Chapter 5: You're what?

Martha grabbed Loni's handing rushing her to the dressing room. Rows and rows of curtains amazed Loni.

"I thought we just eating spicy ramen." Loni made a face.

"Hush now. I didn't know any other ramen places then this one. Now try this one on." Martha handed her a neon colored dress.

Loni changed into the dress and showed Martha.

"Hell to the no. Next one." She gestured to try on another one.

Countless times where Loni had to go back and change. Then they found the one.

"Yep, this is definitely the one." Martha shaking her head with approval.

Loni glanced at herself if the mirror. The lavishing lavender, flowing dress made Loni sprout a smile. Diamonds on the outskirts and little laces on the bod.

"Martha, you shouldn't have." Loni felt guilty for wearing this.

"I insist Lon. You never be having makeovers." Martha smiled.

"You're the best." Loni hugged her.

"Oh, wait! Can't forget about these bad boys."

Martha handed her a pair of contact lenses. Loni looked at them twice. It was the expensive pair she saw online.

"W-what? Now I'm going to even be seeing rich." Loni joked.

"Hand me your glasses." Martha took the glasses and put it in her limited edition Chanel bag.

Loni struggled to get used to contact, but after a few minutes, it was normal.

"Woah, I look.. different." Loni was speechless.

"Come on! Let's go get something to eat."

Outside, many others were dancing at were seated at tables eating. Loni seen the waiters and waitresses carry out multiple delicious food. Until, something ruined the whole thing. She saw Reo.

She quickly hid behind Martha, trying not to be seen.

"What the hell are you doing Loni?" Martha being confused.

"Shush! My boss is here!" Loni replied.

"Really?! Can I meet him?" Martha getting excited.

"No! I'm hiding from him for a reason."

"Ugh, fine. But let's go try these appetizers." Martha rushed to the table.

Over the long table, we rows of extravagant foods. Ranging from savory to sweets. Martha and Loni laughed over the food, and talked.

"Wait, let me grab a water." Loni backed up backwards.

As she didn't know where she walking, she bumped into Reo. Not knowing, she was about to fall backwards, until he caught her in his arms.

"Loni? I didn't expect you to be here." Reo looking at her up and down.

"Neither am I. Anyways bye!" Loni tried escaping but then was grabbed back.

"Woah there. You don't expect me to just not talk to you." Reo pulled Loni close, and whispered in her ear.

"You know, I didn't have my meal yet, and you're over here looking like this. I can just eat you up." Reo smirked.

Loni being bewildered pushed Reo away.

"I-I uh need to go to the washroom." Loni ran quickly out of Reo's sight.

Loni looked at herself in the mirror, and took a deep breath.

"Look I just came here for food, nothing else." She told herself.

Out she walked, looking down at her shoes, she bumped into a stranger.

"Loni?" The stranger said.

Loni still looking down, finally looked up.

"How do you know my name... It's you!" Loni finally coming to her senses.

"I have a name you know." He chuckled as he helped Loni up.

"T-thanks." Loni dusted her skirt.

"I'm Lance. My father actually hosted this party." He politely introduced himself.

"Party? But isn't this a spicy ramen place?" Loni had to rethink.

Lance chuckled.

"No silly. This is a party. Spicy ramen was just part of the menu." He looked at Loni.

From a distance, Reo saw the two laughing and talking. He urgently interrupted them and grabbed Loni.

"R-Reo? What are you doing?" Loni looked at Reo.

"I've been looking everywhere for you baby, where were you?" Reo acted.

Loni made a weird confused face.

"Baby? I didn't the two of you were dating." Lance questioned.

"That's right. We are dating. Come on babe, let's go home and have some fun." Reo pulled her away.

"B-but... Well bye Lance!" Loni waved with her other arm.

"Bye." Lance walked away as he tightened his fist.
