"I just don't understand why all of a sudden you're against the plan. I
mean the rumours are already spread and now it's time for step two and then
you want to change the rules on me. Not fair Sebastian."
Sebastian glanced at Kathryn sitting on his bed, polishing her nails. "I told you, it's not going to work. Rumours sure, but the actual thing - I don't think we can pull it off." He hadn't told her about the guys in the locker room, and he wasn't going too. She'd never drop the plan for the sake of his bruised ego.
Now she took her attention off her nails and looked at him with an insulted face expression. "Sebastian, please. We can pull anything off." She snorted and he rolled his eyes.
"It's not like you're God." He muttered but she heard him and immediatly shot him a glare.
"Maybe not literally but not far away."
Sebastian snorted. "I think somebody needs to get back down on earth with the rest of us humble humans." He said and Kathryn put her nailpolisher on his bedside table.
"What I *need* is some fine white powder that'll..."
"NO!" Sebastian snapped and she cringed. He got softer. "You don't need that shit. You just think you do. But it messes with your head." He sighed leaning back on his chair. "Now, what are we going to do? I still want the parental unit to be un-unitized but...how?"
Kathryn tilted her head and slid of the bed. She walked over to him by his desk and stood infront of him looking down on him. "You think too much." She said and he frowned.
"I do? Really, well...do you have a cure for it? Cause it's giving me an awful headache that I just can't seem to get rid off."
She grinned, climbing up on his lap. "I might know a thing or two that'll help you but..." She got quite, a wicked smile curling her lips while she started to unbutton his shirt.
Sebastian was alarmed. This was when she was most dangerous. "But what?" He asked gloomy and Kathryn pouted.
"Don't sound so grumpy." She leaned down and bit his lower lip a little, then leaned back again. "It's a good but."
He grinned too, cupping her ass. "Is that so?"
She laughed in understanding. "Not that sort of butt." She wriggled a little feeling him rise under her. "I just wanted to ... make sure that... even if you're not all that hot for the plan right now ... that you'll back me up." She kissed him, moving back and forth on his lap.
He moaned. "Uhuh."
"You know, I can't do it alone. And ... without you ... I might as well drop it. And I don't want to drop it. It'll ruin my mood." She stopped moving and smiled ever so sweetly down at him.
Sebastian knew he was being talked into it but at that second he didn't care. He firmly took a grip of her waist and pulled her closer down on him. "It might cost you." He said and she grinned, knowing it was as good as settled.
"Oh really, and what might the prize of such honorable duties cost?"
He put his hand on her arm and let it slide over her soft skin before responding. "I want you to break up with Troy."
"What?" Kathryn got very stiff and arched one of her eyebrows. She should've seen it coming, but she payed so little thought to Troy herself that she hadn't.
"It's reasonable." Sebastian thought. "What? Are you two crazy kids getting serious?" He mocked but Kathryn didn't smile.
She didn't like this. She wasn't sure she was prepared to do that just yet. Not that she was in love with Troy or anything, it was just, if she did that for Sebastian it would mean something. And she wasn't sure what it would mean.
"I'll have to think about it." She said climbing off him. Sebastian started to protest but she just leered and walked towards the door. "Have a nice evening Sebastian." She teased swaying her hips a little more then usual before closing the door behind her.

Tiffani Merteuil-Valmont was sitting in the beauty salong that she and her friend Lucinda Rockwater had attended every Thursday, since the year they'd both turned 18.
It was a nice nostalgic 60's atmosphere over the place with it's pink walls and the scented candles placed randomly to set the mood.
"Oh Daphne darling, will you do my nails that sheer pink colour again? It just did wonders to my eyes." Tiffani asked on of the quaint little girls working at the Crystal Clear.
Before she'd been supicious towards the new young girls and only let the ones she already knew handle her appearance, but now she'd learned that the younger ones usually were more talented.
"Of course Mrs Valmont." The girl nodded with a sweet smile and rushed of to get her kit.
Tiffani turned to Lucinda who sat in the chair next to her, lazily flipping the pages of a gossip paper while getting her hair done.
