OLIVIA

She looked stunning, I couldn't take my eyes off her. Her navy blue dress accentuated her curvy figure, her ginger hair was curled to perfection while her makeup was mild but it made her features pop. Her smooth skin looked flawless and I just had to sudden urge to just run my hands through her hair and look into her beautiful hazel eyes.

I snapped out of it when I heard Mr. Grant mention her name.

"Give it up for my beautiful daughter Sarah" there was an eruption of applause while I just stood there frozen in awe of her beauty.

"Thanks Dad, thank you all for coming. I'm very happy to see a few familiar faces and also a few new ones. I'm looking forward to having a great time with you all. So let's make a toast"

Her voice was just so velvety and soft. Everyone raised a glass including me then she continued her speech.

"A toast to prosperity and success. It doesn't matter what anyone says, if you wanna do it and they say no, throw a big middle finger in the air and say I'm going to do what I love and what I'm desired to do...I mean look at me now. So this goes out to all the people who are doing their own thing on their own terms and doing a damn great job at it"

The place was filled with smiles and laughter and everyone drank. She got down from the podium then that's when the mingling began. I just went back to the same spot I was at before the speech, just watching Harry.

"Why don't you just talk to people, you look lazy" he whispered angrily in my ear.

"Ok one, I don't know anyone in here and two, what the fuck am I supposed to possibly make small talk about? I was pissed because I was exhausted and he just doesn't give 2 flying fucks about that. The whole reason I don't wanna leave is I want to stay out of respect.

He just rolls his eyes and walks away to go talk to an old lady who looks like she looks down at people like their her peasants or something. A waiter was walking by with a tray of champagne...I took two, why not? I needed it right after I finished my first. I gulped down the both of them and closed my eyes just waiting to feel something.

"Woah what's got you pissed?" I heard the same soft voice come from infront of me. I opened my eyes and there she stood. She looked even more beautiful when she's closer, I was so hypnotized by her beauty that I didn't even realize that she was talking until I saw her lips moving.

"Oh, more like "who" " I said looking away. I didn't want to seem rude by trying to get drunk so I stopped drinking. I sat down at the table reserved for us, looking at her stare at me in concern. "Is this seat taken?" She asked but I signaled for her to go ahead and sit. She placed her glass down and faced me.

"Ok now tell me what's wrong because from the looks of it, I can tell you've had a shitty evening." She smiled

"I'm just really tired" I said placing my head down on the table. I looked up and saw her looking at me with concerning eyes, like she's telling me to continue and she won't take no for an answer.

"Did something happen?" Her tone changed as if she was ready to charge at anyone who tried to even look at me too hard. I don't even know her that well and I feel like I could poor out everything to her.

"Was it my idiotic brother that literally can't do shit right?" She said to me like its a normal, every day thing.

"This morning I couldn't even get a good amount of sleep at all because of him. And now my eyes hurt, my nipples are hard because I drank so much and I have a raging headache."

I felt a hand on my chin, I looked in her direction when she whispered in my ear "I can fix that".

My eyes opened widened in shock, I was feeling things I didn't think I could...especially for a woman. I took a deep breath and turned my head towards her direction. I looked at her, deep into her gorgeous eyes, just letting myself fall into her beautiful features.

She was much more beautiful up close and personal. Her lips look so plump I can't help myself but lick mine just thinking about how they would feel against my lips. Her mouth curled up into a smirk. "You're staring sweetheart" she said. My eyes met hers and I was just....speechless.

"What's going through your head?" She whispered, lips inches away from mine. "I uh-" I stuttered. I was too deep into her eyes I couldn't speak. She is breathtaking.

"You're gorgeous" I said. She smiled.

"So what's going through your head is I'm gorgeous?" She asked tilting her head a little to the side.

"Yes" I answered almost immediately. She chuckled.

"What do you say we get out of here?" She said to me. I got out of my trance and sat up straight. "But, won't they suspect that you're gone...I mean it's your event" I told her.

"Trust me, my father has hone 8 glasses of champagne already plus he smoke 3 cigars, he won't notice a thing" she said getting up and holding out her hand towards me.

I looked around and saw that Harry was busy talking with what looks like his new friends, with a cigar in between his fingers and a glass in his other hand. He was laughing and had a huge smile on his face like he was enjoying himself.

Fuck this.

I held her hand and stood up, she smiled at me and walked forward with me behind her hand in hand, heading towards the exit.

While she was walking I kept thinking, about how the way she spoke to me. So soft and with so much confidence at the same time.

I focused my gaze at her infront of me and smiled to myself. 

I can tell this is going to be a fun night.
