Darkest Desires

Chapter 2 -Aurora

I can feel it in my bones, I aced that test. A smirk falls on my lip at the thought, "argh, I can feel I'm gonna fail that crappy test" Molly mumbles walking besides me.

She's been the one constant in my life. We've been friends since high school. So she's also the only form of normalcy in my life. She's the only person in this world who knows my life in and out, including my extra curricular activities, but she's never judged me.

As much of a princess she is. We're the definition of polar opposites, in our looks alone. Where she's got long, bone straight blonde hair, blue eyes ,with pale skin, and a slim figure to match partnered with her constant need to wear pink, you'd swear she's the human embodiment of barbie.

Then I've got shoulder lengths brown curls, with green/hazel eyes and golden honey skin with a slim thick body to match partnered with my own constant need to almost always wear black. Yeah we're definitely polar opposites, but we work.

"You always say that and end up passing the damn thing" I retort, she smiles, "true, hey you working tonight". I look at my chipper friends and roll my eyes as a response because she already knows the answer to her question, "you know one day, those eyes are gonna fall out of their sockets with how much you roll them"  I smile at her fighting back the urge to roll my eyes again.

"But you know I have work, it's a freaking Friday...and the boss is coming in tonight, so I definitely have to be on my 'A game'" I say the last part mimicking Ric's whiny voice.

"Ooh the big bad wolf is in town" Molly bubbles. "You're going to his house?" She stops, worry laced in her voice. I comfort her immediately, "no ,no Mols, he's coming to the club, but don't worry. I plan on staying away from him, as far as those 9 inch heels can keep me"

She relaxes and we go back to walking to our place. Molly's much a part of this world as I am, actually even more, seeing that her grandfather was the right hand man to the Don back then. Her father however was the black sheep of her family, he decided to be a doctor and marry an American woman.

The mafia didn't take that well and shunned him out. They actually should have done worse. But since his dad was the right hand, the Don let him go Scott free. "Well.... At least come out with us for drinks before your shift, just an hour"

I sigh and as if she can feel the 'no' coming, she adds, "drinks are on me, you don't have to be there until 10, and I promise I'll drop you off personally", I hesitate, "I'll let you drive", I smile , she knows how to convince me, "as fast as I want?" I ask. She narrows her eyes at me, waiting for me to change my request. I don't. She sighs in defeat, "fine, but I swear one day you'll get us killed with the way you drive"

We both laugh and I shrug, "seems like a good way to go to me."

I should've known something was off the moment she agreed to me driving her Audi R8. Now I see why as I sit here on the other side of the table. This is a double date. I'm gonna kill her.

"You know I've had a crush on you since freshman year, I still remember the first day I met you. You had this 'don't fuck with me' exterior, you still do.. No guy could even get past small talk when it came to you" I roll my eyes at Matt, "& yet here we are..." I mumble, taking another shot from the table. It's my third and I probably shouldn't take more, but man this guy annoys me.

I eye the flowers he got me and hide the look of disgust that's fighting its way through. Molly nudges me and gives me a look of be nice before she goes back to her date. I sigh and put on my fakest smile, she owes me big time for this. I entertained Matt for the night and kept the drinks coming.

He's nice and cute I guess, but I hate guys like this. All prim and proper, trust fund babies. They don't know what it's like to have to sacrifice food for some days just so your tuition money can add up. Honestly if it weren't for Molly, I'd probably be homeless or living in a ditch somewhere. She let me live with her for free at her two bedroom apartment and she insists I eat her food, but I always refuse. I already feel like a charity case enough. I do help with other expenses like the cable and electric bill. Stripping makes me money, don't get me wrong, but the club takes half, which is daylight robbery, and law school is fucking expensive. I'd make so much more by sleeping with these men, but I'd rather jump off a bridge. Having Ric inside of me is torture enough.
