Reina's P.O.V
As soon as we went downstairs and turned the corner into the living room, I saw a ton of the girls dressed in fancy dresses and men dressed elegantly. I thought this was a prostitution ring, not a ball.
I saw Jack talking to a bunch of other men and when our eyes met he smiled and motioned me over to him. Ariana walked next to me and stood next to a man with beautiful blue eyes and dark hair that was gelled back. He had a champagne glass in one hand and when Ariana got closer to him he put his free hand around her waist and pulled her close to him, giving her a light kiss on the lips. "Good evening Mr. Grier." She greeted. She seemed generally happy and they were both smiling.
I stood next to Jack and he put his arm around my waist. He leaned in closer to me and whispered into my ear,"the auction starts in a few minutes and your potential buyers are the ones in this circle. I've hand picked them so be respectful and greet them." Before pulling away he gave me a kiss on my temple and continued chatting in the group.
I wasn't interested in anything they were talking about and soon enough Jack had another girl he had wrapped his free hand around. "So Reina," I heard a man say," what do you like to do for fun?" I looked up and saw a guy with brown eyes and dark brown hair. He smiled and I saw his beautiful dimples. I smiled back and responded," Well, Mr...."
"Mr. Maloley" Jack added. "I like painting and writing and I have a passion for reading, mr. Maloley." I finished. "I like süćking díćk" the girl next to me said, earning laughs from everyone but me and Jack. "Natasha" Jack said quietly, making Natasha apologize.
"Well let's get this started shall we?" Jack said. All the girls sat down at the massive dinner table. Jack grabbed me and led me to a seat that was at the end of the huge table. I sat down and then Jack signaled to my future 'owners' to exit outside. "that's where they're gonna debate and auction over you. The highest bidder gets you so don't get upset if you don't get the hottest one." Natasha said as she sat next to me.
"I won't be believe me" I chuckled. I knew she'd be a bonehead. servants came from the kitchen and began serving huge plates of food. I felt nauseous and I pushed my plate away. No one else was eating either, I guess you have to wait till the guys are finished discussing.
A few minutes passed before the men entered the room again. Mr. Maloley took a seat to my right and Jack to my left. "After a heated discussion," Jack paused "Reina goes to Mr. Maloley." Clapping erupted from everyone, and when I glanced over at Mr. Maloley he was smiling. I smiled back and excused my self.
I went upstairs and sat on my bed. I heard a knock on my door and then it opened. Mr. Maloley walked in. "I know this is new and everything, so I want you to take your time to adapt to this." He stated. "I'm Nate." He said while walking towards my bed. "I'm Reina. I don't think we properly met." I said while standing up and hugging him.
His hug was warm and comfortable. "also, I'd prefer if you called me Nate. Mr Maloley makes me seem like a teacher." I laughed. "Sure whatever makes you more comfortable."
"If you don't mind, I'm not really that much into parties and I'd like to leave early. So pack up a few things cause you're comin to my house for the weekend." He stated before giving me a kiss on the forehead and leaving.
I grabbed a duffel bag that was underneath my bed (probably for this) and put in underwear, a swimsuit, pajamas and day clothes. I walked downstairs and everyone was either eating or dancing or just socializing. I'm not that much of a party person, and I could tell Nate, I mean Mr. Maloley, wasn't either.
Ariana ran up to me. "Hey. Mr. Maloley is outside with Mr. Gilinsky. Be careful and have fun" she said before giving me a hug and shooing me outside. As soon as i stepped outside the cold wind hit my skin, giving me goosebumps almost immediately. Nate and Jack were talking next to a matte black Range Rover which was Nate's.
"Ah there she is" Jack said. I walked over to them and a servant took my bag and put it in Nate's car. Nate took off his tuxedo jacket and put it over my shoulders. Jack put his hands on my waist and gave me a look that said "be safe" and gave me a kiss on the cheek before letting me go.
Nate grabbed my hand and opened the passenger side door. After I got in he closed it and hopped into the car from his side. We waved goodbye to Jack as he waved back at us. I saw the house slowly disappear and my anxiety began to escalate.
Nate grabbed my hand and brought it up to his lips, gently kissing it. "its ok, I'm not gonna hurt you or force you to do anything you don't feel comfortable doing." He said, soothing my nerves. soon we were in front of his house. It was smaller then the mansion I lived in but still big with two stories and huge windows.
"We're here" Nate joked and opened his door. When I got out he grabbed my bag and my hand and we walked to his front door. He unlocked it and turned on the lights. The house resembled my own home, but not to the t like my room in the mansion.
We went upstairs and walked down a hallway with multiple doors. The 3rd door on the right had a lock and we went into the 4th room. It was a huge home theater room. "You can go pick a movie." Nate said while turning on the lights. I walked over to a computer that was rested on one of the couches and picked the Little Mermaid, my favorite movie.
"You might wanna change into something more comfortable." Nate smiled. "Follow me". I followed him back into the hallway where the 3rd door was unlocked and opened into a huge master bedroom. "I'll be downstairs making popcorn" Nate said but before he walked away I pulled him back. "Thank you, for everything Nate. I really appreciate you treating me so well." I shrugged. He smiled and I saw his dimples again.
I wrapped my arms loosely around his neck and leaned in closer to him. I felt him wrap his arms around my waist and lightly push me against the wall. I kissed him slowly at first and then it became more heated and passionate. He started kissing down my neck and soon I was out of breath.
His hands went underneath my shirt and I inhaled deeply because of his cold hands. He pulled his hands back and took a few steps back. "I'm gonna go make the popcorn now" he said, obviously flustered.
I sighed and went into the master bedroom, changing into some grey joggers and a black tanktop. I put my hair in a bun and picked up my clothes, neatly placing them back into the duffel bag. I smelt the popcorn being cooked and peered down the stairs. I saw Nate on his phone next to the microwave, texting someone.
I walked back into the home theater and sat down. after a few minutes Nate walked in with bowls of popcorn and drinks. He dimmed the lights and sat down next to me. I played the movie and he laughed. "What? I love the Little Mermaid." I said. "hey, I love it too i just thought you'd choose something like the notebook or something cheesy." He said in defense.
"Your cheesy." I joked while resting my head in his neck. I fell asleep halfway through the movie and only realized it when I felt Nate pick me up and tuck me into his bed. He gave me a kiss on the forehead and began to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?" I asked.
"I'm gonna go sleep in the guest room. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable." He responded
"Please stay with me?" I asked. He hesitated for a second and then climbed into bed next to me. He kept his distance until I grabbed his hand and pulled him closer. I rested his hand over my waist and snuggled closer to him. Nate kissed my shoulder and rested his head on it. "Goodnight queen." He whispered.
"Why do you call me that?" I asked
"Because Reina in Spanish means queen. And that's what you are to me." He responded
