Tara was dressed in long purple dress with slightly split by the back. She was walking around watching the movement of the Blings. She had a strong feeling that the adults were planning something huge. She rounded that spot more than three times and Jeremy noticed her.
" Hey" Jeremy said approaching her
Jeremy was a well built and handsome guy. His dark champagne gold hair was matching with his suit, which was also champagne gold but with touch of black.
" You" she said
" We meet again" he said
" What are you doing here?" She asked
" I should be asking you that, you've been rounding this particular spot for hours now" he said
" Well, I'm just admiring the decorations" she said
" It's nice" he said
" Yeah, it is. So what are you doing here?, around the Blings" she asked
" Same reason you're here, admiring the decorations" he said
" Fair" she said
" Here" he said taking two cups of wine from the serving tray and gave one to her
" I think I had enough wine for tonight already" she said refusing it
" Just one, for my sake " he said
" No" she said moving forward.
He dropped the two cups on the table and followed her.
" Hey"
" What is it?"
" You going already?"
" No, just want to stroll around?"
" I'll join you then"
" No, thank you"
" Are you always this firm?"
" What do you mean by that?"
" I mean, you're like a brick wall"
" To some people"
" Come on, I just want to be your friend that's all"
" What if I say no?"
" Come, let me show you something" he said dragging her along
" Hey, where are you taking me?" She asked as he took her upstairs
" Just hold on, we'll get there soon" he said
They got to the balcony, they could see the stars in the sky, the cool breeze blowing her hair.
" It's beautiful" she said staring at the sky
" Yes, very beautiful" he said looking at her
" Just like you" he said and she faced him
" Flirting?" She asked
"No, just complimenting you as a friend" he said
" Well, I never accepted your friendship proposal so we aren't friends yet" she said and he smiled
" Why are you smiling?" She asked
" I'll take that as an assurance" he said
" Huh?"
" You said yet, which means we will soon be friends" he said and she smiled
" You never give up, do you?"
" Nope, I won't. I know you'll acknowledge me as your friend one day" he said and she smiled
" You wish" she said leaving
" That's another assurance, you smiled" he said going after her.
Tara went to meet conner who was in a corner stuffing his mouth.
" Seriously?"she asked sitting with him
" You know how I can't get to eat this, except once in a year" Connor said and Tara laughed
" Yeah yeah" she said
" So, what's going on with you and the gold hair kid?" Connor asked and she turned to look at Jeremy who was with Alexandria and he smiled at her but she looked away
" Nothing, he's just annoying"
" Really, I saw you two leave" he said
" Yeah, we went upstairs to check the stars"she said
" That doesn't sound annoying to me" he said
" Stop sounding jealous" she said
" Me?, jealous?, you wish" he said about to take another boy but she quickly ate it from his hand
" You, i'll not spare you" he said and they started fooling around with the food
" So you gonna tell her yet?" Alex asked Jeremy they watch Tara and Connor play
" Not yet, it's not the right time" he said
" Jerry, you have to tell her" Alex said
" If I tell her now, she won't want anything to do with me. We both heard the way she was badmouthing the Blings that day, she hates us" he said
" You guys, not me" she said
" Funny" he said
" Yeah, I can understand her. You know I also hated you guys at first, I hated you so much till I got to know you" she said
" That's what I'm trying to do, I want her to know me before I tell her I'm a Bling" he said
" Shell found out sooner or later, the only reason she hadn't recognize you is because most people knows you as Jeremy not Jere and your face is not as popular as your name" she said
" I know Alex, stop staying the obvious" he said
" I feel you should tell her now, and then let her know you for who you are. You want to start your friendship based on lies" she said
" I'm not telling her now because if I do they won't even be any friendship" he said
" You know, the day you met her that she was making a debate against the Blings and then you were tackling all her points, and she was replying you with the same energy you were given out ... I just knew you will later like her" she said
" You saying this cause you like her as well" he said
" Nah, she's not my type" Alex said and they both laughed
" Stop acting like you're into girls, we both know you aren't. You just dress and act like a guy, that's all" he said
" I have two hot elder brothers and a useless former gangster father, what were you expecting?" She said
" True. But on a serious note, I'm so in love with this outfit. I might steal it if you aren't careful" he said
" Like you don't have enough clothes" she said
Alex had a short black hair that is always rolled up at the back and dropping a bit to her neck. She wore a black hat, long black silk coat and trouser with heel boot and shades.
