Chapter 29 - The Devil wears Prada
It was morning and it was the day off. I snuggled in my bed for more than usual. I looked at the bedside table and it was empty.
I knew he hadn't come and my face fell. I checked my alarm clock and it was 9 a.m. I wasn't the person to laze around all day but I felt extremely lethargic.
Slowly I sat up and brought myself out from the comfort of my bed and dragged myself to the bathroom.
My off day was slowly processing and I recalled my days had been like this when Callahan hadn't appeared. It had been me waking up, bathing, making breakfast, doing my house chores, making lunch, reading and taking naps in between.
I came out of the bathroom and saw Miory was there in front of the mirror as she had a small crop top and high waist shorts. Her face glinted and her smooth flawless brown skin glowed.
"You ready?" Her eyes fell on me and the glow in them perished as soon as she saw I wasn't ready at all.
"What? You aren't even dressed yet!" She said with a frustrated voice and sat on the bed.
"I thought we were going after breakfast?"
"No. We will have our breakfast outside." She said while looking at her nails, "I can't be bothered by making breakfast now."
"Alright. Give me five minutes."
I took my jeans and t-shirt and wore it and within a few minutes I was prepared to go.
"You want to go outside with that dull outfit?" She asked, crossing her hands above her chest.
"Yes, because I don't have that many good selective dresses."
Well, I didn't have much but the ones I had were all either black, gray or faded black. But it seemed it didn't satisfy Miory as she went straight to my cupboard and messed it around.
"What the hell are you doing?" I placed my hands on my hips.
"Mmm..." She mumbled something, probably praising my wonderful collection, then she took out two dresses and threw them at me. "Wear this."
I eyed the dresses for a moment that laid on the ground beside my feet. It was a pair of shorts . It wasn't high waisted and although the top had two strings, it wasn't a good fit with the shorts as it would seem like I was wearing my house clothes.
"You want me to wear this?!" I looked at her as if she had grown another head. Well, she did grow two heads because that was outrageous!
"Just wear it." She grinned and brought out another cloth from her bag. "Don't worry, I have a cute shirt to go along with that."
I nodded because the printed shirt did look cute. I changed the clothes and wore the shirt while she folded the sleeves and tied the corners of the shirt just above my belly button. Now my waist was visible but the shirt loosely hung which made me look cute.
"That looks nice." I said and appreciated Miory in which she gave a proud grin. "I didn't know you had a good fashion sense."
"Well, I do because why not? You should pamper yourself once in a while and I like to do that everyday."
I nodded as I gave her a smile.
"Wear white shoes with that." She said and I went to grab my one and only white shoes I had. I wasn't fond of shoes because I had no idea what to buy and how to coordinate them with dresses so most of the things I bought remained untouched.
Miory said to go for a high bun and I obeyed her since her choice of clothing was best. Weird thing was Emily never did something like this. She dolled herself but when it came to me, she told me I looked all good.
Soon, we left for our girly date. Well, it was a good distraction and a good workout on my off day otherwise I would stay at home doing nothing.
She had bought a car and we went to have breakfast first. We clicked pictures and selfies and had more food than we could eat but ate anyway.
"Let's go to watch a movie." She suggested.
"I thought you wanted to shop for a few dresses." I said as I sipped on my smoothie.
"Yeah, we can do that later but I saw some reviews on this movie..." She took out her phone and scrolled and then showed me. "This is a love story and I so wanna watch it."
There were two stars in her eyes and I couldn't help but chuckle at her adorable side. The devils can be adorable too I guess. Who could have thought Miory, the Chaos Devil, loved romantic movies? "Alright. Let's go."
We headed toward the movie complex and as we bought tickets a group of men bumped on us. One of them said, "Sorry." And helped us balance on our feet.
However, Miory rumbled. "Hands off, you dirty bastards!"
They became a little agitated as they got a bit taken aback by her savage behavior. Even I was about to tell her not to be so rude but then Miory said, "You think I can't hear your dirty thoughts?"
They looked at her as if she made a joke.
"What is your problem, lady? We were just helping you." One of them said.
"Yeah, by thinking 'I could have fucked her hard right now.'" Miory said and the man's eyes bulged out from his sockets. He didn't expect her to say the exact words he thought.
He let out a nervous chuckle and said to his buddies, "She is crazy. Let's go." There was a panic in his eyes as he glanced at us while going away.
I chuckled. "So that was what they were thinking?"
"Yeah, they bumped at us intentionally and faked the whole helping us shit." She brushed her hair with her hands and said, "Such narrow minded jerks thinking helping us could make their dicks into our pussies."
My face reddened as Miory's words came out. She was savage and bold but I couldn't help but laugh as I dragged her toward the movie hall.
The movie was really good and somehow it reminded me of Callahan. Why the hell am I still thinking of him? Well, I knew the answer but I wanted to distance myself from him so these feelings went away but all I was doing was missing him more. But while he is gone now, maybe I should try to see this as an opportunity to kill my feelings.
