The night was almost as similar as the day. Sina tossed and turned until her back ran raw. She couldn't get the image of the man she saw in the window out of her head. There was absolutely no way she was just seeing things and in some weird way she was regretting telling Azania about it. Like she should've kept him her little secret and by calling her sister's attention to it she would want to experience the site of him too.
He chiseled cheek bones and those hazel green eyes just pierced her soul as if they where summoning her to come close and like always she ran. In every situation she ran like she was running from Uche right now. She knew that one day he would find her and had no idea of what would come of it. He might actually kill her this time being that he use to come so close,only pulling back once it dawned on him that he actually had a ounce of feelings for her. It seemed so unfair for her to endure so much at such an young age but she did it so Azania wouldn't have to. So she would have a chance at a life that she didn't have and being with Uche made that possible.
Sina got out of the bed running her feet against the cold marble floors. She never had luxurious things but she was beginning to enjoy them. She yawned opening her window and spotted Azania trying to pull open that gate in the garden for the 100th time since they moved in a week ago. Sina threw on her robe dashing out the back door.
"Damnit leave that gate alone" Sina yelled startling her sister .
"Uggh, Sina you made me lose it" Azania yelled stomping her foot.
"Lose what"! Sina screamed back.
"The crack I made between the wall in the door" Azania said plopping down.
"We been here long enough to get out the house and out meet some people, you and that gate about to drive me fucking crazy" Sina yelled causing Azania to laugh.
"You sound like momma and look like daddy when you play angry" Sina rolled her eyes.
She hated any references that compare her to her mother. The last thing she wanted to hear was she was like her mother in any way.
"Lighten the fuck up, we really do needa be around other people besides each other. Azania said walking towards the house.
Roseboro, North Carolina was a small town with the population of 1,000. It was the kind of place that you envision when thinking about retiring in your old age. Everything was beautiful yet slow paced and quiet it was a wonder how the youth managed to have fun in such a place.
The Weeknd "I can't feel my face" chimed through the radio speakers.
"Its going down at Club Amethyst tonight" The DJ announced causing Sina to jump up in excitement.
"We def in there tonight" She yelled at Sina from the bathroom as Azania ransack her closet pulling out her black lace bodycon dress and black pumps. She was ready for some male attention and she was making sure that she was going to get some that night. Pinning her cherry red curly hair behind her left ear and lightly washing neutral shaded eyeshadow on her eyes. She might have been overlooked back home but this was her home now and she was going to make a name for herself.
Club Amethyst was more then both girls had expected.
"This damn sure ain't no hole in the wall" Sina said as she admired the purple velvet lounge sections and glass tile floor. For the first time sense they moved they actually felt like they was at home.
"Damn what the fuck ya'll looking at" Azania yelled at a group of girls who apparently wasn't appreciating the sight of new competition.
"Azania, stop it we came here to make friends not enemies" Sina grabbed her sister leading her to the nearest lounge area sitting down. Some tall mahogany brown skin girl walked over sitting across from them.
"Don't mind them, you two must be the heiress to "The Everlasting Rose" mansion".
"Yea, how you know" Sina said sliding over in the chair.
"Small town, I'm Sapphire by the way and those are my sisters Abigal, Penelope, and Emerald. Sapphire said motioning them to come over.
"We are the Blackwilt sisters" They all said in unsion.
"I'm Azania and this is my sister Sina" Azania said throwing her hand out.
"And we are the Wilson sisters" Sina said as she started to shake the hands of the girls across from them.
Emerald switched in her sit throwing her long black hair over her shoulders. As Penelope eyes widened.
"Wilson sisters!" Abigal said with such excitement. Causing Azania to peered at her strangely.
"We have heard so much about you two" Emerald said winking her eyes as Sapphire motioned for her to shut up.
"Your Grandmother and mines were best friends, we are happy to finally meet the girls we heard so much about" Sapphire said as she motioned the waitress for some drinks.
"Let's fill you in about this place, They're only 50 women and 54 men in our age group here. This is where we hang out this is our side of town the other side. Is Lilith ,NC which is mainly whites and conservative blacks this is the side of those that the rest of society didn't want. We are the misfits. Our ancestors were outcast here and made this our own everything you see here is ours." Emerald said grabbing a glassing of red wine off the platter.
Sina laughed "Outcast, Misfit, you gotta be fucking kidding me" she said in between chuckles.
"It's true, Sina" Some tall light man with tattoos said sliding in the lounge section.
"How the fuck you know my name" Sina went off standing up.
"Sit down, I'm Maurice a Blackwilt, have you seen ..." Maurice was ssshed by Sapphire.
"Have we seen what"? Azania said staring at all of them.
"They haven't even opened the gate yet" Penelope muttered
"Don't get her started with that damn gate" Sina said rolling her eyes.
"The gate"! Azania yelled in excitement "I knew that something was special about that gate,but I can't get it open!"
"you have to find the key first, it should be in the dungeon" Maurice said gazing at Azania.
"There's a dungeon to our house" Sina said in totally shock.
"Let's go see if we can open it together" Sapphire said as she tipped the waitress.
