In My Deceiving Heels [2] OLD VERSION

Chapter Twenty-Eight

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Arianna sang jumping onto me as I slept peacefully.

"What is wrong with you?" I complained, pushing her off of me and onto the floor of the bedroom. Arianna landed with a thud. I looked down at her as she lay on the carpet, a big smile still gracing her beautiful face. "What's going on with you?" I questioned. She giggled.

"I did a whole bunch of research on creative directing and I'm pretty sure I know enough to be the creative director for Vogue!" she declared, not bothering to get up. I laughed at her.

"For how long, exactly, did you do this research for?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I took in her messy hair, her tired, red eyes and coffee stain on the front of her pyjama shirt.

"I didn't sleep." She admitted with a yawn. I shook my head at my sleepy best friend. I got out of the bed and got down onto my knees next to her.

"Maybe you should go to bed now, how about that?" I suggested. She shook her head lazily.

"I'm not tired." She hummed. I chuckled.

"Come on." I helped her to her feet. "If you're not tired then you should be able to lie in bed and chat to me while I look for an outfit for tomorrow's party." Arianna stood up and flopped onto the bed. She sat up and smiled at me.

"I can do that." She mumbled. I rolled my eyes and went to my suitcase, pulling out a random dress.

"How about this one?" It was a little red number that came with a thin gold belt around the waist. I held it up, turning around. I laughed when I saw Arianna passed out on the bed, snoring softly. I chucked the dress back into my suitcase, going over to her to cover her with a blanket.

I left the room, closing the door softly. The bathroom wasn't occupied so going through my morning grooming routine was quick. I exited the bathroom, hungry and heading for the kitchen. As I passed the living room I greeted Alex and Connor who were watching a movie.

I got into the kitchen and found the twins sitting by the island with papers all over the place.

"What are you two doing?" I asked them. I got no reply. Instead of asking again, I took one of the papers.

"What are you doing?!" Alessio exclaimed.

"Dude, no!" AJ cried and buried his face in his hands.

I put the page back so quickly it was like it was on fire.

"Sorry." I whimpered. Alessio sighed heavily.

"We have to start again." AJ mumbled.

"We can't do this alone." Alessio muttered. He stood up. "Where's Arianna?" he started getting ready to leave the kitchen. I grabbed his arm quickly.

"No, no." I stopped him. "She's sleeping." He looked down at me suspiciously.

"Okay, but we need her help." He tried to walk again and I stopped him by clinging to his muscular arm.

"No!" I exclaimed.

"Get off, Kylie!" Alessio bellowed when I held onto his arm and dropped to the floor onto my butt. I knew it was the only way I could actually keep him from moving considering how strong he was.

"I'll help." I smiled hopefully. Alessio raised a questionable eyebrow. He received a toothy smile from me.

"There are some inconsistencies with our arrangements." He started saying. "You help us find and fix the problem and my sister is free to sleep for as long as she wants."

"Deal!" I let go of his arm and stretched my arms up. Alessio rolled his eyes and yanked me to feet with ease. I followed him to island, pulling up a seat next to AJ.
