Green With Envy (Part Three)
On the way to the party, Cortana and Tawana continuously bickered. She really wanted to crush Tawana's dim-witted face in for taking her crush. Cortana knew John longer than that Covenant bitch, and she can treat him a lot better than she can.
The girls' constant backbiting eventually annoyed John to the point of raising his voice.
"Alright, that's enough! We're going to this party to enjoy ourselves, not irritate the hell out of each other! Do I make myself clear?"
Cortana and Tawana hushed up quickly, staring at John in surprise. Of course, Tawana just has to have the last word.
"I KNOW you ain't talkin' to me like that! Who do you think you are? I will have no problem findin' someone else to replace your ol' stankin' ass!"
Cortana can feel her blood boil. Just when she reaches back to slap the living shit out of her, they arrive at the massive party hall. This place glowed an eerie green, matching the party's theme: 'The Arbiter's Lucky Day.' This party is thrown in honor of The Arbiter, since it is his 21st birthday. Loud rock music can be heard from outside, echoing through the building. John puts his arms around both girls and smiles.
"Are my two favorite princesses ready to party?"
Cortana and Tawana glance at each other and roll their eyes. At the same time, they answer.
"Yeah, I guess."
They grab each other's hands and dash inside the huge structure. Cortana and John take a quick look at each other swiftly; a small grin creeps on John's face, his teal-blue eyes sparkling in the green luminosity of the party hall. A Brute bouncer lets them through; straight to the largest party they've ever been to.
The dance floor is crowded with guests; humans and Covenant alike. Everyone is dressed in either green or black. Extremely loud music drowns out the guests. Tawana grabs John's hands and yells over the din of the party:
"Let's dance!" While they pass Cortana, she just HAS to have the LAST WORD! "I'm sure Cortex can find her own dance partner!"
Just when Cortana is about to fire back, the DJ yells over the speakers, starling her.
"Alright ya'll! Who's ready to get…Stupified?!"
The crowd makes an enormously amount of noise, Cortana is thinking up the best plan to ruin Tawana's night—and her mimicking outfit. While the DJ starts to play 'Stupify' by Disturbed, she conveniently goes to the drink stand and orders a Long Island iced tea. Cortana inches her way toward Tawana and John, who are dancing in time with the music. She pretends to trip over her foot, spilling her drink all over her enemy's shirt, completely drenching it.
With anger in her voice, she yells:
"YOU LITTLE BITCH! MY SHIRT!"
John tries to console her; instead, Tawana slaps him across his face, leaving a handprint on his left cheek.
That was the last straw. Cortana is not going to let her get away with that. She grips Tawana's shoulder and violently turns her around to face her.
"You…Covenant…Bitch."
The last thing Tawana seen was Cortana's fist meeting her face. She stumbles backward into the snack table, toppling it over, landing in a mass of cold cuts. Cortana grabs her shirt, ripping it, exposing her bra to the world. Tawana trips Cortana, making her fall on cherry cheesecake.
The crowd is egging them on. The girls rip each other's shirts, exposing bras and cleavage for the whole world to see. John wants to break up the fight…(well, he is a guy, you know.) Both girls are covered in cold cuts, chocolate cake frosting, you name it, they were covered in it. Cortana finishes the fight by grabbing Tawana's hair. She drags her to the door and yells:
"…AND STAY AWAY FROM JOHN, BEEYATCH!"
Cortana kicking her up the ass follows that remark.
An hour later, John and Cortana arrive at the upscale apartment building. She starts to feel like a total idiot by fighting her best friend's girlfriend. Well, she had it coming. Cortana smiles shamefacedly, then giggles fretfully.
"I'm sorry I ruined our night. I shouldn't have fought her."
John smirks lovingly and holds her hands firmly.
"She should be the one apologizing for the way she treated both of us. Tawana is not the right one for me, you are."
Cortana couldn't believe her ears. Her gut was right! John really did love her!
"You love me even though I smell like a cheesecake sandwich?"
John brings her closer to his awesomely sexy body. He laughs lovingly and says:
"I love you no matter what you're covered in."
He gives her the most passionate kiss Cortana will never forget. They are truly a match made in Heaven.
