'Challenges are what make life interesting, overcoming them is what makes them meaningful'
****
We both have ragged breathes.We stop for awhile to pass air into our lungs.And start again...
Hey!don't misunderstand.
I am not kissing Linn.Actually I am running after her to kick her ass for making me go to that party.Aren't best friends suppose to understand your feelings? Linn is so dead.
"Evy, I didn't compell you to go,did I? You were the one to agree."Linn shouted from other end of pool.
"Don't play smart Linn"I shouted back at her.
"Fine.Let's negotiate."Linn said,coming towards me.
I laughed at her and said ,"This is not bussiness deal Linn.I just want to kick your ass.That's all."
Linn is grinning so widely. Something's wrong!
Oh yes!
"LINN NOO..
Linn pushed me into the pool and dived in herself.
I am not GOOD at swimming.
Linn caught my hand and said,"How was it?"
"You little devil..you know I can't swim."I said , gritting my teeth.
"Okay,I will bring you pizza.Fine?" Linn asked, raising both her eyebrows.
"Are you luring me Linn Levine? I will accept it only if you will do what I say.Fine?"I asked,smirking.
"Bring it on."Linn said,still grinning. Linn never backs out from a challege. That's most fascinating thing about her.
I whispered my challenge into her ears.And her grin changed into frown.
HA! All because of my challenge.
Linn literally dragged me out of the pool and said ,"Fine Evy..just wait and watch." Oh! It hit her nerves.
What I said was..
"You have to look the sexiest in the party tonight"
I said it knowing that, Linn hates being the centre of attraction and loves being her usual coolself. Evil me.
Is it that hard for Linn?Maybe it is.
Linn doesn't like to dress up in a sexy way and I don't like parties at all. Fair enough.
***
I didn't know what to wear.I always used to go to club in my usual tshirt-jeans-converse combo with Linn.
However,I ended up in my white plane crop t-shirt, black pant.I put on my black coat and black heels.I tied my hair in loose high pony so that the little leftover curls of my dark black hair looks vivid.
I look like I am going for business meeting. Frustrating.
Linn was still in her dressing room. Oh god! How long will she take. I guess, being sexy is not an easy job.
I was wondering around Linn's huge home where she lives alone with kathy, her houseworker, whom Linn fondly calls granny.It is truly a modern piece to be in with all the equipments required. I think Linn loves to come to my home for company.
I was looking on the mirror in Linn's bedroom when my phone vibrated on the side table of her bed.
A book fell down from the table while I grabbed my phone hurriedly.
Why am I always in hurry?
"Hey Kathryn!I will stay at Linn's today."I said as soon as I picked up the phone.
"I might as well not come drummy, I have some work pending.I will stay with my friend"Kathryn said,finishing with a long sigh.
"You sound stressed,everything's fine?"I asked.
"Obviously.Everything is alright.Don't worry drummy" Kathryn replied,I can tell she is smiling at the other end.
"Don't smile Kathryn.And don't call me drummy."I said, smiling myself. Why am I smiling?
Kathryn laughed and said "Okay.Take care."
"Okay.Bye."I replied and hung up.
The book was still lying on the floor.I bent to pick it up..I found that it was a diary.The handwriting in it was familiar. Oh!Its Linn's handwriting.
Time doesn't really seem to be in my favor. First my mother and now .. How stupid of me to feel for someone who doesn't even count me as a girl. I am nothing for him. It really hurts to see him with other girls.I never knew his smile,his words, his playfulness will affect me like hell. There's no difference between me and all the clingy girls.At least they show what they feel...
"What are you doing under the bed?"Linn said,entering the room.
I threw the diary under the bed with a swift push and said, "Nothing,let's go.Are you ready?"
I stood up to see Linn.
Wicked!
Linn doesn't looks like Linn.I mean she looks sexy like hell in her short,really short black sleeveless dress that fits her body perfectly showing her long legs and her black heels.Her lips were covered in shades of red and her eyes,I don't know what she have done to it, it looks extremely smoky.Her brown hair cascading freely.
