“So what are you doing for today?” Sofia asked “I am guessing I look fine” she posed in front of the mirror in Audriana’s bathroom.
“You always look good girl, Those skinny jeans look great for your bum” Audriana complimented.
“Thank you” Sofia bent a bit and put her hand on her knee then did a little twerk “I know I have a great ass” she giggled.
Audriana walked up to her whilst giggling, and slapped her ass lightly “Yes baby girl, show them who’s slaying”
“I’m slaying, I’m slaying” Sofia continued twerking and Audriana continued hyping her.
“Yeah, girl” Sofia stopped and they giggled.
“I need to leave now,” Audriana went to her bed and picked up her purse then slung it over her shoulder.
“To where?” Sofia asked when Audriana turned to her.
“Dimitri wants to meet,” Audriana answered.
“Where are you guys meeting?”
“El Malifo De Mantre”
Sofia looked at Audriana’s hair which was in a ponytail to her brown sweater then down to her skinny jeans and flats.
“Don’t tell me you are going to see him in a place like ‘El Malifo De Mantre’ with this look” Sofia gestured to her outfit.
Audriana looked down at her clothes and went to the front of the mirror to look at herself then twirl before turning to look at Sofia who came out of her closet with a dress and pair of shoes in her hand.
“I am going to give you a makeover again and no excuses” she placed the dress on the bed and the shoes on the floor. “He got to know what is happening here”
“Sofia, I don’t want a revealing dress… I haven’t even touched all the clothes you bought for me some months ago and you keep buying more” Audriana took off her sweater and wore her robe before sitting on the chair in front of her dresser table “I don’t want to show much skin, and the other night was enough proof to show what’s going on here” she turned to look at Sofia in the eye.
“I have never dressed up or tried to look good for any guy, just some comfy sweater and skinny jeans and I had them trailing after me. I won’t start that all because of a man I don’t want around me. I don’t even want him to like me or find me attractive” she faced the mirror.
“If he doesn’t like my appearance, he should go suck his toe or shove it down his throat.” She removed her hair from the ponytail and placed the band used in tying her hair on the dresser table.
“I understand you girl,” Sofia walked up to the bed and picked up the dress she got from the wardrobe. “I hope this isn’t too revealing.” Sofia stood by the bed holding up the dress with a smile.
Audriana looked at her from the mirror and smiled too.
***
He was tapping the table with his finger impatiently as he continuously took a sip from his cup, looked at his watch and at the door whenever a customer came in.
“Where the hell is she?” he asked himself in a whisper.
There is one thing he hates. Waiting for someone, it should be the other way round, not this way.
He looked at his watch one more time, bringing the cup closer to his mouth when he heard someone coming. He looked up to see who entered and JESUS CHRIST he almost dropped his cup but he immediately composed himself and put it on the table still looking at her.
The golden-haired woman in a one-shoulder cream-colored bodycon dress that reaches up to her knees, coupled with silver Jimmy Choo heels and a purse slung over her shoulder, looked around the restaurant when she entered, then their eyes met and she walked up to him, taking the seat facing him.
He composed himself and sat up properly, before calling the waiter to pack up his drink.
“I never knew you were this desperate,” he whispered when the waiter left. His eyes traveled from her face to her neck then upper body, then the tabled before looking back up at her face.
She had a smirk on her face. She caught him checking her out.
“And I never knew you secretly admire the women you insult,” she whispered back.
“What do you mean?” He narrowed his eyes at her, knowing what she meant.
She flipped her hair, leaned back on the chair, and then crossed her legs, maintaining the smirk with one of her brows raised.
That gesture did a lot to him but he tried his best to hide it. He gulped when his eyes went to her chest area. His gaze stayed there for a while before he managed to take his eyes away to his hands then back to her.
“You very much know what I am talking about,” she said, smiling the most.
“You are so wild, not as innocent as I imagined you to be,” he leaned in.
“You are so stupid, not as smart as I imagined you to be” she leaned in also.
His face was contoured in anger and she was calm, staring at him. It was like a staring contest, his stare was so intense and she wanted to look away but determined she wouldn’t.
Their stare was interrupted by flashes from the window, he was the first to look away, she noticed the frown on his face and looked at where he was looking.
There were some people with their phones up facing them and the people were giggling and pointing as they recorded them.
“Shit… Let’s go” he said, dropping some bills and standing up taking her with him. “Stupid people” he muttered.
“What? Why insult them, you jerk” she drew her hand from his when they were in the garage some meters from his car. She felt angry by that statement. “They adore you, why be so hostile towards them?” she asked
He turned to her and stepped closer to her till there was no space left.
“They can’t mind their freaking business, damn! They make me angry. Stupid gossip, can’t focus on their business only to bother people and jump to conclusions. And you think they adore me? Tell me?” he said.
She felt anger towards him some minutes ago but it was gone when she looked deeply into his eyes.
He looked vulnerable. Frustrated. Sad.
She wondered what brought these to this jerk of a human. He seems hard and like a womanizing jerk.
‘Which he is’
Her inner mind pointed and she agreed but it seems like there is more to this bad boy look. But does she want to find out that more or just let him be the jerk he plays himself to be?
Her eyes seem to be calling to him, to be telling him something… oh how he wants to pin her to his car and kiss the hell out of her but he is rethinking his decision, whether it was worth getting kicked in the balls or not. Still looking into her eyes, he decided it was worth it but he very much loved his nuts so he decided against that and looked away, looking around the garage.
His eyes caught a red-haired woman who had shades on. She was carrying a small handy purse and a big bag. Her yellow jumpsuit hugged her body so well and the swaying of her hip was…
Wait… is she th–
His train of thought was interrupted by a pain on his arm, his face contoured as he rubbed the place the pain was. He looked back at Audriana who had an annoyed look on her face.
“You deserve it” she turned away and strutted towards her car.
He turned his head to look at the woman he was watching some seconds ago but she wasn’t in the garage. He sighed and looked at the place Audriana left and saw that she was gone also.
He sighed again and rubbed his hand on his face before walking to his car and getting in. He waited for a while before driving off.
“I better let him be the jerk he is,” Audriana said as she drove towards Sofia’s place.

“Keep track of her, and I want a daily update… am I clear?” she waited for the other person on the other line to respond before smirking “Good, come over to my apartment for your bonus reward, bring a bottle of wine along,” she said before cutting the line.
She dropped the phone on her bed and walked inside her bathroom, she switched on the light and stood in front of her bathroom mirror. Her red hair was tied in a towel… her little freckles could be seen and that disgusted her.
No amount of makeup or treatment could remove them from her face and the more she thought about it, the more she became angry. She rested her hand on the sink then looked deeply into her green orbs in the mirror and let a smirk play on her lips.
“This is not over” she let out a laugh.
