Sophia POV
I'm shameless and I know it, that's why am practically skipping the whole way down to Rosie's all because of a certain British man, pathetic I know.
When I reach the shop, its already opened, Andrea should be here already, I open up the door and see Lara cleaning up some wet mugs at the counter
Am late I conclude
I don't mind she winks at me, I saw you over a man's shoulder yesterday so tell me who he was and I'll let you off the hook
I roll my eyes nothing happened and we just talked, I move to the kitchen and of course she's trailing behind me
Oh come on, then why were you over his shoulder
How did you even see us?
Hey Andrea
He nods at me, focused on the red velvet cake he's currently icing
I saw you both from the gates, at first I did not realise it was you cause obviously it was dark and I could not see your faces clearly but when I heard you laugh followed by a male voice I knew that it was finally time for you to end your celibacy
I laugh, Jesus Lara, we just talked, I break some egg white into a bowl, listening to her ramble, and I think I friend zoned him I frown
What why!!!
I didn't do it intentionally, trust me all I want to do is get naked and get in bed with him I sigh
Okay okay I've had enough Andrea turns to us, I can't take this talk anymore he smiles at us
We both burst out laughing, what Andrea you can't take girls talking about having sex
He snorts, I have younger sisters in college I think I've heard enough sex talk to last me a life time
Lara chuckles, am so glad today is a Thursday.
I smile me too, I just want to go home and sleep, I smile, on Thursdays and Mondays we don't open again at evenings, so we all close by 3pm today while on Sundays we don't open at all, its a pretty good schedule if you ask me
That's all you two do, why don't we go out tonight come on, the three of us Lara complains
And end up the third wheel yea right, Andrea says
Oh come on, we could invite river, I smile sneakily at Lara and her eyes go wide
The uptight guy, even worse I'll rather be third Wheeling Andrea mumbles
Hey why don't you invite your mystery guy Lara says
I shook my head, he has a thing against crowded people I lie, cause what can I tell them, I met a random guy on the street and he only comes out at midnight and I really want to jump his bones, no way
Lara pouts but-"
No buts if you want to get me out of my apartment I'll invite river I smile and pop a baking pan into the oven
When we finally open up the shop, of course river is the first to enter like he stands at the door all day waiting for that open sign, I grab his normal serving and head to him of course Lara tries to stop me, but I go anyway
I know I know, doesn't Andrea like Lara too but Lara like river and we have no idea about river so that's why am inviting him, if it turns out river likes Lara too then, we'll figure it out for Andrea at the club we're going to tonight.
I place the mug in front of him along with the plate of sliced vanilla sponge cake.
Good morning river
He looks at me with surprise cause trust me I never ever greet the guy
Sophia?
In the flesh and blood I chuckle, so I was thinking, Lara, Andrea and I are heading to a club later tonight since I've never been to one since I came to London, and Lara was thinking that we should invite you too. So would you like to go?
He sends me a kind of annoyed look before grabbing his mug before he shrugs his shoulders I'll go
What time?
Great I smile cheekily at him, 9pm is good we're meeting at Lara and I apartment block
He nods
And river drop the attitude I say and dress to impress I wink at him before leaving and heading to a nervous Lara
So what did he say?
He's coming chicka 9pm sharp so you better dress so hot that by tonight he will be crawling on the floor with every step you take
Her cheeks go pink, we need to go shopping after we close up, I don't have any hot dresses she pouts looking worried
I have some I laugh from my wild days, but I don't think we'll fit, since were way different sizes I look down at her petite form since she's short like my shoulder short.
She smiles, exactly why you're going shopping with me, you know all about this wild and party form, all I know is how to dress for tea with the Queen
I chuckle, idiot 3 different people enter Rosie's and just like that we get back to work.
||~||~||~||
When we finally finish our work, we clean up the place before locking up
See you by 9pm Lara shouts over to Andrea in the busy street, some people still peering at the shop to check if were really closed but are too late
He smiles at her before climbing over his bike, I'm never late
We both laugh before, trying to look for a taxi I know its expensive but there's no way am entering that death ride they call a train
We finally reach the mall, which is a long ride, with the gap in my wallet, but I tell myself, I have enough saved.
We both walk into the mall, that I've been just once to, Lara drags me to the first store which she sights short dresses at but it screams expensive so I steer her away
Nope not there
But she pouts,
you're a 22 year old woman and you're gonna act like it, I smirk
She laughs and I walk her to a less expensive looking shop, when we enter, there's a bored cashier that looks like he doesn't want to be anywhere near here
We walk around, looking for the section with dresses when we finally find it I pluck out the three first dresses I find, and I push her to the changing rooms, try these on
I don't hear her reply cause I shut the door in her face, before grabbing a couple more dresses for myself.
