Chapter 27: Not The Same Girl Who Left
1080words
She is in for a treat because her Sapphire definitely packed a lot of sass from Gisborne.
She took some steps back to follow the beats of the song but bumped into someone, she turned to look at the person and bitched at them but paused when she saw that it was that hot guy she saw in the garden with Alexander when they had that breakfast.
She remembered that cripple calling him Andrew.
She opened and closed her mouth, she was speechless, the approach she had planned seemed so useless now.
"Sorry for that, I wasn't looking where I was going," The guy apologized, he is a gentleman.
"It takes two to tangle, it is both of our faults, sorry" she said after regaining her sense of speech. "I am Melissa,"
"You can't be the famous Melissa or are you?"
"In her flesh and blood, am that Melissa,"
"Then you are Sapphire's sister,"
"Yes I am,"
"Alexander's cousin," he said and took a sip, " at least one of them," he said and they both chuckled.
"I have to give it to your cousin who made this decorations and did all these,"
"If there's anything that I can give to Audrey, it is her taste in things, she makes really good ones," Andrew said smiling and raised his glass to the south.
"There she goes," he said and Melissa looked at the direction and saw that it was the lady who she was talking to the other day before cripple and her dog came.
So her name is Audrey and she's another cousin of Alexander.
They clicked so much _ her and the lady, their connection just goes.
"Andrew," someone said behind them and they both turned.
Standing behind them was Alicia and that crippled girl who insulted her the other day and Melissa couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Talk about the devil and he shall appear.
And it got even worse when Andrew's entire face lit up when he sighted the girls, it is obvious to even a blind man that he likes them, they were probably his favorite.
Alicia and the other girl looked at Melissa briefly and turned to Andrew
"Alyssa wanted to show you something," Alicia said, smiling at Andrew.
"Yes, I feel like I should show you instead of tell," Alyssa said putting on the innocent face but Melissa saw it for what it was _ a ploy to get Andrew away from her side _ and so far they were succeeding.
"Uhm," Andrew said and turned to Melissa. "If you would excuse me, the girls need me," he said like a gentleman.
"Of course, I enjoyed the conversation, I hope we will see more of each other," she said coolly and Alyssa rolled her eyes.
They all turned and Alicia engaged Andrew in a conversation, she kept staring at them and her eyes came in contact with Alyssa's when she turned her head before the girl smirked at her, and mouthed the word ‘whore' thereby confirming her suspicion that they didn't really have anything to show Andrew.
Melissa turned her head to where Heather was standing and noticed that her face was red with anger, Oliver looked like a kicked puppy and Sapphire had a smug look as she roasted the couple with words.
She was beginning to hate that smug look so she made her way to wipe it off Sapphire's face.

Heather continued staring at Sapphire who was just looking in another direction.
"As the fashionista they used to call you, don't you think my engagement ring looks so beautiful, doesn't it look like it was just brought today?" She asked mockingly and that got Sapphire's attention.
She stared at Heather's finger for a while observing the ring and kept mute, she just kept staring at it for a while before she smiled before she started chuckling, staring at her finger like it was the joke of the century.
'How about making ' that your position as his fiance is secured before you go around flaunting that band,"
'You are just jealous of it,"
'Why would I be? It is not like it is the medal of the century but I get that you are more like me now,"
'Compare us, I am way better than you, you are just an idiot who couldn't stand her ground when she needed to," Heather said and rested her head on Oliver's arm, Sapphire stared at it and smirked.
'I was engaged to Oliver for two years and you are also engaged for two years now, you go around flaunting the ring that he used to cage you to the world while the man appeared single because there is no ring on his finger, how stupid could you be?"
Heather stared at Oliver's finger and didn't see any ring, she stared at his face and he looked away, she gave him a glare that means they would talk about it when they get home.
'Are you busy checking him out that you also noticed the smallest of things, things that should be unnoticeable?" Heather asked, turning the topic back to Sapphire.
'Pathetic, I didn't even look at his finger, I just knew because that is what he did to me and despite what you think, you are not special, not in the slightest." Sapphire said and took a drink from the waiter that was carrying it around. She was enjoying this, she just wondered why she waited three years to do it.
She was solely on Heather's case; she knew that her conversation with Oliver had to be personal, so that they could deal with every little thing he did wrong.
The man was a wuss, he wouldn't defend the person he is with, no matter who is insulting them, she knew all this because she went through it. Even when her whole family gang up on her, the idiot may even support them.
'That ring is not a guarantee that Oliver would not take another babe and you are supposed to know that the most because you got him when he was still an engaged man. It would even be easier to cheat on you," Sapphire said and Heather moved to her and slapped her on the cheeks.
'You bitch ," Heather cursed and Sapphire raised her head and slapped her twice.
