Underneath The Skirts

#21

TERRY

I DON'T know if today's gonna work,but it is worth trying,I have brought champagne and let Brad fix us something to eat,he was treating me to a home dinner date at his place,things are going perfectly well,he'll soon be taking me up to his room,and we'd get to that couple phase i have always wanted to jump into,he is just so sweet,i hardly know how to cook anything and there he was managing the kitchen like a pro,I want a thousand more nights like this one

CASMY

MICHAEL is less distracted nowadays,it is my time to slowly move in,he has to see me,but he spends days and nights in his room like a raccoon,and whenever i storm in he is quick to chase me out,I realized too late that he is treating me like the young sister he's never had,a young sister i suppose now he doesn't remember that he screwed

no

a step sister....scandalous don't you think

SKYLAR

IT WAS bad enough sitting in the dark at the front steps and seeing everything that goes on in the kitchen at Brad's house,they were happy,they were so happy,they were both in their own little world,perfect and less threatened while mine was crumbling down,I had to run away, I had to find my asylum,it was cruel to burst their bubble,the fact is i would loose a friend either way,if i tell her,I will loose her or maybe she will be forced to choose between me and Brad and that is a position i can't put her,she is too happy and I will be selfish and cruel to take that away from her

and if I don't tell her ,i will still loose her,because I won't be able to stand by and watch them live their perfect lives so happy and in no way could i ever be happy like them,I will have to create space between me and Terry and let Terry be happy with Brad,she must not divide herself

I would loose both of them happily ....if they would be happy

a car drove into the curb and blocked my view just as Brad was about to passionately kiss Terry

well if it didn't go down on his birthday,today it sure is going down

who is this that saved me from the view that would have hurt my heart than my eyes

it was a fancy car,a black shiny jaguar and i wasn't expecting a visitor,at least not one that drives a black jaguar

but yet i had not expected the person who walked out of it

CASSANDRA

I HAD not yet realized i was at Skylar's house,until I pulled over

I did my calculation and decided ,'why not her' Casmy was so not on the list and we never liked each other anyway

terry was not my type either,and we had never been closer,as for Skylar,we knew each other since kindergarten,we knew each other before terry popped in,we drifted apart silently but there was a bond of sisterhood shared once upon a time before our pride reaped us off each other

she stopped calling and coming over and i stopped making efforts

but here we are and we both had secrets of our own that made us alike more than  anything

she seemed shocked to see me,trust me ,I too was shocked to find myself sitting beside her

"hey" I said casually

"uuh hi" she said unsurely

"no,i'm not in the wrong place if you are wondering why i am here"

" i am shocked"

"I came to talk"

"ooh!" she said..trying to release the tension and uneasiness building in her body
