The Mall.
Of all the places she had been to in the world this had to be her favorite, if not one of her favorite places to be. There was always a Mall nearby where she could purchase whatever she wanted or needed. But, now that she was home, she knew she would have to settle for South Gotham Mall, her modeling career was over now.
Sure traveling was fun, you got to see everything that was famous. The Mona Lisa, The Third Pieta, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Last Supper painting, the Eiffel Tower, the Berlin Wall. She had seen all of them up close and in person, even gotten a few pictures with her model friends.
But in the end it was all the same. After a day of fun you'd wind up by yourself in a small apartment, alone until your agent called you up for your next gig. And for her that was over, she had given up on modeling and was now commited to living her life and her boyfriend of one year. She rememebred the first time they met like it was yesterday, they had met one day at the beach. When she was taking a week vacation from modeling, he had lifted her spirits that entire week.
She had been so depressed and lonely, considering whether to give up modeling or not. She was so confused back then and was surprised when he had interrupted her little frowning session that day...
"Hey there Princess, why so mad?" He laid down next to her in the sun.
She turned her head the other way, she didn't need this right now, and continued tanning her back.
"Not much of a talker are you? I like that." He kept talking.
After what seemed like forever of silence to her, she was a talker, she turned back towards him and gave him a good rundown. He had a pair of red trunks on and not much else, his body glistened against the sun and his abs were well defined. Reddish brown hair along with brown eyes. A body she could stare at for hours.
If only he hadn't caught her.
"Hi." He smiled when he saw her watching him.
She blushed and turned away again while hearing a chuckle escape from him. After another eternity (which was actually about 30 seconds) he started to talk again.
"Hey listen, I've been here a while and I was just wondering if you could do me a favor." She rolled her eyes and he waited for her to tell him to continue but she said nothing so he kept going.
"You see those guys over there?" His hand reached over her and he made sure she saw a couple of guys sitting on stools at the counter of a Beach Bar buying drinks.
"Well, they're my friends and they bet me fifty bucks that I couldn't get a kiss from you..."
Kory's mouth opened wide. What in the world was he thinking? She didn't even know him!
"But if you do it I swear I'll give you half, twenty-five for me and twenty-five for you." His voice cut through her thoughts. Trying to persuade her until she had had enough, she stood up and stared down at him indignantly.
"How dare you!" Her hand sliced through the air and was about to meet with his face until he stopped it.
He laughed a little "So she has a voice." He stood up to challenge her height, and he won.
Kory tugged her arm away from him and glared "What is your problem?" She asked harshly.
"Hey hey don't get so worked up over nothing, it was just a joke." He smiled, holding his hands out in defense.
Her eyes softened as she sighed and let her shoulders slump, she smiled tiredly at him as if to say 'no hard feelings' and pulled her towel a good ten feet away from him. She laid back down, on her back this time and put her sunglasses on trying to forget the whole ordeal.
"I guess that one belongs out of the book huh?" He said playfully.
"You do not give up so easily do you?"A smile creeped onto her face.
"As long as it takes to get you to smile like that again." He said.
"Leave me alone." She huffed and covered her face with her sunglasses.
"Aww you really don't want that, do you? For me to leave you alone?" He asked, not realizing the pain his words would bring her.
Kory sat up slowly and looked at him as she took her sunglasses off, revealing her emerald green eyes. Glazed over and tears threatening to start pouring. "No, I do not" She replied softly.
"Woah hey I'm sorry." He apologized when he saw her sad face and watery eyes. But he had to admit, they were even more beautiful when they shone like that.
"No, no I'm sorry." Kory wiped her eyes and tried to laugh it off. "It is not you, it is me." She said, not remembering that that line was a terrible cliche nowadays.
It was Roy's turn to fake a laugh now "Yeah, I've heard that one before."
"No, really." She saw him getting up "I am just not-"
"Listen, it's okay. You don't have to explain anything to me." He was dissapointed in being rejected.
Kory felt guilty in watching him go, she stood up and called to him "Hey, how about you invite me to a drink?"
"Really?" Roy couldn't believe in her sudden change in attitude.
"Yeah, I do not have much to do this whole week anyway." Kory was suddenly in a much better mood.
"Is that a fact?" Roy sounded like he was fascinated. "Are you suggesting we spend the whole week together?" He held out his elbow for her to take.
Kory laughed and slid her arm through his "We'll see."
And it happened like that, she had explained everything to him, it was so easy and they hit it off from the start. Well, not literally but she appreciated how he hadn't given up on her so easily. They spent that whole week together and when it came time for her to leave he said he would wait for her, and he did. They kept in contact over the phone and when she came back he had welcomed her with arms wide open.
She must have sounded like an idiot back then, living in Europe all those years had had an effect on her vocabulary, but now she was getting better at it and hoped that no one could tell, she had been born in the United States, just not lived in it for a long time. Roy hadn't mentioned it in a long time.
"H-Honey?" She heard a struggling voice call to her from behind.
"Roy, could you pick up the pace a little?" She said in a fake annoyed voice to her boyfriend who was carrying all11 of her bags, filled with clothes, while all she carried was her small but expensive purse.
"Sure thing but are you almost done?" They were now walking side by side.
Kory let out a soft sigh "I suppose..." Her voice trailed until she looked over into one of the many store windows and saw a long red dress she just had to try on. And the best part about it? There was a bench right by the window, she could even model it for Roy if he was interested.
