Chapter 27
Lisa did make a point earlier –Aria thought to herself as she mixed some milk inside the iced tea. People always thought she was weird for adding milk to cold tea but she didn't care.
She mixed some with milk for herself and a plain cup for Lisa.
She had not done the groceries so she couldn't make any food. She brought the two cups to the parlor and gave Lisa one of them.
"You will never stop this weird food combo of yours?" Lisa said as she sipped her tea.
"I need it at times like this," Aria said before she started to sip her own tea.
"Right one day you will run out of excuses, " she said and Ariana gave a small smile.
Lisa had grown to be the best friend and sister she ever had. Even though they only met at work. The one whom she put all her trust in stabbed her in her back with a clean knife.
After all their years of friendship, she ended up being backstabbed by the person she put her trust In.
With Sofia, the friendship was too good to be true. How can a high-class barbie be friends with a nobody? She should have known, but she was so blinded by her love for her best friend, so much so that she didn't get any of the clues and hints.
"Will you be able to come tomorrow?" Lisa asked her, suddenly remembering they still had work for the next day
"Yeah I have to, I still want my head attached to my body," she said and Lisa laughed at her words.
"Really, I could cover up for you or you could take a leave for a week," Lisa suggested.
"Yeah, I think I'll be fine. Besides I have to prepare for the company's award day in the next two months," She said before she emptied her cup.
"Yeah, I totally forget that men I hate those kinds of stuff. Alice never wins the post she wants yet she still keeps on going," Lisa said before she rolled her eyes.
"I suffer the most!" Aria said letting out a sigh.
"Well let us hope for the best third year," Lisa encouraged.
"I'm supposed to be on a date right now but I have to cancel out," Lisa said as she brought out her phone.
"Hey, why do you want to cancel your date?" Aria asked before she snatched the phone from her hands.
"You need somebody to talk to and I can't just leave and go like that. What sort of friend would I be tagged as?" She asked before she collected her phone.
"Please don't say that. Don't ruin your chances of finding love because of me. Come on girl." She pleaded with Lisa.
"You are my friend, my best friend you have been with me through my ups and downs. I am even supposed to apologize to you because I called that bitch my best friend. If there is anything that could make me feel happy right now, if you go on that date. " she explained before she smiled wildly.
"You are so sweet. You deserve better than Ethan, " she said before she pulled her in a warm hug.
The feminine smell of Victoria's secret perfume filled her nose and he smiled.
"Coconut?" Aria asked still in an embrace
"Yeah, I got it at auction. One in a million. Don't ruin this sweet moment shush!" She whispered and Aria giggled before she pulled away.
"Now would you tell me who the lucky guy is?" Aria said before she wiggled her eyebrow.
"Awwn, how do you do that wiggly thing with your eyebrow?" Lisa whined.
"Really you can't wiggle your eyebrows?" Aria asked with a laugh.
"Yeah, and I can't whistle," She confirmed.
"I don't believe you on the whistle thing," Aria said.
"Well I'm serious I can't," She said before she attempted to blow a whistle. Instead of a sound coming out it was just air and spit.
Aria looked at her before she broke down into a fit of laughter to the verge of tears.
"Stop mocking me right now, some of us aren't blessed with the whistle thing," Lisa said before she rolled her eyes.
"Okay, fine I won't laugh anymore, " she said before she composed herself.
"What are you going to wear for your date," Aria asked before she brushed her hands through her hair.
"I think I need some clothes," she said
"Babes are you crazy? You have a date in an hour and you don't have anything to wear?" She said and Lisa shrugged.
"I was anyway planning on going like this," She said.
"Haven't you heard about first impression matters?" Aria shrieked and Lisa just eyed like a baby caught stealing candy.
"Wow! Okay, I won't say much. Let's just find you something to wear." Aria sprung to her feet, dragging Lisa with her to her room.
When they got to her room, Aria immediately rushed to her closet. She scattered through her clothes like a lunatic and she found a black gown she bought last summer.
"Nah—uh! baby girl I ain't wearing this hella of a dress ill look like Khloe—K," She said and Aria rolled her eyes.
"Don't be a spoilt sport and put on that shit. Besides it is a good thing to look like Khloe —K," she said with a wink. "Don't make do it violently!" She whispered lowly and Lisa bought her hands up in defeat
She knew how violent Aria could get and it was not amusing.
Aria fixed her hair and makeup, she even borrowed her a pair of her shoes.
"You look amazing," Aria said as she stared at what she just created.
"No, I look like an overrated doll," she said with a frown as she looked back at her reflection in the mirror.
"Shut up! and let's go," she said before she dragged her out of the room.
They both rushed out of the room and she grabbed her phone from where she sat earlier...
"Let me escort you outside, " she said as she glanced at her phone. It was already getting dark.
"Thanks," she said before they left.
They said their goodbyes and Ariana watched as the taxi drove off.
She retreated back inside and the feeling of loneliness came back she was all alone.
She barely sat down when she heard the doorbell ring. Did Lisa forget anything –she thought to herself before she went for the door.
"Hello, baby girl!" He said giving her his most devilish smile.
