I apologized and let go of her. She answered her phone, "heeeeeey..." I shook my head and started picking up our glasses and the plates we were using. "Noo..I'm with Tee..yeah..." she said and I tried by all means to think about what almost happened had that phone kept quiet. This wasn't me. "I will..I promise.." she said and then she laughed, that beautiful laughter "are you sure.. whatever then it's your funeral." I shook my head and put the dishes in the washer. "Fuck no... okay fine.. I'll see you tomorrow... I love you too babe.. bye..." My heart at that moment... I don't know how I felt. I couldn't explain it but I suddenly wasn't feeling okay. "Hey... balls kicker.. is that how you found out that you wanted to be a rugby player? By kicking the poor guy's balls...." I laughed a bit, "oh really? Did you kick someone's camera to find out you wanted to be a photographer? Or did you kick someone's painting.." She laughed, genuinely laughed, "says the camera killer... noo
I shook my head a little bit trying not to think about what she just said. I should have left her white ass at home I swear. Now she was reading way too much into this and saying things that didn't exist. We went in and Mimi opened the door. I have to say, the place was pretty much cleaner than it was last I was here.. very clean to be exact and it smelled really nice. There were two guys playing football on tv chilling on the couch and two girls who were talking. Amora said, "guys our guests are here..." The two guys kept on playing saying to hold on a second.. then suddenly the two girls started yelling.. "Oh My Gosh... Tawny... King...." That's when the guys stopped playing and turned around. The place went quiet. And I looked at Mimi.She looked at one of the girls, "umh.. okay so this is Freya, my roommate, and Luna my best friend.." Ahh the best friend. She had this smug on her face."Anthony.. my friend and Nash my boyfriend..." That last word she said earned me another
AMORA"You fucken asshole. Why on earth didn't you tell us that your new friend is actually Tawny Lioness fucken King?" Anthony jumped on me the moment I walked back in my room."What do you mean?" I asked with a shrug and the guy laughed pulling me to the couch, "what do I mean? arg I mean you could have warned us you know.. and give us some 'umh guys so the friend I'm bringing is actually Tawny King.. so be prepared..'" I rolled my eyes getting bored, "prepar for what? A funeral or wedding?"They all laughed and Luna said, "he probably wanted to dress a bit more impressive than he is.. and fix his white accent.." Anthony shook his head, "sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with your racist ass Luna... but it's good coz your best friend brings us cool people.. so I'll tolerate your ass.."My boyfriend rolled his eyes, "anyways I'm personally mad babe that you didn't tell me that Tawny was your friend.."I shrugged, "she wasn't written 'I'm famous' on her forehead when she crashed my
"good good Nash..." she said after a while. God I thought she'd never speak. I sighed and shyly said, "babe can you go get dressed.. please.." He winked,"I am.. I just don't know where my shirt is.. my pants are in your bedroom.."I sighed at how bad this sounded, God.. I then took his shirt that was on the couch and threw it at him, "here.." He bowed, "well thank you my lady.." I rolled my eyes, he was an idiot. I turned to Tawny and found this look I couldn't read still on her face. She looked at me and then at a few clothes that were on the couch, then back at me. Ah fuck... then it hit me. She probably thinks we had sex coz we were both naked.."No.. we were not having sex.." I said not knowing why I felt the need to explain myself to her. She just looked at me And said nothing.... I sighed, and my boyfriend walked back in now fully dressed. I smiled at him, "you look cute with your clothes on." He rolled his eyes and pulled me into a kiss.. he tried to deepen it but I q
WORRY: feel or cause to feel anxious or troubled about actual or potential problems.I sat there watching my sister and my friend interact and something didn't actually sit well with me. I knew what my sister was like and I didn't wish for Tee to actually be a part of that. I sighed and thought about my friends. They probably were wondering why I was taking long or where I disappeared to. I got up ready to leave but Tawny cleared his throat, "hey Mimi... where are you going?" I was a bit taken back coz I thought she wouldn't realize that I was leaving, I shrugged, "back to my friends.. they are probably worried about me. I just left without a warning." "Just chill a bit. Text Luna and tell her you're with me and your sister." She wanted me to stay? "Umh.. yeah okay, let me text her.." I took out my phone and texted my best friend again. ME: Hey babe. I'm chilling with Tawny and My sister at the VVIP section.. y'all better not leave without me or I swear to God I'll be capable
Tuesday came and Tawny came to fetch me as we went to watch a movie as promised. It was really nice and she was her amazing self. After the movie we headed back to some nice cosy restaurant in Sandton where we chilled in our own booth. She ordered wine and then food. "Fuck heels.. I'm never going to wear them again.." I said unhooking my shoes and she laughed, "aww you still look beautiful I say.." "I'll look more beautiful with my feet on the ground." She bent over and removed my hands, "let me remove them for you then.." I let go and smiled, "thank you.. thank you so much.."She laughed and handed me my heels when she was done. I smiled, "well thank you.. you are such a gentlewoman." She winked and our wine arrived.. I was internally wondering how to ask her about what's happening with her and Paris. I mean a little part of me wanted to know if they went out for those drinks. But she looked like herself. So Paris haven't done shit yet... at least Tawny still talked and lau
