I am so going to show this to Hannah,” taking out her phone and taking a picture of me.

“Uh, are you sure about this?” I look down and kind of feeling a little conscious about how some of my cleavage was showing.

“Girl that dress makes you look like you could be in Hollywood on the red carpet,” smiling so hard that it’s a miracle her face hasn’t cracked, yet.

“Oh, and one more thing,” as she looks down at my feet.

“What?” while I also looked down, trying to figure out why.

“You need some stilettos.”

Did I ever tell you how much I hate shopping with Melanie?

“Uh, no thanks. Like I said before, I value my life,” although the real reason was, I was so terrified of those towering heels.

“Nuh uh and I decide whether you do or not, so shush!” looking at some shoes near the changing room.

“Here, wear these,” holding up these black, big heeled stilettos that looked so evil, like her smile.

I had no choice but to wear them. I grab them off her and start to put it on. When I have done both of them, I stand up straight to test them out. It really made me feel tall. Thinking that I should walk, I then started to walk to test them out. I wobbled a bit but, I maintained my balance and well, it wasn’t all that bad besides seeing the blonde guy checking me out, yeeeesh.

“Oh girl, them legs be fine. Mmmmm mmmmm, we are so buying that. Let’s go buy that dress and the shoes,” and off she went to the counter, leaving me behind.

When I finally paid both the dress and shoes, we then finally got to go and have some food. We decided to get some sushi and off we went. We then decided to go home, putting all our shopping bags in the back and then finally getting our seat belts on. As I was about to start the car, I felt Melanie tap me.

“What is it Mel?”

“Um, did you hear about the new hottie in town?”

“Nope, nada. Why?”

“Silvering Corporation is in town, and he’s Mr Edward Wills’ son. So glad to have another hot guy, who happens to be rich.” 

The last name was the exact same last name as my twins father, which was odd. But come on, he’s all the way in New York and I’m in Colorado, what are the odds right?

Just as I was about to start the car, I suddenly saw a black haired man go by my car who wore a black tailored suit, who happens to look exactly like my betrayer. No, it can’t be, it can’t, it’s not possible.

 “OMG! Cara, that’s him! Oh damn, he’s so damn fine. Look at them eyes.”

He then turns to look at our car and those green eyes then found me, like a wolf finally finding its prey.  I quickly turn away, but his eyes were branded in my head, because it looked so familiar. Am I insane or am I just seeing things???

“Let’s go Cara.”

As I started up the car, I couldn’t help but look back at the spot he stood at. Maybe it wasn’t real, at least I hope so.

Chapter 3

 “Mystery man’s POV”

 

“Cara?”

No, it can’t be. But her face is unmistakably similar to hers. Damn, focus man. Focus.

“Hey!”  As I turn around to see one of my good friends, Toby, walking towards me with this blonde chick, beside him.

“Hey, Toby long time, eh?”

Colorado: the city where I am to take over my father’s businesses. Not as busy as New York but still, I’ll settle here and still make the ladies drift after me. After all, with my looks, how can it ever fail me?

“Yeah man, a very long time. Oh hey, how about we have a celebration, with coming here to take over your Pop’s business and all. There’s this new night club in town and I was thinking, since you’re still single and all that we’d go, so how about it?”

I look at him, to see him smiling. My friend Toby was a player, but so was I and the blonde on his arm was very flirty, since she’s been making eyes at me the whole time.

“Sure. Where is it though?” getting out my iphone so that I could type the address up.

“What do you mean, where is it. Let’s go now.”

“But it’s only 5:25pm.”

“Trust me on this, mate. We’ll get there at 7:30 and that’s, when the show begins.”

I smiled, knowing my friend he was up to something. And that something was usually fun, outrages and included heaps and heaps of hot girls.

 

“Cara’s POV”

 

As we got home, Melanie and I loaded all of our shopping into the living room. We then finished and then I decided to go and check on the twins, while I was walking to go upstairs, I accidentally smacked into someone’s chest, a big firm chest that is.

“Ooof.”

 I look up to see Derek nervously looking at me.

“Sorry Derek, guess I didn’t see ya,” although I felt like I could run into his chest and still wouldn’t mind. Mmmmmm that firm chest, Cara, stop!

“Oh hey Cara, there you are, oh and Derek too, good.”

 I see Melanie looking at me, but, pointing her finger to the living room indicating me to get in there, which I obediently followed, thanking my lucky stars (if I had any) that I could avoid, the awkward situation I was in with Derek.

“Derek, where are the twins?” I hear Melanie ask.

