Chapter 9

Ariaj and Jessie were walking side by side as they lick the ice cream they bought from the shop earlier. They are now shopping for make up as they made Brian to be their currier by making him bring all the stuffs they bought. Brian on the other hand couldn't believe what he's seeing as the girl in glasses A.K.A the Lazy Nerd is actually a beautiful Maiden behind those thick glasses. Brian was too shocked to complain about the amount of bags he was holding because he couldn't pry his eyes away from Jessie

"You know, I think Brian likes you now" said Ariaj as they look back and saw Brian staring at Jessie without rest

"Don't joke like that. He just saw me like this. Even you! You even told him that I'm your girlfriend" said Jessie which made sense given that this is the first time Ariaj's seeing Jessie looking like this

"Well, that's correct. But if he confesses to you I'm going to punch the life out of him" said Ariaj as Jessie nodded in agreement.

As the two made their way to the make up store, Brian automatically stopped as he saw the pink interior of the store. Brian looked at the two who just chuckled at his actions. Jessie and Ariaj made their way to the make up section as they searched for make ups that will make Jessie stand out more.

"You know I think Red lipstick suits you" said Ariaj as she took a glossy lipstick but Jessie took it and placed it back

"Why? that was a good one" said Ariaj as Jessie shook her head

"No, I don't like glossy make up like that. I think a matte color would suffice" said Jessie to Ariaj as she nodded in agreement

"Yes I think Matte will actually look good on you" said Jessie as they took a matte red from the rack and tried it on.

"See? I told you, now let's take some" said Ariaj and bought all the make up they need. Ariaj and Jessie then went outside to check what is Brian doing and they were surprised to see him hitting on a girl. Jessie looked to her side and saw Ariaj's blood boiling.

She immediately held Ariaj down as she knows that Ariaj won't just watch and keep calm about this.

"Ariaj, you still have a future ahead of you. Don't waste it by killing that girl" said Jessie as she became nervous at Ariaj's stance. She's about to throw fists if it wasn't for Jessie who's holding her down.

Brian heard the commotion and as he looked at the girls inside the store, he gulped as he saw Ariaj's blood boiling. He excused himself and pushed the girl slightly before smiling sheepishly and walking towards Ariaj with his annoying smile

"Ariaj, you didn't tell me that you're here already" said Brian as he felt cold all of a sudden.

"Oh really, then why don't you just spend time with that girl instead" said Ariaj as Jessie slowly took steps back as she knows that this means war

"C-Come on, she was just asking for directions" said Brian as he tries to come up with an excuse. He then noticed that Jessie's nowhere to be seen. He tried to look around and found that Jessie's hiding behind the refrigerators.

Brian smiled nervously before looking at Ariaj once again. He was about to take a step forward when Ariaj stepped on his foot. Brian suppressed his voice as he cannot shout in agony inside the store. He smiled at Ariaj with his face becoming red in pain. He limped as Ariaj took her foot back and turned behind

"I think you got your lesson already. Pay for the make ups and meet us at the steak place we went to yesterday" said Ariaj as she handed the basket of make up to Brian and went to search for the scared Jessie

"I think I'm better off with just a bruise on my foot" said Brian as he sighed and went to the cashier to buy the products while Ariaj's searching for Jessie.

"There you are!" said Ariaj as she found Jessie next to the refrigerator

"Are you sure you're okay?" asked the skeptical Jessie as she looked at the now smiling Ariaj

"Yeah I think so. Since he's rich I'll just have to punish him by buying us food" said Ariaj as and Jessie just nodded in return

As Brian was done paying for the cosmetics he went outside to see that Ariaj and Jessie's already at the ground floor, ordering foods and not waiting for him. He huffed and when he look up he found the lady he was talking to earlier and she smiled at him. Knowing Brian he too smiled back and winked at the lady before looking back down at the restaurant and saw Ariaj glaring at him and motioning him to come to them.

Brian smiled as he made his way to the escalator and to the restaurant. as Brian made his way to them he keeps on smiling up until he finally got to sit down next to Jessie who looked at him in panic. Jessie then nudged Brian telling him to move to the seat next to Ariaj. Brian laughed and shook his head but Jessie then stomped on his foot making him jolt in pain and stood up. He then went to sit next to Ariaj who still has her evil glare towards Brian.

"I-I bought the make up" said Brian as he slowly took the bag of make ups and showed it to Ariaj as he smiled at her

"Good, and now you're buying us lunch" said Ariaj as Brian finally got to breath peacefully as Ariaj's not mad at him anymore

"Waiter!" yelled Brian as the waiter came to their table with the menus

"What would you like to order?" asked the waiter

"i think I wan-" before Brian could finish his words Ariaj spoke faster making him shut up

"What's your most expensive dish?" asked Ariaj as the waiter smiled at them

"It's the wagyu beef maam. it's 300 dollars per steak" said the waiter as Ariaj nodded and next to her is Brian who's having cold sweats

"then I'd like to order five(5) of those and what do you like Jess?" asked Ariaj as Jessie smiled at her

"I think I'll order what you have" said Jessie as Ariaj nodded and forcefully closed the menu as she looks at Brian

"And you?" asked Ariaj as Brian just smiled at her

"the same" said Brian as Ariaj nodded and looked at the waiter

"Seven of those please and bottomless iced tea" said Ariaj as she handed the menu back to the waiter

"Wow, it's going to be a long day" said Jessie as she watch as Ariaj's eyes twitch and Brian trembling in fear
