Chapter 3: The man in my dreams
Alara remained rooted to the spot she had been standing, not able to decipher if it was her mind playing tricks on her or if it was actually him.
After remaining in a state of daze the whole day, she decided to just drop the idea that it might have been him. "What if I am actually going crazy?", she thought to herself.
*1 week later*
BUZZ BUZZ... BUZZ BUZZ, It was call from an unknown number. "Hello?" "Is this miss Alara Yun?" "Yes, please who is this?", "I want to inform you that you got the job, and we'll be expecting to see you by Monday, you will be given the details of your job when you get here, Thank you" tut tut tut, the call ended. Alara was so overwhelmed with joy, she called Fiona immediately to give her the good news. RING RING RING "Fiona guess what?", "You know am not good at guessing, just spill it already" "I got the job!! Am so happy", she jumped excitedly "REALLY?!!! This calls for a celebration, get ready, when I get back tonight, we are going to celebrate your new job!", " So typical of you, always looking for opportunities to party, no crazy stuff okay?", "Yeah yeah, whatever! Gotta go now, bye!" she hung up the call, racking her brain on what to wear tonight.
Fiona came from a well-off family, she and Alara had been friends since their high school days. Other students saw Fiona as haughty and prideful, Alara was the only person who saw her for the kindhearted person she was.
They would go to each other's houses ever since they were teenagers, Fiona never made fun of Alara's financial status and Alara never took advantage of her wealth.
After Alara's parents passed away in a car accident, Fiona's parents offered to take her in when her aunt started maltreating her and calling her bad luck.
She was reluctant at first, but she later accepted their offer when the torture became unbearable.
She joggled from one part time job to another so she could send herself to college, not wanting to be a burden to her friend or her parents.
After finishing college, they both decided to move out, although Fiona's parents were against it as they've come to love Alara as their own and would miss both of them immensely and they didn't want the girls to get into trouble. Mr and Mrs Park, Fiona's parents finally let them go after a lot of persuading and convincing
As a person who saw partying as total waste of time and resources, Alara never indulged in them, whenever she got invites she'd turned them down, her best friend on the other hand was a party animal, she wanted to be at least the responsible one who'd keep her best friend in check and see to her promise to Mr and Mrs Park.
It was already night time, Fiona had just arrived from work excited about tonight, so they both took a quick shower and got ready, Alara was dressed in a basic top and jeans, so she went over to her friend's room to check if she was ready. Fiona was dressed in a short bandana mesh bodycon dress "Fiona are you done getting ready?", "Yeah, hang on just a minute!" Fiona replied while checking herself out in the mirror, she turned facing her friend, asking "so how do I... What are you wearing?" She said slowly scrutinizing her friend from head to toe. "Uhh... An outfit?" Alara replied scratching her head, "c'mon baby you can't possibly wear ThAT"she said pointing to her outfit, "you know what, let me get you something sexy to wear", " you know I don't like borrowing your clothes" "common, it's just for tonight ok?", Fiona nudged her continuously until she accepted
After changing into a short pink velvet gown, which stuck to her body like glue, as she was bigger in size compared to Fiona, she had wider hips and she was more busty. Fiona applied a little make up on her wich accentuated her sharp innocent hazel eyes and a little lipgloss on her plump pink lips, with a skin as pale as snow and as smooth as silk, her beauty was charming and alluring, enough to invoke a man's inner beast