I heard a muffled voice from beside me and took a glance at Miory. She had a handkerchief and occasionally wiped away her tears. I gave her a look.
"You are crying?" I whispered.
"What! No! My eyelashes got into my eyes." She said but after that followed a sniffle.
I narrowed my gaze at her. "Can't help it, okay! I can't believe the male lead is dying when I had fucked him last night."
A gap formed in my mouth. "You-what?!"
She moved at me and a grin plastered on her face. "Yeah. He was a nice fuck. My whole apartment was burnt down and I didn't have a place so I went to him. Oh!" She pointed at her dress. "He bought me this and that shirt you are wearing. He gave me that as well. Just in case."
I nodded. "Wow! That is really unexpected."
I didn't know what to feel. Should I feel overwhelmed or maybe blessed because I bet I was wearing a thousand dollars shirt that was gifted by a well-known and famous actor. Not to me though.
"No. Not unexpected because after he achieves his dreams, I will have his soul all to myself." Somehow her grin wasn't gentle anymore; it was more like evil.
"So he is contracted to you? I thought you were a devil of chaos."
"Well, yes. He had bad luck and was struggling a year ago and when he got contracted with me, all of his bad luck turned to good luck since I attract chaos (in the form of bad luck) so, he is lucky now." She said with a proud face.
The movie ended when the male kissed the female and died.
We got up and now it was time for shopping.
We crashed into a restaurant before our shopping since we both were hungry. We ordered large portions again since we were a little bit too hungry. We clicked pictures of the food and took selfies. The day was really good and as she had promised, Miory didn't do anything to make chaos around us.
"Thank you." I said as Miory looked at me with wide dark eyes.
"About what?"
"About spending time with me today because to be honest, I was bored and..." I felt a little embarrassed to confess but she needed to know my feelings. "I had never had any friends who would spend time with me. I guess you are the first girlfriend I have."
Color appeared on her brown skin and with her make up it wasn't visible but I could see it. "Ah! That..." She put one spoon full of scoop in her mouth and said, "To be honest, Devionth told me to go with you and I thought it would be boring since I don't do these things."
I looked at her as she kept going. "But I enjoyed the human-ly things and I guess I would like to do this often." She smiled and I could see it was genuine.
So, Callahan told her? Why didn't I see this coming? Damn! It felt like I was wrapped in his webs but I didn't mind since Miory wasn't that bad. Well, she certainly didn't do anything bad or maybe it was because of Callahan since he was powerful and I had seen Droy and Miory to follow his orders.
"Yes, let's do this often." I smiled and we finished our lunch.
We went to the mall and crashed into the woman section. Series after series clothes hung. New designs to old, colorful to dull colors, everything was there. We went to the casual wear section. She chose a few good pants, shorts and tops for me and she took almost ten clothes with her.
Then we went to the shoes section. I had no idea what to buy so she again selected two beautiful yet elegant shoes for me while she took five pairs.
Then we entered the lingerie section. As soon as we entered, Miory ran toward a mannequin who had a black bra and panty with strings. It was damn sexy.
"Oh! My Gosh! I am going to buy it." She exclaimed as I looked at the price and my face went blank. What the hell! It was more pricey than the rent I pay every month.
She told a worker from there to add it on her cart and it seemed all of the workers' eyes glinted as they found a rich customer today. Because she was buying almost everything and not just one.
I went and looked for comfort and possibly low pricey lingerie and asked her, "Are you seriously going to buy all of these? I mean those would cost a ton!"
"Yes, I will buy all of them. Money is not a problem." She swung her hair and casually moved her eyes around finding the next lingerie to pick.
"Well, that must be a perk to being a devil I guess." I sighed.
She stiffened. "Err... I am kinda poor when it comes to human money although it still doesn't matter since I can just get someone who has money."
I raised a brow. "What do you mean?"
She drifted her eyes away and I narrowed my eyes on her.
"Well, I am a chaos devil so I make low money in hell and for a few centuries I have been in the same position which didn't help me to make more money." She sighed.
With that in my mind, a question came. How the hell did Callahan get that much money then?
"How does Callahan get that much money?" I asked a bit curiously.
"Well, he is the top most devil general for centuries after centuries and he has a lot of other stuff so money comes to him like dust." She said and I nodded a bit overwhelmed by the information.
"So, how are you gonna pay for those?" I almost panicked because even if I paid for them with my savings, that wouldn't save us from the humiliation that was about to come.
She took out a golden card and swung in front of me as a grin played on her big lips. "David has given me his card so I can go shopping. He said I can use it all I want."
"Wait! The actor David?" The male lead whom we were talking about a while ago.
She nodded.
I shrugged my lips because that man was literally spoiling her. I mean it was true that she had turned his luck but still.
"Good for you that he is spoiling you." I said as I took a beige color bra.
"Yes, a man should spoil a woman to the fullest." She said with her head higher. "Unlike certain someone whose name is Devionth."
We were about to laugh at her joke when we heard a voice just behind us.
"I heard my name."
And we both froze.
