  Lust nodded on the phone, twirling her blonde hair, giggling like a schoolgirl. She was laying on the old red velvet couch with her feet in the air. The Sin heard the staircase creaked next to her, not even looking up as a brown girl appeared, peeking at the Sin. "Who’s that?" The girl mouthed with big cute eyes, genuinely curious. Lust sighed, holding the phone from her ear. "Someone who actually gives me love and attention." "I also want love and attention," Envy walked past them, pouting. "Everyone loves you and you deserve all the attention you want!" Pride’s voice echoed through the house. Envy’s ears peeked up, rushing towards the voice, changing his original route. "Gina?" The girl immediately guessed right. Lust nodded, rolling her eyes, knowing she had to give the phone to her. "Baby," she said seductively. "I have to pass the phone to Princess. You should tell what you got for her birthday." The brown girl snatched the landline phone from Lust hopping on her lap with a oof sound from the Sin who didn’t try to even stand up. "Hello, Gina," the brown girl spoke, trying to sound casual. "You snatched the phone from Lust, didn’t you?" The woman’s voice sounded like she knew it already. The girl who went by the name of Princess in her home felt her cheeks warming up. That’s exactly what she had done. Living the way she did, the girl didn’t exact got a lot of presents. In the house she lived together with the seven Sins, they still try to give each other presents and love as much as they could, though. "It’s fine, Moon. I’m happy my MoonMoon wants to talk to me," Gina said, knowing the girl was too busy blushing to reply back. The brown girl’s name wasn’t Princess. It was just a nickname the Sins called her. Her real name wasn’t Moon either. She had never knew her real name. She had been without a name for five years before she had found a home and a name. She didn’t care she would never know her real name. She had a lovable family and a name she choose herself. She was happy, so why would she hang onto a name she would never know? "I was thinking about stopping by tomorrow and give you a gift. Its originally from Egypt." Moon squealed. "Are you in the neighbor? You know you can stay over any time, right?" The girl said, thinking the woman went and gone in a hotel, thinking they weren’t that close. She was always welcome into her home. "Sweetheart, I know that. I’m in the car, on my way to you from Forks. Real depressing town." The girl could breathe normal again, happy to hear that. "And you know I will defiantly sleep over if I’m staying in your town." Moon nodded. Her loose frizzy hair sticking up in all directions, not having it combed at all the night before. Is there a stronger word than regret? "You’re calling and driving?" Gina sighed, liking the way the girl was worried about her. She was one of the very few people she got herself acquainted with. Also, probably the only one who didn’t mind being close with the woman who had to return to a cold home. If she went home. The woman sat at the backseat, fiddling with a tread from that was loose from the black satin seats. It irritated the woman. Her eyes found her bodyguard’s. He was sitting next to the driver, but his eyes switched to her sometimes, seeing if the woman was alright. The woman nodded at him. "I’m calling and sitting in the backseat." She didn’t bat a eye at the stack of papers next to her. She would do it in the morning,or just the day before they had to be delivered. At least, she had the laptop on her lap. Progress, right? I mean, she was playing games, but still. It’s all about the progress. "What were you doing in Egypt?" Moon asked. "Getting your present," The woman said without missing a beat. The bodyguard glanced again at the woman. "You can’t talk about business with me?" Moon asked, knowing she shouldn’t pry, but damn the girl was curious. "Boring private business I can’t talk about," Gina sounded curtly. "But," she looked at the time quickly, frowning. "Why is such a girl like you awake this late?" She heard Moon sighing. "Did people break in again?" The woman sat up more straight, a angry pout on her face, genuinely worried and furious. "You know I will give you my body guards, right? For as long as you need them." Moon laughed, telling her she didn’t need them, "besides, they’re expensive," the girl added. "Who mentioned you paying? Naturally, I will be paying them." Moon shook her head. "I’m scared they will get hurt because of me, or that other rumors will spread. " The woman sighed, she really wished she could help. But, that was the only thing she could offer. "Let me know if you need any help," she then said, trying not to pressure her. The woman looked behind her, seeing the big company car riding behind them. The woman pulled the camera images up on her laptop. Watching the tomb shake even so slightly. "Thank you, for everything," Moon said, sounding so sincere. "I have to go now," Gina said. "Try to go back to sleep for now," Moon gave her a ’yes’ knowing damn well she wasn’t going back to sleep. "Goodnight, I love you," the girl chirped, truly meaning it. The woman wasn’t even like family. She was family. "This is why I love calling you," the woman on the other line laughed, telling the girl she loved her too and to tell the Sins she loved them, too, and couldn’t wait to see them again. Then they hung up on each other. Both couldn’t wait to see each other. "What should I cook for her?" The girl pondered, hopping off the Sin’s stomach, walking to the kitchen where Pride was gassing up a sad Envy who was chewed off by Gluttony. He probably tried to take his candy again. They were always at each other’s neck. When you put your eyes on Pride, the first thing you would notice were his beautiful white eyes, making you weak to the knees. Though his eyes were a bit different from each other. His right eye was white, but encircled by a black line.He had a dark complexion, making the Sin somehow even more beautiful, breathtaking. The man had delicious dark lips, the under lip lighter than the upper lip. A round septum piercing rested peacefully on his upper lip. Butt oh boy, when Pride smiled, you would do everything for him. The Sin had the darkskin adonis look going on. He had the heart of a lion and the soul of an angel. He was a bit muscular, with an almost perfectly symmetrical face and high cheekbones, complimenting his face. His hair were short and black, almost a similar hair type as Moon, though Pride had a short fro.  When you saw the Sin, you would feel drawn. Everybody did. Dare to say he was the most handsome Sin I’ve ever come across from. You, too? He nodded at Moon handing her the warm chocolate he was drinking from. The brown girl immediately sipped it, closing her eyes, humming. Her plump lips were covered with whip cream. She watched how Envy fell dramatically into Pride’s strong arms, telling the Sin how his life was over. The girl looked into the cabinets, wondering what she would make for her friend. She wanted to make a warm family dinner. She pushed her hair out of her face, claiming the hair elastic hair tie Pride had left for her. He had left a few necessary things for her behind everywhere wherever you could think of.  The girl tied her hair, thinking of a way to get the Sin to do her hair later. She wanted to look pretty for Gina.
