SPREES IN RAYBURN
****
Vivian's P.O.V.
"Is there really no limit to this card" I said spinning on a computer chair we bought "Or RayBurn is really cheap"
"Well, a 100k dolls for 1 year rent, you tell me" Ines said applying skincare infront of our mirror; it came with the house.
"That's reasonable, we were working our asses off for what we could never have reached"
"Well, let's use the card we worked our ass for instead, today I want to replace the heels and also start applying for work somewhere"
"Ines, you do know you aren't safe" Or did she forget, I thought
"But I have you, I'll be careful, I promise, dress let's go" she said, and the statement ticked me, I wondered if it was okay to beat sense into your client, that wasn't part of what I was taught in the society I was in, sighing and getting up from the spinning seat, I went into the shower for a bath
As usual, as the water runs down my body I ask heartily, let the water take away any bad luck that could occur today, I was in no mood to fight, I was never in the mood too, and how many problems I covered in my life with non-chalance? alot, but having Ines in my life was the most testing time of my life, were I had to use my own initiative, when before now, people detected my whole life for me "Kill" they'd say, and I didn't even have to think more, "Dodge the obstacles" and I did "Go left", "Go right" and the last command where I had my freedom was "Be her shadow guard" I did without hesitance, who knew i'd have to think for two here, who knew that i'd find someone who'd genuinely care.
Coming out of the bath tub, Ines was already dressed in a lemon crop top with jean shorts, I could count the amount of times she wore a longer top with my fingers since I met her, I wasn't good at taking initiatives because of my special trainings and following orders, but Ines made me understand by her actions that I had it in me to outrightly refuse crap, on the little carpet outside the bathroom doors, I met with Ines's playful eyes and wondered if she'd jump me whilst I was naked, as much as that sounded impossible, there's something in me that told me she could
"See the balaclavas I bought, I knew you'd not like the colorful ones, but you can wear this black one I got you" she said raising a masks up
"No." see what I told you?
"Oh okay, why not skip black today, let's twin with these lemon crop tops, they won't tell us apart I swear"
"Fuck no" we aren't even the same height, or complexion.
"I'll just wear black with you" she said starting to take off her crop top "But I didn't get any black clothes for myself, I'll have to wear something you have double of"
I would say yes to this, but each cloth I owned had a weapon in it, Ines had always been impulsive with weapons so for the umpteenth time I said "No" this time I dragged her top down arranging her shirt back "I mean you're so cute in this top" I added, which wasn't a lie, and she pouted, she was so cute.
"We could just get black clothes for you today"
"That's cool" she said, and I went to do my skin care, she helped me tie my hair in a high ponytail which I wore a customized cap that assisted the ponytail, I wore a black light shaping maxi gown, it had strings at the side where you could pull on them and the dress would turn to a ruched dress, coupling them with black high heel boots where it was knee length, in the end Ines changed her clothe to the same dress I was wearing but in navy blue, she wore a white cap without tying her hair up, with my black fits I tried to be lowkey, but you really can't hide perfection.
Getting into Brian's cadillac he left with us, we went to Will's eatery for breakfast and then stiletto nation to shop for heels, doing that till the afternoon, I always ensured my heels were stable, mostly sandals, and if they were pointed toes; they'd have to fit like gloves, we got from four too seven inches heels, because ofcourse we were pole dancers, after then, we got fits for any pole place Ines could find to work in, and that's when I got a call
"Hey Damien"
"My queen, I guess I'm missing you so much that I'm seeing your twin in RayBurn"
"I am in RayBurn, are you here too?"
"Turn around" he said and I did, seeing this man shook my quiet soul, it made the still waters in my heart wave
He was wearing a tropical patterned shirt, it was bright pink with carton coloured pants and black palms, he looked like he was on a holiday
"Oh my" I said standing still as he walked up to me and enveloped me in a hug, I stayed there for a while before he let go
"Hey beauty"
"I think that's feminine"
"Yeah, but have you seen yourself in the mirror, you've got something beyond being handsome"
"That's cheesy" he said smiling, In my 2 inch heels, I was exactly his height, I'd guess he was a 6'2 or something "Why are you here anyway?, I left you in Angelus"
"Yeah, it's a long ass story"
"Damien?" Ines called out walking out of the dressing room, she had drawn the strings on the dress, now her thighs were exposed showing the extends of her legs in the new seven inch platforms she tested, walking up to us she said
"Don't tell me I third wheeled all the way to RayBurn"
"It seems so" Damien said
"Well, why are you in a females mall, shopping for your daughter?"
