pain under th

He appeared exhausted, he had been drilling holes all through the night in a warm pussy and he sure had a good weekend.
