Eleanor was getting ready for the gathering. She wore a three by fourth length black sleeveless frock. She wore black flats and tied her hair into a bun. She wore a light pink lip balm rather than her favorite red lipstick and matched her outfit with black tops for her ears. Taking her white purse she went out to knock on Myna's door.
"Woah…. You look dazzling," Eleanor exclaimed the moment Myna opened the door.
"Really?" Myna asked.
"yes!" Eleanor said.
"I plan to take everyone to the bar and dance like no tomorrow!" Myna said as she swayed her hips from left to right twice.
"I am not going to drink," Eleanor said to her unsaid thoughts.
"What do you mean you won't drink? You are saying as if I am forcing you to drink. You won't drink obviously. And we are going to ladies bar. It's Christmas in two days and new year is coming! Aww… It's all fun time ahead! How about we go on a trip away from all the tensions!" Myna said as she thought about it.
She was even feeling proud about her thoughts. She felt like she did a great thing for the first time in her life.
"Yes! That's the plan!" Myna said.
Eleanor: "…"
[Remember, I am standing in front of you with 5feet 6 inches height.] Eleanor thought but she couldn't say anything out because she knew if she said anything that would only get endless of chattering from Myna. So, as a wise woman she chose to shut her mouth. She just hoped that her unborn child wouldn't get influenced by this woman.
"They might be for us. Shall we go?" Eleanor asked. Myna nodded and started walking along with her. Their driver was already waiting from them with the car. Climbing into the car, Myna took her phone and called to Tiffany and Nathaira immediately informing them that they started already.
Soon, they reached the said place.
"So, guys after eating how about we go to the bar? Hmm? Today in the Taurasite bar there is a party going on especially for woman. How about we join the fun?" Myna asked.
"Myna, are you being crazy or what? That is the year end party of this area. We need to either have tickets or invitations. We didn't buy the tickets and none of us are invited. How could we attend it?" Eleanor asked.
"Ayyo… if that's the problem then it's solved." Myna said proudly. She even started massaging her invisible biceps.
"How?" Tiffany asked feeling excited.
"Valene gave them to me." Myna said with a slight blush.
"I suddenly miss Oliver," Nathaira said as she fanned herself.
"Aish… this room is filled with pink hearts," Tiffany said.
"Oh… at the mention of the word love, I heard that Mason said he likes you," Eleanor asked raising her brows.
"Th-that's a ru-rumour," Tiffany said stuttering. Her face turned pink at her words.
"Did you see that girls? She is hiding her winter warmth for herself." Eleanor said.
"We are not asking you to share your winter warmth, beautiful. Share the details between you and your winter warmth," Nathaira said.
This morning when Myna and Eleanor asked her for the dinner, she was surprised. But deep down, she was very happy. For the first time, she felt happy that even she started making friends. She asked Oliver and crashed her. Even Oliver was happy to see her like this. Oliver personally dropped her here before he left.
"Okay… okay… She didn't tell that she won't tell. She will tell everything over the meal. Let's order something first," Myna said.
"This gluttonous pig, would never change it's way," Eleanor grumbled under her breath.
"Whom are you calling Glutton?" Myna raised her voice, feeling wronged. How could she call her gluttonous pig? It's just that… she eats a bit more than others! Hmph! Valene even says that he finds her cute when she was eating. Awww…. Indeed she was so cute and beautiful. If not how could he fall for her.
"Why are you responding? I didn't say Myna is the glutton! Why are so eager to claim the gluttonous pig title? Or do you want that title? Or are you informing that no one supposed to snatch that title from you?" Eleanor asked making 'disgusted' face.
"You! You! Don't go to far!" Myna said as she huffed and puffed.
"Where did go far? I am sitting here from the time I am here. I didn't even move an inch," Eleanor said with a thoughtful expression.
An invisible black crow flew above Myna's head at Eleanor's words.
For some reason, Nathaira felt hundreds of chicks were shouting in her ears. While, Tiffany has a fangirl expression. She realized that Eleanor was good at words. If she becomes her apprentice then she could talk so awesomely. Awww…. The thought itself made Tiffany happy.
"Why am I seeing Cedric in you?" Nathaira asked forgetting the fact that Eleanor and Cedric weren't in talking terms.
Eleanor whipped her head towards her side. Indeed, her words went to the times when Cedric flirted with her. He grabbed every chance to shower himself with self-praises. She kind of liked that side of him. Eleanor didn't noticed that unconsciously she started learning to talk like him or maybe started imitating the way he speaks. Suddenly, she missed him. She wanted to be with him. The weather was cold, and she wanted warmth to engulf her in his embrace. Maybe she wanted to get engulfed by the warmth came from Cedric's body.
His smiles, his words, his innocent yet stupid actions, his flirting and everything that happened between them flashed in her mind. Can they be together?
She wanted him but afraid of him.
How could she get him?
Her hand went to her flat belly that still doesn't have any bump. She stroked it with her open palm at a slow pace.
There was an awkward silence when Nathaira said those. Even she regretted saying them. Those just flew out of her mouth. She felt bad wondering if she was going to loose the friends she was making. Myna saw the flustered and worried Expression on Nathaira and cleared her throat loudly breaking Eleanor from her daze and the awkward atmosphere.
"I am ordering.. Pick your dishes that you like to eat," Myna said.
