The Girlfriend

“Percy? Where are you at?” The clueless Lily said as she explored the house she had been in hundreds of times already.

Lily entered her boyfriend’s house as she normally did: unannounced. In her defense, she was Percy’s girlfriend for as long as anyone could remember…she was basically family.

Lily was a beautiful 19 year-old girl. Her skin was envied by all that bore witness to it. It was so clear that it looked as if it was made of porcelain. Her dark brown hair was akin to the fanciest of silk. The shape of her body was the pinnacle of lust, her curves attracted all sorts of attention. However, of all of her enamored features, none came close to her gorgeous green eyes. They easily rivaled the shimmer of the clearest emeralds.

Percy was the luckiest of people because out of everybody she knew, Lily chose to love him unconditionally. Percy was of course glad to return the favor.

“Well, since he’s not here…” Lily said with a mischievous grin. “Let’s see if I could find my Valentine’s Day present…”

Percy was always the secretive type when it came to gift-giving...so could you blame the young woman for not wanting to waste an opportunity? She first went to his room, only to find clutter left and right. Though she turned the entire room upside down, Lily found nothing. She then went to his parent’s room, and got the same result.

There was nothing of note in the guest bedroom, and nothing special in the laundry room. She even checked the bathroom, and she did find something…gross.

Giving up on her search, the defeated Lily went back to the main room. In frustration, she dropped her hand against the couch. However, instead of hitting the soft cushions below her, Lily’s hand collided with that of a sleek, white box. Inside it contained a bulky piece of jewelry.

“This is it? Is this supposed to be my gift?” Lily said with a bittersweet tone. On one hand, she was delighted to have found something that she perceived to be her gift. On the other hand, she was disappointed that her gift was so…ugly.

“Well, I guess Percy did his best…” Lily said trying to admire the necklace. “Maybe it’ll look better in me?”

With that, Lily went to the closest mirror, and proceeded to clasp the necklace around her neck…
