Check Mate
Chapter two
Wherever you go, just always remember
That you got a home for now and forever
And if you get low, just call me whenever
This is my oath to you
Wherever you go, just always remember
You're never alone, we're birds of a feather
And we'll never change, no matter the weather
This is my oath to you
I know I drive you crazy, hmm, sometimes
I know I call you lazy, and that's most times
But you complete me, and that's no lie
You are my tuxedo, and I'm your bow tie
We in the car, sing, sing, singing our song
Rocking the building, tear it down, like we king kong
And in my eyes, you can do, do no wrong
You got a best friend sing, sing along

I sat down the screwdriver admiring my work. I had just finished putting in my new lock. It took a hour just to figure out the instructions, that read it should only take approximately ten minutes. Yeah, like any kind of instructions actually made sense.
"Thanks for the help." I looked over to a passed out Mariah who was at the moment sprawled out on my grey couch. My stomach gave a low rumble as a hand landed on my stomach remembering I left this morning without breakfast.
Walking towards the kitchen I grabbed what little bread and peanut butter I had left on my top shelf barely reaching. Turning my oven on as I placed two slices of bread unto the rack, I quickly grabbed a banana and peeled it. Peering inside the glass at the browning of the bread I carefully pulled them out and sat them on my glass plate. Picking up the butter knife I had laid aside I scooped up some peanut butter and lightly spread the smooth creamy butter.
Licking the extra peanut butter off the knife I then began to slice up the banana and put each slice in a four by four patterned on each slice of bread. My eyes looked down hungerly at my masterpiece.
Grabbing my plate and walking towards my couch that Mariah was on, I sat on her as if she didn't exist. Enjoying my meal as she gave a stir before she realized what was happening. I gave a slight giggle while munching away.
"Damn woman!" I heard her yell underneath me as she shoved me off not before I took in the last bite of my sandwich quickly. My butt hit the floor as she sat up looking down at me yawning. Her eyes landed on my empty plate then to my overstuffed mouth "watcha eating?"
I gulped down what was in my mouth "food." I answered her. She laughed at my obvious answer while she got up and gave a stretch. Her eyes landed on the finished lock "whoa...you actually could understand those instructions?"
I nodded "only took an hour." She quickly grabbed her phone while her eyes grew big as she looked at her phone. I gave her a questioning look.
"It is already four o'clock?" she pratically asked a question she already knew. "Uhh yeah?" I said as if it was no big thing.
She looked at me before showing me a big toothy smile that only meant she was about to beg for something. I rolled my eyes "what is it now?"
Mariah gave a cheeky grin as she spoke "okay, so you know how that hot ass guy dropped me off last night?" she waited for me to show any signs of interest. I made my eyes perk up just for her to go on.
"Well we might of not had sex but he did ask me out! And me being me, I was all go for it. He told me to meet him back at Dark Moon and told me to bring a friend of my liking." she eyed me nervously at the last part.
I shook my head before she could go on. Already visioning myself going to a bar and getting drunk and possibly getting rape was not on my bucket list.
"Come on! I will promise you will have fun, besides I will not let you get drunk. I will even get us both home safe in my car. I will only drink one glass." she pleaded while I rolled my eyes.
As if I even drinked.
I looked down trying to decide as she moved her feet back and forth impatiently waiting for my answer. I had nothing to wear that was appropriate for a bar unless a gaming shirt was what they wore now days but I highly doubt it. Besides Dark Moon was far more sophisticated then what a regular bar was.
"I don't know." I spoke as my fingers played with the hem of my shirt. She gave me puppy eyes as she eyed my outfit before putting it together. She quickly ran to my bedroom leaving me behind.
I heard a bunch of my clothes landing on my floor "uh ha! Woola!" she shouted as she came back out with my red prom dress I had worn last year when I was in high school. I gave her a odd look wondering why she had my prom dress.
She quickly spun around running towards the kitchen searching for a sertain object. I heard a cabinet shut as she came back out walking with a pair of scissors. I gasped from the feeling of what she was stupidly about to do.
Before I could eject a no, she had already sliced the scissors into the silky fabric cutting off half the dress. I covered my eyes, hiding the sight of the mad woman infront of me as if she was creating a New York masterpiece.
"It is finished!" she announced pushing the dress into my arms. I looked down at the once long dress now only half its size. She gave a sigh as she stood impatiently waiting for me to try it on. I made my way towards my bathroom and stripped down from my clothes that I was wearing. Pulling the silk over my body I felt the coolness of it wrap around me sending chills down my arms.
