Make Over Part 2

WilsonI was very glad I shaved my legs. I sauntered out of the dressing room, feeling more confident. The longer I was in the outfit the more I began to like it. Dianna's expression told me she was impressed as well, but she quickly schooled it. "Well, I knew that one would suit you.""Out of the three, this is my choice.""That one is the most expensive. Of course, I'm sure Georgia is paying for all of this," she said, looking petty.I shrugged. "Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on this crap."She scowled. "Let's move onto shoes."I gathered up my old clothes and slipped on my sneakers before following her out of the back room. Georgia was in the main room, chatting to another one of the sales girls. She didn't notice me as we walked by and made our way downstairs."With that suit, you will want to go with a peep-toe pump," Dianna was saying as we made our way through a section that held only shoes. "I have the perfect pair in mind."I nodded dumbly, because I had no idea what

Calloway's Wealth

WilsonGeorgia kept staring at me as we made our way down the street, trying to hunt down her driver. I tried not to feel self-conscious, but it was hard not to. I wasn't used to being so... decked out. And it also kind of irritated me that she hadn't stared at me before I'd gotten all dolled up, but even I could begrudgingly admit that I'd gone from a solid six to a ten with my new makeover."Why don't we just take the subway?" I suggested, turning back to frown at her and catching her ogling me again.She coughed a bit and placed a hand over her eyes to shade them from the sun as she looked around for her driver."Were you aware that about fifteen percent of the air you breathe in on the subway is actually skin particles? And not just from exposed skin. From the whole body.""How in the world do you know that?""I like to read," she answered. "It was in a study of the metro back in 2008."She didn't seem like the type of person to read. But it kind of explained how she knew such ran

Third Wheel

WilsonThe elevator opened and we walked down a dimly lit hall, my heels clicking on the hardwood floors. I tried to walk lighter, but the sound was still deafening in my ears. I swallowed nervously as we passed a pair of stumbling women who were giggling loudly. They eyed Georgia and whispered to each other. I tightened my grasp on her.We pushed through a set of glass doors and stepped outside and suddenly my ears were blasted with the sound of laughter and music. A gust of warm air brushed my bare skin and my mouth fell a little. The lights from the city twinkled all around us, only blocked by one side of the hotel towering above us. There were pillars put up sporadically with little lantern lights hanging from them, emitting a soft glow. It was beautiful. The sun was setting now and I could only imagine what the view would be like when it was completely dark.Wooden tables were set up on the floor, many of them right along the edge of the roof to give the customers the best view.

Getting To Know

Wilson"What are you doing here?" I asked Solene. I thought Georgia and I were on a date."Georgia was scared of being alone with you so she made me tag along.""That's not it at all!" Georgia snapped, leaning back in her seat a little."I thought you would feel more comfortable if it wasn't just the two of us."I wondered why she thought inviting a third person who was also a stranger to me would make it any less awkward. But Solene did have this calming aura around her. I already felt more comfortable."Is it cheesy to say that you look handsome?" Solene said, smiling at me a little.I touched my hair and grinned back at her. "Maybe a bit.""Of course, she's beautifully handsome. Would you expect anything less from those whom I employ?" Georgia said haughtily and thank God a waiter appeared with our wine just then."Sassicaia Red, sir?" he asked, the words foreign to my ears.I took a glass and let him fill it up, immediately taking a sip when he pulled away. The taste of it made my

Where's Wilson

Georgia"Georgia, what are you waiting for?" I stared at the door Wilson had just exited through, my mouth hanging a bit. For the first time in a while, I was left speechless. Not only from the insult of her words, but also from her fierceness. No one had ever spoken to me like that. Not even my best friend. And the hairflip? Was it necessary?"Georgia," Solene repeated, a hard edge in her voice.Turning to her, I cleared my throat and sat up in my seat a little straighter."W-what?"Her eyebrows lifted a litle but she quickly schooled her featured into a disapproving look. "Why are you just sitting there? Go after him."Go after him? "Why would I do that? You heard what he just said to me.""Have you even been listening to yourself all night?" She interjected."Seriously, George. I knew you were ignorant but I didn't know it was this bad."I tried to think back and remember what I said. None of it seemed outrageously offensive to me. Maybe I could've worded a few things better, but

