Chapter 87: questions, emotions and convictions

questions, emotions and convictions.

I hang up soon enough after sending lots of kisses as much as I could to Simon.

"Someone is in love, uhn", Bianca teases as she brushes her shoulder with mine.

And I know without a doubt that this is her natural character, without any form of disguise or restraints like Laura.

"I know right, it looked like you were going to suck him up through the phone with that much kissing", Laura adds in and I can tell from her tone that she is doesn't feel as resentful as she did earlier which is good enough.

It seems the outburst she had earlier made her feel better.

So there must be a reason and a story.

One I am more than ready to listen to.

But then, we continue to chatter a bit.

"We are close now", Bianca says and I adjust my sitting position.

"Those ladies from earlier, they seem to be regulars here, tell me about them, it looks like we will be running into them a lot more often", Laura says and that is when I am again reminded of what just happened.

But then, I am also quite surprised.

I am suorsuwed because I expected her to come out with an aggressive approach like she had done earlier.

But then, it seems like she knows when to draw the line and even though it looked like she had gone out of control when she was exchanging banters with the other women, she is perfectly in control of them.

There seemed to have been a trigger from earlier.

But now that she is talking and asking bianca questions, and with this approach, I am more then convinced that she is smart and knows just what she is doing.

"Yes, that is right and they are quite regulars. Except they are not coming because they know anything about art, or appreciate it in any way. Rather, it is to maintain their social standing here", Bianca explains and I can swear that she is related to Jesus some way.

This is because her words sound like parables in my ears.

I can't seem to get what exactly she means.

I mean what in the world does art have to do with social standings.

Aren't they two absolutely different things?

I mean for one, art is meant to be a free expression of the passion of one's soul.

Meanwhile those social standing and their requirements are a lot far off.

They are full of restrictions and oppressions..

Rules and regulations that only the worthy can obey.

Rules that once violated would cost the members everything, including the things they achieved before getting blinding by those brazenly crazy and delirious demands.

"What do you mean?", I finally ask to voice my thoughts, after thinking through and through and still not getting the connection between the two.

"Exactly, could it be what I am thinking?", Laura asks and Bianca and her share eye contact, making me feel left out.

But just for a while, because she goes on to explain after wards.

"It has to be exactly just what you are thinking. It is in every country and amongst every wealthy group of people looking for ways to classify themselves and rise in their status", bianca explains and for a moment, my mind goes to Simon's mom.

She made it sound like there was a lot of good impression she had to make for some sort of maintainance in social status.

"I mean there is a different society up there, like the one percent of the one percent which includes ladies and women alike in the highest standings, like the president's mistresses and secret lovers of commissioners and wivea of the mafia.

She explains and I don't need to ask her more questions to understand the reason why there are more mistresses than there are actual wives.

"Sounds interesting", Laura says with a smirk on her face.

She has a glint that I can only relate with mischief laced deeply in her smile that I can't help but furrow my eyebrows.

This lady raises questions.

What in the world have her twenty five years old eyes seen that have made sharpened the look in her eyes and made her so invested in secrecy.

"What's that look, you look like you want to be a part of it", Bianca says after also noticing the gaze in Laura's eyes.

I mean who wouldn't want to know what exactly is going on after seeing the look in her eyes.

She seems startled for a moment, but Laura has maintained her composure again and she turns to Bianca.

"Yes actually, that is what I am thinking of. You mentioned how powerful, advantageous and influential the women in that position get, and that is just what I need", Laura replies.

Her last sentence was strong and heavy that it screamed vengeance.

What in the world is Laura here for anyways?

I am begining to think that her joining this aft competition might just be something to either cover up hasten up a grand scheme.

And even though I know that I have only known her for barely a day.

I can already feel a thrill and excitement from wanting to be a part of it.

I however will not come into contact with any sort of trouble or input myself in one, unless I know it's motive.

Laura at this moment doesn't look like one willing to talk about it.

Plus she still looks like she has a lot more to figure out.

A feeling of companionship is beginning to overwhelm me and I feel like I want to do whatever she wants to involve herself in.

But on just one condition, and that is if she lets me in on everything and this relationship continues on the truth and nothing but the absolute truth.

Which doesn't seem to be achievable just yet.

So until then, when I can find an opening in Laura or make one myself, I will watch and plan

After all, I am just here for the fun and thrill of it.

And for more self discivery which I believe will go well and even better than I had imagined.

"Yes but…", Bianca looks like she has more to say.

Laura however looks satisfied, like she has heard all of the words she wants to hear and it is not time to start action.

But what exactly does she want to start working on.
