Pure Perfection

JULIANA'S POV

I placed the cucumber on the chopping board and viciously started chopping, pretending it was a certain body part of Tyberias'.

"Calm down, Juliana. The cucumber didn't do anything to you" Maria chuckled as she began frying the chicken.

It had been about a week since Tyberias called things off and I hadn't spoken a word to him since through leaving home early and coming back late.

I heard the door bell ring, snapping me out of my thought.

"Do you mind getting that? I don't want to burn the chicken." Maria said and I washed my hand and went to open the door.

I slowly opened it to reveal a slim blonde girl who was dressed rather provocatively in a short bright pink dress that made my eyes hurt. I internally cringed when I saw her lips that had obviously been enhanced far too much giving her a permanent duck face look.

"Can I help you?" I asked

She glanced at me up and down before scoffing at my grey leggings and white tank top.

"You must be the help. Go fetch me Tyberias right away, will you?" She said and began checking her fake nails.

Just when I was about to give her a snarky reply I heard a someone speak. "She's not the help. She lives here."

I turned around to see Maria staring down at the white chicks look alike.

"Lives here. I see Tyberias has started housing the needy. I always knew he was a benevolent man." She sneered.

"Did you come here for a reason, Vanessa?" Maria said

"I need to speak to Tyberias"

"He's not here at the moment"
