The Perfect War Story……. - Chapter 83

The girl’s room did not even look it belonged to a girl. The room was painted entirely in sky blue color, with extremely simple interior. In one corner near the window was situated a gigantic mahogany bed. In the other corner was placed a gigantic wooden book shelf, which had all sorts of black, red and white law books. Near the book shelf was placed a large comfortable seat. Next to the seat was situated a large fireplace on top the fireplace the girl had neatly decorated all the family pictures.

The pictures were of the time when they still were a happy family and her parents loved each other. That was the only happy time in her life and what she always wanted to remember. After four years of age Linda never treasured any photo because they never seemed truly happy after that time.

Besides the book shelf was placed a large study, on which Linda usually worked late at nights after coming back from the office. Her room was attached to a large balcony on which she had created a beautiful terrace garden full of flowers and a small coffee table. Whenever she missed her dad or was really unhappy about something, she would spend hours on this balcony, sipping her coffee and looking at the busy road ahead. There was no single soft toy or any hint of pink or red in her room which was pretty unusual for a girl. But this is who Linda, was!

The girl’s face was still under the comforter and she was in no hurry to get up. Suddenly everything from the previous night started to flashback in her mind and she quickly straightened her back with a loud gasp, not even caring about the sunlight anymore. She pressed her head a bit feeling immense headache when suddenly the door to her room was thrown open and her overly excited mother came walking towards her with a glass of fresh mint and lemon juice. “Good morning sweetheart!”

“Good morning mother.” Linda spoke up sleepily, holding the glass of fresh juice in her hand. The next second she had already chugged down the entire liquid, making her feel much better already. “Thanks mum. This makes me feel really better.” She smiled placing the glass at the bed side. “You look mighty happy today. Something happened?”

“Ah, yes. Look.” The lady was holding five white colored paper bags in her hand and was dancing happily looking at Linda. Linda had not noticed earlier and then immediately slapped her forehead looking at the bags with ‘GUCCI’ written on them. “Not now mother. Please.”

“Stay right their young lady. These were delivered to me this morning. They are all special collections. I ordered one for you too.” She quickly took out a beautiful white colored dress and handed it over to Linda. “Wear this today.”

“What? To the office? You must be kidding right.” Linda rolled her eyes looking at her mother who was now already taking out other dresses from the bags that she had ordered for herself. “Ooohh they are just perfect.” She took out three dressed and one beautiful clutch from the bags. “You know I have a charity ball to attend today. Wait till they see me wearing this. They will all die in jealousy.” Sana laughed happily once again dancing in excitement.

“A Gucci dress to a charity event? You are kidding again right.” Linda sighed a she realised her mother was not kidding.

“Oh sweetie you are a lawyer but you still are so naive. This is just a namesake charity ball. It is more of a page three event. There will be press and all other high profile reporters. And there will be handsome men too.” She smiled looking at Linda.

“Do whatever you want to do mother. This dress is beautiful but, I am not wearing it to the office.”Linda could once again could feel a headache coming through.

“Ok then make a rich boyfriend.” Her mother snapped back placing her hands on her waist.

Fine, fine. I will wear the dress.”  She caught hold of the dress and nodded her head in a ‘yes’.

“Good my dear. Just wait and let some rich client see you in this dress. He will fall for you instantly.” She clapped her hands and walked out of the room happily. “See you at the breakfast table.” She shouted as she slammed the door behind her going out of Linda’s room.

Lind had yet not checked the phone which was placed on her bed side and straight away went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a shower. In just another few minutes the girl was already blow drying her hair and was thinking about yesterday night. She could now remember everything clearly and even how Austin hugged her lovingly after having sėx with her. He was even courteous enough to offer her a smoothie and dropped her to her house. In fact she was feeling bad at how rude she had behaved with him as if she always slept around with guys casually. He even confessed his love for her and how he always liked her from past five years.

The truth was that she did find Austin attractive and she was highly drunk so she could not control herself. The only person she had slept with before was her boyfriend but they broke up after several months of relationship. “Maybe I should apologise to him. But who cares as if I am going to see him again. But what if we meet again in the court room! Jeez! How awkward it will be. But why did he say he loved me? Maybe that is what all guys say while making out.” She looked at her face in the mirror blow drying her hair. “Wait! Did he use a protection??!!”