"When I've not married my dream girl yet?" Damien said toucing my cheeks and I smile, I love them smitten. "Candice, come over please"
When he said that a beautiful girl came, she had on an official green dress, she looked Asian, slim and tall, probably a 5'7, her hair black and waist length
"Oh we meet again" Ines said scrutinizing this Candice girl from above, she looked like a giant in her high ass heels
"Yeah we do" Candice said, very soft spoken if I may add
"So, if Candice is here and you're here, does that mean Christian is here too?" Ines asked well holding the wall and lifting her left leg up, I figured she'd be tired of standing in her heels so she started unbuckling them while I helped her by bending and unbuckling the other "Thank you Viv, you're such a life saver" she thanked dropping down her heels making her look 10 times shorter
"No problem" I answered standing back up
"You're right, this is our town, after shopping here, mind if we catch up?" Damien said focusing back on me
"Yeah, I'd love that"
"I am not interested in tailing both of you around, so I'll head back to my aunt's place" she said which made me glad, now I could go anywhere knowing she's safe
"Let's get to the counter shall we" He suggest and I say okay, he places his hand at the small of my back leading me away, about to walk away Ines stops us
"Hold your horses, whose gon carry all these bags"
"Oh I forgot" I said picking them up with Ines, Damien gets my bags from me and takes off a little burden from Ines, when we get to the counter, I pay with my joint card of Ines and I and then we get in the cadillac, but Damien and Candice come in the Aston Martins and we all drop Ines in her aunt's house before I leave with them again.
"So Candice, this is my girlfriend Vivian" he introduces as he opens the front seat for me and I get in
"Pleasure to meet you" She said entering the back while Damien turns to the other side and enters the driver seat
"Pleasure to meet you too" I said
"So, she is Christian's secretary, and we are going back to the company"
"Okay"
"Are you going back to Angelus?"
"Nah, I think we are staying here permanently"
"Sure you didn't change your mind because I'm here?"
"Ofcourse it was cause of you, fate is pulling us together"
"So what's your plan while you're here"
"Well, I am working"
"As a spy?"
"Something close to that" I said and he chuckled "You've finally joined the LAPD"
"Are you secretly working for them and you want to recuit me?, I don't mind, I'll follow you anyway you go"
"We have a nack for lying"
"We just bond" I sang
"So, where are you working"
"Well, technically I'm not, Ines and I are enrolling in Dallas university, to continue our studies"
"What are you studying"
"Medicine and surgery" I said
"You're so cool"
"I get that alot"

"So welcome to Scent of the sun" Damien said, Candice had left us in our chatter walking inside, the environment was large and beautiful, we were standing infront of a skyscraper facing a stunning logo
"What a divine name" I said
"Right" he said leading me in, he walked me around showing me places, a mall where we checked out different scent of perfumes, a lab where they made the perfumes, an ad center, etc. before we reached his office, his office was at a lone wing, once he opened the door, he held my hand and we walked in then he shut the door locking it behind him.
Once I entered his office, I took off my cap and the band in my hair letting it fall, he was looking at me all while one hand holding mine and the other in his pocket
"Your office is really pretty" I said
"Thank you my lovely lady" he said walking closer to me until we were a hand width apart, he left my hand putting his hand through my hair and massaging my scalp, the sensation of looseness I felt made me want to roll my eyes backward, but instead I closed my eyes "Your dress is cute"
"Thank you" I said "So what do you work as"
"Where do I even start, first I'm ofcourse your humble simp" he said drawing his finger down my face and I open my eyes smiling "I'm the CEO's best friend"
"It's weird to hear men say endearing things about other men"
"Rest assured, I'm not gay, I am also the manager here and…"
"And?" I repeated but at this point I lost focus cause one hand of his was at the back of my head massaging it and I had to fight the urge to moan in pleasure, just then he pecked my lips and looked in my eyes, and seeing I was not resisting, he did it again one hand still in my hair
"Why…" are you just pecking I wanted to say, but that's when he closed my mouth with his and the real kiss started making my 'why' die down like a moan, as his right hand played with my hair his left hand trailed from my neck to back, then the small of my back, he left my hair and my hands went round his neck, his hands went everywhere, as he did I could feel the heat of anxiety bubble in me, but I said nothing cause as much as I enjoyed this attention, I could feel his carefulness as his hands rummaged around.
He held my dress from the bottom at the side and ruched it at my hips, the air conditioner kissing my bare thighs made me feel vulnerable, how far would we go? my head started screaming stop but then he cupped my ass and lifted me to his waist, I chuckled, we were face to face, he walked to his office chair and sat down, the way I straddled him reminded me of the night I first did this. He joined his lips to mine again, passing his right hand through my dress from under went to cup my breast; I thought he was going too far, I stopped kissing looking at him like 'I don't wanna go there' but his hands didn't come out, instead he assured
"It's okay, just melt in it" he said using his left hand to bring my head back to his lips, words of assurance were all it took for me to succumb, and I moaned when he squeezed, so that when his left hand left my head and touched my thighs for about ten seconds, I knew I had fucked up when he realized my secret… I had a dick, just kidding.
