Chapter Twenty Two

~ Adaria

I studied my reflection. I looked strange Not only had we dyed my hair, but we'd bleached it so that it look natural. Settled on an updo. Something simple yet chic. The hanging wisps hid the ears almost completely from view. I applied a blood red lipstick then used toilet paper to tone it down and get rid of the excess by pressing it between my lips. I smiled at my reflection again. She was lovely looking, this Adaria Lette. I turned around and turned off the lights. I grabbed my shoes from the closet and hurried out the door. Tyrell had already taken the food out to the car for me. I bumped into Mrs. Carol on my way out.

"Hold on missy!" She called out to me. I glanced at the P.E.T. quickly before turning and smiling at her.

"Good evening Mrs. Carol. Is there something I can do?" She shook her head.

"Here," She pulled something out of her purse. "You should put this on." She placed a small package into my hand. She winked before walking away. "Have a good evening."

"You too." While riding in the elevator I opened the package that she'd given me. It was a sliver colored leglet with a light pink ribbon going around it and ending as a bow. I smiled and slid it on. Maybe this would be a nice gift for Tyrell later.

I ran out the door to the parking garage. Tyrell was waiting in the car. He started the car when he saw me.

"You know, for an assassin you take forever to get to your destination." I pouted.

"Mrs. Carol wanted to give me something, it would have been rude to ignore her." He laughed.

"Oh? What was it?" I stuck out my tongue.

"I can't say. It's for later, not for your parents to see." He looked over at me for a second.

"Is it illegal?"

"No."

"Is it for both of us or just you?"

"Us."

"Where do you use it?"

"Anywhere."

"Where is it?" I was silent for a moment.

"Here." I gestured to my whole body.

"Adaria... what is it?"

"You'll see." He sighed and was silent.

What could it be? Mrs. Carol, though old, could be more vulgar than a teenage boy at times. She wouldn't go out and buy something completely obscene, maybe something classy. It had to be something to wear, I didn't see any bulges under her dress. I gave her a few more sideways glances. No, wait there was a slight rise on her left thigh. I quickly pulled off to the side of the road.

"It's a leglet!" I nearly shouted. Her whole face bursted into a blush. She reached over and covered my face.

"Shh! You shouldn't say it so loud." I laughed.

"What does it look like?" I reached over to raise the edge of the dress. She let out a small shriek and held it down.

"Not right now!" She punched my arm. "Later!" I frowned. "No." She glared at me before turning away and crossing her legs.

"I still get it later though, right?"

"I'll think about it." I smiled and drove the car on. There were still over thirty minutes to my parents' house.
