I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Six

It was after six in the night. Devin told me to be ready by seven so I was currently doing my hair. I made it into a bun before placing my small nub earrings in my ear. I decided on another black slippers that I had which had straps that reached up to my knees.

I found my black purse and put some items in it to make it feel heavy - persons do that all the time. I glanced in the mirror once more. Small waist, very visible hips and my cleavage was full on display. I hope I didn't overdress or dressed inappropriately because I couldn't live with that embarrassment.

I left the room and made my way downstairs. I slowed my steps when I noticed another man in a suit standing typing away on his phone. He had about the same height as Devin and he had a darker complexion to him. He was so deep in his phone that he didn't even notice my presence when I neared him.

"Hi", I say as his eyes met mine instantly. He looked me up and down before doing the last thing I expected.

Licking his lips.

I turned my head away with a deep groan. Why are men like this?.

"Hi beautiful, what's your name? I'm Hans, nice to meet you", he said showing off his pearly whites.

I didn't answer. I kept my mouth shut knowing full well that he was staring at me like a piece of meat. That's the thing with today's men - they don't know who you are yet they lust after you like there's always a possibility that you'll want them. I mean it's a natural instinct to admire someone pretty but that's not the way you approach them.

"You seem like you don't talk much. Are you Devin's girlfriend?", he then asked as his lips went into a thin line.

Before I could utter a single word I saw Devin coming down the stairs in the suit. He looked even better with his hair looking shiny and a small rose on the pocket.

"You look interesting",Hans said before they shared a manly hug.

"Nice to see you again bro, seems like you've met Vanessa", he said as Hans looked at me with the brightest smile I think I've ever seen. I didn't really want to be around him.

"Yes I have, is she your girlfriend?", he then asked pointing between the two of us

"What! No", Devin said laughing before reaching into his pocket for his keys.

"Let's go, we don't want to be late and oh, Vanessa you look beautiful".

I didn't have time to say thanks because he walked past us and we followed fast on his trail. He really doesn't want to be late for this party. A party that I was attending as well. He probably knows half the people that was going to be there.

I got into Devin's car and his brother got into his. It was a white Benz with a somewhat artistic painting on the car door. I guess he really wanted his car to stand out.

"You don't have to worry, it won't be as bad as you ought it to be. Just stay close to me and don't drink too much, the liquor is mixed personally strong. I don't want to see you wasted", he ended with a small laugh.

I smiled to myself as I looked out the window. I haven't drank alcohol in about a year now. When I use to dance I use to drink it alot because sometimes I wasn't exactly myself and I know if I failed at my job I would make Zed angry. Just thinking about his name made me feel a mixture of emotions.

Relax Vanessa.

I breathed in and out slowly. I shouldn't focus on anything else but tonight. I knew I was going to feel uncomfortable and unwanted but as long as I stay out of everyone's way I'll be fine.
