Hey guys it's my twenty fifth chapter! Yeah, this is my first story to make it this far so I'm pretty happy.
Anyways back to the story...
"Wait what about breakfast?" I stay stopping in front of the elevator.
"We'll get some thing on the way, now get in." She says beckoning me.
"Promise?"
"Yes, hurry up!" I get in and we go to the mall. Spencer mainly buys clothes, while I buy shoes, I love shoes. So after buying 5 new dresses and 7 pairs of shoes for me and 10 different items of clothing for Spencer we decide to call it a day. Our bags fill the boot of Spencer's Audi A7 and I'm starving. But I hold back my hunger for mom. We go to the hospital and I talk to her for like an hour, before they say she needs some rest. The doctor talks to Spencer meanwhile and on our car back she tells me about her health.
"They say she's doing great and she's a strong woman. Her health is improving and her sugar levels are all under control, maybe, they're not completely sure so don't get your hopes up, she could go back home in a months time."
"That's great, why do you look so sad?" I ask, her eyes are on the road so she can't face me.
"He also said, because she has type 1 diabetes, it runs in the family right? So there is a chance one of us could get it so we have to be careful." She says.
"Oh, that's a bummer... But I don't have it yet so we can always hope and pray. Considering I love sweet things so I don't think I can handle not being able to eat them very much." I say. "But I will be careful, we should tell Haley too."
"Already did!" She says we come back to the penthouse and I see the guys talking about something, but they suddenly grow silent when I enter. Now is that suspicious or what? Anyhow I decide to go to my room, or at least that's what I tell Spencer...
I change my shoes to a pair of white converses so I can be lighter on my feet. Then I sneak out to the lounge. The guys are busy talking and playing cards to notice, so I sneak into Eisuke's suite. Because if there's anything they're hiding it's probably in his office and sadly I don't know where that is, so I'm just going out on a limb here. My instincts tell me it's up there. So I quietly sneak up the spiral staircase crouching so each step is difficult to take, but I have to keep a low profile. Suddenly I hear Baba shout something and I'm about to have a heart attack. I grip the railing tightly and place a hand on my chest as I relax. It's okay just stupid Baba shouting like a maniac. I eventually make it after a few more shocks like that and I open the door to a living room. Then I check every room and quickly find his office. To make it easier to hide if someone's coming I close the main door but keep the one to his bedroom open as it is. That way I always have an alternative way out if he comes.
I start checking a bunch of files from the cabinet and most are on the stupid hotel until I come across a drawer that's locked. Now that's interesting, I need a key. I search his desk, bookshelves, lights, window sills, the carpet, but nothing. I sit on his chair, put my feet up and sigh, but I accidentally knock over a statue and reveal the key. Of course! How did I not think of that? I leave the statue and open the file drawer, it has a bunch of documents, based on sales of things I didn't even think they could have, where did they get painting Flowering Dogwood from? Shouldn't that be in a museum? Theyve been running illegal auctions, in this hotel. This is big! What do I do with all this info I don't think I can it! Who do I tell? I can't keep shush about it, can I? I'll deal with that later first you have to make it out alive. I hear voices in the living room. I lock the draw and turn over the statue with the key and hide underneath his desk, luckily you can't see me from the other side, but it sure is cramped in here! I hear the sound of the door click open and they walk straight up to the file cabinet with the key. Please don't notice anything different... Please! God help me get out of here unnoticed, I'll give up candy for a year, please? He walks to my side of the desk the chair between us I hold my breath and keep praying. He leaves with a file and I hear the shower come on. I wait for a few seconds to be clear and I make a run for it...
I manage to run down the stairs with out them even flinching or looking up and go back to my suite. The minute I pull open the door Spencer is there calling for me. She turns round with a puzzled look on her face.
"Where have you been?"
"No where, just wanted some fresh air so I went to the boardwalk in front of the hotel."
"Okaaay." She says not completely buying it.
"Need anything?" I say opening a water bottle and taking a sip.
"Yeah, what were you doing upstairs?" I hear and almost choke, I ask her to repeat herself uncertain if I heard right.
"...*cough, cough*...Sorry, could you rephrase that?"
"Do you feel better? Uh...okay, are you okay?" She asks, slightly puzzled again. What is wrong with me maybe it's this guilt of knowing far too much. Ugh, I think I need a timeout, where's the naughty corner when you need one!
'"Yeah, just tired, shopping can do that to ya!" I say casually.
"How about you get some rest? We've got a party to go to in the evening!"
"Good idea, a nap sounds great!" I say trying to hide the worry in my voice. Is she talking about the IVC where they have the a massive party to cover up the auctions, no way I'm going to that! I'll have to think of an excuse for not going.
3 hours later...
It's almost 8:00 and I'm getting ready with Haley and Spencer to go to a party I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO TO! Okay... Calm yourself Cami, breathe! Hmmm...hold...hoooooh! And again breathe- Wait what the heck am I doing? Haley holds up a black short open back high neck dress. Where as Spencer holds up a pale pinky colour, long beaded racerback dress with an illusion bodice.
"How about we let Cami decide?" Suggests Spencer.
"Both are beautiful but I would probably wear this one." I say pulling out a pretty sweetheart chiffon beaded sequin high low hot pink formal gown dress of the rack. I hold it up to my figure and turn to face them.
"It's beautiful!" Says Spencer.
"You should probably wear that!" Says Haley. I get dressed and they take a while to pick out their dress before we move on to shoes...
I wear a pair of pale gold, leather strappy cage heels. Haley picks out some classic black pumps and Spencer chooses peep toe heels with diamonds encrusted on them, I mean expensive! They do there make-up, and I just curl my eyelashes, put some mascara on and a pink lipstick to match my dress. I let my hair loose because I'm lazy and not sure I what to do with it. I don't want to do anything special because I won't be staying there for long, *rubbing fingers together wickedly* mwahahaha! No, I'm not blowing up the hotel, sadly. Although I wish that was an option, but Haley and Spencer could get hurt, not to mention the innocent people and families who are on holiday, so after long consideration we ditched the idea and by we I mean me! So we decided to go for more rough and devastating approach and that is...
I get sick and leave before we go to the auction, Ta da!
Yeah it sucks, but there there's nothing else I can do.
So when they're done we finally, after what seemed like ages are ready and head to the IVC... :-(
If you want to check out Cami's outfit, type up exactly what I've written and the first thing that comes up on google images is the one! :-)
