A week has passed since Collen had the opportunity to drink with Brick Davis and visit Daphne's brother and mother. And best of all...
"Wooohoo Today is the welcome party!" Kendra cheered loudly.
"You would think it was her welcome party." Alison teased.
"Any excuse to party with all of you, I will take it!" Kendra beamed. She was more than ready to get her party on. "Oh and Daphne about that idea you had."
"Oh did you already speak to Evelyn about it?"
"Yup and she apparently loves the idea."
"Really!?" Daphne couldn't contain both her shock and excitement. "So that means everyone is on board!"
"Yup! I have to say regret that I never thought of such a genius plan."
"Well don't forget we still have to get the boss man's okay too." Daphne replied holding up her hand for a high five. Both Kendra and Alison clapped their hands against her own.
"So where has Collen been anyways?" I haven't seen him for the last f
"Hey everyone!" Evelyn waved excitedly to the group. As her and Collen approached both of them dressed up ready for a night of clubbing."Hey we were beginning to wonder if you ditched us." Kendra pouted her lips seeing the pair finally arriving. Everyone was gathering outside the Garden awaiting the arrival of their limo."Yea sorry. I had to finish moving and helping Lord Woosly settle in.""Lord who?""You do not want to know... Trust me." Evelyn stated shaking her head. Sometimes even she was forced to wonder about the man she was in love with. And today was definitely one of those days."He is great! After the party maybe I can take you all to meet him!""Yea Lord Woosly wont be there anymore." Evelyn spoke up unblinking.Collen froze in place smile and all. 'E-Ev... What do you mean by that?""After you left. I contacted an employee who was looking for a dog, She was happy to take him in. Though since she already ha
"Okay ladies. Please remember this is your welcoming party, but is also a chance to network. Half of business in any industry is networking. There will be plenty of wealthy people present who are on the look out for new models to promote their clothing or businesses. So try to get along." Evelyn smiled at the girls inside the limo as it began getting closer to the line for the Club's front door. "Just remember not everyone is who they claim to be. But most of all enjoy yourself. Apart from saying hello you are free to do anything you want tonight." "You two are going to be models!" Kendra cheered smiling ear to ear easing the tension Daphne and Alison were feeling from Evelyn's words. "Woo!" The two howled a cheer of their own throwing their hands into the air. 'This will be my start! I am finally going to begin what I set out to do.' Alison could only help but feel an enormous amount of pride swelling up inside her. She had been working hard to become a mode
Collen was the first one out of the vehicle taking a look around playing good body guard. Before opening the doors for the ladies waiting patiently inside."Ms. Constantine! Ms. Constantine! Over here please if you would." One of the men with a camera called out to the former model stepping out of the limo. "A pose if you would."Evelyn began striking multiple poses and smiling for the cameras. As a barrage of flashes going off began lighting up the front of the club enough to make you believe the sun was still up"Oh Ms. Banks! Please a picture if you would. Perhaps a few of you and Evelyn together!""Certainly." Kendra smiled stepping off to the side of the door smiling at the camera men."So tell us Ms. Banks, is there anyone in your life right now?""How about yourself have you finally grown tired of your Boy Toy Ms. Constantine?""Oops!" Evelyn stumbled forward hitting Collen's back sending him flying into
"So let's raise a toast to Alison and Daphne!" Sierra called out to all of the employees and customers of The Garden hoisting her own glass into the air. "But first a very important guest tonight wishes to have a quick word. Please go ahead." Sierra held the microphone to the person of question"WOO!" A large Alaskan Malamute was sitting next to the microphone stand dressed up in a doggy tux with a bowtie"Thank you for your kind words Lord Woosly!""Woo!""Aww thank you. I know I am beautiful aren't I?""Woo?""Why yes I am single! So if any of you wealthy bachelors are interested please let Lord Woosly or I know.""Woo Woo?""No. You know we can't date. Don't worry I am certain we can find you a nice girlfriend. What about that other Malamute from the dog park we saw?""WOO!""Guess that means she meets your approval.""Haha." The people present all began laughing. Yes the person Evelyn
"Ugh. Fucking kill me." Evelyn mumbled under her breath lifting her eyes to the man's voice. 'Of all the damn people, and all the damn days.' The last person she wish to hear from at this moment was now standing in front of her. Generally it would be more tolerable, but with her false little declaration in front of the media earlier, she knew this night was now taking a turn for the annoying... Well for her any how."I must apologize beautiful, I was unable to hear you just now.""I said hello Carlos. Are you having a good evening?""Ah as it turns out I am having an absolutely amazing evening!" Carlos threw his hands into the air demonstrating how excited he was with a large smile beaming ear to ear. It was honestly kind of creepy, as though a shark was smiling at you while you're in the middle of the ocean bleeding and no boats were in sight.'Gee call me crazy, but for some reason I feel I can take a random guess what has him so excited tod
"So what is it you wish to speak to me about?"Four days had passed since the party had come to an end. After delaying and delaying Evelyn figured she couldn't put off speaking to Carlos any longer. He was a customer who had contributed to boosting the fame of several smaller models, and brought in plenty of money as well. He couldn't lay a hand on The Garden even if he wished to. 'Though from a financial standpoint it would be foolish of me not to extort this connection for as much money as possible.' An evil smile began creeping over Evelyn's face as greed kicked in.'Especially with all the headaches I have developed over the years thanks to him, I think we are owed this!'"Well our company is actually planning a double launch. We have a resort's grand opening, also our clothing brand is launching a swimwear line too. I was hoping you would be willing to be our star model!""Carlos.. I-""Look here is the design I figured you could wear."
