Rachel's penthouse

11am

"Babe did you find out about the Alex guy?" Carol asked.

Carol was at Rachel's apartment for her regular exercise routines. Rachel was also one of Carols important client, who paid her well. Though carol could give free service to Rachel but both of them tend to keep it professional.

"No. Dad wouldn't say me anything. But my assistant was actually able to find out that the fucker is a womaniser. He has slept with half of my models. Can you believe it? Out of everyone, my dad actually has arranged my marriage to a Dick." said Rachel stretching.

Carol narrowed her eyes listening to Rachel.

" Even I sleep with random guys babe. Does that make a Dick as well? "

" No baby, why would I think of it like that....i am sorry.. I didn't mean it that way. I guess I just want to find some bad points in that guy so I could convince dad." Rachel looked sincerely at Carol, trying her best not to give her BFF any negative impression.

" But on a serious note, just when are you going to find yourself a loving boyfriend? I am afraid when I will get married to Brian you would be so fucking alone!"

"I can't be in a relationship. You know it. It's just wasting time" Carol laughed.

"Sigh.. Do you think I don't know why you just randomly sleep with people? Why you don't do relationships?.. Let the past stop hurting you carl.. you convinced me to stop my past from hunting me and God knows how much i have moved on. But you also need to fight Babe." Rachel spoke up.

"I know Babe.. I know." Carol already knew what Rachel was trying to make her understand. Even she wanted to move on, but maybe she didn't have the strong willpower that her friend had. To top it she was confused with herself. She was this sweet, soft-spoken girl everyone knew about, but she also had this crazy vive in her that made her want to do really mad things . She was a mix of introvert and extrovert, both at the same time.

Rachel always told her that one day someone will appear who genuinely will understand her and she needs to find that someone. Though her personal thoughts differed. She always knew that her friend was a hopeless romantic, while she saw the world in quite a practical way. There is no happily ever after in her world. Very rare people seems to get it and she was quite sure that she was not one of them. Her fate always had been sad from the day she was born. She didn't want people to hurt her more, thus she had very rare friends. The less number of people, the less number of hurt you get was her life's motto.

"Enough about this shit, did you pack up?" Carol said trying to change the subject.

"Hmm.. Almost. How about you? "

"All done. I can't believe it that I am actually going to take a months vacation! I have packed all the new clothes we got that day.. Oh and i need to buy some shoes.. And condoms.. Heard the boys are sexy there.." she started babbling like an excited child.

Rachel had a smile on her face on hearing Carol. She was happy that her friend was going to have a great vacation but was hit by anxiety once again on thinking about her dad and her boyfriend. Just how is she going to convince her family, she thought.

"You are thinking about Kevin uncle isn't it?" Carol words but her back.

"Yes. I just hope nothings going to mess up. I really love Brian and don't really want to be separated from him."

"Don't worry, I will convince uncle."

Though Carol tried to sound optimistic but both the friends knew that it was not so simple. There will be a lot of challenges that they need to face in the near future at the Vallcrose's house.
