“Listen, you were the one who chose what you did.” Sienna points her slender finger at me. “Sex is a given at this place, so why not make it easier. The less clothing the better.” Pressing a dress to my chest, she grins from ear to ear. “Go try this on.”
Curling my fingers over the hanger, I drop my head back and sculk towards the changing room. I never should’ve signed up for this. Sienna is absolutely relentless with things like this and to be honest I should have known she would behave this way.
Stepping into the changing room, I begin removing all my clothes, trying to keep my eyes away from the mirror. I hatelooking at myself naked because the memories of the past year are scattered over my body. Removing the straps of the dress, I bunch it up and pull it over my head. Smoothing it down my body, I finally face the mirror. It’s a little shorter than I would usually go for but, I actually like it.
“Get out here and show me if it’s short enough to see your pussy,” Sienna cackles from inside the changing room and I can’t help the bubble of laughter that flows from my chest.
Pressing my hand against the black material of the curtain, I slide it along quickly, sliding one leg seductively up against the other.
“Ho-ly shit!” The moment her jaw falls open I begin laughing to hide how self-conscious I feel. I’m not skinny by any means. I have curves everywhere, it’s what happens when you have Mexican parents, and your mother is shaped like a Coke bottle.
“Shut up.” I snort, rolling my eyes at her and standing in front of the floor to ceiling mirror.
Checking myself out and all the angles to make sure I look good enough and not like a sausage trying to get out of its skin. I don’t usually wear clothes like this but seeing as where we’re going is exclusive, I might as well give it a go. The hem of the dress sits a few inches below my ass, long enough so I’m not spending the entire night pulling it down but short enough to show a decent amount of skin.
For some reason, God decided to bless me with a huge ass and itty-bitty titties. However, what I lack in breasts, I sure as hell make up for in attitude. “So is that a yes?” I ask, running my hands over the black velvet material.
“That’s a fuckinghellyes.” Sienna walks over to me, brushing my thick curly hair over one shoulder. “I would usually suggest heels but, black converse would be better. Especially if you have to do some running.”
I point to her through the mirror. “Good call.” Focusing back on myself, I smile. This might be the first time in a very long time, that I’ve felt sexy. As if hearing my thoughts, my best friend places her arms around my shoulders and pulls me back against her.
“I love you bitch and I’m…” she clears her throat, trying to dislodge the lump in it.
I rub my hands where her arms are crossed in front of me and smile. “I know.” Turning my head I kiss her on the cheek. “Me too.” Tapping her arms, she lets me go and I blink away the unshed tears. “Ok, so now we need to find you something.”
“I saw a bodysuit back there let me go grab it.” Clapping with excitement, she runs from the changing room, and I turn back to the mirror. Taking one last glance at myself before heading back into the booth to put my clothes back on.
Leaning back into my computer chair, I watch the security cameras as hundreds of people pile into the huge, abandoned warehouse in a secret location that was only texted to them an hour ago. Due to all the background checks we are able to do on the people who apply, it enables us to stay away from law enforcement or outside influences that would work to shut us down.
I’ve been doing this long enough now and with my background in Special Forces, I’ve yet to be caught slipping. There was only one thing in Cairo’s background check that stood out to me. Something that also, equally surprised me too. She currently works in Cyber Security for JP Morgan.
She’s also probably the main reason why I haven’t been able to hack their fucking account for the past few weeks. Her 300-virus blocker is incredible. I’ll have to find out exactly how she produced that one. She’s a lot smarter than I think I ever gave her credit for. Top of her class in Harvard and now has a private business dealing in Cyber Security.
Not exactly her dream of becoming an actress, I huff out alaugh to myself. Running my fingertips over the image on the polaroid, she hasn’t changed much. She’s still the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on, and her smile is one that has the ability to make others do the same. Cairo is everything that’s beautiful with the world. A kind heart and soul that could rival that of even the most God-fearing Christian.
I’m impressed to say the least.
“How’s it going?” Nix speaks from behind me, and I quickly slide her picture in my pocket. Placing a hand on the back of my chair he rests the other on the desk. I’m a man of few words and right now I barely have any. I’m more interested in finding Cairo. The woman I have every intention of bending to my will. I haven’t seen her in seven years and the last time I did well it was…
“Fine.” I mumble, tapping my chin with my index finger.
Where is she?
“You don’t look fine,” he turns to face me. “You need to get laid.”
“You’re right,” I sigh.
“I am?” Nix jolts his head back, mainly because I never admit that he is. It’s not that I have to be right all the time, but more so that he makes the worst fucking decisions and doesn’t understand that all actions have consequences.
“Yeah, it’s been a while since I saw your mom.” If there’s one thing I know about Nix, he’s very sensitive about his mother.
“Va te faire foutre, my mom’s a saint.” Punching my arm. “Asshole.” Standing, I grab my mask from the desk, turning on the voice distorter inside the mouth guard. “This coming from the guy who’s watching the cameras for a woman he’s obsessed with. If you ask me, that’s weird.”
“Nobody asked you.” I make my way to the door of the office, turning the handle and yanking it open. “But, if you’re looking for a comeback, you can find it on your mom’s tits.”
“You mention my mother again, I’ll kill you.”
Sliding the mask over my head I burst out laughing and the voice box distorts the sound into a deep gravelly tone, something similar to the character Megatron.
