Empire- An Au Hs Fanfic (COMPLETED)

Chapter 8

I was dressed after three hours of trying to be perfect. I was late, yes but I knew Jimenez wouldn't mind. I was wearing a body hugging black jumpsuit with an allusion neckline that had an opened back. I had straightened my hair and let it sit on my shoulders and did my make up to perfection but didn't over do it. It seemed natural since I used neutral colors but used a red lipstick to match the bottom of my black heels.

 I looked amazing and I knew it was going to drive him nuts as I slipped my phone in my wallets and had one of my guards drive me to the event since I knew Nick or Harry was taking me home tonight. I arrived late as ever but knew my brothers would arrive in an hour or so. 

I walked in with two of Jimenez guards and sat at the table I was assigned, feeling Harry gaze on me. One of the guards pulled my seat opened as I sat with the Jimenez family at their table. 

"Perdona a me por tardar." I said asking for them to forgive my tardiness and kissed their cheeks, telling them to sit. "Thank you Kelton." I said sitting down and we chatted for a few minutes and a plate of food was served infront of us. 

"You look amazing!" Manuel's wife Gina grinned from across from me on the round table. "Thank you! You do too." We were speaking spanish since they didn't know much English and I smiled at the two little girls who sat at the tables giggling at me.

"Hi Chico." I said and he grinned at me. "Good, you look amazing as ever." "Well I'm very flattered, you look handsome." I said before taking a bite of my chicken fajita tacos and we chatted for a little while before I heard my name being called from across the room. 

"I'm so happy you could make it!" Manuel said and I stood up, hugging him and pressed a kiss to his cheek the same time he did. "I wouldn't miss it for the world." I grinned and he let me finish eating, eating himself and we chatted. 

After we were done the tables were cleared and tall standing tables were placed in their place and the poker and many other gambling tables were placed with an empty floor in the center to just talk and loiter around and a bar in the far end of the room. 

"It was honestly a pleasure seeing you all. I should have some fun before my brothers get here." I smiled at them and walked away. I grabbed a glass of red wine from the trays passing around and greeted the people I knew. 

"Mr. Styles." I smirked at Harry who bit his lip as I approached the couch where him and the guys were sitting. "Boys, pleasure to see you all again. I didn't get to formally introduce myself earlier but I'm Leslie Ibarra." "Known as the reaper." Harry said and I laughed. "Known as the reaper." I repeated and their jaws dropped. 

"But you're so." Niall said pointing to me. "Hot!" Louis and Liam finished earning a dirty glare from Harry. "I'm extremely flattered. Thank you." I said and Harry patted the seat next to him.

 "I would but I actually have small business to attend to." "Can I offer you a dance?" Harry stood up and held his hand out to me. I smiled at him and chugged the rest of my wine. 

"One dance Styles, no silly business." I said putting my hand in and my glass on the glass table. "One dance." He smiled and lead me to the center of the floor where several other couples were dancing and one of his hands held mine while the other was around my waist. My free hand that wasn't in his was on his shoulder as we swayed to the soft music playing from the speakers. 

"What business would you rather tend to than me?" Harry asked with a cheeky grin. "Oh brother, anything." I joked and he licked his lips and looked at me with a hurt expression.

 "You dislike me that much?" "No, quite the opposite. i like you so much I need to keep my distance from you or I'll find myself wanting something that you aren't ready for."
