Sorry that it took so long to update but i was on a quick vacation to Washington D.C. with my cousin Matt and my little sister.
Claire's penthouse,
Upper East Side, Manhattan
New York, New York
Claire stumbled into the Versace and Ralph Lauren decorated living room, kicked off her heels, and plopped down on the beige Versace leather couch. Massie and Selena came gliding in after her. Selena ripped off her jacket, boots, and sweater and ran over next to Claire to watch cartoons on Claire's LG liquid screen flat screen TV. Massie took off her jacket, and heels. Claire knew that she was going to either get yelled at or congratulated at for kissing Griffin by Massie soon. Claire was right. Massie casually strolled over to Claire, and tugged on her thin wrist. "Claire can I talk to you in the other room for a second?" Massie asked, fake sweetness dripping from her voice.
Claire sighed and followed Massie into her bedroom. Massie slammed the door shut, then pushed Claire into a sitting position on the bed. "What the hell was that all about?!" Massie demanded. Claire couldn't tell if Massie was mad, or curious. "What do you mean?" Claire decided to play dumb. Massie rolled her stunning amber eyes impatiently. "Kuh-laire! I'm not in the mood to deal with your 'play dumb' act! You know what I mean! Kissing Griffin outside the bar!" Claire looked down at her hands nervously. "Mass I-I think I like G-Griffin more than I should." Claire managed to stutter out. Massie squealed to Claire's surprise. "Claire that is amazing!" Massie pulled Claire off the bed and danced around in circles with her. "You finally got over Cam!! I was wondering if you ever would!! Now you and Griffin can get married, and me and Derrick can-" Massie stopped short, and her once rosy complexion was now paler than Claire's when she finally got her period in 9th grade. Claire's aqua eyes widened bigger than an anime characters.
"Mass?" Massie sat down bewildered. "I...I d-didn't mean that...C-Claire... Please don't tell anyone! Not even the PC! I don't know what came over me, I was just so excited about you and Griffin, I kind of forgot that we weren't together..." Claire sat down next to Massie and stroked her hair. "I understand Mass. I think I know what it is." Claire looked at Massie knowingly raising her blond eyebrows. Massie looked into Claire's eyes with a vulnerability and fear that Claire had never seen in Massie. "N-no you don't mean that do you..? It can't be! I don't still love him Claire! I will find someone else! I'm totally done with Derrick just like you are totally done with Cam. Now we are forgetting that this conversation ever happened. Now Claire we have to get something to eat I am starved!" Claire stood up and decided to forget the conversation like Massie.
"Nah, you can eat something but not me. Its Fashion Week soon. Remember? I have a Lavin, Proenza Shouler, DKNY, Catherine Maladrino, BeBe, and a Vera Wang show to walk in. And you know how strict Lavin is about staying in shape for the runway." Massie rolled her eyes and nodded. "Gawd I walked for them two months ago and they were all like, ' Massie! What have you been eating?! Your hips are like 100 percent cellulite!! You are never going to fit into this mini skirt!' and I was a freaking size two!" Claire and Massie laughed, and sauntered away into the living room to get Selena a snack. The moment they entered the room, Selena jumped off the couch and greeted them. "Can we go shopping?" Selena asked hopefully. Massie nodded. "Sure. Let me go back to my house and get changed. People have already seen me in this outfit once today." Massie strutted out of the apartment.
Claire rolled her eyes. "Lets get you dressed. You had along morning. Maybe a bath, a new outfit, and a visit to the park will do you good." Selena nodded, then jumped into the bedroom to get changed, while Claire started the bath water. When Selena came out of the bedroom, she was wearing one of Claire's silk La Perla lingerie slips. It was too big for Selena's small frame, so it was hanging off her. She twirled around in circles, and said in a fake British accent, "Lady Claire, is my bath ready? I hope so, because I simply must smell good for all of the fans!" Claire laughed, and hugged Selena. "Yes Queen Selena, it is ready. Would you like help getting out of that lovely dress?" Selena laughed and nodded. Claire gently slid the garment off of Selena, who eagerly jumped into the warm tub water.
Claire was sitting on the floor of her master bathroom watching Selena scrub her hair with raspberry scented Aveda shampoo and conditioner, when she had an idea. "Hey Selena, do you want to take some friends shopping with you? It will be so much fun!" Selena looked down at her feet sadly. "Well... that would be nice if I had any friends. But I've always been made fun of at school, and nobody has ever wanted me. Nobody but you and Massie. " Claire felt a sudden surge of guilt and hate towards all the kids who made fun of Selena. "Well then now is the perfect time to make some! How about we go to the park and you can play with some nice kids at the park, and then maybe we can set up a play date!" Selena perked up. "Ok! I've always wanted friends like you and Massie have!" Claire giggled and help Selena wash her hair.
