There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
Giara's POV.
I hummed to music playing on the radio as I waited for Marcus to arrive. It's six fifteen, I should hurry up, before Donati gets smell of this plan.
"PRETTY LADY!!!" I snapped my head towards him to see him running holding a bag and teddy? "I am so sorry that I made you wait but I had to.." He panted as he open the passenger's door of the car and got in beside me.
"Settle down first and then talk." I said and passed him the water bottle from the stowage. "Here." He took the bottle, gulped down every drop.
"Thanks." He grinned. I nodded and eyed the bag and white teddy bear sitting on his lap.
"What is all this?" I asked gesturing towards the stuff.
"Oh this? I was late because of this." He smiled scratching the teddy's ear. "I also bought some chocolates. Here, these are for you." He handed me a transparent box with cubes of chocolates wrapped in gold wrappers.
"Thanks I guess?" I replied taking the box.
"I hope she likes chocolates. Can someone be allergic to chocolate pretty lady? I guess no. I mean it's chocolate right. Everybody likes chocolate." He babbled. I chuckled at his behaviour. "Stop laughing at me pretty lady. I am already nervous." He scolded.
"But don't you think this is too much?" I asked.
"What I like her. I am meeting her for first time after the party. And I believe in wooing the girl I like. So I'm gonna woo her properly and treat her like a queen."
"And here I thought I was the only one." I winked at him and ignited the car.
"I thought so too pretty lady. But it seems like you already have a king of your own." Marcus retorted.
"Shut up." I grunted and stepped on the gas pedal.
"Pretty lady..." I just hummed in answer. "Why this sudden plan? I mean it's great and all but why so sudden?"
"Well, this party might be last time I could get to spend with you all." I said with my eyes ahead on the road.
"What? What do you mean by last time?" He questioned turning his body towards me.
"After this party I'll be focusing on job. I don't think I might get to spend time with you like this."
"Oh! I thought you were leaving or something" He signed in relief. I gave him half hearted smile. I felt bad for lying but I had no choice. It's better this way.
"You may not." Marcus snapped at her. I stomped at his foot and nervously laughed.
"You may ask." I gritted through my teeth, staring at Marcus telling him to shut his mouth and turned towards the evil nun and smiled sheepishly. "He's a funny guy you know. He likes to joke all the time. Right?" I said as I pointed towards him. He just huffed. I forcibly chuckled and waited for nun to speak something but she just blankly stared at us.
"Umm I am Giara and this Marcus Moretti. We are Sophie's friends." I explained.
"And you want me to believe you because?" She said raising her eyebrow.
"Look here you old lady I don't know why you keep asking us these questions as if we are some criminals. We are her friends who want to meet her. I am not sure if you heard my name correctly. Marcus Moretti is my name." It looked like the bitchy side of Marcus snapped. There was pin drop silence. Nobody uttered a word. Both of them glared at each other and I stood there thinking what to do? To tell the truth I am scared to speak. I think they will skinned me alive if I dare to uttered a word.
"Giara? Marcus?" Our head snapped towards the sweet and surprised voice. There stood Sophie in white blouse and long pleated red skirt. Her hair up in a tight bun.
'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
"That's my phone." Marcus said taking out his phone. "It's Rina. Let me put her on speaker."
"Marcus where the hell are you guys?" Rina shouted from other side.
"We are just leaving for Jay's house." I answered.
"Giara? Well hurry up. I bought dresses. We need to get ready girls!!" She exclaimed.
"Okay we will be there shortly." I replied chuckling.
"And Rina next time refrain from shouting okay?!" Marcus shouted.
"Oh go eat shi-" Marcus hanged up from before she could complete her sentence. "Okay. Now ladies let's go." He grinned offering us his arms. We both locked our arms with him and made our way outside the hostel. As we walked towards my car only one thing was going through my mind.
Stage one is complete, Donati.
