After lunch with Gabriel, I head out just to go relax. I go to an art gallery, but I couldn't focus, and I return to my apartment. Getting back home, I plop down on my sofa. I kept thinking about that girl, and what she really wanted.
My phone rings, interrupting my thoughts. I try to pull it out of my pocket, and I feel something else. Her earrings. I had slipped them into my pocket earlier. I stare at the earrings in my palm. They're vintage but beautiful. I couldn't bring myself to throw them away.
I open one of the drawers and place the earrings there. After the call, I change into my workout clothes, and get on the treadmill. I just want to take my mind off things. Dad forcing me into a marriage with a girl that I'd probably never love even if we we're stuck together with glue, trying to get him to see my worth, without forcing him into any decisions, and other stuff kept bothering me.
The thing is, there are a lot of vultures amongst the shareholders. If dad leaves the company to any of them, it'd be over. Everything we struggled to get for years would be gone. I can't let that happen.
While on the treadmill, an image of the girl from last night suddenly flashes in my mind. It's a bummer I didn't get to see her face properly. She'd left an impression on me. I couldn't get her scent or her voice out of my head.
Last night while I was with her, I was glad.
"Seems like there's a person to create a spark in my life now that I'm back to Houston". I thought to myself as I rained kisses on her beautiful body.
To me it was the perfect attraction. I just didn't expect her to be that kind.
I brush my thoughts off, and focus on working out. When I'm done, I hit the shower. I felt refreshed after working out. I start to head to the kitchen to make dinner, then my phone rings.
It's Bianca. She's probably calling to know if I was done talking to my dad.
"Hey baby. You done? I'm starving - can we go?". She says.
I sigh. "Something came up I can't leave now. Let's talk tomorrow Bianca".
"Um....okay. There's something else. Your dad needs us to attend this function in three weeks. I was hoping we could go shopping....together?". She asks.
"Sure. Fine. Whatever". I reply.
"Really? Okay. Yayyy!". She excitedly hung up and I breathe a sigh of relief.
I toss the phone on the sofa, and head to the kitchen.
After I finish dinner, I spend hours searching for a way to get an investor. I find little to no useful information. I get frustrated.
A few days pass by, and before I know it, it's three days to the event. Bianca calls me and we meet up. I know it's for the paparazzi, but I don't care.
We spend hours at the boutique, but the paparazzi couldn't seem to get enough pictures. I clench my jaw. I hate this kind of popularity. Bianca buys dozens of dresses and shoes, and it's just a one day event that requires one outfit.
This is what I meant when I called her dumb. She only knew how to spend her daddy's money on needless things.
I help her take some of the bags to the car.
Suddenly, she trips over her heels and I catch her to prevent her from falling. Then I realize she did it on purpose for the paparazzi. This would definitely be all over the internet by tonight.
Pls y'all don't forget to vote and comment. I love y'all from the heart of my bottom
Thanks ♡
