Meagan

I like it. Deandra made meagan turn around. What do you think? deandra asked alyssa.

meagan was trying on the braidsmaids dress. dee was having a peach and cream colored wedding and meagan was doing her sisterly duties.

when meagan finally was done, she decided it was time to loosen up. Maybe get a facial or take a nap.

Meagan got out of the elevator and walked across the first floor and into the lounge. Since it wasn't dark there weren't many people at the bar. Meagans vision focused on a man sitting in the corner, his tie undone, counting the nuts on the bar counter. Meagan rolled her eyes.

Meagan straightened her back, smoothed down her skirt, and marched her way to the man that caught her eye.

Why is it that every time im trying to let loose you come around and make my day sour? Meagan was in no mood to deal with him. She just wasn't. and it seemed that he was terrible at body language because Meagan was silently screaming bug off.

Wow. That sounds a lot like hate miss brokerick. _ he said from his spot of the bar.

Oh yeah they were standing their ground.

Excuse me? Hate? No. no no no good sir.

Meagan meandered to his side of the bar and gave him a piece of her mind.

"I cant stand you. Everything about you. I don't give a shit that youre rich. That's why you walk around with this arrogance and treat everbpody like they are second class. Well let me tell you that despite your business affairs you are nothing. Boring.

Who brings the fun? Me. I do. And why? Because I would never want to be stiff like your tips.

Oh I think I know you pretty well.

Oh really? I call your bluff. Meagan huffed

He took another swig of brown liquid and got up in meagans face.

At least I have a job. You, you just parade around here with your tail between your legs. All sad and mopy. Not to mention bitchy. Admit it. You lost. You went up to a multi billion dollar company and you got crushed.

Whose the stiff now?

Oh yeah huh? Bravo! You know nothing about me. Zero. Zilch.

Oh yweah you think so?

Yeah I do. My room nine o clock. Meagan was fuming. She was both mad and horny at the same time. And well, lets just be honest. He scratched her itch.

Lets do this. He says with enthusiasm. Or that glint in his eye could have been created by the liquor. Either way Meagan was going to get her man. this time without the magic.

..............

Ring ring ring....

Uh meagan moaned as she turned on her back reached her arm over the nightstand and she answered the call. Hello meagan said groggily. It took her senses a while until she remeberd where she was. And who was in her room. She went to look at the body on her bed. He was still sleeping while meagan talked on the phone.

Hello miss Broderick this is your wake up call. Im supposed to tell you that you are wanted in the brides suite asap.

Shit- meagan whispered. And then she remembered that she was still on the phone with the conseirge. I mean thank you meagan said. And hung up the phone.

Meagan jumped out of bed just as he syarted to wake up.

Get up meagan whisper yelled.

mmmm?

Meagan hit him with a pillow when he didtn get up right away.

Meagan pulled her hair in a sloppy bun. Im so late. Do you have any idea what time it is? Meagan told him

Oh shit! That's right the wedding. He shot out of bed and hastily put on his clothes from the night before and kissed her on the cheek on his way out.

Meagan didn't bother putting makeup on because she knew dee had sprung for a hair and makeup artist to get them glamord. She too put on something sensible and ran out her room and inside the elevator and over to the brides suit.

Thankfully the hairdresser was busy working on dee for her to notice she was late. meagan braced herself but dee didn't mention it.

The tailor came rushing over to meagan and wrestled her into the peach braidesmaids dress. It was simple yet elegant.

Ok how do I look? Meagan asked her sister. Aly had just come in the suite while meagan was trying on the dress for the second time. Meagan stood in front of the full length mirror and turned over to make sure there were no rolls. Perfect. Meagan was of average height and was in the normal body weight range. Still she wanted to look good. Was there anything wrong with that?

Images of her and mr tycoon dancing on the dance floor popped in her mind.

Alyssa smiled sweetly. Stunning she said

Nobody stopped what they were doing when the door opened. Twenty minutes till showdown, the planner aannounced peeking into the braidesmaids suite and closing the door behind her.

Meagan caught dees attention. You look beautifl. I cant believe it. Youre going to be a wife. She gushed

I know right? Dee said smiling. Me. Of all people. I feel so lucky.

Dee did a double take looking around the suite.

Wait a minute. Where is cj? She asked

Meagan beckoned dee to sit still in her chair. She wasn't worried. He was probably out there doing something. did you check the mens dressing room? He might be chatting it up and lost track of time.

More like on that laptop he carries around with him.

Hm. Meagan could you please go and get cj? I have a bad feeling In my gut. Somethings wrong I can tell.

Meagan nodded her head. Sure thing. Ill be right back. Meagan told the hairdresser.

Five minutes she mouthed.

Meagan got off the chair she was sitting on, opened the door and went in search of her little brother. Meagan looked left to right and mentally checked off the places that were left. Cj was always punctual. So that's why it was odd that cj wasn't by dees side.

Hey have you seen cj?

Of course Meagan would run into him. i really need to find him

Im sure hes around here somewhere. Hes an adult. Let him take his time to gather his thoughts and im sure he'll be right back. Here why don't I help you look for him.

His eyes were a different shade. A

Well there is a secret hideout, a tunnel. It was used back in the day to smuggle people and drugs. Maybe hes there? Cmon I'll show you the way.

Meagan followed behind him unsure of where they were heading. But she trusted him.

Why would he be in here? Meagan wondered aloud.

He closed the door behind them, and grabbed a torch from the wall, motioning for Meagan to follow him pass the hall. Meagan ifted up the hem of her dress so that she wouldn't trip over it and followed his every step. down where they were it was dark, but the torch light provided enough light to see the way down.

I don't know. I think we should go back. Meagan hesitated.

Why? Are you scared?

Meagan huffed. He was always trying to one up Meagan. Though when she looked in his eyes this time, it was like looking at a different person. Goosebumps formed along her shoulders. If evil had an energy to it, that's what meagan felt from him in that moment.

Just over here. You see him?

Meagan slowly walked into what looked like was a tunnel. Meagan had no clue as to how far it would go.

sitting in the chair was- gasp. Cj Meagan rushed to his side, taking in his situation.

Who did this to you meagan asked
