Living Vicariously: Savannah's Day At The Beauty Parlor and The Return of The Ghosts of MK's Relationship Past

Previously On Living Vicariously

Narrated by: Esereth Rageni Emari

Our dear Savvy went on another shopping spree (may her wallet rest in peace). MK lounged around in the office, perfecting his webpage and was warmly welcomed to the world of Multiply

... That's it...

What do you expect a three chapter recap?

Move along... There's nothing to see here, on to our tale.

Oh! today, we'e having another two tale installment, it seems I have a lot of time on my hands. In the words of Spider Man (or was it his uncle?)

"With great power, comes great responsibilities..."

My power: Narrating tales that both shock and awe readers. Or at least amuse them.
Responsibilty: Saving people from boredom and adding color to their dull and dreary existence with my saucy tales (admit it, my stories make you crave to know more....)

SR's Day At The Beauty Parlor and The Return of The Ghosts of MK's Relationship Past

Hello Fabulous Readers,

Here's a fun way to introduce our tale today, this is borrowed from Missy Elliott's "Work It":

If you're a fly gyal, then get your nails done
Get a pedicure, get your hair did...

That is exactly what our dear Savvy did after a looooooooong day at work- but I'm getting ahead of myself here.

Work (Yesterday, 2:00 pm)

Savvy was figetting on her seat, wondering how in the world was she going to contact the parents. You see, in her haste to leave the house (time: 5:15 am - time of work 5:30 am) she neglected to check if she had brought her cell with her (she did not). She only realized that she forgot about it, when she arrived the VN office (she was 3 minutes late o boot. Drat!).
There she was thinking about the right course of action...

Options:

1. Go to the usual parking spot at the back of the building and wait for the parents to arrive (Sav's still waiting on her driver's license. Ergo, she can't drive yet and will have to depend on Daddy dearest for transportation).

2. Go to A Mall and pray to God that her parents show up.

3. Use company phone to call the house.

4. Borrow MK's phone to text Leeno and instruct him to text the parents (Savvy had his number memorized, while she didn't know her parents numbers SHAME)

Sav had decided to employ option 4, that is until MK's phone rang and lo and behold guess who was calling him hmmm?
BP! The long absent Bernard Plak (by my count, it has been 10 days, I think) the man who ceremoniously ignored our MK for (let's assume I'm correct) 10 days! amazing the cojones (English: balls) on this dude to call for help.

Note to MK from Sav: Forgive me Madz, I just had to say that (this is righteous indignation coming from me...

So there, Sav could only gape at Mad as he spoke to BP, Oh, and at that very moment her Mum showed up, like any regular Mother fetching her kid from Kindergarten- Except, Sav is an adult and she just recently graduated from College AND for almost a month now, she has been working at VN. In her mother's hand was her precious cellphone...
Ah... this just confirmed her suspicions since childhood, Mother's are psychic! How in the world did she know where Sav hid her phone (behind her books) and how did she somehow hear Sav's thoughts that she needed her cellphone to be brought when they fetched her? Which begs the question, are Mothers edowed with this "know it all power" of some sort? Get back to me on that one GOD...

Off Savy went with her Mother and she introduced her to some of the VN gang at the elevator as they were going down. Apparently, the gang thinks Sav's mother is one hot mama, or something like that. Sav looks nothing like her mother though, she takes after her father.

Back to Missy Elliott: If you're a fly gyal, then get your nails done
Get a pedicure, get your hair did...

As I said, that is what Savvy did. She got her nails done: mani and pedi- she didn't get her "Hair did" though- perhaps on Sunday. After that, Sav felt like a million bucks! it has been a while since she got a mani-pedi, so much so, that her nails were always caked with dirt (thanks to her dogs). Yes, it's a gross and unflattering thing to reveal, but she has redeemed herself with glossy french-tipped nails.

9:00 pm

Sav receives a text message from MK. MK gives her a play by play of the afternoon with the whole BP resurrection...
(we can't say that it was a miraculous reappearance since if any one of you know that it only took 3 days for the son of God to rise from the grave- BP took ten days (not that he was dead or anything), I'm just making a point that, this, my dear readers is not a miracle, but the work of someone will an ulterior motive (The Devil perhaps?)

Note to MK from Savvy again: I know you think he means no harm and that he really needs help, but really, I'm smelling something foul here- no "hi - hello" for 10 days then suddenly he pops back into your life without preamble and begs you to help on his proposal thingy, which by the way, is his job! (not yours). I applaud your charity work for him though... I just hope he's not taking advantage of you.

MK narrates his experience and Sav starts worrying that her friend is being sorely taken advantage of by the scheming BP. BUT, Sav thinks she shouldn't be too quick to judge, BP MIGHT be a decent human being who truly needs assistance. Then again, he could rip MK to shreds again by disappearing after MK is done helping him...

Only time will tell... Is he a Devil or Angel? tick tock we're awaiting judgment day BP...

The Lunch Meeting

Hello Fabulous Readers,

This is tale 2:

Today, the VN gang:

Miranda Kay (Mir K)
Krystal Aquamarine Tee (KT)
James Ray Desmond (JD)
Elle Fionna Mish (EM)
Alessandra Nadeska (AN)
The DD MK and SR.

went out to lunch (9:30 am) I know, It's considered breakfast, but yeah, that's their lunchbreak. During the course of their meal, what transpired between the seven of them, turned out to be a lunch meeting or a group couseling session- headed by the high priest (or priestess of the Church of Freud or Erikson) Maddox Keynes, second in command: Savannah Red. Now, I won't give out the pertinent details of what they actually dicsussed during lunch (I have an iron-clad policy about keeping very revealing personal details about my characters a secret).

So here's their discussion in a nutshell.

JD shared something about his family and gave his two cents about living together with your significant other before being shackled into a marriage.

EM talked about her boyfriend and shared her opinion about living together as well.

AN and Mir K shared their opinions about the topics thrown in by the others.

MK processed it and preached to the group. Psychological terms were thrown into the mix- I think only SR and MK knew what they meant.

KT shared something about romantic relationships, personal fears and added a dash of angst about certain family members for good measure.

SR added bits about romantic relationships, family issues and fears as well (it seems she and KT have a lot of things in common in the family and love department).

Again, MK processed and preached (you rock MK). He also interviewed certain members in the group about their experiences.

All in all, it was a very revealing lunch break...

I wonder what we'll learn about them during their next gathering?

One can only speculate... In the words of Umberto Eco:

"But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth."

Hmm... Are we going to find the truth behind their stories?

I hope you will wait in bated breath for our next tale, who knows what we might find out...