Truly Sorry

My heart skipped a beat and I found myself frozen. Wilson couldn't have gotten into trouble in this short span of time. That was impossible. But why was his phone on the ground and his nowhere to be seen?"Hey!" a sharp, very high and very familiar voice cried. I clenched the phone in my hand and turned. That was definitely Wilson's voice. And he was close. I looked around-how had I missed him walking by? The group of businesswoman were still standing on the sidewalk as I passed them again and I slowed my pace, listening hard for his voice again."Don't touch me, I'm fine!"I stopped dead in my tracks. His voice had come from the middle of the group."We're just trying to help," one of the woman said. She was old and I couldn't see her face because her back was to me. She bent down and as she straightened up Wilson appeared in front of her, his hair disheveled."Let go," he demnanded again, his voice as huge as him.What did they think they were doing?My jaw clenched and I stepped f

Siblings Problem

Wilson's POV"Ughh," I groaned, pressing on my temple and trying to ease the pounding of my headache. I really hadn't thought it through when I'd decided to get drunk the night before. Not to mention the fact that I hadn't even gotten home until two in the morning and then had to wake up at eight to get ready for my nine-to-five shift. All in all, I felt like crap.Arian smirked at me from the other side of the store, where he was currently wiping down tables. I'd volunteered to do it initially, but the smell of bleach made me want to puke. I glanced at my phone, expecting to see a missed call from Georgia, but there was nothing. Had I scared her away last night? She'd definitely deserved my attitude, but I wondered if I was too harsh.I snorted. I wasn't even going to entertain that thought for a moment. She totally deserved it. Hopefully, she'd learned something from it. Admittedly, I was still a little worried. What if she didn't want to use me as his pretend boyfriend anymore? T

Good Changes

She'd left me Aspirin? That was surprisingly sweet. I'd been in such a rush to get to bed I hadn't even emptied out that bag though. "I missed it. Did you go out to buy it? You didn't have to. It was my choice to drink and I'll deal with the consequences.""I carry it around with me," she told me and I imagined her shrugging. "I get headaches often.""Oh. Well still, thank you," I said awkwardly. She sounded weird today. Meek, almost. Maybe I had been a little too rude to her. I couldn't remember my exact words, so I wasn't sure. But it was definitely weird to have Georgia acting this way. Creepy, almost. "Listen, Georgia, about last night.""It's okay," she said immediately. "I've been, for lack of better words, a bitch. Don't apologize because you haven't been doing anything wrong. It was me."Just what exactly had I said the night before? Whatever it was, it worked. I was impressed. "Okay.""Can we move past this? I want this to work and not be awkward between us. I will do my b

Georgia's Mom

Back at home and after showering, I was once again facing the dilemma that all my clothing was old and baggy. I debated wearing the suit I'd worn last night but didn't want to wear dirty clothing. Which left me with a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt, my usual attire. I didn't think it mattered this time since I was just going to her house it wasn't like I was meeting anyone.Hopefully.The minute I saw a car pull down my street I rushed out of my apartment and locked it behind me. As I hurried down the stairs I looked at the apartment below me and was surprised to see a couple of squatters hanging out instead of the usual woman. A couple of them stared at me and a couple waved and I waved back a little awkwardly. One squatter was fine but five? Our landlord was going to notice eventually. And I wasn't sure how comfortable I felt with all the locks in this place being shodd.Shaking my head, I exited the main door. I'd figure that out later. I headed over to Georgia's black BMW a

Her House

Georgia made a noncommittal noise and pulled down a side street that led tO a small cul-de-sac surrounded by trees. I turned my attention out the window and thought it was odd that there weren't any houses on the street until my eyes fell across the house at the furthest edge of the cul-de-sac.I immediately knew it was Georgia's house. She seemed the type to want to be the only house on the street. Amazingly though, it wasn't some gigantic mansion. It wasn't small by any means and it definitely looked like someone who had money owned it, but it actually did seem modest. Most of the house stood two stories tall with the exception of one side that was only one story, with dark brown paneling complemented by a deep jade gable roof. With the surrounding woods, it gave off a picturesque feel.The one thing it had that I was expecting was an iron gate surrounding the property. Georgia hit a button on the roof of her car and the gates opened allowing us entrance. She drove down her drivewa