“They’re asleep. They have had a long day playing in the park and feeding ducks. Not to mention a lot of lollies being consumed.”

“Thank you Derek,” I call out, although being a chicken as I am; I don’t go to him face to face and thank him properly.

I then go to pick up the bags that had my dress and stilettos in that Melanie then finally shows up.

“Okay Cara, you are going to have a rest,” grabbing the bags off me.

“But why?” asking her, while Melanie drags me to the stairs.

“Because sister, we are going tonight! And I do not want you to fall asleep like a zombie, on this good night. Now get to bed and don’t argue with me, or else you’ll regret you were ever born, now scram!” pushing me towards the stairs.

“But-…”

“No buts, now!”

I gave in knowing she’ll never hear the end of it if I didn’t give in, but she was right though, because I was really exhausted when my head hit the pillow which was the last thing I remembered as I fell into a deep slumber.

“Wakey, wakey sleepy head. Cara, wakey wakey,” I could feel someone shaking me softly.

“Mmmmm,” I murmur back, still half asleep.

“Cara come on, we have to get ready and meet Hannah at the night club,” still shaking me.

I slowly open my eyes a little to see Melanie smiling, but still shaking me.

“Okay, okay. Stop the shaking, I’ll get up,” slowly taking off the blanket and sitting up.

“Okay Cara, now hurry.”

When I fully open my eyes I could see that Melanie was already dressed up. She was wearing a white, short dress that had long, fluted sleeves that was just above her knees, with red stilettos with her hair up in a ponytail and not to mention the plum-based burgundy lipstick, highlighting her lips.

“So, how do I look?” doing a little twirl.

I never tire of her fashion sense. My best friend is really into fashion and she never cease to surprise me, with every outfit that she wears. She could wear fish nets and still look, fashionable. At least I think so.

“Melanie, Melanie, Melanie. You’re beautiful sister, as always,” and I meant it. Melanie was always a stunner, always having men flock around her like some kind of, exotic creature. But then again, Melanie did always dress to impress.

“Oh why thank you darling, now it’s your turn,” giving me the shopping bags and leaving to go.

“Wait, where are you going?”

“I’m going downstairs, ok? I wanna see you come down and knock me silly with them good looks, now go chica! The night is young and so are we,” dramatically leaving my room, ack!

First thing I did, was go for a nice, hot bath. Afterwards, I came out and dried myself and then I put on the dress with some accessories to go with it. I then was debating with myself to whether I should put up my hair or let it down and so, I picked the latter. As I put the final touches to my make up (which I used a little), I then wore my towering stilettos. I then looked at the final result of my handiwork and let me say, I don’t look half bad at all for a mother of twins. So as I was about to leave I just remembered that, I haven’t seen the twins for a while and so, I went to see both of them. They were both asleep, like little angels, for now.

“Cara, are you done already?” I hear Melanie shouting.

“Yes, now shut up before you wake up the twins,” I hiss back.

“Okay, hurry up then. I wanna see you already.”

I then, made my way down the stairs, when I see Melanie gasp with her hands on her mouth.

“Hey, where is the cheese man?” I hear Derek asking.

As he came out, he looked at Melanie who was still gasping and holding her hands over her mouth. He then looked upstairs to see why she was like that and then his eyes, landed on me. And then when I looked at him, I could see surprise in his eyes.

“Um, why are you guys looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?”

When I finally touch the ground, I touched my face at the same time, to see if there was something wrong with it.

“No, you’re hot chica! That’s why,” clapping her hands in glee.

I then take a look at Derek.

“Derek, are you alright?” I ask, a bit concerned.

“Oh he’s alright; I think maybe he’s a bit tired, let’s go,” pulling me now, towards the door.

“Well, Derek, hope you are alright with the twins and have a good night,” and then I was out the door.

I was a bit confused with why, Derek looked so… mesmerized would be the word for it. Hmmm… maybe he is tired or something and is probably why, he’s like that. And then as my thoughts drifted away, Melanie and I drove off into the night to have some fun.

 

“Derek’s POV”

 

When I heard Cara and Melanie finally leave, I still couldn’t stop thinking about Cara. I had forgotten that Melanie and she were going out tonight, but, when she came down those stairs, I couldn’t stop looking at her. She was, beautiful. Even though I have dated a lot of women and her best friend, getting to know Cara is something I’ll never be able to compare to anyone.

I remember that time when I hugged her. Feeling her silky hair and soft body on mines, well, it took a lot of my strength to be able, to take my hands off of her. I wanted to hold her and to crush her lips onto mines, but I couldn’t. Sometimes I had wished I’d met Cara first, but that
