Man I'm so jealous. I wish we could have gone to the party with Collen." Kendra groaned kicking a pebble on the sidewalk. The group were on their way to meet Bernard for their shoot in the city.
"You already know Daphne and Alison are having a welcoming party coming up soon."
"Yea but -"
"And you've been to all kinds of parties from every walk of life. I think you can live with missing this one."
...
"Okay so I just want to go with Collen."
"Get in line."
...
Daphne and Alison were walking behind them laughing at the pair. It was clear over the years they've become very close. One couldn't help but imagine a mother and daughter walking side by side from their personalities.
"So Where are we doing the shoot at?" Alison asked barely containing her excitement. She had so much fun the other day having their session down at the beach she couldn't wait for this one today. Despite having no spot light shine

"Alright everybody. We're one hundred percent sure there's no one else in the building now minus the people who need to be here correct?"Everyone nodded.The women were all herded out of the building to a bus that would take them to medical professionals, for both their mental and physical well being. Also Collen gave each person one hundred thousand dollars to start their lives over after all some of the women volunteered to work there. This was how they made their money and they accepted these facts, but with what Collen had in mind they would be out of a home and work, in need a fresh start. While a life working the streets was a rough life, it was still a life. It put food in their bellies and a roof over their heads. It would be up to them to take the money and this opportunity for a fresh start and do something with it. Collen also made living arrangements for every girl working there. He bought up a small apartment building and was intending to allow the

...The atmosphere began quickly turning cold. To anyone in the world that Irishman could be just about anybody. But there was only one person who was Irish that was close enough to Evelyn for rumors to spread. And everyone there knew the said Irish person, and all of them were very fond of him.... Including one man who was damn near drooling on himself from all the mushrooms, but those words seem to haVE instantly sobered him up. The girls had only ever seen Bernard not smile one time, and that was when Collen took his mushrooms from him. But the expression on his face was nothing compared to the one that was currently on his face.But it wasn't just Bernard. Kendra who loved Collen, Daphne who felt like she was beginning to fall for him. And Alison who was grappling with the relationship dynamics surrounding him was unsure of her feelings, but thought the world of him. All of them rounded their gazes on Carlos giving him a downright nasty look. Evelyn's face for the

"Told you she would." Evelyn someone whispered in Evelyn's ear, his breath tickling her neck."EE!" Evelyn pounced into the air like a cat after being scared, spinning to face the voice. Though she recognized it halfway through the sentence. She didn't detect his presence in the least. Despite the fact he had been standing there for almost a minute waiting for her to realize he was there, noticing she was still oblivious Collen figured he would both tease her and reveal himself.'Either Alison is so enthralling or I still got it!' Collen mentally pumped his fist for his accomplishment. Though to be fair it was most likely a combination. Even Collen had stood with his eyes glued to Alison after he first approached the group."I was beginning to wonder if you were going to show up... Wait a second.. Weren't you going to a party?""And I did."...."And the hardhats on your head?""It was a contractor themed party.""And those men

"Carlos shouldn't you slow down a little bit." A girl asked as Carlos tilted his glass back guzzling down the liquor inside like it was the nectar of the gods."Ah I apologize my dear. Today was... Disappointing I suppose." Carlos admitted. "So what are we waiting for! It's a party isn't it!? Let's get more drinks over here!""Yes sir! Right away Mr. Olivera!" Carlos was sitting in a booth with a woman on each arm, dressed quite sharp if he had a say so himself. And was surrounded by many of his friends and either their families or dates for the evening all of whom were either in booths themselves or the closest tables."Order anything you all would like! Drinks, food, it's all on me tonight!" Carlos cheered giving everyone present a charming smile."Alright that's Carlos for you! Always the generous man!" One of his friends cheered raising his glass to him."When are you going to take us to a place like this!" One woman scolded her date."W

"Hey that's Evelyn Constantine!" Cried out a man near the front door."Oh my god she's more beautiful in person!""I know she's here to eat but I wonder if she would be willing to take a picture with me!"Just like that Carlos's spirit began crumbling. The reason he was here with this group of people trying to lift his spirits, was now here! Of all the people in the world, of all the restaurants In New York City. 'She had to choose this one! Why!? Is this god trying to drive me insane!? Am I being punished!?' The restaurant manager had given Carlos a waiter who would stay with him throughout the duration of their visit. She now stood a few feet away waiting for someone to have need of her, or a duty to fulfill."Let me get a refill." Carlos said nodding towards his drink."Yes sir right away." Without hesitation the waiter picked up a bottle of scotch and filling Carlos's glass. Carlos quickly raised the glass drinking down it's content

"So let me get this straight. All I have to do is beg and you'll pay for everything.. For our WHOLE party right?" Collen asked smiling like a hungry wolf. Carlos examined his face for a brief moment wondering what he could be playing at? 'The way he said that feels off.' Carlos thought to himself. But he decided to ignore that deep down feeling, brushing aside his judgement."Yea that's right ALL of your people can order anything you want and I'll pay. That even includes you, your lucky day right?" Carlos taunted him returning a similar wolfish smile. 'I'll take your dignity, all these girls will see what a loser you are, and I'll take them next!' Carlos thought as his confidence began returning. 'This man has nothing compared to me. This time I'm going to show him that.'"Okay. Everyone heard that right?" Collen asked in a raised voice so everybody could hear him, his tone almost giddy like somebody had been tickling him. Mainly looking at the manager ensuring h

.....'What the hell is going on...' This was the only thought that popped in Carlos's head as he watched the spectacle unfolding before him."HAHAHAHA!" The entire restaurant including the staff, and Carlos's friends were all dying of laughter Collen was the center of everyone's attention. But not in a way Carlos wished for. 'THEY LOVE HIM!?'Collen was standing on the center of the table surrounded by multiple empty wine bottles."So then the bastard's running oout in the road wearing only his boots, gloves, sun glasses and a helmet, stark naked. And of all times a cop car pulls down the road and low and behold this is a different kind of deer in the headlights than they're used to. It seem to take almost a full minute for both parties to register what was happening, as neither moved for a solid minute finally the police flick on their lights. And the man starts to go this way, then turns the other way." Collen continued his story in his thi

..."Well how bad is it!?" Carlos asked beaming ear to ear unable to contain his smile with his usual poker face. 'It must be pretty bad considering the looks on their faces. Just how broke is this poor shmuck.' Carlos was absolutely giddy. In this moment he was going to discover just how pitiful of a life Collen was leading. This is the definition of pleasure! No this is Bliss! This was the long awaited moment for Carlos! Years now he was convinced Collen was nothing but a poor slob absolutely no good for Evelyn or this world. 'Evelyn may believe she's in love with this human waste bin, but if I'm even slightly correct.... She's a smart girl, she'll have to recognize just how useless he really is! Even if she does think he's good looking, eventually beauty fades! Will she really want to take care of some fat useless slob forever?' As he finished that thought an image flashed through his mind. Picture a movie scene where the camera was focused on a fat Collen wearing a hat an

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!?

"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!