His hand placed on my thigh were my little pistol was hugging made my brain jolt, with the realization of my weapon I detached my lips from his immediately with that kiss smack sound, and in anxiety I squeezed the back of his shirt looking at him with fear? in my eyes, for a guard I was frozen.
Knowing this whole session had come to an end, he slipped out his arm from my dress and said
"Don't panic baby, It's okay" he said placing his both hands on my waist
"Darn Damien" I said putting my hand through my hair, very nervous not scared, I attempted to get up but he held my waist still, lifting me himself he sat me on the table and took his seat taking a deep breath and sighing
"So you're gonna kill the witness?" he said
"Must I?" I retorted, I'm a guard not a spy or a thief, killing a witness really? that's not the job description, he chuckled
"As I was saying earlier, and I am working with the Revolve secret society, and I knew when you were there"
"What the?" The R.S.S. was where I was trained from when I was young, it was a dark place to be in, but someone who knew me by my face was nearly impossible, this was supposed to be top secret and most of us didn't even know eachother, being known made me feel vulnerbale, a feeling that had come to stay since I met Damien today.
"How I know you right?, I was among the higher ups, when I saw you at Lazy body I was quite shocked, it's rare for most of you R.S.S. alumni's to be in places without being on a mission, so when I saw you with Ines I figured you were probably a bodyguard, and to confirm my speculations, I had to search for a weapon on you"
"So you used a honey trap? that's rude" I said cleaning the corner of my now bare lips, my lipgloss I used today probably finding it's way to Damiens stomach, so my love life just ended before it begun I sighed, I wondered how I just let my guard down so bad, but then I had another reason to keep my guard up even higher
"Yeah, when I reached your boobs that's when you lost it" he said smirking and I frowned "before now I did do a background search on you, it's good to do this you know that, did you run a search on me"
"I don't think that's right in relationships" I said, self-defense at the cost of my reputation
"I love them smitten" Damien said which made me squint at him, well played
"Well played" I said getting on my feet
"Oh sit" he said getting up and towering over me; I had left my heels at home and worn flats, I didn't want to sit, i'd be on the verge of tears now if my special training didn't suck all that out of me, he pushed me gently and I sat
"I love it even more that you're an agent, best believe you're safe with me, and your secret too, I still want you, I'm still serving my queen"
"After you've called me stupid in so many ways"
"No baby, you're just in experienced, to have even reached this point of your life, I highly commend you, you're the best"
"Thank you" I said folding my hands still pissed and embarrased
"Hey, don't be annoyed" he unfolded my arms and kissed my knuckles "You're so cute when you pout" I didn't know I was pouting
"I'm not pouting" I said, he lifted my chin up "Don't kiss me" I said and he smirked he was not listening to me like the first day anymore, he had me all wrapped up his fingers, he pecked me, over and over again
"I should stop?" he said
"Yeah" he did it again "Sure?"
"Leave me alone, why are you so gummy"
"You're a Damien magnet"
"Don't you have work to do"
"I'm at my post my queen, would you consider sparring your highness"
"I don't like losing or fighting"
"A friendly match"
"How about dancing?"
"I can't dance, only Christian taught me basic salsa"
"Christian?"
"Yeah"
"This would be interesting" I said pushing his hands away and pushing him to seat "Take me home, I want to go back to my bestfriend" I had to rundown my day to Ines
"Not yet" he said and I got up once more, just then his door opens and since I was backing the door, I turned my head immediately just to see Christian walk in
"Vivian? if I remember correctly?" he said
"Hello Mr. Crest" I replied wondering why a head secret society member didn't do the basics of locking the door, thankfully I was standing and my back was facing him.
"I heard from Candice you and Ines were in RayBurn, nice to meet you"
"My pleasure" I answered shortly and he turned his attention to Damien
"Sorry to intrude, but we have to go to the Turners firm"
"Okay" he said getting up "On our way there I'll drop off Vivian, in the meantime could you excuse us for a sec" and with that Christian quietly walked outside closing the door behind him
"Thank goodness your hands weren't in my boobs" I said
"I'm sorry, I locked the door, they actually lock automatically but he has a keycard, and he doesn't knock"
"Mannerless much" I judged, he got up and pecked me on the lips two more times
"I should arrange myself" I said dragging my dress down and going to where I formerly dropped my cap covering my messy hair and wearing my hair band as a bracelet "How do I look"
"Surely not like a bird nest, you look stunning, and me"
"You're okay" I summarised and we walked out meeting Christian, we all walked out of the building
"We haven't been chatting often, I sent a hi to you on text and it's been hanging there since"
"I'm sorry, I've just been very busy with the relocation and re-admission, now Ines is looking for a strip club to work in and" I started whispering so Christian wouldn't here "I'm going crazy thinking of how she'll be safe"
"I know a hand full when I see one" He said eyeing Christian and Christian suddenly turned to ask
"So, you and Ines are permenately residing here in RayBurn?"
