Fiona, freedom, and lessons

"What the hell is wrong here? Sure, these boys have got some game, but it ain't ta kind ya gonna find in the streets, it's too damn pompous, high class, tv drama shit. It's the looks from the way I see it. Lotta hens looking at em now that the roosters cawed, none of them look'n too easy either, damn girl, you just had to be smart n' stupid kind, huh?"

Maxwell thought as he went through Fiona's life, he liked her, easy on the eyes, starlet kinda voice, strong hips, legs for miles, and rest of her? Didn't leave you wanting for more, physically anyways.

Her head was another story, it's like they forgot the to paint the whole damn house, decorate it, and, invite people to live in it, she's a god damned mess! Where as you've been around the block a couple times, had some nights with some people charmed the money outta them and then some, she's a little guppie trying be big fish, except she hasn't earned the respect of the big fishes here.

She's like, way too hard headed to stop, but she's got moxie, ya like that. She's also got a lot to say about family, someth'n the two of you share, keeping the family together, while she ain't the most elegant of the girls, she's the one who throws punches first. The main difference being you've thrown actual punches instead of played with words and rumors, still you've seen this shit before, the good times and the bad, hell you damn well know the life of people, that's the name of the people game, know'n things.

Poor girl has got the looks and ways to get all the info she wants, sad thing is, youth is the trial by fire, an' the Don, alway was watching for the people who had values n' heart. Like the man himself said "Ain't nobody got a reason to protect what's theirs, an' ain't nobody best at protecting than family." Good guy too. Sure he'd chop some finger, make some of the goons sleep with the fishies, all of that, but when you an' your brother worked for him? You two were set in stone, your ma and pa were proud of you both, you little brothers and sisters? They were happy to see you walking the streets with the your younger brother, keep 'em safe, sad part is, all of that changed real quick after the streets didn't need protecting, shame, cause all the filled would come out and play even the Don's kids would play with you siblings, it was the American dream, but you got wake up, can't dream forever, and boy did this girl need it! "There's Lance Whealter! Okay, Fiona, just walk over, smile! Start shaking it! Get him drooling over you and then sweet talk him, easy!"

This girl goes on and on about these fucks! She hasn't even bagged one, even the families with less money avoid her! Which is pretty bad too cause it's the start of the new year, new year, new opportunities, easy right? Not for this chick, she just wanted the attention of her peers, and, away from her dad, who isn't the father you'd air down at the family table with, he's more of the kind to steal the table an' tell you Milo, the family cat did it. Soon all the rooster strutting their feathers dangling their coattails, and, whatever else made em' rich pasted by. "Good" you think, slowly pulling out Max to start things off easy, cause these kids were about to get caught by a new kind of Fiona, with the ol' Maxwell sueave!

You simply flick her hair back, pit some oomph in those steps, smile, not too big, not to small, just right. You let her out of the backseat, to the passenger seat, have her watch ya, show her how it's done, carefully, you let her rotate her shoulders and butt with calculated ease, except you do it with less effort. Less drive, just casual, natural, motions. It drives her up the wall, she's clawing at you from the inside, fighting for control of her body, to get them to look at her! Stop for her! Bow to her! She had to get them to want her! For a moment she's there with you, trying to tear you out of her head, but you've seen this before. You know it, you can tell what kind of girl she is, and, it does hurt you, in a very deep way.

"All right Fi. Watch how a professional charmer does it. Then tell me I'm wrong."

You tell her as the door is there, within grasp, her hands go out, trying to slap you, but it's directed into a cool sweep of your hair, then again the other one is put to the door knob, and, at once, to first lady at the door. "Ladies first Maria!" You announce, as she is one of the more sought after girls, both in brains and beauty, she's the calm, yet chatty type. Able to speak about many different topics and not have any trouble. Yet she's also withdrawn, a daddy's kind of girl, with is her servant, Selena, she's the one who speaks up first, like it's her job to, which it very might be, since Maria ain't good at starting or ending talks.