After Selena was out of the bath, and had run into Claire's room with hot curlers in her hair, Claire call Massie. "What do you mean she has no friends?! She is pretty, nice, and rich! What isn't there to love?!" Massie yelled angrily when Claire told her about Selena's social life. "Well I suggested that we go to the park so that she can meet a few kids and maybe have a play date." Claire tried to calm Massie down. Claire heard Massie sigh frustrated. "Whatevs. As long as Selena gets to interact with rich kids like herself, then I'm fine." Claire rolled her eyes, as she sat down behind Selena on the canopy bed in the guest room, and slowly took out the curlers, making sure that each curl was as perfect as the previous one. " Don't worry we will take her to a nice park in Carroll Gardens. You know where all of the 'rich kids' hang out with their nannies." "Perf. Now I'm wearing a Chloe sundress, Burberry parka, and yellow Fendi pumps. You?" Claire thought for a minute. "I'm wearing an Anna Sui shirt dress, a cropped Marc Jacobs jacket, and my cute Christian Louboutain ankle boots. Oh, and Selena will be wearing a shirt dress with a parka, and gladiator sandals. A combination of the two. And her hair is curled." "Perf times 10! Ok so I'm curling my hair, you straighten yours. That way I'll be like high fashion chic, and you will be high fashion punk or whatever. Kay I'll meet you at that park across from that one store Hasker in 15 minutes. Be on time!"
Massie hung up, and Claire tossed her phone on the bed, and finished spraying Selena's curls with hairspray. She then set out the clothes for Selena, and changed into her outfit quickly. While Selena struggled to find the sleeve on her layered Uniqlo shirt dress, Claire straightened her hair, applied a smokey eye, swiped on some pink M.A.C. lip gloss, and spritzed herself with Juicy Couture's perfume Juicy Couture on her pressure points. After Claire had grabbed her Michael Kors handbag, and helped Selena get everything on, she searched her closet for that pink Juicy bag that she never used to complete Selena's outfit. Once the two girls looked like models, (Which one of them technically was) they set off for the subway. No matter how disgusting it smelled or how dirty it was.
The instant that Claire and Selena strutted down the steps to wait on the platform for the subway, they instantly regretted it. They were surrounded by homeless drunks sitting on cardboard boxes, and smelly middle class people. A drunk hobo with a tangle of messy hair, and oversized coats, caught Selena's eye, and yelled drunkenly, "What are you lookin at bitch?! You think that we can all afford them fancy clothes and bags you got?! Well unlike you, you spoiled brat, we have to actually work for somethings that you get automatically. So stop staring before you end up like me!" Selena turned away frightened and hugged Claire tightly. Claire dropped at twenty in the hobo's hat before flicking him off. He nodded, and went back to gulping down a mysterious liquid in a flask. Claire sighed as the train pulled up and thanked god that it was at least one of the new ones instead of the old ones that stink.
Claire led Selena to a seat that was far away from all of the madness of a hobo and a man yelling at each other. Suddenly a young man who looked like a male model sat down next to the girls. A young boy about the age of Selena, who was totally adorable with his messy blond hair that covered his eyes, deep brown eyes, and freckles sat down next to the man. Selena peeked at the boy next to her. Claire noticed her blush when the boy returned her stare. Claire giggled, as the two obviously tried not ignore the others stares. The man who was sitting next to the boy was like a replica of the little boy. He was tall, slender (just how Claire liked them!), and he had the same blond hair as the boy. He had shaggy blond hair, green eyes, freckles, and straight teeth. Claire noticed that the man was smiling at Claire and Selena.
" I like your dress." The little boy said to Selena. Selena blushed deeply. "Thanks. I like your... hair." Selena said nervously as she tried to return the compliment. "My names Chuck or Chuckie." the boy said. Selena giggled. "My name is Selena. Its nice to meet you... Chuckie!" Selena flew into a fit of giggles. The boy blushed and muttered under his breath, "Shut up." Selena stopped giggling and apologized. "Sorry its just that our names match. You know like Chuck and Serena from Gossip Girl. Except my name is Selena. " Claire laughed. "Selena when did you watch Gossip Girl?!" Selena blushed. "When you and Massie were talking in the other room earlier." Claire laughed, and the man next to Chuck laughed too. "Hey my name is Matt. And I know who you are. Claire Lyons the famous supermodel." Claire smiled. "Yeah. Well It was nice to meet you boys, but this is our stop. Bye!" Claire said as she and Selena picked up their bags, and sauntered off of the train.
When Claire and Selena exited the subway station, Claire looked down at Selena and smirked. "Well Chuck seemed fond of you." Selena blushed and pretended that she didn't care. "Who cares. He had a funny name, and he kept staring at me. I didn't even think he was cute." Claire laughed. "You are just like Massie you know that? Haha! Alright lets go find Auntie Massie before she hurts me." Selena snickered, then ran off towards the park. Claire lingered behind, and couldn't help but giggle at the picture of Selena and Chuck glancing at one another nervously on the subway.
There was a cute filler chapter for you crazy people!! Ok so I have very mild writers block at the moment and I have no clue what to do next with Claire, Massie, and Selena. Any ideas would be great! But fear not! I shall recover soon! Oh, and I just finished New Moon the Twilight book. It was pretty awesome!! I think I might write a Twilight story next...
REVIEW ME LOVES!!
