★ Author's POV ★
THE Uber driver stopped the car at the entrance of the apartment.
Cassiopeia alighted from the car and walked into the residence.
Getting to the door she could hear voices of her housemates talking and giggling excitedly.
Taking a deep breath, she forced a smile to conceal her foul mood before stepping into the house.
" Buonasera signore" Cassie said as she walked into the living room.
- Good evening ladies -
" Buonasera Cassie, come è andato il lavoro oggi?" They chorused smiling.
- Good evening Cassie, How was work today -
" Stressante, ho dovuto fare il turno della stupida Sally, mi fanno male i piedi.. Ugh, ho bisogno di acqua." Cassie replied before sinking into the couch.
- Stressful, I had to take on stupid Sally's shift, my feet's are aching... Ugh, I need water -
" I'll go get you some water." Havana said before dashing into the kitchen.
"Your Italian is getting quite polished I see." Madison remarked with a smile.
" Of course...I learned from the best." Cassie said and they both giggled.
"Why did you have to take on Sally's shift?." Paloma asked as she munched on her chips.
"Well.... The b*tch is on sick leave and since I came late today, "Beautiful" Maggie decided I took on her shift as punishment." Cassie said with a sigh as she indicated the beautiful with her fingers sarcastically.
" Sally's on sick leave again?. " Havana asked as she stepped into the living room with a glass of water.
" If I didn't know Sally better I'd say she's preggy." Paloma said as she munched on her chips.
"Preggy?." Havana asked and they all stared at paloma.
" Um... Pregnant Duh." She replied rolling her eyes.
" I thought she was into women... Like a lesbian." Madison said curiously.
" Yeah... I thought so too... I did hear rumors she was f*cking Maggie though." Cassiopeia said.
" Anyways... We were convincing Madi..." Havana trailed off excitedly before she was cut off.
" Oh No.. No.. No.. No.. No.. No.. I'm not interested in anything you girls have to say." Madison said and stood up from the couch to lazy off on the bean bag.
" Please Madi.." Havana pleaded with puppy eyes.
" No Havana.. I don't want to. " She replied and they kept bickering.
" Hold up a sec... What are you guys talking about?. " Cassiopeia said as she sat up-straight.
" Well we were just advising our beloved Madi to go on a blind date. " Havana chipped in.
" Heh heh blind date. " Paloma snickered as she continued munching on her chips.
" Why do i even need to go on a blind date?... I'm perfect the way I am. "Madison stated flipping her hands hopelessly.
" Well for starters, you are a celebrity.. A model for goodness sake... You need the buzz and luckily I have the right man for you. " Havana chipped excitedly.
" Heh heh Perfect man. " Paloma snickered again as she munched on her chips.
"I don't even need the buzz... Paparazzi's Perch on me like ant to sugar... And besides I'm not even that Old, There's still time...A lot of it." Madison replied as she slumped deeper into the Bean bag.
"C'mon Madi." Havana pleaded.
"No Havana... Look for someone else to bother... Besides there's Cassie, why don't you ask her to go on the blind date?." Madison said and they all fell into awkward silence.
"I think it's a good idea Madi... You seem a bit stressed lately, you need to loosen up a bit... Who knows you might fall in love with him." Cassiopeia said and drew the last part with a tease in her tone.
" Heh heh lo..."
"Shut up paloma!!!" They chorused in annoyance.
"What is wrong with her?." Cassiopeia asked as she stared at paloma who was still munching her chips.
"Jake stopped by earlier...." Madison said as she glanced at her loving friend.
"He challenged her to a "Bloody Mary Drinking Competition" which she painfully lost." Havana stated as she indicated sarcastically with her fingers earning a glare from paloma.
"She drank?... I could hardly tell." Cassiopeia said sniffing the air.
"She took a shower half an hour ago." Havana said.
"Why was Jake here?." She asked.
"He came from Madi." Havana replied with a teasing smile on her face.
"Is something going on with you two.?" Cassie asked.
"No Cassie we're just friends... And business associate." Madison answered.
" I do think he'd make a good boyfriend though... He's a hottie." Havana said dreamily.
" Yes... A dangerous hottie... Remember La nonna ha detto di stare lontano da Jake " Cassiopeia said rolling her eyes making Havana pout in disappointment.
- Grandma said to stay away from Jake -
"So that's settled then... Madison would be going on her blind date tomorrow night... No questions asked." Cassiopeia concluded.
"Ugh... Fine I'll go happy?." Madison huffed in annoyance.
"More than happy... I'll inform your partner and send you the address." Havana said with a giggle before heading up the stairs to her room.
"Look.. Madi, you know we just want what's best for you... We want to see you happy and you know that." Cassiopeia said as she leaned in for a side hug from the gloomy Madison.
"I know... I'll get ready for the blind date tomorrow. "She said as she managed a smile and got up to go to her bedroom.
"Heh heh blind date." Paloma mumbled before staggering to get through the long stairs to her bedroom. As she muttered in annoyance.
"Your dinner is in the oven." Madison said as she went up the stairs.
"No need... I'm not hungry." She said as she checked the locks then she went up to her room.
After closing her door shot, she let the smile she had been wearing fall as her gaze narrowed.
