FIFTY ONE
A day before the dinner party at Lily's grandparents' house. I saw Lena at her company, which wasn't so bad. After I talked to Athena about my encounter with a famous producer, she was thrilled. She decided to take a paternity test for the results of her baby's father. I have never seen my sister look as nervous as ever, which was rare coming from a sister who could speak her mind. "Now, who's sulking?" I retort the words on my own to Lily, who today isn't in her best mood since that night. We are at our usual hang-out, and Lily doesn't seem hungry. "You haven't touched your food." Lily stayed in silence, staring off into space. I know that look. I had that look. I invented that look. Well, actually, no, but I was in that state. When she and I went to that dinner party, her grandparents' host. They introduced us to the Naval family, the groom's family. Then during dinner time, Seema, Lily's grandmother, was introduced along with her husband Vishal Haasan with the rest of the gue

The only thing he last heard was he had moved to California."So, this whole time, you have not found him?" I asked.Odin loft his tea and elegantly took a sip like he was royalty. "I had Terry look for him."I learned that the severe-looking bodyguard is named Terry Young."It's no wonder I don't see him here with you. He's like a magnet keeping a watchful eye on anyone close to you.""Are you interested? Terry is single." He said. "Shy with the women, but he's a good guy."I shook my head vigorous

"Great job," Lena told me over the speaker.I pulled down the large headphone panting with a dry throat. "Thanks, Lena.""Come have a drink, and we can continue next weekend."I hung the headphones and went to the recording room's small lounge. Lena hands me room-temperature water. It quenched my thirst and almost had me finish the bottle."Although you aren't officially a trainee, it seems that you don't need the voice lessons." Lena pours a small liquid bottle into an electronic cigarette. She saw me stare at her and then at the pencil size device. "Oh? Chris wanted me to quit smoking and insisted I do water vapor.""Your six-year-old son told you that?""He may be in elementary school, but that boy has an adult brain."I laughed, taking another drink to moistenmy throat."He told me his teacher taught his class that smoking is bad and can cause cancer." She groaned, rolling her eyes while taking a inhale of the vape. "Chris is scared I might die soon if I don't stop.""Well, they

I waved once more, leaving the building. I saw Wolfe's share of the Hummer vehicle. I climb inside, kissing Logan or two. As I unbuckle my seat belt, I find Nina watching us from inside through the glass walls like a creepy girl you see in those scary ass movies. She just stood there looking at us. I felt the unfeeling vibe getting goosebumps on my bumps, and the tiny hairs on the back of my head went up."Baby girl, you okay?"Logan's voice snapped my senses as I gave him a nervous smile. "Oh, nothing. Just thinking.""Oh, okay, what do you want for dinner?""Anywhere is fine.""You know I heard Jordan's family have a diner.""The first day you got here, you do not have once eaten there?""Hey, this is the first time I heard of it." He protested. He started the drive hitting the freeway."Well, you are missing out, baby boy," I tease him. "Their burgers are Magnifique.""Oh my god, I love it when you speak another language. It's turning me on," he groaned as he shifted a bit in his s

"Girl, when are you and Logan going to throw it down," Clark asked.Today it's just Clark and me at the library for once. Lily is busy with the arranged marriage and goes on a date with Kareem while she still thinks of Liam. The whole not-virgin-anymore freaked her out, and she's between two guys who she can't handle. As for Odin, I haven't seen him for days. He's probably with a lady friend he told me about and having lunch together someplace.I groaned, scratching my head. "I've been trying to throw it down, but he keeps getting distracted, and there are also interruptions," ie. Seth. I groaned to myself. When I couldn't concentrate on the math homework, I threw my pencil, making a growling noise when the librarian shushed me. "What am I doing wrong? Is it me? I know my skin has these markings, and it's not attractive. I ain't skinny like Lily and-""Whoa, stop right there," Clark stopped me from hyperventilating. "First of all, there is nothing wrong with you. Second, ignore the s

We spent an hour at the mall, going to stores like Charlotte Rousse or H&M, until we finally made it to the Halloween store. The store that had it open was vacant, making it easier for people to shop for costumes.It's only the second week of October, and many people are inside. Children are much more excited than I am when it comes to Halloween.Inside the Halloween store, I see it as Candyland. Everything isn't made out of candy but scary masks, make-up, and costumes. I look at the teen aisle, searching for the perfect couple costume for me and Logan to wear, but teenager costumes can't fit these huge thighs of mine. And Logan is too massive to wear anything smaller than his large frame."Hey, Effie, why don't you and Logan be Batman and Catwoman?" Lily held up two costumes.I stare at the Catwoman costume with the picture of a slim brunette hair lady with the same skin color as Halle Berry, who wore the outfit when she portrayed the character in the movie.I shook my head.