"Yes"
With that we entered the car, the ride back to Ines' aunts place was quiet with Christian and Damien humming along to the radio and me rather dying in silence than saying I forgot my handbag in his office and that they should change the song, it was only trap muic all through and I didn't understand crap.
"Okay, talk to you later" Damien said
"Yeah, and unfortunately I forgot my purse back in your office, do keep it safe for me thank you" I said as he whines up starting the engine to go, just then Ines comes out throwing herself on me as I catch her
"You're back I missed you" she said, by then the car was already out the lot "Bye Damien" she shouts and he answers bye with the same energy, "let's pack and get back to our apartment" I said walking with her on me
"Ines get off Vivian, you're not a child" Priscilla said
"Poor Viv" Brian said "Come down lemme continue whooping your ass in checkers"
"Na I'll pass, I've had enough failure in a year"
"Things that succeeded for you this year should've been avoided" I said to her
"Like what"
"Seducing Shawn"
"Drop me down this instant" Ines said getting my joke as all of them laugh in the palour, at this point everyone knew of this story
"I'm not even holding you" I said pushing the plushy human off me.
****
"Are you ladies married?" A lady asked as we walked into the apartment with bags, we had just left Priscilla's and now we were walking into our apartment building
"Married to husbands you mean" Ines asked confused
"Ofcourse you aren't married Ines to anybody"
"No ma'am we aren't married, you've got your sons for us" she asked playfully and the lady chuckled
"That's not what I mean, I meant if you guys were married lesbians and your packing into your apartment today"
"Oh hell no" I immediately denied laughing and Ines smiled
"Nope" Ines said "I'm as straight as her flat ass" she gossiped in my ear and we laughed, the gesture might have looked intimate, I mean Ines has the clingiest attitude and we were matching fits so I understood, but then is this unusual for bestfriends too? so the woman smiled and said
"Okay, I'm your neighbor Karen nice to meet you" she said stretching her hand
"I'm Vivian and this is Ines nice to meet you too" I said taking her hand, to me she looked like her name, brown hair, brown eyes, messy bun hair, a pair of loose pants, inner singlet and a long black kimono, not forgetting the casual dressing sandals "Excuse us ma'am we will get going" I said and we left to our rooms, leaving Ines behind too arrange, I went upstairs to the security room, as we paid for rent, I paid extra to bribe the security to allow me go through the CCTV cameras and the guestlist, reaching I got the information of Karen, making sure she was just a resident who had been living here for quite long, everything was perfect, I also spent about an hour looking through the cameras to ensure the movements weren't suspicious, this was the least I could do for a goodnight rest.
Coming back to the room Ines was already dressed in a loose night wear looking through her phone
"What took you so long" Ines said
"Just checking with the securities"
"Was there any problem?"
"Nah, there wasn't"
"So.. tommorrow we go check out the college, in the meantime I sent virtual resumes to the clubs in RayBurn, I particularly choose the high class and hidden ones, so you won't have to bother about safety, with our skills we should be called for an interview one of these days"
"Okay" I said walking into the bathroom, I hoped no club picked us, I was already wondering how alert i'd have to be in college while having to study, but then being alert in clubs too? nah.
As I entered the bathtub I heard her say "Hello dad how are you?" before the sound of the falling water drowned out her voice, in the evening I say to the universe, nice job giving me a pretty nice day, I hope tomorrow will be good too, you're doing well, as a lover of assurance, I always made sure to compliment the universe and assure it too as if it didn't just do whatever it liked.
Coming out I asked "How's your dad?"
"He's fine, a little bit stressed, but he's okay, suddenly it feels like everything became quiet over there" she responded
"That just means everyones gone back to the drawing board", I said going to sit on the mirror desk for skincare, it was one of my favourite things to do, something I was taught to do to look like I'm among the population, atleast an effort they put in making us not look like our problems.
"Viv, you don't use sunscreen in the night" Ines sighed
"I just love the glow" I retort but she sighs dropping her phone, she wasn't the kind of person to sleep early, she got out of bed and started stretching on the floor, before doing few pas de chats while humming, then twirling like a ballerina, after my routine I go check all the doors and once I was assured it was locked I fell on my bed reminiscing of what Damien did
"You know what that bitch did to me today" I said my palms on the pillow and my face on my palms, I was laying on my side looking at her hop around
"Which bitch" she asked hopping on the spots in the carpet
"Damien ofcourse" I said and she stopped moving, smiling at me hands on her waist "Y'all have entered the bitch stage I see"
"Well so, we made out"
"And?" she said getting on the bed entering the duvet; just like that I tell her about my day and she's hiding her face in shame under the blanket on my behalf, from there we sleep.