Two days passed by quite fast, and were mostly uneventful. Unfortunately for Carlos he called notifying Evelyn that the photographer he had arranged was sadly canceling on him due to a better offer. Which was currently leaving a very sour taste in his mouth.'This means I will have to resort to The Garden's photographer, which also means they will be using -' Carlos thought to himself face planting on his deskKnock Knock Knock."Jesus what the hell is that sound coming from in there?""I believe it is suppose to be some form of music.'"It sounds like a thousand angry monkeys beating random objects in a scrap yard with cats mating in the background. "Evelyn and Collen were both standing outside an apartment door with a very strange odor leaking from it."It almost smells like a greenhouse in there too.""It probably is one."Knock Knock Knock!"Has he gone deaf since we last
"I knew it! I fucking knew it! I swear I think that Irish bastard keeps going back to him just to irritate me" Carlos cried out stomping his feet throwing his cigar to the ground in anger."Woooo!" Cried out a very non masculine male voice"Okay so I will admit Bernard does an amazing job. But seriously look how much it is driving him mad! These are the moments that make dealing Bernard's quirks absolutely worth it. I mean how could I not hire him any time Carlos comes to us.""Well for starters usually the goal is to satisfy the client.""Usually I would agree, but when one has an ego as big as Carlos whom particularly loooves flaunting it. Fuck the client I would pay whatever he's putting forward just to see him stuffed in a glass box and throw a tantrum like this all day. Hell it's tempting to ask you for sex or a blow job just to really send him over the edge.""Hehe. You truly are evil. And who says I wouldn't?" Collen snapped his head to the
Elsewhere. "Sir we will be arriving shortly." "Aye. Thanks lad." An older man thanked his driver.. Sitting in the backseat of a luxurious sedan was an older man in dressed head to toe in both style and decadence. His appearance, voice and manners all refined almost to perfection, his aura commanded your attention. Yet he was currently smiling ear to ear like a giddy school boy. "It's been some time since I've seen you this excited sir. Are you sure it's okay for you to arrive without announcing yourself ahead of time?" "Bah. Now where would the fun be in that?" "Well I'm just saying sir. Someone of your stature should be recognized. You're far from a nobody." "Aye I suppose one could argue that, but I've never been one to enjoy my status. Besides there's a young man I wish to surprise." Backstage of the charity event. "Alright hurry now. We only have so much time to fix this disaster." Evelyn stated glancing back over her shoulder while maintaining a brisk pace. "Wait..
Present day."Evelyn!" Tatianna cried out in excitement holding her arms out preparing for a hug. Then there was Aurora. Every time the spotlight managed to find it's way to her, her silhouette managed to shrink. But as soon as the subject changed or Tatianna managed to deflect it away from her, Aurora would begin to recover. But this moment? Her silhouette shrank so much she could barely even be seen as a shadow.'That's Evelyn Constantine! That's Evelyn Constantine!' Aurora was currently in melt down mode. Her face was a bright tomato red. It wouldn't surprise her in the least if steam was visibly bellowing from her ears.'T-Two s-super models... Wait no three! AND I LOOK LIKE THIS!? Dear god Any other day I would pay to be in the presence of these women, but why today of all days do I have to look like a train wreck!?' Aurora clenched her teeth and eyes closed trying her best to prevent tears welling up in her eyes and furthering her disappointing appearance. Her current wardrobe,
"Think you can fuck with us !? Both of you can go to hell!" Sven roared charging at Collen. He was committed to his actions. Once in a while a little blood just had to be spilled. Of course it never did look good in the headlines, and would bring heat down upon all of the gangs in the area. But this was all acceptable. Police attention could be bought, and even if they were to launch an investigation, there was only one thing worse. A loss of respect. If the people you stand above don't respect you, soon the payments begin coming up short, then they'll stop altogether. Soon enough individuals, and neighborhoods will stop complying. That would leave you with two options. First uproot and find another neighborhood who doesn't know any better and crack a few skulls so to speak. The second. You crack every skull that speaks out against you. But at that point you've allowed a wound to fester, and it's only going to get worse. Instead of keeping a firm hand with one or two individuals from
"Huh?" Crutches stood dumbstruck. He had never once so much as uttered a word to Sven let a alone beat him to a pulp and send his car flying into traffic. 'Shit I'm still recovering from having my ass beaten to a pulp, I'm not gonna go out looking for a fight in this condition!' Sven smirked pointing his nose in the air. "As you can see it was a close fight. After kicking his ass I even showed mercy... I was the bigger man, chose to walk away of my own free will.. Then the bastard sucker punched me! And while my head was still spinning he began raining down blow after blow. Absolutely no honor among adversaries. 'No honor among adversaries!? I was never an adversary to begin with! I mean I won't say it's something I wouldn't do, but damn! If I'm going to be accused at least allow me to throw a few punches!' He thought as his mouth hung open bringing a whole to level of dumb to his expression. "Huh?" Tatianna uttered in complete dismay. 'I expected Sven to pull some shady shit in r