"Will you close your mouth Evy?Its fucking irritating.Do I look that bad? " Linn said,looking down at her.
I didn't know my mouth was open all this time.
"Oh no Linn.You look sexy like hell.I know all the boys are going to drool over you tonight.You win this challenge.No doubt." I said, still amazed at Linn.
With a little bow,Linn said"Let's go.Kemp is waiting for us downstairs."
Not waiting for me Linn turned to show her exposed back.
"You are going to catch cold.Carry a pullover." I said,walking after Linn slowly.Blame the heels I am wearing.I don't know how will I manage myself in these stupid heels.
"Its okay.I can handle"Linn said, ignoring my advice.
The way I am dressed and the way I am walking in these heels , no doubtedly, is making me look like Linn's bodyguard.But I am okay with it as Linn really needs a bodyguard tonight.
Kemp was waiting for us leaning on his shiny bluish black R8 . I can't deny he looked handsome in his coat and jeans. His dark brown hair rough but managed.
"Hey boss!"Kemp said, smiling at me.
Turning his gaze towards Linn Kemp said nothing.He was just staring at her. His mouth open in small o .Linn waved her hand infront of his face.
"Oh heeyy Linn!"Kemp stuttered.
"Hi" Linn muttered.
"You look umm..I don't know great"Kemp managed to say, his grey eyes sparkling with suprise.
"Umm..Thanks" Linn said, shades of red arising on her cheeks.
Oh!My best friend is blushing.
"Kemp is the first one to drool over you Linn.Count one."I said, interrupting their little staring competition.
Kemp seemed puzzled while Linn laughed at my statement.
"Let's go" Linn said while Kemp was still busy staring at my best friend.
Kemp took off his coat and gave it to Linn "Its cold out here.Take it"
How sweet!
Linn took it and covered herself.
"Okay..let's go"I said, running and taking a seat backside.
I don't want be the stick of the cotton candy, I mean I don't want to disturb them.
Evelyn! You are thinking too much, they are just old buddies,I scolded myself. But I don't know why but I wish they were couple. They look so cool and cute together.
Enough!
I was enjoying the view outside. New York is busy like ever.
OH! We will reach my home this way.Out of curiosity I asked, "Where are we going scumbag?"
"It's just a minute from here." Kemp replied, not giving more information.
Kemp stopped infront of FRIENDS cafe.
"What? Party is in here.I didn't know it had enough space for partying"I said,exchanging puzzled look with Linn.I am sure Linn is thinking the same.
"Huh!No no.Its in there." Kemp said, pointing to the same huge house infront of the cafe where nobody lived till today,I guess.
The gate opened welcoming us.Taking U-turn from there, we entered the glamorous place.
I always wanted to know how was the house from inside since I shifted here six months back.
Leaving us on the front of house,Kemp excused himself to park the car.
Linn handed him his coat as soon as Kemp joined us.
The fountain in front of the house was complimenting the fine evening.The house was beyond my imagination.I mean it was nothing like home,it was more like a club. No furnitures, just lights all around. Servers were here and there serving foods and two bars were situated on two ends. Whoever live here is surely a party freak!
"Welcome! Sir is waiting for you at the bar there" a man said,pointing towards the bar.
Holy Pasta! He is the same man who danced like crazy in the party where I met Kemp and Dylon first.
What is he doing here?
Kemp nodded his head and said, "C'mon,let's meet the host of the party.I will introduce you two with my friend."
Being a curious cat, I asked Kemp as soon as we started to walk "Who is that man?He was dancing like crazy in the party where we met for the first time,wasn't he?"
"Oh yeah! He is assistant of my friend."Kemp said.
"But why was he dancing ..
"Hey man!"Kemp shouted ignoring me.
Aiden..What is he doing here? Is he the host of this party?
I looked at Kemp but he was still ignoring my look.
Oh! So this was the reason that the scumbag was ignoring me when I asked him about his certain friend.
How can Kemp do this to me when he knew I don't freaking go along with the asshole?