TAWNYMy phone started ringing as I went to the changing room with my teammates. I smiled when I saw who it was. "Paris... the most beautiful place in France.." She giggled, 'God you're killing me.. how are you?' "Good and about to put my phone away and you? Are you here already coz you sound like you're in a quiet place.."'awww.. miss me already Tawny?'I laughed, "not really.. just wondering.." 'she is playing hard to get.. can I see you..'"You do know I have a game right Paris..." She laughed, 'you do know I'm a journalist right? but fine... just wave at me when you see me..' I smiled, Paris was really something else, "umh.. sure.. I'll do that." 'see you now now.. and break a leg... umm.. not literally though.. you still have a date to get to on Monday...' I blushed a bit, Paris made me feel some typa way... how strong and brave she was, and her ability to go after what she wanted was just amazing on her.At 27, she has been more than a sister to Mimi, I know it must not
After fixing myself I looked at myself one last time. I wanted to be perfect tonight, because I was going on an actual day since three years ago. I was wearing Classic Navy Slim Fit Suit, a Crisp White Shirt, Tom Ford Sunglasses, a gold watch and all without a tie. I unbuttoned the first two buttons on my shirt and smiled at myself. My cut was always fresh coz I fixed it every two weeks. Paris texted that I be a gentleman and go fetch her. I laughed and went to her apartment in Sandton. She came out looking like she just travelled from the magazine she worked for. She looked like a beautiful Goddess in her Rose gold slim dress and long black heels. I swallowed trying to channel in the 17 year old that was jumping up and down waiting for their sexy prom date inside me.She looked breathtaking and her weave was on point. I quickly got out and opened the passenger door for her. She smiled and pulled me into a brief hug making me yearn for it more. God she smelled so good. I went ba
My relationship with my sister was the best and Luna tried to spend as much time with me because I was leaving her. She made me feel like I was dying and never coming back, but I understood and wasn't complaining. My last days at work were amazing until on Friday they told me they have a party for me. God I hated it but it was tradition coz I was going to Thailand. I didn't know how I'd ask Paris to go but was so fucken happy when she told me she has a very important interview that she couldn't move. She felt bad that she could not come but I assured her that it was okay. Little did she know I was relieved. I didn't know how she and Tawny would act when they were to see each other. So she promised to come sleep over at my place when she was done with the interview. I dressed pretty nice in a navy blue notch lapel 2 piece tailored suit for women, a white shirt underneath the blazer and black heels. I wanted to leave with a bang. I got to the office and as I guessed all eyes were o
"Okay I just got an sms.. the ride is.. oh my God Tawny hello.." Freya said the moment she saw who was at the door.I was forced to open the door wide and move to the side so that she can walk in. She hugged my friends and said, "Frey frey and Tony... right?" My friends smiled like idiots that they were, "yesss.. God it's been forever and you still remember us.." Antony smiled, "would love to catch up but we have to go.. Amora it was great surprising you. You're a darling. Love you so much." I kissed his cheek and Freya was smiling from ear to ear, "you guys be good. Bye now." After closing the door my place became so quiet the only thing I could hear was the rapid beating of my heart. I could feel it in my ears, they were hot. I hated feeling like this. I wished Luna was up so I wouldn't have to deal with this on my own. I turned towards her and found her looking around the house. Right there anger slowly built in and seeing her here NOW was just pissing me off."You've done a g
AMORAMy party was greater than I thought. I was enjoying the company and the food actually. They forced me to drink telling me I won't drive, I refused and said I want to remember today but mostly I wanna study sober coz I had an exam on Monday. As for them.. well they got drunk. Around 9pm Paris got up, "okay.. I think I must say something to make this party official.." Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to her. She smiled, "so this kid over here.." she said that motioning for me to go to her. I did and she put her arm around my shoulder, "she's my world. Took me hell to notice that I haven't been really great to her..." "Skip that part.. you're amazing now.." Luna cut her off and we all laughed. "Okay..definitely listening to this one coz she's my sister's wife.." We laughed again and Paris cleared her throat, "what I mean is, I'm totally proud of you baby. You've not only done you proud but also our parents. I know they want what's best for us hence they keep th
