2. A Important Meeting

“Ahhhh!!!” Rose bolted upright as she screamed. Clutching her sheets in her arms as she calmed her breathing. Only a dream Rose, only a dream. The sun krept past her certains as she layed down again.

Her eyes started slowly closing. She was exhausted. Wait, I’m forgetting something. WORK!! The thought flashed past her mind as she sit upright. She’d grab her phone. Oh hell, it’s already 8am!! Rose leaped our of her bed and rushed to her bathroom. She quickly hopped into the shower. After she was finished showering she climbed out and dried herself with a towel, leaving her hair wet. She quickly brushed her teeth and went back to her room. Rose grabbed her yellow skirt and a white shirt. Tucking the shirt under her skirt she quickly walked back to the bathroom. Putting on some lipstick and eyeliner she rushed back to her room getting her hairbrush and throwing it in her handbag. She rushed into the living room. With a bag in one hand she open the door with the other. The morning aroma hit her face like a tennis racket. Focus on getting to work Rose!! She locked her door and rushed down to the road. Where’s the taxi?? She sighed. Better walk then. As she ran through the park she noticed a lot of people glancing at her like she’s a lunatic or something. Clearly her wavy orange brown hair was messy as hell today. She continued to run and she past her favorite coffee shop and a smile crept up on her lips. Almost there. The sun was already dancing on the glass windows as she walked into her work building. She’d press the button ear the elevator and it opened.

She walked in and immediately the elevator took off. It took her to the 6th floor. She walked into her work area. “Good Morning girl!!” Juri shouted behind her desk. “Morning Juri.” She answered. Juri is one of her best friends and she loves getting attention, she’s funny and also pretty. Rose walked to her desk as she sat down she noticed that a lot of people weren’t there. “Stephanie, where’s everyone?” She asked as she looked at Stephanie. Stephanie was sassy, brave and organized person. Rose was very different from her friends she worried about what others thought of her, she was reckless, a bit introverted and not as beautiful or pretty as her friends. Stephanie had black straight hair with a dark skin color and she was absolutely beautiful!! She was also one of her close friends.

“Oh. They are at a important meeting with a higher company. They want to join together, but anyway good morning to you to.” Stephanie chuckled. “Oh sorry! Good morning Steph.” She’d apologize. “Shouldn’t we be there?” Juri said standing next to her chair. “Probably.” Stephanie said while her keyboard clicked under her fingers. Rose sighed. “Oh and by the way. Why is your hair so messy and wet today Rose?” They both asked. “I was late so I packed my hairbrush with me and didn’t get the chance to brush it...” Stephanie and Juri stared to laugh. “It’s not funny!!” She said while walking to the bathroom near the elevator. “Oh yes it is.” She heard them chuckle while she opened the door revealing the clean bathroom.

After brushing her hair she walked out and was surprised to see her two friend packing up their suitcases. “Did I miss something?” Rose asked as she glanced around. “Uhh, yeah you did. Our boss called us and said that the meeting went well. They arranged a celebration party for everyone tonight.”

Juri said happily as she moved to the elevator. Stephanie followed. “Aren’t you coming with Rose?” Stephanie turned around with a smile. “Oh. I don’t know guys.” Juri turned around as well, her mouth was open. Stephanie just shook her head and folded her arms. “They said everyone, including you.” Juri followed Stephanie’s pose, she nodded as well. “Fine...I’ll go. I don’t wanna get introuble.” Rose said as Stephanie laughed walking into the elevator. “Of course you don’t.” Juri said as she entered the elevator as well. Rose followed quickly. Wonder what company is so bold and rich to invite 2 huge companies? The elevator opened and we walked out onto the sidewalk. It was still day. “Okay girls! Let’s get ready at my place.” Juri giggled. Stephanie looked at Juri. “Shouldn’t we get stylish and fancy clothes at the mall first?” “Stephanie that’s brilliant!!” Rose just sighed. “Let’s go girls!!” Juri grabbed Stephanie and Rose and dragged them both to her car. Must be nice being as rich as her. Rose thought as Juri drived to the mall. Stephanie glanced at me. “You okay? You look rather overwhelmed.” Stephanie asked. “Yeah yeah I’m fine.” Rose replied with the widest smile she could manage. The truth was, she wasn’t up for staying out tonight. She was more worried about someone stalking her. “We are here!! Let’s get bying.” Juri jumped out of the car and rushed to the malls entrance. Stephanie hopped out as well as Rose. “So where to first Steph?” She’d ask Stephanie. Juri smiled. “Rose, I thought you never ask!” Stephanie walked past a couple of shops. Juri stopped a couple of times and looked at everything around them.

