《Allure.》Chapter 13
Advertisement
Work has been going really well. Im finding everything very interesting and Mr Stein is so helpful and such great mentor.
Ive been working nonstop even some Saturdays. Ive barley spent time with my friends and I've only really seen my family in passing.
Thats why Im really excited for our girls night tonight. Me, Ray, Della and Lacy are headed out for some drinks in the city.
Im getting ready. I pull on a cute jumpsuit. Its white and sits on my shoulders. I add a black belt and some read strappy heels that match my lips. My hair is in loose curls an his hanging down my shoulders.
"Hot" ray announces
"Thanks" I reply " You ready... I think the cab is here"
We get to the club and Della and Lacy are already there. Along with a girl Ive never seen before. We walk over and immediately Lacy introduces us. "This is Asha - I work with her."
We all exchange pleasantries then I sit down. Della grabs my elbow and says "Whats been going on?"
"Not much just busy with work.. what about you Dell"
"Me too and moving is really kicking my butt.. but its so worth it the new place is awesome"
"Oh awesome. Cant wait to come check it out"
"Im thinking a house warming in a few weeks. Still have the final little bits to sort out... you know how it is"
"Mhmmm" i nod
"So you been working out lately" Del says as she eyes my body up and down. She knows I run in the mornings but thats pretty much the extent of my workout.
"Whats that suppose to mean" I furrow my brow. Is she saying I've gained weight?
"Look I love you but your getting a little soft and pudgy around the mid section" She taunts and she starts poking my stomach

I am shocked " I am not" then I think to myself well maybe I am. All those late nights and take away dinners must finally be taking there toll.
All the girls stop their conversation and in unison say "Yeah Sav.... you are"
"Well I've been busy" I say as my hand gravitates towards my mid section. I know they are just trying to be good friends but it gets me a little upset. More than it should. Maybe Im due for my period I think. That'll explain the bloat and my moodiness.
A few hours later I look at my watch Geez its nearly 2am. Time for me to go home.
Ive only had 2 glasses of wine but I call a cab anyway... don't want to risk it. I say by to the girls and leave them to party on... they are a wild bunch!
When I get home I crash.
I don't even get changed. I just slip of my heels and crawl into bed in my jumpsuit. Im out as soon as my head hits the pillow.

His closeness was doing things to me I have never felt before.I was on the verge of losing my senses, until he spoke.."A gold digging, desperate brat."

Oddball Mabel has always been quirky. Maybe it's due to the fact that she was homeschooled or perhaps it was because of her parents who sheltered her a little too much from the world.

In fact, she tells him this on their first encounter. Clearly needing all the help she can get in this department, she turns to her neighbour, who by the sound of it, gets all the action he wants.

8 90Bint of Gilgit ~ Pakistani Love Story ~ ONGOING ~
For Nazli, the world is limited from her tribe to the Forbidden Valley. For Asadullah, the world is limitless and his for taking. ***"You should be honored that a man like I have taken such an interest in you!" Asadullah smirked, swirling his small handgun on his index finger. The green-eyed girl paled - her skin already porcelain white and quite different from any other he had seen in the country before. She was definitely beautiful even in her less than impressive rags. "Asadullah hardly makes such a generous offer." He said, liking the self-praise more than he wanted to admit. She shook her head - her dainty fingers wringing in her golden braid. Little Goldilocks. "Think again, little girl. The blood of your people will be on your hands." ***The setting is in Gilgit in a fictional valley called the Forbidden Valley. The image is not mine. The story and characters are.