" There you are" Tomika said approaching them
Tomika was a bit dark but brown skin, she was lighter than her sister. Her hair was mixture of dark brown and black, it was long and wavy. She was always packing it into two and leaving two strands in the front, but she let it down and wore a gold long silk dress, with net sleeves and a long split by the side.q
" What's up girl?" Alex asked
" I'm stressed out, they need to give me a break" she said sitting in the chair between them facing the table making them turn as well and sat.
" I saw you trying your best not to break down with that fake smile you were showing around" Jeremy said
" Seriously, I'm so tired of this lifestyle" Tomika said taking off her heels
" You could have just waited till you got into the car" Alex said
" I can't, I've been tortured enough" she said drinking a cup of wine
" You know sometimes I just feel like I shouldn't have been born into this Richard family. My mum couldn't stop introducing me to this person and that person. My legs are hurting after two hours of standing" she said
" Your lips should hurt more, with the hours of fake smiling" Alex said
" Yea yeah, enough about me. What about you two?" She asked
" I'm good, just being unnoticeable" Jeremy said
" Lucky you" she said
" I would have said the same for myself but.. looks like all eyes are on me" Alex said
" With that will Smith outfit you putting on, of course people will look at you" she said
" I'm planning on stealing it" Jeremy said
" You have enough cloth already" she said
" I said the same" Alex said
" So what were you going doing without me, what did I miss?" She asked
" Well, we were talking about Jeremy new crush" Alex said gesturing her to look at Tara
Tomika turned towards Tara side and they all turned as well
" She's pretty" Tomika said
" Mika, she is my crush" Jeremy said
" Well, she's also mine from now on?" She said
" Still can't believe you are the gay one out of two of us" Alex said and Mika gave her a death glare
" Just stating fact" Alex said
" I'm going to introduce myself" Tomika said about to get up
" No no" Alex and Jeremy said in unison pushing her back on the chair
" What's up?" She asked confused
" You can't introduce yourself as you" Jeremy said
" Huh?"
" He didn't tell her he was a Bling because she hates all Blings, so if you introduce yourself as you she will definitely figure out you both are Blings" Alex said
" Ohhhh, well I get why she hates us. If I'm not a Bling myself, I would have hated anyone who was a Bling. So I guess I'll introduce myself another day when I'm not dressed like a Bling" Tomika said
" Yeah, that would be so much better" Jeremy said
" You have good taste, Jer" Tomika said to him before turning back to the table and they did the same
" I know" Jeremy said
" Sometimes I wish I could just rebel like my sister does, she just left for the party. But here I, am stuck here with these boring old people" Mika said
" Party?" Alex asked
" Yeah, there's a party by the lake for the high school kids" Jeremy said
" We middle school kids don't get to go to parties" Tomika sad
" That's because they isn't any party thrown here" Alex said
" What are you suggesting?, that we should throw a party " Tomika said
" I never said that but that's a good idea" Alex said
" It's not that easier, we have to be old enough to book a place for the party" Jeremy said
" That won't be necessary, we could have a house party" Tomika said
" That's true, we can just use one of you guys house" Alex said sarcastically
" It's not necessary it has to be a house" Tomika said
" Where are you heading to?" Jeremy asked
" How about a penthouse?" Alex asked
" Yeah, we can use the Smiths old penthouse. No one has been there for ages now" Tomika said
" Drinks?"
" What about it?"
" What's a party without drinks"
" He's right"
" We all know we are underage to be sold drinks, so let's just forget it"
" Come on, you don't need to worry about drinks when I'm here. We'll just sneak into my dad's garage and take three creates of them" Alex said
" I'm in" Tomika said
"Jerry, what do you say?" Alex asked
" I don't know" he sad
" You're always such a coward, no wonder you had to lie about your identity" Tomika said
" Wow, that hits good" Alex said
" Fine, I'm in" he said
" That's what I'm talking about" Tomika said
