CHICAGO:Emma adjusted the rope that held the apron around her neck. "I don’t have to choke to get the work done." She muttered as she reduced the tightness of the rope a little bit. She looked gorgeous and had packed her blonde hair in a dough form. In her bar attendant uniform, she gazed around the busy atmosphere and her mind travelled to days spent at Gideon's bar in New York. It was always filled up and the noisy environment was as exciting as the club she was now working at. Just like Gideon's club, this place was lit and the warm expressions spread on the faces of the customers proved how much they loved the place. She smiled at Ellie her co-worker and now friend who was passing by with some tray of shots. She cleaned her forehead with her hand towel and resolved to clearing the empty glasses spread around the table before her. She was glad she had taken this job. Not only will the income help her fend for herself, she will also save to further her studies which she stopped
Emma looked at the mirror and kept marveling at the image projected by the glass. Her recently acquired flat belly and tender skin coupled with the thin figure she had, made her marvel over the wonders that could be achieved in a month at the gym. Since last month, she had taken her work outs seriously and went to the gym daily. The diet also helped. She knew it. She wondered why she hadn't visited the gym or placed herself on such diet after having Ryan. "In few months to come, I'll be the Emma I used to be”. She assured herself and smiled in the mirror feeling her tender skin and rubbing her flat belly. She was practically looking hot and sexy and of course, she won't she promised herself not to relent in her exercises. She slipped into her skimpy brown sleeveless dress and thought of releasing her hair. ‘Always in a dough’ she muttered as she loosened her beautiful blonde hair which fell unto her shoulders. She oiled it and combed it and her hair was soon glowing. She reddened h
Emma walked into the clothing store downtown. She felt she needed new dresses especially now that her body was altering exactly the way she wanted it. She wandered inside the store and suddenly her attention was drawn to a sleeveless red top which hung on one of the clothing hangers by the corner. She quickly grabbed the top and went to the large dressing mirror in the store. She imagined how beautiful it would look on her and suddenly someone whispered into her ears saying "It will look perfect on you. " She was immediately frightened and turned around to see who it was that made her feel this jumpy. It was Mr. Arrogant as she had been referring to him lately. “You scared me to death. " she revealed panting heavily. "Did I?" He asked still standing so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face. She quickly took few steps back. “What are you doing here? " she inquired. "Are you following me? " she further asked then resolved to check him out. He wore a classy blue jean
"You don't like the salad." Emma told Mr. Arrogant. He smiled halfway and nodded in affirmation. Emma was right. He despises salad. "You should have ordered something else. Why must you eat what I ordered in the first place? " asked Emma after sipping her glass of wine."I was just trying to be a gentleman. " he said. "So you'll deny yourself pleasure to satisfy a woman? " she asked him starring into his eyes. He relaxed his back on the chair and said "It depends on the woman. " "Or maybe women. " retorted Emma which he laughed lightly. "What gave you the conviction that I will show up tonight Emma asked him. "I don't really know. My hopes were kinda high and I believed you will show up. " he said wiping his mouth with a napkin. "And you turned up. You didn't disappoint. " he added. "And if I didn't turn up? " she asked again. "I'll reschedule and might turn up at your gym class tomorrow with a new invitation. " he said. "Jesus! " marveled Emma. "You've been tailing me for
