"I don't believe he can change completelyin a matterof weeks; it doesn't make sense to me." Tay wasn't convinced. She still wasn't his biggest fan.
"Pack it in, Tay!" Robin scolded. "Carry on, Ana," she prompted.
"I didn't say he's changedcompletely, but he makes me feel things... thingsI didn't even know I was capable of feeling, especially towards him." I took a deep breath before continuing, "He's making an effort now. It'sas if he wants to make me happy."
"And are you?" Robin asked while Tay watched me intently as she awaited my answer.
"To be honest, I think I am. All I could think of at first was killing him, but I no longer feel that way. I see a warmer side to him as I gradually let him see mine. Lorenzo is complicated, that's forsure, but what is the point of always fighting one other when our future is inevitable?" I smiled as Robin returned it; she was a romantic at heart, always desiring the fairytale ending, and although Lorenzo and I were far from it, it didn't mean we couldn't get there in the distant future.
“So, you no longer want to kill him?” Tay laughed.
“Not every day, no.” I accepted the glass of wine she offered me as I smiled at the floor.
“That’s a shame.”
“Tay!” Robin interjected.
"Relax, I'm only kidding." She giggled. "I only want you to be happy, and I know this arranged marriage thing hasn't been easy for you, and I didn't believe he could make you smile this way." Tay took my hand in hers as Robinplaced her arm around me.
"Are you sure you want to do this tonight?" Although the home was empty, Robin whispered as if she feared being heard.
“Positive.” I took a largesip of my wine, which instantly calmed my nerves. I wasn't sure, but I planned it and intended to stick to it.
“Then let’s get you ready!” Tay said, excitement dripping from her.
After an hour and two bottles of wine, I was finally ready, and the girls saton the bed to admire their work. "Well, I guessour work here isdone!" Tay exhaled, a pleased and proud expressionon her face.
"I thought you were coming along." I winked.
“Oh, we are.” Robin smiled. I knew she was seeking for her happily ever after, and while I doubted she'd find it tonight, I was confident she'd find a man who deserved her and could make her happy.
I walked up to the floor-length mirror on the opposite side of the room. The girls had worked their magic on me this evening. My hair tumbled over my shoulders in large bouncy curls which complemented my smokey eye and ruby red lips flawlessly. Tay's choice of outfit was an entirely different story. The skin-tight black fabric clung to me like a second skin. I had never worn something that short and revealing, mostly because my father would have marched my ass up the stairs so quickly that my feet wouldn't have touched the floor.
“Is this a little…”
“No! Don’t you dare change!” Tay ordered. “You look incredible!”
“Okay, let’s get this show on the road!” I said.
We headed out to Robin's waiting car, and I climbed into the backseat, lying down to avoid being seen. All it would take isjustone guard noticing me to put an end to this evening.
"Nice ass." Tay laughed as she shut the door behind me.
“Lorenzo seems to like it,” I joked as she entered the passenger side.
“Are you ready?” Robin asked as she looked down the long driveway.
“Yes, I just can’t wait to sit up.” I giggled; the booze was fully kicking in now.
Robin drove carefully down the driveway, which at this point, seemed never-ending. Tay waved to the guards we passed on the way.
“He was hot, remind me to introduce myself to him next time.” Tay placed her feet on the dashboard as one of the guards stopped the car at the gate.
“Fuck! Why is he stopping us? He knows you’re in here, doesn’t he?” Robin had gone into panic mode. She hated getting into trouble.
“Robin, will you calm down. He has no idea Ana is in here, but he will if you carry on.” Tay nudged her arm as she exhaled deeply.
Robin lowered down the window as Tommy approached her with a bright smile, which was unusual for him.