"Miss Fiona! I'm terribly sorry to have you open the door for us! I'll hold it for you, or ask Adam to do it!" She begins a little flustered, yet completely able to take control of the situation, the kind of lady that men want to have around them, like the Don's old lady, sweet, tough, old bird that lady was.

"No Selena, it's absolutely fine, after all even we forget to show polite manners to others, even over the simple things! So please go in with Maria!" You tell them with perfect annunciation, no small feat for Fiona, yet it feels wrong for her.

"Fiona, I believe that I'm enough for this, let me." Your servant Adam starts, he's the same age as you, good looking too, but he's whipped by Fiona, bought by your father, and, your mother's toy. Not a good guy to have around, sadly Fiona let's him stay, instead of putting him the hole to rot. Sad, it really is.

"Adam. I believe I asked you to not bother me today? As I wanted to do things differently." You tell him, remembering the atrocious plan Fiona had schemed for today, to embarrass some of the poor girls here.

"I have made it very clear on your actions around my sisters. Anastasia is one thing, so is my mother, but if so much as a hair on Cordelia's head is harmed, because of you, I'll drop you out of the family." You tell him, which shuts him up for good, the people are almost flabbergasted by this, in which he simply kids and backs away, going into the classroom, he distances himself from you, you didn't do it, to damage your reputation, but to protect the family, Fiona's family, she didn't realize that not everyone wants to help her out, especially the servants, you can tell when a snake is hissing in the grass, because it's too tall to see. This here is a part of another great saying of words by the Don: "Not every person who wrongs you, is your enemy. Not every person who helps you out is your friend, and sometimes the thing to do is climb out of the shit you got into be taking responsibility." Fiona can't see past the golden cage, she's blinded by the gold, but you ain't, and if you're going to be living it up as her, then she won't be blinded by anything ever again.

******

It's lunch time when the girls and guys begin to really talk about things, like you outing your own servant. It's practically got the school shaking, even Anastasia asked about it, in which she agreed with you on it, which had many girls asking you about, as if the world had discovered sliced bread again.

"You are absolutely serious! Adam did that! Out of all of the people to employ! He's the only one? You are sure?" Candice asks, shaking with a viable rage.

"Absolutely Candice. He's been peek in us for years. My father is behind it all sadly, so getting rid of him is going to be....... A lot of hard work." You tell the girls, as they begin to flock around you.

"Am sorry to say this, but your old family pride is to blame, it's exactly that which breeds this behavior Fiona." One of her bullies preaches, of course it comes from someone in the technology families. Who's parents just got into their level of wealth.

"Did I stutter when I spoke to him Grace?" You begin taking a more relaxed position, yet holding up the proper lady image perfectly, but keeping everything down to the simplest levels, to avoid any confusion. "He's been flirty with Cordelia, trying to sneak in on my mother, and, he gave Anastasia far too much wine, all so he happened to sleep in the same bed as her." You tell her, now having their attention. "I cannot simply believe it's coincidence after three times, even if my father is paying younger women for a night, Adam is there with him, so who am I to trust aside from my sister's?" You reason, which draws more gasps, your father? The one who is causing trouble for you? Adam? Who has been caught red handed trying to woo your sisters? "I've come to realization, that I was being deceived, my father wants to marry into money, so he's been having Adam push me to that end." You end, showing off the worst part of the family, it hurts the name sure, but Cordelia is very well thought of, Anastasia is very much looked up to, and you? Now you're known as the girl who's been protecting her sisters by any means necessary. "And I would like to apologise, to the people I've offended, with my previous attitude and actions." You whimper, letting, not crocodile tears, but a loose genuine one, which Maria herself wipes away with her own Handkerchief.

"Integrity and loyalty to the family."

The old family motto you remember, makes you smile, when you see the girls here supporting Fiona. If she's lucky, them maybe you'll rub off in her, in a good way. Since you have come this far with Gus, maybe you should stick around him.
