imagines ; mattia polibio

party

not smut

i glanced at myself in the tall mirror at the top of the stairs, the music from the party was blasting below. i admired by tall black heels, my long black silk dress with a slit at the top of the left thigh. my tan skin and long stick straight hair. my makeup looked amazing, and my jewelry complimented everything well. i smelled amazing. i don't care how self-absorbed i sounded, i looked good and i felt good too.

after one last look, i made my way down the spiral stairs and entered the party. many eyes were on me but the fierce look i gave made them all turn away.

i made my way over to the bar and was immediately handed a glass of rosé. i stood next to a table by the door and watched. i stayed here, drinking and watching for about 15 minutes until a man in a black and maroon suit walked in the front doors.

he was tall, tan skin with black/dark brown fluffy hair. he glanced over at me and we made eye contact for a few seconds. he smirked before turning his gaze back to the man next to him. his eyes were dark, and i could tell they had a story behind them.

him and the man he was with made their way over to the bar, stopping and chatting with a few guests along the way. i kept my gaze on him most of the time, except when i felt like he might see me.

he was so gorgeous, but there was something else about him. i couldn't put my finger on it, but i was drawn to him in a way i couldn't explain. i felt out of place standing alone at a table at my own party.

i walked back over to the bar and immediately the man tried to hand me another drink.

"no thank you." i said handing him my glass. "have you seen pablo at all tonight?" i asked the bartender.

"no ma'am, i haven't. i'm not sure if he's even come down yet- wait there he is with that man over there." sure enough, he was at the other end of the room talking to the man the guy with dark eyes was with.

"thanks andre." i smiled slightly before walking over towards them, my walk powerful and my hair swaying slightly with every step. i felt eyes on me once again but kept my gaze straight ahead.

when i was within 5 feet of pablo and the other man, they paused their conversation and looked at me. "pablo, when you have a chance can i speak to you for a moment?" i said while eyeing the man next to him who was looking my body up and down, his eyes stopping at places that made me uncomfortable. "my eyes are up here." i snapped at him, bringing him out of his trance.

"sorry ms." he spoke keeping eye contact.

pablo gestured to me and told the man to go to the bar. "what is it y/n?" he questioned pulling me to the side of the room.

"who's the guy that was with the man you were talking to earlier?" i said trying to read his eyes.

"who- oh mr. polibio?" he asked, glancing in his direction.

"yes, okay thank you. who is he? what does he do?" i spoke while staring at mr. polibio.

"he's a major investor from italy. visiting here for a month or two, doing work and things. his associate that i was talking to, lorenzo, said he loves greece and that's why he's staying so long. he's at the party tonight because your sister is trying to get him to invest in the company." he stated leaning against the wall.

"hmmm. my sister? she's talked to him?" i questioned.

"um- well yes, i think so."

"how old is he?" i said looking back at pablo.

"21, he's young. took over his father's company after he was shot and killed last year."

21. i'm 21.

"thank you pablo."

"anytime, ms. y/n." he said standing up from the wall. "why did you wanna know?" he asked before walking away.

"just curious." i smiled before walking in the direction of mr. polibio.

he was standing next to the doors and i walked over to some guests to the left of him. i never greeted guests unless i was forced to, so this was weird.

"hi mr. and mrs. andino." i smiled and reached my hand out to shake the mans hand and kiss the woman on the cheek. she smelled strongly of flowers and window cleaner. her husband was smoking a cigar, the smell making my nose burn.

i made small talk with them for a few minutes before i turned to my right to see mr. polibio standing alone next to the wall by the door opening. i slowly walked over to him, using my 'seductive business walk'.

he smirked at me when he realized i was walking over to him. "welcome to the party mr. polibio." i said when i got close enough to him, slightly smiling as i did so.

"thank you ms. y/l/n." he said slightly smiling back before finishing the drink in his hand and setting his glass on the table.

i felt butterflies form in my stomach, knowing he knew who i was. "i'm glad you could make it." i replied, stopping very close in front of him leaving only about a foot of space between us.

he noticed and softened his breathing, not tensing up at all. i lifted my gaze up to his eyes and held eye contact with him for a few seconds before looking to the left of him and poking my tongue on the left side of my cheek.

"me too." he said looking me up and down slightly, in a much more respectful way than that lorenzo guy. "i wanted to apologize for my friend, he told me he was checking you out and you 'made a rude remark'." he said using air quotes. "i'm sorry if he made you uncomfortable, most of my men see women as objects and treat them like that as well."

i brought my eyes back into his and felt my heart skip a beat. "maybe you should hire new men then." i spoke confidently, never breaking eye contact.

"maybe i should." he said glancing at my lips for a split second before bringing them right back up to my eyes.

i glanced at his hand that was leaning against the wall, his rings and watch visible. he was so hot. when i looked into his eyes again i felt then burning into me, i didn't want the feeling to stop.

"it's kind of crowded in here, you do want to get some air?" i asked gesturing towards the door to the balcony.

"sure." he smirked, putting his hand out for me to go in front of him.

i nodded and walked along feeling his gaze on me the whole time. i stopped at the door and before i could grab the handle i felt his left hand wrap around my waist as he outstretched his right arm to open the door for me.

i thanked him and walked to a table at the far right corner of the balcony.

"here, it's a little cold." he said taking off his jacket and handing it to me. i saw his muscles through his maroon button up shirt. the two two buttons were undone and he handed me the jacket as he pulled out my chair.

so he's hot AND nice.

"thank you." i said taking the jacket for him and wrapping it around my shoulders, smelling his lingering cologne on the sleeves.

"so, tell me about yourself mr. polibio." i said smiling as he sat down in the chair opposite mine.

"call me mattia."
