UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 1 – 10

UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 1 – 10

Leslie is a secret party freak , she likes boys but I’m yet to prove that since she’s my nice sweet older sister.

Alexa is worse , she doesn’t hide anything and she barely cares that my parents cares. She has a tattoo on her waist and back and it’s weird her parents doesn’t care.

My parents hated the fact that Alexa had to be our cousin. They see her as a bad egg. A really bad egg. I sort of like her a little though. She’s pretty with a pierced nose.

” We’re partying tonight, you wanna come ?” Alexa ask.
” Party ?”
” Yes party.” Alexa squeal. I turn to look at Leslie who acts like she doesn’t care.

” What about mom and dad ? They hates party too remember ?”
” Ditch that. I will handle that.”
” What are you gonna tell them ?” Leslie ask.

” That I have church service this evening and we won’t be back till 10.”
” Mass doesn’t take place at night.” I press.

” Ari, why are you boring ? When last did you party ? Have you ever party at all ? It’s gonna be fun. Plenty of boos and boys from all over New York and college.” Leslie seems to be interested cause her eyebrows lift with a grin.

I’m still not interested. I mean even if they ever go , I’m still gonna be the goat. Mom finds joy in ordering me around and making life unbearable for me. And on a second thought , I’ve been indoors and doing nothing.

I’m tired of staying at home and doing nothing. I keep on remembering how broken i am.
” Okay fine. Don’t you think 10:pm is too late ?”
” Ariel live a little.” Alexa smirk snapping her fingers.

” First we’re gonna go shopping for creative wears. You’re not gonna dress like you’re going to a funeral.” Alex says directing her speech to me.
” What about mom ?” I ask while Leslie listens.

” She won’t allow us go out this morning to buy clothes.”
” They are not around, dummy.” Leslie snap at me.

I shrug and breathe in. This is totally a bad idea and I’m grateful I’m not the only one risking it.
” Go brush your teeth. We’re getting dressed. And please dress normal.” Alexa smirks and leave with Leslie who is swaying to a music on her playlist.

I heave a deep breath and rush to the bathroom to shower. I get dressed on just a simple black jeans trousers and t-shirt. I know I look normal even if not hot.

I walk out of my room only to find Leslie and Alexa giggling. Alexa is a fashion model. She fits perfectly on her red short dress with straps and a black leather jacket hang on her shoulders.

Leslie was pretty and I regretted coming in the first place. Their stares made me feel that way.
“Let’s go.” Alexa snorts and lead the way with her nice stilettos clicking against our floor.

I feel like I’m sixteen. Alexa drives a real modern Ford car and it’s beautiful compared to my box. All thanks to that stranger.

I sit at the back seat like a timid girl while Leslie and Alexa dance to the rap music. I really can’t tell who’s the artiste. She stops by a boutique and without warning I know it’s out of my league.

I can’t afford this type of designer clothes.
We’re not broke but my parents choose to live awkwardly , maybe because they both serve in a Catholic parish.

” Alex , these are expensive.” I mutter looking around every wears and their tags. Givenchy , Louis Vuitton , Fendi and every classy label you could think of.
” I’m paying. Go on Les.”

” How can you afford all of this ?” I ask once Leslie was out of sight.
” Ariel , I’m a model and I have a boyfriend.” She snorts and pick out a nearly no clothing type of dress.
” You should try that.” She throws the dress at me and the strap is not my thing and it’s short.

I can’t wear a strap dress it’s too revealing. It has a short split and I’m sure that split is for revealing a perfect toned thighs.

” Check me out boo.” Leslie walks out of the closet wearing a sleeveless blue dress. So short.
” You’re hot.”
” I’m keeping it.” Leslie smile. Why would she wear that ?

” Ari , you’re keeping that.” Alexa says picking out a purple strap dress for herself too , but hers is laced and nearly see through.
After countless convincing they forced me to buy it with Alexa telling me it’s only for tonight.