The following day I had school and work later. The morning lecture was important. I saw Freya and she came running to me. "Hey you stranger.." She looked different, good different. I pulled her into a hug, "how are you.. oh my God you look good. Did you get a boyfriend?" She laughed, "You're awful.. I'm good.. since you started working we hardly see you."I nodded, "sorry babe, I wanna graduate at the end. How's second year treating you though?" "It's amazing but too much work, I can't wait till I'm like you brushing shoulders with the big dogs." We talked a bit until I saw the time, "I have to run. My signature is important there.."She hugged me again and she smelled so good, I shook my head, "you definitely got a boyfriend.."We both laughed then I got a taxi to pass by work. When I got there Rachel was smiling like an idiot at the front table. I raised my brow, "I didn't know my signature could make you this happy." She laughed, "Mrs Banks kinda said something so I'm just
AMORANerves were killing me I could actually hear my heart beat from my chest. What the fuck was I doing? Why did I agree to this? God couldn't I tell Tyra that I already had plans when the internship ends. But then again I'd be having nothing and totally wind up homeless... "Please breathe.. I don't want you dying in my office." Tyra said walking in and I sighed, "like can't they do this Skype thing when I'm in bed wearing my PJs and definitely NOT today." She laughed, "nerves are good.. keep them up." "Mrs Banks I cannot breathe.. what part of that is good..?" She brushed on my shoulders, "Don't worry.. you'll do great.. they'll call you any second from now."Second.. God she said any second. I felt like I wanted to go to the bathroom..maybe take a little shit and I'll be fine after that. My stomach was in knots. My Skype tone kicked me back to the moment I was dreading. I looked at Tyra, "I won't do this with you in here." She took her headsets and put them on, "I'm working
TAWNYMy life felt like a rollercoaster. Everything was happening so fast and I felt like I was losing myself in between. Have you ever wanted something so bad but then the universe was telling you not to pursue it? I was in that boat at the moment and it sucked to be in it. When I took that Monday off I never thought Amora would show up in my bedroom when I was taking a bath... but seeing her there looking all cute and freaked out at the thought that something had happened to me kinda put me at ease.I knew I shouldn't have had sex with her as it was going to complicate things that were already complicated but I stupidly couldn't stop myself. After she left I felt like shit and regretted putting her in that position again. The plan was to create distance between us and not to give her hope.Everyday for me was hell. My mind was thinking about the past six months and how fast they flew by. I felt guilty for what I did to Mimi and Paris. That was not me and I needed to push them awa
AMORA'S POV I sat anxiously waiting for my sister to start talking. I had no idea what to expect but by how good she seemed it didn't look bad. "So I want to apologize..." My heart sank as guilt started building in. "Look I know I haven't been the best sister to you. I realized I measured my being there for you with money. The more money I gave you, the more I felt I was there for you..." If she wasn't nice to me then I'd feel better and my stomach would not be in knots. I wouldn't be thinking about everything I was doing with Tawny behind her back. She felt shitty for not being a sister and I felt somehow responsible for the break up of her and Tawny. ".. It made things easy.." she continued, "not seeing you all the time and just replacing that with money seemed better. You know you're like dad... how you talk and how wise you are, you are exactly him. At first I was running from having to deal with that...our Parents' death. I was running from having to be here for you emotion
The following day was said to be new from my talk with Luh, she said I shouldn't think about anything and go to work. She'll go to school and come back again. I didn't mind that.. her being here was helping keep me busy and I also missed her.I cleaned up pretty good and put on my pants and a shirt with boots. It was a little cold. July sucked. I requested and was at work on time. "Morning boss lady.." I said the second I saw Tyra and she ached her brow at me. God she hated it when I called her that. I smiled a bit and rested my hand on her shoulder, "what can I do to put a smile on your face.." "Tell me you're ready for a meeting with Tawny in 10 minutes." Fuck!!! That I wasn't. She must have seen the horror look on my face. She laughed a bit and asked, "did you open the envelope I gave you?" Fuck... I did not do that..I swallowed, "umh.. I'm so sorry no I didn't.." She just looked at me and then I started panicking, "God Tyra please tell me it didn't hold work for today or w
I laid there on my side facing away from her. My mind was all over the place. How could I allow my body to put me at such a vulnerable position. I knew how I felt about her and I felt stupid coz I knew how she felt about me too, it was different.Her phone started ringing and she didn't even move a bit, but by the way she was breathing I knew she was wide awake and could hear it. God! That's how our calls were being ignored earler.I sighed regretting this moment already because it wasn't going to change anything. I slowly got up into a sitting position facing away from her. "..leaving already?" she said and I suddenly felt like crying. Whether I stayed or not it wouldn't matter coz she didn't want to be with me. I got up, "can I use your bathroom?" "Are you okay?" I nodded my head, "bathroom..." "You're facing it... Mimi are you sure you're okay?" If I wasn't almost in tears I was going to laugh my ass out. For someone who didn't want to be with me, she sure acted like she car
