Saturday 25th of February 2012
This was Cruella's big day. This was the day her future depended on. She needed these investors for her to be able to start working at the plaza again! And she really needed that to stay sane! She would go insane if she were to walk around home all day, every day.
Cruella's phone alarm went off. She lifted her head from the pillow and looked over at it. It said 08.10 am. She must had put it on 'Snooze' without even noticing it.
She managed to sit up before she fell asleep again.
The night before at Jean Pierre's had been nice, but late. She had persuaded him to make her a one of a kind fur stole to go with her gold diamond feather dress that she was going to wear at the dinner party. She didn't get home until 2 am!
Cruella heard the alarm go off again and threw the phone on the floor. She was too annoyed to sleep now.
She changed in to a black full body turtleneck lace dress with a matching floor length lace robe and shoes.
She did her hair and makeup before heading down for some seriously needed morning detox tea. It was like she was hung over from lack of sleep. It was terrible.
She sat down in the tea room with the newspaper when the phone rang.
''Hello'' Cruella said.
''Cruella, this is your mother, I want to talk to you. So does your father.'' Malevola said.
''What is the actual matter with you? Have you not picked up on my hints? I do not want anything to do with you. You two morons have ruined my life.'' Cruella said.
''We want to be there for you, Cruella, let us be there for you! You are such a weak person, you need our help in this time of need!'' Malevola said.
''I am not weak, mother! You are. You are weak and pathetic. Both of you are! You keep your wretched souls away from me! You can go to hell!'' she said.
''Yes Cruella, you are weak, you might not admit it to me, or even yourself, but face the fact Cruella, you are weak and sad. But we want to be there for you, to help you, financially! You don't need to hide your problems from your parents, darling. We both know that you are flat broke after losing your job and home.'' Malevola said.
''I am not broke, mother. And I am getting my job back soon, very soon!'' Cruella said.
''Not broke? Haha, don't try to fool me darling. Where did you get money from may I ask? They took all of your money when you stupidly stole puppies and brought them to France! And to think, you were going to wear them for the world to see, you are such an unintelligent woman that it makes me sick sometimes, darling.'' Malevola said with a light chuckle to her voice.
''I sold all of the antiques in your old room. It was antiques everywhere there.'' Cruella said.
''YOU DID WHAT? WHAT?'' Malevola screamed in the phone.
''Yes mother, yes..'' Cruella said and laughed.
Cruella hung up and took another puff from her smoke and smiled.
Cruella felt on top of the world again. It was like she had just driven over her mother with a bulldozer! And she loved it.. She knew how much those antiques ment to Malevola!
She walked over to the window and started laughing. She laughed and laughed. She hadn't laughed like that in 12 years.
It was such a lovely validation, everything was falling in place!
One hour later she heard her mothers car coming up her driveway.
Cruella opened the door for her mother before she even got up to the house.
''Hello mother, lovely day isn't it?'' Cruella said with a big grin on her face.
''Oh you wretched woman!'' Malevola said before she started running up the stairs.
''You won't find anything up there, mother!'' Cruella said.
''WE'LL SEE!'' Malevola screamed from the second floor.
Cruella started walking up the stairs to the third floor.
When Cruella reached the 'antique room' she saw her mother sitting on the bed with her face buried in her hands.
Cruella started laughing again.
''Oh stop it you beast!'' Malevola said.
''I made a little over 40 000 pounds on all the crap that was in here!'' Cruella said.
''How could you? All of this was family heirlooms, some of it even dated back to the 1600's!'' Malevola said.
''Oh well, what are you gonna do you old fart? Hit me with your cane?'' Cruella said laughingly. Cruella turned around and started to walk for the stairs.
Malevola came out in the hall and screamed ''MAYBE I WILL!'' before she swang for Cruella with her cane. Cruella managed to move away just in time.
Cruella took a chair from the hallway and threw it at Malevola.
''ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!'' Malevola shrieked.
''YES!'' Cruella screamed. ''I HATE YOUR GUTS!''
Malevola got up from the floor and started to walk down the stairs.
Cruella screamed after her ''By the way, that moss green wolf coat is tacky as can be! Take your ill-fitting wig with you and get out of my life!''
'She wont come back here anymore' Cruella thought to herself.