"Lucie, is there something going on?" she asked with a low voice and her friend shrugged without lifting her eyes.
"Nu-uh darling. Not that I know of anyway."
Tiffani raised her left eyebrow. She did that whenever she disliked what someone was saying. And now she disliked what Lucinda was saying because she knew it was a lie. There had been whispers and giggling following her around all day. And if there was something she didn't like it was being out of the loop.
"Don't be silly Lucie, I know there's something I don't know. I hear things you know, and there has been something in the air all day." She pouted her pink lower lip. "Come on, you can tell me. You know I hate being the last to know."
Lucinda shot her the most unusal look, it was full of sympathy and to a trained eye you could spot some gloating too.
"Tell me." Tiffani urged and Lucinda closed her paper.
"Oh sweetie, I want you to know that I just found out. I had no idea before. It came as a complete shock to me and I am so sorry for you to hear it this way..."
"Luce! Just tell me." Tiffani begged. She was desperate to know and with her friend this close to telling she couldn't wait.
Lucinda took a deep breath. "It's about Edward." She started just as Daphne came back with her nail kit.
"Mrs Valmont..."
"Leave us." Tiffani snapped without mercy and waved her hand dismissingly. Daphne didn't say anything but immediatley disappeared. Tiffani turned back to Lucinda.
"What about Edward?"
Lucinda felt mixed pleasure and pain having to tell her best friend about what her daughter had told her. Telling everybody else had been one thing but telling Tiffani herself was harder. Although she would enjoy it.
*********'
Kathryn had gotten home from her friend Alina's and was in her room, changing clothes. She hated wearing the same outfit all day. It made her feel so unfresh.
She'd just put on a new midnight blue skirt and a sheer top to it. She let down her hair and pulled her hairbrush through it a couple of times. She just put it down on her vanity table when she heard something outside her door. It sounded like an argument.
She frowned and slowly moved over to her door and opened it just a tiny bit and peeked out. The voices came from the sitting room down the hall. She stepped out just as Sebastian did the same. They exchanged glances and then sneaked closer to the room together.
"I can't believe I get to hear it from Lucinda!! Do you have any idea of how humiliating that was!? Edward have I not been a good wife?" Tiffani's voice reached high pitched desperation and she moved her hand in the air spilling half her drink on the expensive indoneesian rug on the floor.
Edward took a step towards his wife but she back away. "Tiffani, darling, what are you talking about?" He asked impatience growing stronger in his voice. He'd been dealing with her for only a few minutes now and already he was annoyed with her. Kathryn got an evil grin on her face and Sebastian glanced at her, knowing she was proud of herself.
"You!!! I'm talking about you! You, you... liar!" She threw the glass into the wall breaking it.
"Now Tiffani calm down!" Edward roared as Sebastian wasn't surprised at all. He knew Kathryn had her dramatic side from her mom, throwing objects was an ordinary thing for him.
"No I won't! I want you out! I want you out of this house and out of my life you perverted creep! You and your good for nothing son!! I want you gone!" Tiffani screamed on the top of her lungs and Sebastian immediatley turned to Kathryn.
He saw the same feeling he had reflected on her face. Anxiety mixed with fear.
Kathryn put her nose in the air, preparing to go into the battle field. She gave Sebastian a small nod before she dressed her face in an innocent look.
"Mother? What's going on?" She sounded like an angel and Tiffani jerked her head around in her direction.
"Kathryn go to bed!"
"But..."
"Kathryn." The voice was relentless and Kathryn couldn't hide the angry line her mouth turned into. She turned around and walked back to Sebastian in defeat.
The fight in the sitting room continued, voices raising and glasses breaking. Kathryn just walked back to her room with Sebastian followed her.
"See!" He stated. "See why that wasn't a good plan. If she has her way I'll be out of here by the end of the week. Was that what the plan was about Kat? Getting me out of your perfect existence?"
She glared at him. "Fuck you Sebastian." She spat out and was about to close her door but Sebastian put his hand on it, preventing her from closing it.
"Kathryn." He said most serious and she sighed a little, tossing her hair over her shoulders.
"Trust me... you're not going anywhere." She said before she closed it.
