COLLATERAL CORA

30

Third POV

"Ignore him. Grumpy ass" Iris said as she admired Cora's dress the more.

"God it's a perfect fit."

Cora forced a smile, still feeling bad about East.

"What do you think of mine?" Iris asked

Cora noticed the blue dress Iris is wearing. It is very gorgeous.

"It is very beautiful" Cora said admiring it.

"I know right?" Iris said twirling. "We are taking both of them" she said to the seller.

************************************

Back at East car, East is leaning on it as he light up the cigarette on his mouth. Sucking on it, he pop out smoke.

His thoughts moved.

The red dress was indeed stunning on her.

Again he is reminded of how beautiful collateral is.

He recalled what she said to him about having a boyfriend.

He is still pissed.

How dare she bring him up?

That bastard.

He suck on his cigarette again and pop out smoke and more smoke.

He recalled her in that red dress again.

If it was black, he would have gone crazy. Thankfully it is red.

But it is still very gorgeous.

Perfect for the ball.

Ever since that day she made him angry, he still have her in his mind. He used Mona to distract himself but still he can't stop thinking about collateral.

Her gorgeous body.

Her innocent fear filled eyes.

Big brown eyes.

She just had to remind him of that bastard owing him money.

He shouldn't have anything to do with her.

She is a fucking collateral goddamnit.

A Collateral that is getting to his head. 

Fucking hell.

"Ready to go" Iris sang as her and Cora approached the car with bags on their hands. 

East doesn't spare them a look as he drop his remaining cigarette on the ground and step on. He opened the car door and entered.

Iris and Cora kept the bags in the back seat and Cora entered. Iris entered the front seat.

East hit the road.

The drive was silent with slow music playing.

East sight Cora through the mirror in front.