She wears the first dress and walks out, it's a red long sleeved tight dress reaching her knee with fake diamonds decorated around the v neck, it's a beautiful dress I tell her
She looks at the mirror, i look like the dress is sucking away my blood, she snorts before entering the room again her barefoot slapping against the tile
I chuckle, she was right, she comes out next in a blue sparkling dress, its also a long sleeve with a deep v neck the dress is short like stops under her bum short
I whistle now that's what were talking about I laugh from my sit, you look hot
She laughs before looking in the mirror, it looks like am wearing a shirt
That's the point girl i say holding sky high heels you'll be looking like the queen of the club, we'll be in before you know it
Okay not gonna happen she laughs entering the room again
Oh come on!!!
I hear her laugh, minutes after she comes out in a rugby coloured dress, it stops just at the center of her thighs, with a round neck, it hugs her small curves in all the right places.
Okay now this is it, I tell her, every man out there will probably bow to this including river
You think? she smiles in the mirror
I nod, you're still wearing those heels you know
Do I have a choice?
Nope I chuckle, I look down at the dresses in my hand grabbing a emerald sparkling short dress, am getting this.
You're not trying it on?
Nope, if there's one thing I hate is trying on clothes, its already in my size and I like it so no need, now go change, we gave a lot of work to do I smile with mischief in my eyes
She shudders, I've never seen this look in your eyes before and honestly it scares the sit out of me
I laugh, oh Lara you've seen nothing yet.
We finally pay for the dresses after some resistance in my part cause you know I hate giving away precious money, I drag her to Victoria secret and Lara's face is already coloured pink.
Lara welcome to every girls fantasy, I spread my arm around like am showing her a magical kingdom but really it is a magical place
I can't believe you've never been here
I tell Lara as she follows me while I try to find something for her, since like I said she's a bit smaller than me in everything.
I finally find a white lace panties and bra.
Her eyes go wide what should I do with this?
What do you do with your vagina is my response
She chuckles still blushing, gosh the last time I had sex was like 2 years ago
My eyes go wide, that really has to change and you call me celibate, mine was 8 months ago and trust me, I badly will jump any British guy bone right now
Including mysterious Alex
I bit my lips admitting it yes including Alex.
I pick up a black set like the whie and we pay this time she's the reluctant one.
When were finally done, we go to a make up store where I get something's Lara will never use.
And unluckily, we use the train back to the store before we walk home, she leaves her things in my house since we plan on getting ready together before I go to bed. Needing the rest
||~||~||~
Am woken up by someone banging on my door, I walk groggily to the door, to find Lara there all clean, wearing baggy yoga pants and a large shirt, its dark already
What's the time?
8pm she mumbles
Shit, that's not enough time, I rush to my bathroom and decide to thoroughly clean and shave every inch of my skin, by the time am done it probably took 45mins
I start applying this new oil I bought at the mall, that leaves my skin shinning like I applied glitter
I put on my robe before walking into my room to see Lara squirming on the bed
What?
We'll be late she shrugs
Its worth it trust me, did you do what I asked I eye her body, which is glittering too much to my satisfaction she nods
And the underwear?
Check she finally smiles at me
I chuckle, the way you're acting I wonder how you lost your virginity
I think in a party I was drunk out of my mind
When?
She bits her lips 2 years ago
I chuckle, I lost mine in high school I remove my robe wearing my underwear, I'm used to changing in front of people so I don't mind, it was in a high school party, lost it to our schools bad boy, worst mistake of my life
She moves to the bags where our dresses lay, interesting
So how many?
She blushes again just 2
Wow, good for you I smile
You?
4 all boyfriends no one night stand thing except a certain bad boy that took away my innocence
where you ever innocent she snorts
Hey I laugh putting my bra in place before moving to my makeup bag and the new makeup I bought, I was innocent I tell you
She chuckles and sit down
Am not gonna do much since were gonna sweat anyway, so just concealer, powder, sparkling red eye shadow, simple winged eye liner mascara and red lip stick is that okay for you?
She nods,
That was easier than I thought I laugh
She smiles before I get started, when am done, I curl her hair before she moves to the bathroom to change,
I start on my own makeup with daring silver sparkling eye shadow cat eyeliner mascara, concealer powder and bronzer, I straighten the top of my hair leaving the down part in its curls.
Lara finally has the guts to walk out of the bathroom, she's looking like a super model, I hand Lara her heels making her look taller.
Wow I mumble, you look awesome
She smiles, you think?
I know chicka I know, I look at the clock and see were 30mins late and our phones are blowing up
Oh good, I mumble reaching for my dress, its a sparkling emerald green dress with a v neck and it ends in the middle of my thighs, its tight and hugs my figure, I wear my black heels before sticking some cash in my bra, leaving my phone at home, we both grab our coats since obviously its cold at night and this dresses are short, I lock the door behind me before we walk down the stairs leading to the gates.
