Chapter 5

"You look like shit Ley." Stormee said laughing, sitting down next to me on my couch.

I slowly turned my head to look at her, groaning as I did.

"Gee thanks, like I don't know that already." I rolled my eyes as she laughed at me again.

"It's okay, you get a pass because you just finished training. But you will have no excuse tonight though." I looked at her, confused.

"What's happening tonight?" I asked her as I sat up.

"We are going out! I know you've only been training for like less than 24 hours but I don't know the next we will be able to go out together, so we are going out tonight and having the best time ever!" she squealed, pulling me up off the couch.

"Stormee-"

"No no no. No if's and's or but's. We are doing this and that's final. Who cares what that tyrant Justin thinks. He will be fine and he won't even know it happened. Now come on, let's get you ready." she dragged me to my room and went through my closet, looking for something sexy for me to wear.

I sat on my bed and sighed, falling backwards with my arms stretched out.

"He worked me so hard today and I know it's only going to get worse. You should've seen him. He is ruthless." I rambled to Stormee while staring up at the ceiling.

"Stop being a big baby, I'm sure it's not that hard. He just wants you to be a really great assassin, you know?" Stormee said as she leafed through my clothes.

"I'm pretty sure that's not the reason why. He is heartless I tell you." I told her, sitting back up as she threw potential outfits on my bed. She turned around and smiled, holding up a strapless black dress with gold sequins on it.

"This is perfect Ley! Now go clean up and get dressed. You have two hours and then we need to go to my place so that I can get ready." she pushed me into the bathroom and started shutting the door.

I got everything I needed in place on my counter and was about to start stripping.

"Wait!" Stormee yelled, coming back into the bathroom. I huffed and turned to her.

"What now?" I asked her, just wanting to feel the pressure of the water hitting my body.

"Um, someone else is also coming with us tonight." she chewed her lip and tapped her thigh nervously. I just stared at her.

"Okay? What's wrong with that? Why are you acting so nervous?" She chuckled nervously and took in a breath.

"It's Victor." she rushed out. My eyes widened.

"The fucking club owner? Are you serious right now?" My jaw tensed and I bit my tongue from saying anything negative. Victor was this guy she has been talking to for about eight months now and he treats her like shit. But she still loves him. Yes love. I've told her plenty of times to drop him and that she could do so much better, but she never listens to me. Victor also owns a club and I'm pretty sure that's the club that we will be going to tonight.

"Yes, that Victor. Just be nice please?" I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Yea yea whatever. I'll try my best. Now can I freshen up without anymore interruptions please? Thank you." I said and she smiled, closing the door.

I hopped in the shower and staying in for about 40 minutes, letting the water release all the tension in my body from the hard training I did today. Once I was done, I freshened up and got ready. The dress Stormee picked out was an old dress that I wore once before. It was a snug dress that barely came mid thigh. It was extremely short, but we're going to a club so its fine. I went to my mirror and put a diamond necklace on with matching diamond studs in my ears. My hair is naturally curly, so I just fluffed it out and pinned it to the side, letting the curls drop like waterfalls on the other side of my face.

I gave myself a once over and decide that I actually looked pretty good. My makeup was just right, not too much. I grabbed my silver heels and made my way to my living room. Stormee was watching tv.

"So, do you like?" I asked, twirling in a circle for her.

"Oh shit Ley you look sexy! We need to go to my place asap so I can be as fine as you!" she jumped up and down, clapping. I grabbed my purse and keys and left my apartment.

We hopped in our cars and made our way over to her house.

"Alright I won't be long, watch tv or something." Stormee ran up the stairs and got ready. I flopped down on her couch and turned on the tv, looking for something to watch. After about 20 minutes of failure, I settled for a random disney movie that was playing.

The movie was actually interesting and I started getting into it when I suddenly heard a knock at the door. I froze. Was she expecting anyone? I got up and went to the door, pausing slightly before opening the door.

I slowly opened the door and it revealed the last person I wanted to see tonight.

Victor.

He was wearing a white button down with black jeans and casual black shoes. His black hair was was slick and nice, the front of his hair slicked up and back in a quiff. His facial hair was groomed nicely, showing off his perfectly sculpted jaw.

I have to admit, he was a sight for sore eyes, but he was still Victor. Cocky, cunning, evil. And a huge flirt. Huge.

"Well look who we have here. The one and only Mileyna. Mmm." his eyes raked my body up and down and he licked his lips, grinning at me when we made eye contact. I scoffed and went back to the living room, leaving him by the door.

"Aw come on Ley, don't be that way. You know you want me." he whispered the last part, walking my way.

"Ugh Victor seriously? Do you have no shame?" I pushed past him and went by the stairs. He just chuckled. This is why I don't like Victor. He's with my best friend but can't stay away from me. It's so annoying and disrespectful, but he doesn't care. I even tried to tell Stormee about it but of course, she didn't want to believe it so she's still with him.

"I'm ready!" Stormee said in a singsong voice, walking down the stairs elegantly. She was wearing a beautiful short red halter dress with small bead on them. She had on a black diamond studded necklace and matching black earring to got with it. To top it all, she wore black pumps and her silver hair was straightened to perfection.

"Oh my god Stormee you are beautiful!" I smiled, grabbing her hand and twirled her around.

"Thank you, thank you. Now we can both slay the world together." Footsteps sounded behind me and I groaned internally. Stormee saw Victor and her green eyes lit up.

"Victor! You made it!" she squealed, wrapping her arms around his torso.

"Of course I did. You look beautiful baby." he told her, cupping her chin. She looked like cheshire the cat she was smiling so hard.

"Thank you." she breathed, standing on her tippy toes to kiss him. I cannot watch this.

"Ugh, I'll be in the car." I shuddered, walking out the door. I can't stand seeing them two together, especially knowing what I know. There's more to him, I just know it and I'm going to find out what.
