Lies, Lies And More Lies✔️

23: What's The Plan?

"I'm your guest, Ana. Are you really making me cook your lunch?"

"Hey! You know what you got yourself into when you showed up at my door." Naborhi said before taking a bite into her apple.

"Right. I should have gone to Tosin's. She treats me like a princess." I glared at Naborhi who tossed her half eaten apple at me. Even after so many years, she hadn't changed one bit. Being here with her reminded me of the sleepovers we'd had when we were growing up. The only things missing were Ziora, Zahrah and several tubs of ice cream. Most of my childhood memories included all three girls.

"Well, I am the queen. The queen outranks the princess, so, get to cooking! Chop, chop!" She snapped her fingers and I scowled at her.

"I hate you, Ana."

"I love you too, boo boo." She mimicked my words from earlier on, blowing me a kiss.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Tiara ignore-my-calls Digiola." Ziora glared at me from the screen of the computer and I shielded my face with my hands. Naborhi had decided to FaceTime Ziora and Zahrah so we could all catch up. I'd been dodging calls from both girls to avoid talking about my fake engagement.

"What are you doing?" Naborhi pulled my hands away, eyeing me. She wanted me to face the wrath of my friends face on.

"What do you have to say for yourself, huh?" Zahrah joined in with an expressionless face. She seemed more interested in picking at her nails than anything else.

"I haven't been ignoring your calls. I've just been super busy and tired and I've just got a lot on my plate right now." I sighed and all three girls stared at me, waiting for an explanation. "W-What? I'm not talking about it!"

"A problem shared is a-"

"Lies!" Naborhi cut in and we all glanced at her in shock. "It's all lies! Don't share your problems with anyone, girls. They'll just quote you to the press and get a handsome pay day."

"Ana?"

"Sorry. Bad memories just came up." Naborhi waved off her previous statement. "Why don't you share with the class, Tia? We're listening."

"Yeah, Tiara." Ziora encouraged. "We're gonna get back to you, Ana."

"It's just work stuff, really. It's nothing." I said. I wasn't ready to tell them what really happened just yet. I needed to solve this on my own.

"That's bullshit!" Naborhi countered. "She showed up at my house in her PJ's."

The girls gasped and I glared at Naborhi. She was such a blabber mouth.

"Tiara?" With all eyes on me, I finally cracked and let it all out. These girls always had a way of making me spill my guts to them.

"I hate Ruby so much! I just might be locked up in the most isolated prison cell after I'm done with her!" I screamed afterwards.

"Uh oh." I heard Naborhi comment from behind me but I paid no heed to her, I was in rant mode now.

"She is so evil! I don't know why she's trying so hard to ruin my life!" I put my hands into fists as I suppressed myself from screaming out loud once again.

"What did your evil cousin do this time?" Zahrah asked and I scoffed, shaking my head. They knew all about Ruby and her evil antics. They hated her as much as I did and it was thanks to me that they hadn't kidnapped and tortured her like they had offered to do before when we were much younger. The idea was getting pretty tempting right now.

"She told my parents that I was pregnant which is most definitely a lie."

"What!" They all screamed and I nodded.

"She has literally managed to single handedly turn my own parents against me."

"That bitch!" Naborhi yelled and I nodded. Ruby was a bitch and worse.

"Wait. Why do your parents believe her? Didn't you tell them she was a lying ass?"

"She presented a test kit as evidence and convinced them that it was mine. They ate it all up."

"Bullshit! They're your parents. They should-"

"Be on my side? Support me? Well, they didn't."

"That sucks." Zahrah said and I gave a heavy sigh.

"You're gonna take a test though, right?" Ziora asked and I shrugged. I was honestly on the fence about that one.

"I shouldn't have to go to these lengths just to prove my innocence to my parents. Like, did they even consider the fact that the test kit might have been Ruby's cause I'm so freaking sure it was hers. Guys, I think she's pregnant.

"She's sure to fail then. She's going to start showing in a couple of months and then her secret shall be exposed. Amen!" Naborhi declared and the girls chorused an 'Amen' in response.

"If she keeps the baby that is." I commented. "She's definitely not thinking of keeping the baby. I know Ruby. She's way too self absorbed to care for a baby."

"We need to take the bitch down anyways." Zahrah said, leaning closer to her web camera. "What's the plan?"

"We kidnap her."

It's a short chapter cause I just wanted it to be purely a reunion chapter between the girls and no external drama.
