You wake up in a luxurious bedroom not knowing how you got there. Your admiring the room and see a God of a man sitting on a chair nearby. Little did you know that man could change your life from better to worse.....
We arrived to the Hilton hotel that hosted the banquet and we all got out. Natalie checked us all in and we walked into the banquet hall. It was a huge ball room with gold colors everywhere. The ceiling was made of glass and the floor has some type of beautiful gold design. The tables around the dance floor were gold and white. Everything looked antique and yet new at the same time.
There were maybe 30 people already at the banquet. That wasn't a lot compared to the 150 people supposed to be arriving soon. I didn't know the purpose of the banquet, all I knew was that there were bunch of extremely rich people and celebrities that would probably look down on me.
As soon as we walked in Natalie headed to the kitchen to see if Sky needed anything. I think the real reason was to show Sky how sexy she looked. I would want to flaunt that body too if I had it. Now I wanted to hide mine since I felt huge....
"You want to go sit down?" Jackson asked me pulling me out of my thoughts. I smiled at him and he escorted me to a random table. I sat down and Jackson left to go get drinks.
I leaned back in my chair, relaxing my body for a few seconds. I honestly didn't want to make this night any more stressful than it had to be. All I had to do was smile, agree with whatever the people were saying and not make a fool of myself. That didn't seem so hard, but then again it sounded easier said than done.
Jackson came back over with a glass of water for me and what looked like champagne for himself.
"How do you want to mingle?" I asked Jackson who took a sip from his champagne. We were both on team don't want to be here.
"Let's wait till Nat comes back so we can show her that we're actually trying to be here." He replied. I agreed and drank some of my water. I had this really nervous feeling in my gut that tonight would be a complete and total disaster but I didn't know why.
"Here she comes." Jackson said.
"Why aren't you guys mingling?" Natalie asked disappointed at us.
Both Jackson and I sighed and got up from the table. Natalie knew at least two people here so she introduced us to them first.
"Jackson, Amber, this is Miriam miriam_olaxx and Jamie Lucas." Natalie announced gesturing to a young couple. The woman was 5'3, with heels and had long dark brown hair and Carmel skin. She wore a navy blue cocktail dress and black heels. She had a sort of natural model sense to her. The guy was somewhat taller maybe 5'5. He had a black tux and black shoes but his hazel eyes and short Fawn hair is what gave him his attractiveness.
Both Jackson and I shook Miriam's and Jamie's hands. The conversation starter began on fashion. Of course Jackson and I were introduced as a couple so his fashion sense just attributed to his passion of being on top of his game and looking good. I zoned out of the conversation and looked around the room. Everyone had someone to speak to it looked as though there was at least one person, like I that wasn't paying attention to the conversation happening around them.
"Yooo Ambs." Jackson said, bringing me back to reality once again.
"Oh I'm sorry." I said. Everyone was looking at me and since I didn't like the attention, I started blushing "What were you saying?"
"When is the baby due?" Miriam asked curious.
"Oh she's due September 17th." I answered.
"We'll he's going to be due very soon." Jackson chimed in. I ignored the fact that he was trying to fight me over the gender again and excused myself from the conversation. I walked over to the bar and got another glass of water. Pregnancy makes you really thirsty,
"Mhmmmmmmmmm. Aren't you a sight got a sore eyes." A deep voice said, I turned to my left. The man was tall maybe 6 feet and wore an expensive suit. I ignored his deep blue eyes staring a hole into my head.
"You have the wrong person." I said showing no emotion what so ever.
"Are you sure about that, because I don't think there's any other woman in the world who looks as beautiful as you in that dress." He said, practically purring his words. FREAK
"Thanks but no thanks."
"Oh come on, it can just be a one night stand, I have a room upstairs, we can sneak out." He said stepping closer.
I looked him up and down and chuckled "I don't want a one night stand with an alcoholic. It's only 7pm and you're already drunk. Pretty sad if you ask me pal." I said snorting and walked back to where Jackson was.
There were 3 more people involved in the group conversation now. The 3 people were introduced to me but I didn't really pay attention to their names or their conversation. I took a quick sweep of the room again and saw more and more people beginning to come in and converse with their social circles.
I noticed the age and height differences in couples and whom was flirting with whom. I also noticed the many couples whom didn't even look at each other once during their conversation with other people. They completely ignored their husband or wife.
I watched as a young woman, in a group close to us, threw champagne in an older man's face. The people in that group didn't look amused except this one guy. I couldn't really see his face because he was covered by security but when one of the security guards moved to the side. He laughed sending chills down my spine. As if noticing that I was watching he looked up at me. His skin......those eyes...
"Oh please baby Jesus in heaven let that not be him!" I prayed to myself as all air left my lungs.
