Chapter 13 13
"All these things happened? And how dare he say that to you?!" Becca frowned, folding her hand
"I just need a glass of champagne" I rolled my eyes, clapping when I saw the audience clap.
"In 10 mins time they should be done with this whole event and we can go to get the champagne" She smiled, rubbing on my arms
So incase you're wondering, Becca and I were invited for this event. I didn't do the planning but I was part of the committee. They needed my help at a point and I just did and I was given credit because my name was added to the part of the committee who helped make this possible. But Becca was invited by God knows who. I wasn't paying attention when she told me who invited her.
Currently, I'm not emotionally stable. What Richard displayed yesterday is still in my head but I'm not letting it bother me. I mean, things like this could have been avoided if not for the nonsense hormones I have in my system.
"Let's go. Fast! fast!!" Becca tapped my thigh lightly, as if telling me to stand up
"They're done?" I stood up and made my way to the spot meant for drink.
"Red wine" Becca said to the bartender mixing the drink.
"I can't wait to get my beauty sleep. I've been stressed a lot" I rubbed on my forehead lightly.
"Are you sure you're not pregnant? Are you on birth control?"
"Pregnant?! Are you kidding me? Do babies now come without one having any sexual activity?" I took my drink from the guy and chugged it down immediately.
"And birth control?" She smirked
"Can't risk it. Still on it" I smiled
"Good. I need to use the rest room and also look around for a fish to catch" She winked at me and I just nodded my head. "Have fun!" She yelled.
"I bet I will" I muttered to myself
Sarcastically
I sat on the chair I found around. I need to keep this hot ass on the chair. It has tried.
"Hi Miss Vanessa"
I looked up to see Freddy. The guy that emailed me for assistance which I gladly took.
"Hi Frederick. Thank you for the invitation" I smiled politely
"No, thank you for accepting my invitation and thank you for your assistance" He smiled, pushing a cheque to me.
"Oh no. I won't accept it". Bitch I'm lying! You better not take that shit back.
"Please. Your last touch on the planning was what killed it. Accept this little token. I beg you"
Phew!
"Are you sure?" I pouted
Better not take your words back or the cheque
"Yes I'm sure. And I wish you a nice party. I need to go meet my date" He smiled sheepishly and I thanked him before slipping the cheque into my purse
Okay maybe coming here wasn't bad after all
Now, where do I find Rebecca. I stood up and head to nowhere in particular.
"Please can you move away?" A girly voice said to me, I guess
"Oh I'm sorry" I moved away from the exit door. I didn't even know I was standing there
"Miss Vanessa" I look up to see Richard. His arms wrapped around the lady that asked me to move away.
"Mr Blackwood" I said with a curt nod
"Sharing my event planner, am I?" He smirked
"I sure as hell know I'm not reserved for one person" I smiled politely
"Linda Beverly" The lady stretched out her hand and I shook it.
"Vanessa Willow" I smiled
"Who is your designer?"
"You'll have to call me privately. I don't think your date would be ready to wait" I smiled.
"Right. I'll text you. Complimentary card?"
"Ah! I didn't step out with it. Please take it from Mr Blackwood as we're business partners"
"Thank you, dear" She tapped my shoulder lightly and I nodded my head
"Come with a date?" Richards eyes raked my body
"I'll see you around" I smiled at them and made my way to the rest room.
I walked fast because I'm finding it hard to breathe already. Honestly, I don't know why I feel off today but I just hope nothing bad happens.
I took a deep breath. Arranged my hair, admired my attire one more time before turning to leave the rest room.
"Well, well..." Richard made his way inside and locked the door behind him
"Uhh i don't think this is the guys rest room" I looked around to be very sure that I am not at fault
"Yeah, I took your invitation." He leaned on the door
"What invitation?" I stared at him blankly
"Rest room. That was an invitation" He smirked
"Please move out of the door, Richard. I don't have time for this" I shook my head
"Did you come with a date? You ignored me"
"How is that your business?" I frowned
"It's an innocent question" He pulled me by my waist and buried his face in my neck, inhaling my cologne
"Where is your date?" I tried to break free from his grip but I failed
"You mean, one night stand" He said effortlessly
"You mean?"
"I mean, I'm going to fuck her tonight and that's all. No more communication" He cupped my ass.
"You're disgusting." I sneered
"But your body doesn't think so" He trailed his hand up my thigh
"Respect yourself" I used all my might to break out from his grip
"What's wrong cupcake? You don't want me to fuck her? You want to be in her position?" He smirked
"Next week"
"You'll be in her position next week?" He stared at me with confusion displayed on his face
"We're finalizing our deal and I don't want to see you ever again" I said sternly.
"Right. But you don't get a say. I will always be there bothering your life because we feel the same thing" He unlocked the door
"Speak for yourself -ow!" I yelled when his hand landed on my ass before leaving the restroom.
"Forgive me for being nasty. Keep your room and legs open. Might show up"
Urghhh
"Fuck you! Son of a bitch!" I yelled but I doubt he heard me because the noise was loud.
I tried calling Becca but I think her phone was on Do Not Disturb. I booked a ride and headed back home.
Immediately I got back home, I cooked myself something to eat, took a long bath and did a movie marathon which led to me sleeping on my couch.
I bet I was gonna regret sleeping on the couch later.
