16 | Love Of My Life

⁑𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍⁑

WARNING: SEX SCENE

"All you have to care about is me not ripping that dress apart and kissing every inch of you." That's what I've wanted to do all night. When we were back at her place, the moment I saw her walk down those stairs I knew, till the day I die.

This woman was going to be the love of my life. I was going to make sure of it. "I don't want you to upset anymore okay?" I rubbed her cheek" I see a small smile tug at her lips.

"That's what I was looking for" I rub her bottom lip. Kissing both her palms, I bring her closer to me by wrapping my arm around the small of her back, "Let's show these motherfuckers" I kiss her temple and we make our way down.

Many of the people we had invited had arrived, when we got to the bottom of the staircase, one of the waiters appeared with two glasses of champagne on a trey.

I made sure they had the special red wine Hazel loved, handing her one and one for myself I see her take a small sip, savouring the sweet taste, "This is just what I needed" She mumbled.

I was about to reply when I see Valentino and Peter approaching us, "Hey man wassup" We all did our manly handshake, "Haze how are you" While they both engulfed Hazel in tight hugs.

"Hey guys, how are you?" Hazel takes another sip of her wine, "Good, you disappeared for a while huh?" Valentino waggled his brows, making Hazel giggle, "Mhm, been real busy" Her eyes move over to me.

"Oh, we know" Peter chuckles, "Is JJ here?" I could hear the concern in her voice. I hope he is here, the last time I saw him was at the hospital but thankfully we spoke on the phone not so long ago.

"Yeah, actually he is..." Valentino scanned the crowd until he pointed to the bar that was in the far corner of the room on the other side, "I'm gonna go say hi to JJ okay?" Hazel pecked me at the lips before walking away from us.

Once she was gone, both Peter and Val were gaping at me, "Spill. It. Now." They both demanded.

I told them everything, when I went to her place, what happened in her office, asking her to be my girlfriend. They all congratulated me with a slap on the back, "Wow man, I'm happy for you" Peter took a long drink at his champagne.

"Thanks, man, all I gotta do now is...make sure to hold onto it and well, help Hazel too. You were right Val, she's changed...Her walls are high but with my sleek moves, I'm pretty sure I can get over them" They both snicker.

The boys and I spoke for about a couple of minutes when I see Ms Rodrigo approach us, "Why, hello gentlemen. Lovely evening Mr Smith" We all say our hello's, "What do we owe the pleasure, Ms Rodrigo?" Says Val.

"Oh just scoping out the place, I don't plan on bidding or any such thing. But, just wanted to have a little chat with Mr Smith" She glanced in my direction.

I gave the guys a nod. They walked away, leaving me and Ms Rodrigo, "What seems to be the problem?" I raise the rim of the glass to my mouth, before taking a sip she speaks, "I just would like to know why there was a cancellation with our last meeting?"

Her manicured fingers ran up my arm, and back down. Feeling extremely uncomfortable I take a step back, keeping a good two feet between us, "I was busy. We can sure reschedule, unless...this is business we are talking about?"

It wasn't.

Ms Rodrigo and I sort of had a small fling before Hazel came around I stopped calling, she never did, so I had assumed we were over, or whatever we had was done. "If your business-"