"So who are we looking for anyway?"...!!!'Oh shit! I hadn't even thought of that! What the hell am I going to tell Aurick!? Oh hey by the way that's the person who whooped my ass, sent my car flying into traffic, fingered me to the person who's car it hit, and the police! By the way it's also a girl who maybe weighs one hundred and ten pounds top!' Sven thought to himself, his eyes squeezed shut, clamping his hands to his head shaking it side to side. Sure Aurick was a long time friend, and if there's anyone who would possibly let this go it would be him. That being said some times friends are the ones to give you the most shit above anyone else. The closer you were, chances are the more shit you'll take."ERRr.... About that... " Sven mumbled.'Man I'll just have to bite the bullet and tell him what happened. Obviously neglecting to mention the information about how I've been extorting the boss's clients after their debts were paid.'Sven sighed and began glancing side to side loo
"This is bullshit I'm telling you it wasn't my fault! RAAAAH!" Sven roared raking his dinner tray back and forth across the jail cell bars he currently found himself comfortably forced into, and when we say comfortably it was probably as comfortable as sitting on an angry porcupine. "As much as I'm enjoying these fine one star accommodations... LET ME THE FUCK OUT!""For the love of Christ all mighty will you shut up already!" An officer sitting at his desk groaned. Unfortunately he was the lowest ranked officer in their precinct therefore got the desk closest to the jail cells housing all of the lovely intoxicated and angry people who would love nothing more than to shove a stun gun up his nostril. "You know why you're in here!""No! No I don't know why I'm in here I'm telling you it's that -""It was your car that rolled onto a main road correct?""Well yes but it was -""There was an awful lot of money in your vehicle for someone who's records show as unemployed.""So what!? That's
"Ты хочешь снова упомянуть мою семью!? Я засуну свой кулак тебе в задницу и вытащу твою голову оттуда!" (You want to mention my family again!? I'm going shove my fist up your ass and pull your head back out of it! ) Tatianna roared pivoting on the pads of her foot and driving her knee hard into his ribs.CRACK!Though it wasn't super loud, there was certainly the audible sound of something fracturing or breaking."NYAAAAH!" Sven cried out in agony. He was usually the one doling out the beating not receiving them. To pour a little salt on the wound, it happened this was the first time he ever had anything either broken or fractured. Tatianna on the other hand was trying her best to control her laughter at his noises. She may have seen an anime or two in her time and couldn't help but feel his sounds were that of a cat girl doing the pawing motion.'If this is what passes for a gangster these days I don't ever want to meet who they consider the weak.' She shrugged."NYoo BEITCHEEEEEEE
A few minutes prior to Tatianna's encounter. "Yes boss.. Yes I'm on my way to McDonalds right now.""Ah is it the one the Devine girl works at?" A gruff yet smooth Russian accent came through the phone's speaker."Yes boss that's the one. What can I say it's my favorite." The man driving responded"Haha I can imagine why. It's quite the view if you know what I mean. But that reminds me, their debt was paid off I believe two months ago, you made sure to tell them and give my condolences about Mr. Devine right?""Of course boss. They were very touched by your words and the fact you were willing to knock down their debt to the exact amount borrowed after his death. Very generous if I do say so myself.""Good, good. Keep up the good work Sven. Though I lost that extra money, word will spread how compassionate and great Yuri is. People will flock to me for loans!""Hehe no doubt boss. Ah I'm here now." The man named Sven declared pulling into a parking spot shutting off his car. Sven look
"It's true! I had absolutely no desire to become a model! I was perfectly content working at McDonalds minding my own business when someone almost forced me to become a model." Tatianna declared with a straight face. ...No one present truly knew Tatianna which was currently their biggest dilemma. Assume she's joking and laugh? You could but what if she was being serious? Wouldn't laughing make them downright insensitive?'Sometimes I can't help myself.' Tatianna smirked watching the group look back and forth squirming under the imaginary pressure. "I'm joking. Well about being forced at the very least. Unable to maintain her straight face Tatianna emit a small chuckle her beautiful smile returning to her face.Everyone had been staring at her slack jawed especially James. He himself had never encountered any career models who hadn't grown up with that burning desire to launch a career, who wasn't willing to fight tooth and nail to follow their heart! 'This woman had no desire but r
