Gisselle-
I woke up to the loud rustling coming from across the room. I sat up just enough to see poor Arden trying to sneak away from us before his precious Audrina found out.
"What? Are you embarrassed?" I said to him, teasing him. Even in the shadows I could tell he was blushing.
"Uh, Gisselle, well last night was fun. A lot of fun, but this can't get out. I'm still trying to make this work with Audrina and if she found out then-" He stumbled over his words, waking up Vera who sighed heavily.
"Then what Arden? She'll break up with you? Cut you off and tell you to get lost? Oh wait, that's already happened." Vera smirked. Arden ignored her. I tossed a pillow at her and she turned to face me.
"What? She doesn't want him anymore. Why should I keep indulging in his illusions? Plus, if you really love her, then why do you keep on ending up in other women's rooms with your pants down?"
Arden leaned over me to grab his shirt, brushing against my naked breast with his bare chest. Oh how much fun we had had last night. We would have to do that again soon.
He looked at me with pleading eyes and I just shook my head with a laugh. My head was starting to hurt.
"Don't freak out. We won't tell, just let me sleep, my head hurts!" I complained and dropped my head to the pillow, closing my eyes and ending the conversation. I think I heard him mutter a thanks before he hurried out.
God, he was so damn whiny and needy. The entire time he was in bed with us he was telling us about how she didn't love him anymore and that it had been so long since he had slept with anyone. Ugh, maybe I shouldn't sleep with him again. He was just too sensitive.
Vera was already asleep. They had been together before, so I assumed she had heard his speech more than once.
When I finally got out of bed it was past noon. Vera was starting to rise too. Clara Sue came around soon after with a big smile on her chubby face.
"So how was your night?" She asked, knowing who we had taken in here after the party. I had already kicked Vera out so I was able to move around without taking care not to break her. I shrugged, not looking up from my magazine.
"Eh. Good sex, but all he wanted to talk about was his girlfriend. Boo hoo, if you feel so damn guilty then why are you still inside me?" She cackled and we moved on to more interesting topics.
"So my brother has moved on from the ballerina, Finally." I looked up, slightly interested. Phillip was cute.
"Yeah, I'm not sure who he's with, but he has been sneaking around all week and I haven't seen him all day. God I wish my grandmother was here. She would flip her lid if she knew what he was doing."
"Yeah? I think all of our parents would freak. That's why we were sent here after all."
"True, although we were only sent here because of stupid Dawn. Everything was going great before she ruined everything." I sat up quickly, now this was what I wanted to hear. No one ever talked about their lives back home.
"Why? I thought she was the golden child?" I smirked, thinking of my own sister. Clara Sue rolled her eyes and leaned back onto my pillows.
"No, actually. That would be my brother. Dawn was the one no one wanted. My Mother had an affair when phillip was just born. She got pregnant and my grandmother found out. She insisted on getting rid of it, but my Mother wanted Dawn so damn bad. But no one tells my grandmother no, so she convinced these people to take Dawn, or Eugenia. That's her real name. They made it look like she was kidnapped. No one knew that it was a lie until they miracuoulsly found her. They had to bring her back. Dawn was a whiny bitch the whole time we were at the hotel. You know she was dating Phillip at school before we found out she was our sister?" She revealed. I gasped and nearly choked on the air.
"Oh my god, did they do it?" I exclaimed and she sat up with a wicked smile.
"See no one knows. Phillip sleeps with freaking everyone! He sure was bragging about how he was going to, but then the big secret came out. She refused to say anything about it when I asked her. That's why I had to tell Grandmother. If that stupid bitch had just told me when I asked we wouldn't have had to come here."
I was stunned into silence. I thought my family was screwed up. I debated telling her my story, but that could make me look weak. I was kind of the leader of our little group and I wasn't giving that up anytime soon.
Suddenly it hit me. We could use this new information to our advantage. We would just put it in our back pockets for later.
"Who else knows about Phillip and Dawn?" I demanded and she shrugged, getting off of the bed.
"No one other than us. But hey, I am going to go see my dear brother upstairs. It's my grandmother's birthday next weekend. I think we might go home for the party." I threw a pillow at her.
"Must be nice. My parent's aren't letting us come home anytime soon." I sighed and let her leave. Now that I was alone for the first time today I had a chance to breathe. I thought about what I was doing with my life. Boozing, cruising, sleeping around? Was this all I was meant for? I mean I was an heiress to the Dumas fortune, so eventually I would have to settle down with some lame, boring, ugly trust fund blue blood with no personality. Just like every woman before me.
Maybe I didn't want that life though. What if I wanted to travel the world, marry an artist or just run wild forever? Maybe there was more cajun to me than I would like to admit.
