Moxie (n.) - Courage, nerve, and determination.

Anastasia

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"You'll see," She smirked, pulling my sports bra up.

"See, much perkier." She smiled.

A small groan left my mouth.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes! You need it."

"Gee thanks." I sigh.

"Do you want to piss him off or not?"

"I do, I-"

"Then let me do it."

"Fine, I trust you." I hesitantly say.

Amara smiled as she fixed the shorts I was wearing. By now you could see half of my ass hanging out.

"Amara, these are really short already."

"Not short enough to get to Vincenzo."

"I'm not sure I wanna do it anymore if I have to look like this.."

"Don't be pathetic Anastasia, you can't stop. Unless of course, you want to be treated like shit for the rest of your life."

"Amara,"

"Anastasia, you and I both know he won't stop until he breaks you. And when he says break you, he means it literally."

"I know, I just-"

"Exactly, you must dress the part."

I nod softly.

"What am I exactly meant to do when I do see him?"

"Trust me, Ana, you're body will know how to react."

"I'm not so sure."

"Don't you trust me?"

"I do, I just-"

"Then let me deal with it."

"Okay."

Amara grabbed my hand leading me through countless hallways till we met two doors.

"They're already in there?" I ask.

"Yeah, we're late. That's the first step to getting to him. He can't handle not being as scheduled."

"Let's go in then."

"After you," She smiled, gently tapping my ass.

Hesitantly, I push the heavy door out of the way being welcomed into the large room by many eyes. Including a very pissed-off pair, Vincenzo's.

"You two are late," He spat.

"You think?" I ask, my eyes remaining in his eye contact.

His cold stare shortly turned into a bloody hungry glare.

"Oops," I mumble, leading Amara towards Max.

"Hey," I smile.

He looked at me strangely.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"What's on your neck?"

Instinctively, my hand flung towards my neck only to then remember the purple bruise of Vincenzo's fingers on my neck.

"Oh, uh nothing.." I mumble.

Shit. I completely forgot about it. Amara must have seen it, yet she didn't say anything? That's strange. Why wouldn't she say anything about it? It wasn't like she couldn't have seen it, it was very obvious.
