My Emotionless Goddess

The following morning, the four Ladies woke up later than usual. It was the weekend after all and only Miranda was known to work on Saturdays. Stacy would at times be forced by circumstances especially Incase of an emergency surgery.

Ava was still lying in bed but her thoughts had drifted to that encounter last night. She felt disturbed by his smirking face.

Yes she had acted on impulse but that is because that man’s closeness brought about a weird feeling. When he leaned towards her, she smelt an enticing fragrance. That scent almost paralyzed her nerves. She had fought hard from sniffing him because that’s what she felt like doing so as to keep her sanity, she chose offence over submission.

” What are you thinking about?” Stacy asked, drawing back her attention from that annoying Man.

” What else, she must be thinking about that handsome hulk she slapped last night.” Lucia said. Among all the three friends, she was the Keen observer and she didn’t need anyone to tell her what their friend was thinking about.

” What? Did you get ensnared? And here I thought only our Miranda got hooked.” Stacy said laughing.

” Stop it you two! it’s not funny besides who said I was hooked? What’s there to be hooked about? it was nothing but a mere kiss, don’t make things look more complicated than they already are.” Miranda reprimanded the two of them sternly. She couldn’t believe they had the audacity to make fun of their predicament.

” Why are you getting all defensive? Are you guilty?” Lucia asked back.

” Am I getting defensive? I just don’t want you making fun of others.” Miranda replied.

” You are no fun!” Lucia said, pouting.

Turning to the ever chatty Ava who had turned quiet all of a sudden, Miranda offered,” Should I look into his background, you would never know who you’ve offended.”

” No need for that, he started it anyway and I am not scared of him.” Ava rejected politely. She would prefer to be kept in the dark than find out she had offended a powerful person.

” Who looks like a scaredy cat.” Lucia said snickering, earning a glare from Miranda.

” What? Did I say something wrong?” Lucia asked upon seeing how Miranda looked at her.

Before Miranda could say anything, the three turned to look at Stacy who squealed loudly throwing away her phone like she was scalded.

” And what drama are you playing? Did someone propose to you online?” Lucia asked sarcastically.

Ignoring the sarcastic remark from Lucia, she was used to it by the way, Stacy picked her phone again, extending it towards the girls whose attention was squarely on her.

” Take a look, Miranda is trending everywhere!” she said half excited, half afraid.

” Who? me?” Miranda asked.

” Let me see,” Lucia said, grabbing the phone to see for herself and lol! She was greeted with the picture of Miranda kissing Justin.

What surprised her most was not the picture but the heading.

” ANOTHER BITCH BY JUSTIN’S SIDE!”

The heading was even highlighted.

The picture was clearly taken, one had to be a professional to take such a clear picture and the angle must have been perfect too.

” Oh no! This is bad!” The ever open-minded Lucia was scared. She was scared for her friend.

She was very much aware of how celebrity fans can be dangerous, afterall their friend Ava belonged to that circle too.

.” What should we do?” Stacy voiced her worries.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

” Are you asking me?” Ava asked, shrugging her shoulders indicating she had no idea of what to do.

” I think we should first ensure that the picture is taken down immediately. This way it can stop circulating.” Lucia reasoned out.

” I don’t think that’s a good idea. If we do that, we will be labelling Miranda as guilty of the accusations.” Ava opposed.

“Then what should we do? I am at my wits end here.” Lucia complained.

” Let’s not panic, nobody has ever seen me as Miranda in public. I always dress like a man when going out so finding out my identity will be hard.” Miranda reasoned out.

” I think Miranda is right, I didn’t know that your weird behaviour of cross dressing will come at hand one day.” Lucia said, heaving a sigh of relief but things were bound to get uglier.

” Oh no! someone just exposed your identity. They have already dug up all the information about you and an article has been released saying that the rumoured bitch is the CEO of Lambert group who likes to dress like men.” Ava announced breaking the relief they had welcomed a moment ago.

” What? but not many people know about that! How is that possible?” Miranda said, losing her footing and almost falling down.

” Someone must have tipped them and it is someone who knows you too well.” Lucia commended.

” But only a handful of people know about my real identity and gender!” Miranda wondered out loud.

” could it be Carlos?” Ava guessed.

” No, I don’t think he will do that to me. He may be an assh**e but he’s definitely not a snitch.” Miranda said in defence of Carlos.

” Even after rejecting you from time to time, you still want to protect him?” Ava asked, agitated. Apart from the three of them, only Carlos knew Miranda as a cross dresser.

” I think Miranda is right, Carlos is anything but a snitch. He will never do anything that can jeopardise Miranda’s safety.

” Then who else could have snitched on us? I swear if I catch him or her, I’ll skin them alive.” Ava swore.

June, who was preparing breakfast for herself after fanning the flames and switching off her phone, sneezed.

” I wonder who among them is cursing me. I know it’s Ava, that woman’s mouth spews curses only.” June said and laughed heartily. She was enjoying this little game of hers.

Yes, June, who happens to be Justin’s Manager, was the one who sent the picture to the media and later revealed the identity of the woman in the picture. Why? I even wanna know.