My eyes glanced at my image in my mirror. The reflection showed a whole different me who was dressed in something I would never wear. I gulped.
The dress hugged all my curves perfectly and I could not deny. Somehow Mariah had made it look good. I turned to look at my back and gasped as she had made a low cut so that half of my back was showing.
"You like it?" Mariah asked as she barged in and gave a cry. "My God..you look fucking hot!" I grimaced as I was trying to stay as far from that look. Her hands started fixing little things on my dress as she gave off the biggest smile.
I eyed her outfit noticing she was still wearing the outfit I had made her change to earlier. "I know what you are thinking and I have got it covered." she said as she stepped back to admire her work.
"Now go do something with your make-up." as she walked away towards my bedroom leaving me alone. I once again turned around to face myself in my mirror. I wasn't going to lie, I looked amazing. I glanced at my face trying to figure what kind of make-up style I was suppose to do.
Grabbing eyeliner from my vanity, I lightly outlined each of my eyes. I then grabbed a light shade of grey eye shadow and made a smokey look. Adding mascara to my eyelashes made my eyes even better. I stared back at myself admiring my work. I wasn't use to this side of me but I kinda liked it.
Mariah's reflection was in my mirror making a small yelp from me. "Whoa..you look super good. You should start wearing make-up more often." I did not know how to respond to that. Heck, I did not even know if it was a compliment or a message she was trying to send.
"You ready?" I decided to ask eyeing her dress she had worn last night but with a few changes. She gave me a duh look and glanced at my feet. She walked towards my closet grabbing a pair of black heels as she shoved them to me. I quickly put them on stumbling as I tried to walk in them. No wonder I had never worn them. She gave of a laugh watching me walk.
I got better after a few strides before she grabbed my hand and we both made our way out of my apartment.
I stopped realizing something..how were we supposed to get their? Her car was still at the lot and we did not call a taxi ahead of time.
My mind came back to reality when Mariah was texting someone on her phone as a black Ferrari stopped infront of us. I stepped back with fear as Mariah grabbed my hand and opened up the door as she talked to the driver that I couldn't see. She quickly got in as she pulled me in with her as if I was alright with this.
I didn't budge.
"It's all cool." Mariah finally spoke noticing my nervousness. "He was able to pick us up." she eyed the driver who was blocked from my vision because of the opened door. "Who?" I asked confused. She laughed as if I was stupid. "The guy from last night." she answered.
"Don't worry, I do not bite." I could hear a muscular voice softly speak. I peered down and looked inside at the driver who had spoken. My eyes tried to make out his image in the very little light that was on him. I noticed his muscles as he clutched the steering wheel as I felt his heavy stair on me. I gulped trying to figure out if this man was safe.
I felt Mariah's hand on mine as I could feel her pull me in without my consult. I mean he did bring her back safely last night I tried to tell myself to feel better as I heard Mariah strap her seatbelt on. I quickly decided to go along as I closed the door and peered up to the review mirror looking back at a set of golden brown eyes.
They were beautiful.
"Can we go now?" Mariah asked impatiently as I had already wasted time from my act earlier. "No." we could both hear from the front seat. My heart started beating frantically already knowing this was a horrible decision. The man turned around meeting my eyes with a small smirk as if he could hear my frantic heart "we can not go without your seatbelt on." I let out a small sigh of relief.
I quickly put on my seatbelt as a clicking noise made sure I was buckled up. "Good. I do not want you getting hurt." I heard before the car started driving.
Mariah gave me a beaming smile "I told you he is hot." she whispered to me after a few minutes. I still haven't gotten a good look at him so I only nodded to shut her up. My eyes flickered back up at the review mirror catching his eyes as I saw a crease as if he was smiling. I shook my head lightly looking out the window as we all three sat in the car quietly.
The car stopped as I looked up to the tall building that had music vibrating out and hundreds of people walking in and out. Some you could see were really drunk as they stumbled out not giving a care of the world that surrounded them. My eyes landed on a sign reading, Dark Moon.
"Welcome to the dark side." Mariah playfully elbowed me with a welcome.
That you got a home for now and forever
And if you get low, just call me whenever
This is my oath to you
Wherever you go, just always remember
You're never alone, we're birds of a feather
And we'll never change, no matter the weather