They entered a shop and immediately Rose was shocked. “G-Guys, I can’t afford this...” She’d say. Juri sighed. “I’ll pay for you then.” Stephanie turned around. “What about me Juri!?” She shouted. “You have money! Now let’s get started.” Juri shouted before running towards a couple of golden and tight dresses. Stephanie glanced at Rose before walking off to some pink sparkling dresses. Rose looked around. She passed a couple of red dresses before spotting a white dress with buffed up sleeves that joined with a red corset. The red corset was invited by a rose red color continuing to flow gracefully down to the ground. This is the dress. She’d carefully pick up the hangers the dress and walked to the counter. Stephanie and Juri already had their outfits and their dresses looked like they were worn by celebrities. “I’m finished.” As she sat down her dress Stephanie and Juri peeked at it. “WoW...” Juri whispered. “It fits you well Rose.” Stephanie said as she payed for her dress. Juri payed for Rose’s and hers. “I’ll pay you back Juri. I just need my months rent and you’ll get it.” Rose smiled and took her dress. “Rose you know she’s not gonna accept it.” Stephanie said as she grabbed her dress and walked to the exist. Rose followed her. “She’s right you know!” Juri shouted as she quickly caught up.

They hopped into the car and Juri quickly drove to her huge apartment. “Okay guys we have 2 hours. So let’s hurry up!” Juri said as she quickly rushed to her apartments door. Stephanie grabbed her own dress and entered Juri’s apartment. Rose grabbed Juri’s dress and with the other hand she’d grabbed her own. When she entered Juri’s apartment she was shocked. This apartment couldn’t get anymore exspensive. Rose made her way to Juri’s room. “Agh!! I left my dress in the car.” Juri shouted furiously. “I have it Juri.” She said as Juri quickly hugged her and grabbed her dress. Juri ran into her bathroom. Stephanie was already finished and busy with her makeup. Rose sat down her bag and took off her clothes. She put on her dress and it showed off her slim waist and stomach. She smiled as she tucked and pulled her hair into a bun. “Juri?” She’d shout. “Yes!? What is it I’m almost finished with my makeup!!” Juri shouted out of the bathroom. “I’m just wondering if I can use your pearl pins for my hair?” Rose shouted waiting for a reply. “Sure Girl! I don’t mind.” The bathroom door opened as Juri walked out. Juri looked stunning and polished up. She looked like a celebrity. Rose finsihed her bun as she put some pearl pins in. She let some curls hang loose from her forehead. “You look stunning Juri.” Juri smiled. “Thank you girl! Want me to do your makeup?” Stephanie turned around and her pink cozy and slim dress was gorgeous. “I’ll help with that as well.” She’d say. “Okay Okay. You both can do my makeup.” Rose said sitting down on the bed. “Stephanie you look beautiful as well!” She’d day as she closed her eyes. Juri turned towards Stephanie. “Yeah she does look good in that flamingo dress of hers.” Stephanie smiled before standing next to Juri and helping her with Rose’s makeup.

“Finished!!” Stephanie and Juri shouted. Rose opened her eyes and smiled at her reflection in the mirror. “Okay let’s go!” Juri said as she glanced at the time.

When Juri locked the apartment she’d jump into the car as they waited. Rose glanced at the window as they started to drive to the party. She saw a car’s lights turn on and following them. It’s like the person in the vechile new that she was watching, because the car’s lights switched off. Strange. Rose thought as her gaze swept to Stephanie eagerly listening to the music on the radio and Juri singing along.
