Chapter 2: Enter the Black Widows
AJ
Howie just ran after Tamera. I hope he smoothes things over… Then again knowing Sweet D he will. Tamera seems like an awesome chick.
"Way ta go Nickay." I say as I stand up.
"Where you goin'?" Brian asks as he and Kevin get back to their game.
"To break things off with Natalia." I say seriously.
"Do it gently man. A woman's heart is a fickle thing." Kevin says sounding like some guru.
"I hope D smoothes things over with that girl." Brian says his main focus on the video game.
"He will." I say standing by the door.
"Yea, we all know he will." Kevin says, like Brian, his focus on the game.
"Yeah, we call him Sweet D for a reason, right?" Nick says perking up.
"Yup, see ya'll later." I say as I walk out of our dressing room.
I head out to the parking lot and to my Expedition. As I get inside it I sink back into the chair and look at the street below. Taking a deep breath I start it up and head out of the parking complex.
***10 minutes later***
~~~ At the restaurant ~~~
I look around the restaurant and spot Natalia sitting at a back corner table. She's wearing a v-neck spaghetti strap black top and leather pants. Her golden brown hair half up to show off her gold hoop earrings. I swallow hard and walk over to her. She smiles when she sees me and her green eyes sparkle. I don't want to break her heart but this just doesn't feel right.
"Hi AJ. How was the concert?" Natalia asks as I sit down across from her.
"It went well. I'm surprised you and Bianca weren't there tonight. I mean it was a big concert and al." I say making a point to myself.
"Only Sharen could get tickets, so what could we do?" Natalia says shrugging her shoulders.
"You could have called me, you know I would have found a way to get you two in. Why didn't you?" I ask trying not to sound mad but annoyed.
"I don't know. We didn't think of it." Natalia says like it's nothing.
"You don't seem to think of a lot of things… like calling me while I'm on tour or coming out to see me when I'm in town. This relationship isn't working for me anymore. I'm sorry but good bye Natalia." I say standing up and starting to walk away.
"You can't do this to me AJ! I love you!" Natalia yells as I walk out of the restaurant.
Nick
Man I hope I didn't blow it for D. I could tell he really liked Tamera. I mean he never acts like that around a girl unless he likes her an awful lot. AJ just left to break it off with Natalia… Now soon I have to go meet Bianca and break it off with her. I just hope that she doesn't start making a scene and stuff. I look over at Brian and Kevin playing their video game… I think Kevin's winning. I stand up walking to the door and stop behind Brian.
"I'll see you two back at the hotel. I have to go meet Bianca." I say heading for the door.
"Good luck." Brian says not looking from the TV.
"Thanks, I'm gonna need it." I mutter to myself as I walk out of our dressing room.
I make my way out to my Dirango and head for a restaurant near the area. I park near by and go inside. I see a Latino woman with long dark brown hair in a ponytail, black eyeliner around her dark brown eyes, white eye shadow over her eyelids and dark pink lipstick on her lips. She's wearing tight flares and a tight tank top but are made of a sparkle purple material. I sigh as Bianca walks over to me. She kisses me and takes my hand.
"I've been waiting for you." Bianca says tugging my arm.
"Bianca I've got to tell you something." I say seriously which is odd for me.
"What is it Nicky?" Bianca asks stopping and looking at me.
"Look I don't think things are working out with us." I say trying not to meet her eyes.
"What? No. Why? Whatever it is Nick we can fix it. I don't want to lose you!" Bianca says desperately holding both of my hands tightly in hers.
"No Bianca. This you can't fix good bye." I say pulling my hands from hers and walking away.
Bianca
I just stand there watching Nick, the blond haired blue eyed pop star I've loved since the days of Quite Playin' Game… Well I liked him since then but we've only gone out about 6 moths. Then my cell phone rings. I pull it out of my pocket and see Sharen on the caller id.
"Hello?" I say into my cell phone.
"Emergency meeting at my house tonight." Sharen says quickly.
"What about Natalia? Isn't she with AJ tonight?" I ask confused.
"I'll explain once you're here. She's on her way." Sharen says depressed.
"Ok. I'll be there in five minutes." I say as I hang up my cell phone.
*** 5 minutes later***
~~~ At Sharen's House ~~~
I walk inside knowing the door's open. I see Sharen sitting at a round table in her living room. Her pale blond hair is down and falling over the black tank top she's wearing. There are three black candles in the center of the table and only two are lit. The candlelight makes her pale apricot skin look a little golden. I sit down in between Natalia and Sharen on the opposite side of the table. I light the last candle and look at Sharen.
"I've called this meeting of the Black Widows tonight because… Howie dumped me before the concert then after the concert I saw why. Some red headed bitch stole him from me." Sharen says slamming her fist down onto the table.
"AJ dumped me too, before I came here." Natalia says sitting up straighter.
"Nick did the same." I say raising an eyebrow,
"It seems we have a conspiracy on our hands." Sharen says looking at both of us.
"I think we should make a solemn vow right here, tonight." Natalia says smiling a bit.
"You read my mind, Natalia. From here on out we'll do everything in our powers to get the one's we love back. And any girl who tries to take them we'll eliminate.' Sharen says holding her hand above the candles in a fist.
I smile and clasp my hand over her's. Then Natalia clasps her hand over mine. I look to Natalia and see determination in her green eyes the flames of the candles reflecting in her pupils. My eyes drift to Sharen and I meet her baby blue eyes. They gleam with unshed tears but look fierce with the candle flames reflecting off her pupils. We all nod then drop and lift our clasped hands.
"We are the black widows. Our friendship sealed with blood. Loyal to each other and no other." We all chant together in unison.
"We here by pledge." Sharen says staring at the candles.
"In the name of love." Natalia says her hand tightening on mine.
"To get back the ones we love." I say my face determined and my eye focused on the flame of my candle.
"And death to the bitch who touches what isn't her's." Sharen says nodding her head again.
"And death to the bitch who touches what isn't her's." Natalia and I echo her each of us nodding our heads.
