02. A Convenient Run-In

2. A Convenient Run-In- Two hours afterwards.

Bree and her younger sister, Kennedy were shopping at the Port Charles Mall.

“I can’t believe you’re actually with Ethan. How long has it been?” Kennedy asked, peering at a few dresses on the fifty-percent off rack.

“A little over two months. Sixty-three awesome days.” Bree cooed.

Kennedy was trying on clothes.

Three girls walked into the dressing room area, where Kennedy and Bree were. Bree recognized the petite, dark haired girl from Kelly’s. The other two girls were at least five or six inches taller than her.

The tallest one was olive skinned with curly dark brown hair and a baby face. The other had medium caramel skin and wavy black-brown hair with dimples.

“So, I think this dress is really cute.” Corinna said, picking up a yellow sundress with short, ruffled sleeves and a ruffled hem.

“Yeah, yellow is really your color.” Felicia commented.

“Yeah. Felicia, you look good in blue.” Kristina told Felicia.

Corinna disappeared into the dressing room with the yellow dress. Bree observed the three of them.

Kristina pranced in Bree’s direction, where Bree was ogling a pair of Louboutins. “So, you’re Ethan’s girlfriend.”

“Yes. I am, and you’re…” Bree trailed off, waiting for Kristina to finish.

“Kristina. Kristina Corinthos-Davis. A friend of Ethan’s.” Kristina smiled and extended her hand.

Bree looked down and took it. “I’m Brielle Marcus, but everyone just calls me Bree.”

Kristina looked over her shoulder at Felicia, which signaled her to Google Bree. “Okay.” Kristina beamed and walked back over to Felicia.

Ethan was at Johnny’s, eating a late lunch, spaghetti with meatballs and garlic-cheese rolls.

“Are you coming to my birthday party? Kristina and her friends are coming.” Johnny asked, rolling the spaghetti around on a fork and shoving it into his mouth.

“I’m coming to the party, okay? You don’t have to tell me Kristina’s coming, it’s not gonna make me wanna come even more or whatever.”

“Whatever you say, man.” Johnny chuckled.

Ethan rolled his eyes. “I have a girlfriend. Remember Bree?”

“Yeah, I remember her.” Johnny said in a “duh,” voice. “Doesn’t she has a sister?” Johnny inquired.

“She does.” Ethan admitted setting down his fork and picking up a roll.

“You ought to tell Kristina your feelings.”

“What feelings? I have no feelings whatsoever for a girl who most likely still shops in the juniors section, okay?”

“Johnny burst out laughing so hard he almost fell out of his seat.

You should so try this on! This’ll blow Ethan’s mind.” Kennedy encouraged Bree to try on a tightly fitted forest green shirt-dress with a flattering neckline. Kennedy knew this wasn’t something she’d usually wear.

Bree looked at the dress, then at Kristina and her friends, then took the dress into the dressing room with her.

Kristina bought three dresses, Felicia bought four and Corinna also bought four.

“Corinna d’you have a boyfriend yet?”

“Not exactly, but I have been talking to this really cute guy online, with Facebook and Skype. Don’t worry about me, worry about Felicia.”

“What? No, I’m fine.” Felicia insisted.

“I should introduce you to my brother.” Kristina suggested.

“Which one?” she raised an eyebrow, hoping it wasn’t Dante.

“Michael. He’s a year older tha me, but he’s really cool.:

“Mmm-hmm.” Felicia said. “That’s what you say.”

“I’m serious this time.”
