ICE (on hold)

Chapter 9

The next night I stood in my room looking at myself in my body length mirror. I wore a royal blue strapless gown with diamond stilettoes. I curled my hair for the occasion pinning most of the back up in a bun. I was beginning to feel nervous remembering the last time I went somewhere with Maurico. Would tonight be the same? I hope not.

Maurico picked me up in a limo greeting me at my front door after getting my address. If you asked me I thought the limo was a little over the top. That is until we pulled up to this enormous mansion. I was screwed! Leading me to the door I couldn’t help but notice the confidence flowing off of Maurico. He held his shoulder back and head high while the butler open the door for us. We were taken into this wide room after walking down a long hallway. The place was filled with people all dress in their best attire. Tables lined up the walls with food and fruit another with Champaign. Butlers also walked around serving people while music played softly in the background. Maurico took my arm and linked it with his starting to walk through the crowd. Handing me a drink it wasn’t long before Maurico was being attacked by different people. I stood off to the side not really knowing what else to do.

“Rather boring isn’t it,” a familiar small voice interrupted my thoughts. Looking over my shoulder I couldn’t help but feel a little relieved to see Bella. She wore a green gown that fit her perfectly. Just like her brother, Bella was gorgeous.

“Yes. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I have no clue what there even talking about. I zoned out a long time ago,” I said laughing a little. Bella laughed to.

Motioning for me to follow her with her finger we began to journey deeper through the crowd. “Nothing of importance,” she informed me once the crowd was beginning to thin. Reaching the red stain glass double doors I notice we were heading outside to the back porch. Bella grabbed us two more glasses before stepping outside into the night air. “So Lakita, tell me about yourself. I know what you do but what else are you into? Bella asked wasting no time to interrogate me.

“Nothing really just dancing,” I replied.

“Stripping,” she corrected. “No offense Lakita but to them people in their, there is a difference. Maurico likes you I can tell but I hope he knows what he’s doing,” Bella said looking through the window at the party.

“Maurico and I are just friends,” I assured her.

Sipping from her glass she smiled. “Sure.”

“I’ve been looking for you,” Maurico stepped out onto the back porch walking over to his sister and me. “Bella,” he said once he reached her pulling her into a hug.

“Hello brother,” Bella said kissing Maurico on each cheek.

“You look lovely tonight,” Maurico added moving closer to me after letting his sister go.

“Thanks. I see Frankie waving me down. I’ll see you guys later,” Bella began to walk away before she stopped facing us. “Hope to see you again,” Lakita she said with a smile.

“Guess she likes you huh?” Maurico said once his sister was back inside. “Do you want to get out of here? I’ll go crazy if I stay a minute longer,” he joked. Regardless I quickly nodded my head happily he felt the same way I did. We both burst out laughing before walking back inside to leave and we would of made it to if a certain women wouldn’t have stop us.

“Maurico darling, how are you?” Paulina asked pulling him into a rather tight hug. When she pulled away she kissed his cheek as her eyes landed on me. “Lakita nice to see you again,” something in eyes told me differently as I nodded not bothering to reply.

“We’re well Paulina but we were just leaving actually…” Maurico tried to explain.

“Awww, but I just got here. Are you going to leave me all alone? She asked pouting. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

Maurico being a gentleman as usual stayed for another hour before saying goodnight to Paulina. She cried as usual but reluctantly said goodnight to. I was never so happy to be back in the limo when we finally reached it. Maurico seem so to because as soon as we took off he attacked me.

Pulling me onto his lap quickly his hand started to inch up my dress as his other began to unzip his pants. ”You looked so beautiful tonight,” he whispered as I slide down him slowly. “I couldn’t wait any longer.” Taking his face into mines I kissed him while running my hands fiercely threw his hair. I loved this feeling. Maurico made it as quick as he could. He knew that we didn’t have to long before we would arrive back at my place. Even then he still wanted me but had to resist for the night knowing he had work to do in the morning.

Walking me to my door he picked me up as we reached it kissing me passionately goodnight. “I’ll see you tomorrow night,” he promised before leaving me on my doorstep.