"Just one more store." She pulled Roy before he could answer and sat him down on the bench. Roy sighed heavily as he leaned into the hard bench. "See?" She pointed, "I'll be in that one, don't move." And she was gone.
Roy pulled out his cell phone and started to play snake. He was so glad that he had agreed to come shopping only once a month with Kory.
Kory went into the store and asked for the dress, while she was in the dressing room she looked at the tag and found out it was eight hundred dollars. That wasn't much but now that she didn't have a job maybe she should cut back on spending? Roy had payed for the rest of her stuff but now that she was alone she was going to have to pay for it.
She tried the beautiful dress on and loved the way it hugged every curve. The front was split into a "V" that dipped low and the back was exposed until it met at a point on her lower back. It trailed about two feet behind her, yeah it was revealing but elegant nonetheless and she absolutely loved it. She loved it so much she wanted Roy to see it, she poked her head out of the dressing room and looked to see if anyone would notice her.
She saw no one and made her way towards the front window of the store, when she saw him looking down at his phone she frowned a little. How was she going to get his attention now? She waved her hands but it was no use, she was about to give up and turn around when she saw a petite blonde girl walk up to Roy.
Her eyebrows furrowed when she actually saw him get up and hug her, the girl jumped into his arms and he was very happy from the looks of it. What was going on? Was he cheating on her? No, he couldn't, he wouldn't do that to her. Then she saw them kiss and they lingered in each other's embrace. No way, no freakin way was Kory Anders going to be cheated on, especially when it was right in front of her face.
Kory walked briskly out of the store, lifting the dress so she wouldn't step on it and not paying attention to the alarm that rang because she was still wearing it. The glare she had remained on her face when she walked up and stood behind the ditz.
She grabbed the blonde by the hair and heard her cry out in surprise and pain "Am I interrupting something?" She asked innocently.
"Kory what are you doing?" Said an outraged Roy.
"Roy help!" Screamed the blonde, trying to get her hair loose. Some random people heard her and stopped what they were doing to form a circle around them.
"Kory stop!" Roy removed Kory's hand from the blonde's hair and she was free, the blue eyed girl hung to Roy's chest and Kory could do nothing but stare, wide eyed and with her mouth open.
"Roy what is this?" Kory demanded an explanation. She ignored the murmurs of the people around them and didn't hear the store manager calling for security.
"Kory this is Katrina Moth." He looked down at the girl, referring to her. "We used to go to college together." Explained Roy.
"Oh my God." Kory was so embarrassed, she covered her mouth with both hands.
A couple of security guards came up behind Kory and took hold of her by the arms "Ma'm you're gonna have to come with us." They said and Kory was too shocked to even protest, she was partly glad.
Kory shook her head to make sure this was all real "Roy I'm so sorry!" She yelled as they took her away. She had caused such a scene, she felt like a complete and total jerk.
"It's okay Kory." She saw him smile and her eyes softened.
When Kory was out of sight Roy released the small girl in his arms "So, how have you been?"
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
The car ride home was agonizing.
She ended up buying the dress, but only because she wanted to postpone the meeting she was going to have with Carmen or whatever her name was. She didn't even want it anymore, it would only remind her of how much of a fool she was. She must have looked like a crazy woman to all those people in the Mall, the thought made her blush a deeper red than she already was and her head leaned more to the right as she looked out the window at nothing interesting.
"You're not still embarrassed about what happened are you?" Roy noticed her weird behavior and how red she looked.
How could he be so relaxed about it? She just wanted to dig a hole big enough for her and stay there forever and ever. Why didn't she see that they were just being friendly? God, if only she could go back in time.
Roy laughed "You are, aren't you?"
"I'm glad you find it so funny Roy." She sunk in her seat.
"Aww come on Kory." His hand reached over and tried to tickle her.
She pushed him away "Look, there's no hard feelings on behalf of Katrina. She understands that you need to be protective of a good looking guy like me." So it was Katrina.
Kory couldn't help but snort.
"What? You don't think so?" He struck a pose and she laughed.
"See, there's my girl."
"I'm just glad we don't have to see her again." Said Kory, a little more comfortable.
"Well, not exactly." Said Roy, uncertain if this was the right time to tell her.
"What, Roy what did you tell her?" Kory's cheeks turned pink.
"I didn't tell her anything, she invited us to dinner with her this Friday. At her apartment."
"I'm not going." Was Kory's immediate answer.
"But you have to go Kory. I already told her you would."
"What! Roy how could you do this to me! Did you even think of how I would feel about this?"
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't think you'd mind."
Kory whimpered and put her head in her hands.
"I'm sorry Kory, really. But please just this once? I haven't seen her in a long time and besides the whole point of this dinner is because she wants me to meet her boyfriend and she wants to get to know you better too."
"After what just happened I'm not sure I can look her in the face. What if she tells her boyfriend?" Kory was thinking about all the bad things.
Roy could feel her softening up "Please Kory? Just this once, for me?" He pleaded.
Kory considered his words, he really wanted this and they hadn't seen each other in years. Who was she to break their friendship up? And besides this Katrina wasn't a threat to their relationship. "Promise?" She needed verbal confirmation that it would be for this time only.
"Promise, unless you want to see her again." Roy added a little at the end.
"I highly doubt that." Kory responded.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
