Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

I woke up feeling like a million bucks, not a care in the world. I rummaged through my closet and spotted the neon dress hanging just like I had kept it last night.

Rose gave it to me.

No no, don’t get it wrong. She did not give it to me, she just acted as the courier person.

She stormed back in yesterday when Sarah was having that weird breakdown of hers. I was just scouting for words to tell her that she was getting it all messed up, I was not on the sunny side while forgetting about her, when Rose entered.

“Here, up but on check for fits. I will need to fix it by today. You will need it for tomorrow’s party. ” Rose said, throwing the bag on my lap as Sarah watched.

“What’s this? ” I pulled out the neon dress and looked at it, astonished.

” The dress that you will be wearing tomorrow. For the party. That’s Boss’s order. ”

Rose repeated herself through gritted teeth and syllables.

” Ryan? He wants me to wear this for a party? Where is he ? Why didn’t he tell me so? ”

I have yet to see or hear from him since he vanished.

” Oh no! Not him ” Rose said.

” Then who? ” I asked, curious as Sarah too, looked curiously on.

” His father. You will have to leave with me in the morning, tomorrow and one more thing… ”

Rose added, ” Ryan cannot know about the details. That will be your job.”

I could not wrap my head around the fact that the house was turning into a circus.

Now where did Ryan’s father come from in this picture suddenly? And why was he sending me a dress and wanted me to attend a party, without informing Ryan?

Before I could ask, Rose went behind Sarah and with a sudden leap held her down. I jumped up on my feet as Sarah looked at me, scared.

” What’s wrong with you woman? Let Sarah go! ”

I grabbed her hands and tried pulling them apart. But she was too strong and God, she had skills.

She moved like I was watching some action movie flick. She grabbed both my hands in one of her hands and sat over Sarah in such a manner that she could possibly not get enough air.

It immediately took a step back.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Sarah stood up as well and I retracted.

Then she pulled Sarah up by the back off her collar.

” I will be taking this one as leverage. You need to do exactly as you are told. If there is any mistake , this will be the last time that you will be seeing your friend. ”

She left with Rose from the back door.

I knew I had to live and to live I had to return to normal and stop sulking. I took a deep breath as I put the dress on. It had a very deep back and hugged my curves on every spot. I looked at the sunny sky outside and told myself that it was going to be a good day today. I was feeling daring so decided to put some makeup on. I carefully applied a bold red lipstick and smoky eye shadow, making sure every detail was just perfect even though that was not mentioned. Then I slipped into a pair of heels that too had arrived last night.

I stopped in front of the mirror to take one last look and then strutted out of my room like a queen ready to conquer her kingdom.

Ryan and his boys were already sitting around on the chairs in the hall when I came out. I have not seen or heard from them since yesterday. Neither was Bellow back. Which was unusual.

As soon as the boys caught a glimpse of me, their jaws dropped so low, I could hear them hit the floor. Ryan, Beck, and Josh were all staring at me, trying to find their words, but failing miserably. I decided to help them out a bit.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” I teased, striking a pose. “You boys look like you’ve never seen someone wear neon before.”

Beck finally found his voice. “I’ve seen neon before, but never worn it quite like that,” he said. Ryan said nothing. I could tell he wasn’t impressed. “Ummm, Sherry, good morning. Did you sleep well? Ummm, what’s with the makeup? You… you look different,” he said, with a confused expression. Very unlike his natural demeanor.

I tried to play it off with a flirty smile. “Oh, just trying something new for you, all. Do you like it?” I asked, hoping he would change his opinion and I would be able to slip out without having to explain myself to him.

But deep down somewhere behind my make up was that wanting, that desire which begged him to understand. Which begged him to save me from this mess.

” You look like you are going to a party… ” His voice seemed very light and hushed.

I grinned, “That’s exactly what I had in mind. So, who’s ready to have some fun? Life is good when you’re dressed to kill. May be I would get some prey as well. ”

They looked too stunned to speak. And I had no idea why I was going so overboard with my casual acting.

Finally Ryan stood up and headed my way,

” Okay, where do you want to go, tell me. I will take you there. ”

I stumbled over my heels as I fell over his arms.

He caught me alright but my panic alarm was already set off.

I had already messed up big time.

I did everything I was not supposed to have done and that was just the beginning.

I gulped hard.

” Oh no Ryan, thanks. I don’t need it. Rose and I are going out. No boys allowed. Ummm, like, you know, just a girls night… I mean girls day out… No parties nothing of that sort. ”

It felt like I had been summoned at the principal’s office like in back school and was about to be expelled with an ultimate warning.
