Perfect Two {Completed}

•Chapter Nine•

I stared at the girl in the mirror. Dressed in a midnight black dinner gown that hugged her body in all the right places, her hair neatly tied in a bun and decorated with white pearls.

Face was lightly touched with powder and a light lip gloss.

I look hot!

I giggled. I took one last glance at the mirror and sighed. I felt a bit nervous about the dinner, especially because I was going as Carl's date.

I heard a knock in my door and debated whether or not to open it, cause I knew already who was waiting behind that door.

Sighing and mustering up enough courage, I walked stiffly to the door, and with one last sigh, opened it.

"Damn", he teased and I rolled my eyes. Though I wanted to say the same about him. Yeah he looked different. I didn't see him as the kind who'd pick a snow white suit, blue tie and white shoes to match. His blonde hair was jelled Nd styled to look more mature and formal.

In summary, he looked like an angel. 

I smirked while looking him over. "It's not Everytime I see you in a suit"

"Well I'm practicing. I actually hate wearing these things", he winced, emphasizing his point as he dragged his collar.

"Hold on....", he dragged and looked at me. "You trying to say I look hot?", He smirked again. "Maybe", I shrugged.

"Well you look beautiful Sugar", he complimented with his cute dimples smile which made heart do a double summersault.

That's dangerous right?

"We should meet up with your parents"

"Yeah", I sighed and closed the door behind me. "Shall we?", He asked, bowing like a butler and I chuckled. "We shall"

"Oh darling! You both look like angels!", Mom exclaimed. "Wow", Dad added with a slight smirk. Mom was dressed in a red gown that stopped just above below her knee and a red shoe to match. She added a little makeup to highlight her features. Whilst Dad, dressed in his midnight black suit, trousers and shoes to match and his hair neatly brushed.

"Thank you", Carl replied. "We better get going though. The dinner starts in an hour", Dad informed before getting into the car.

Well.....here goes nothing.

*********

"You kids have fun. Your mom and I will be on the other side of the hall", Dad said before taking mom's hand and walking off with her.

The room was filled with elites, all talking about business. It was hard spotting youngsters but yeah they were present. The music played softly and some moved to the beat.

But something else caught my eye. It was a huge table filled with all sorts of food, fruits and drinks.

Heaven!

"Carl Ashton?", I snapped my head towards the direction of the voice and noticed a man in black suit. "Mr. Owens!", Carl exclaimed with a chuckle. "Wonderful running into you here", Mr. Owens said with a smile.

"You are one smart kid. I heard a lot about you from Mrs. Tate. You're both business partners right?", He added.

"Yes we are"Carl replied and the man nodded. "Well you can ask anything of me, anytime.". He said, giving Carl his business card before continuing. "I love your Apple pie. Great taste", he commented.

"Thank you", the man's eyes then landed on me and it immediately sent shivers down my spine. Why did he decide now to notice me!

"Speaking of great taste....", he trailed off as his eyes narrowed and scanned me. "You are Daniels daughter. Am I right?", I gulped and nodded slowly.

"Nice to meet you sir...", I greeted stiffly and his frown was replaced with a wrinkled smile. "Wonderful!, Are you two dating?!", His face held so much awe and excitement it surprised me.

"Yes we are", Carl replied almost immediately whilst I glared at him. The man looked between us with a smile. "well it is good to be young.", He chuckled. "I'll be in touch Mr. Ashton.", He said before waving us and walking away.

"We're dating?", I scoffed the second the man was out of sight. Carl smirked and shrugged. "Well we are here as couples"

I rolled my eyes. "By the way, you know a lot of people here don't you?", I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me. "Well, when you're into business, you get to know a lot of people with good money", he smirked.

"Mr. Ashton!"

Oh c'mon!

We both turned to the direction of the voice to notice a woman, middle aged, wearing a bubble pink colored loose gown, jewelries decorating her neck and a face well caked in makeup.

"Mrs. Evans", Carl greeted with a slight bow of his head. "Oh!, I'm so happy to see you again. Come, I have some people I want to introduce you to", she said and immediately grabbed Carl's hand as I watched her drag him into the crowd.

But I didn't miss the apologetic look Carl shot at me.

I sighed. Words couldn't describe how much I loathed that woman in just a few seconds of looking at her. She made a horrible first impression.

I looked around the room and smiled when my eyes landed on the table filled with eatables.

Come to mama!

As I took a step forward, I bumped into something.

Oh sorry.... someone.

"I'm so sorry", I quickly apologized and looked up. With a gasp I took three steps back and had a good look at the person before me.

"Hey Alex", he smirked as his tongue ran over his lips. His eyes devoured my body and I could see the disgusting look they had in them.

Lust.

"What are you doing here?", I asked shakily.
"My father happens to own the biggest Casino in Italy ", he replied whilst his eyes kept undressing me.

Yeah in his dreams! Wait.... really?!

"You look sexy tonight", he complimented, his eyes still fixed on my body. "I wish I could say the same", I shot back and he smirked.

Stop smirking, it only looks good on Carl!

"How about I get you a drink?, Something with alcohol", I scoffed. "No thank you.", I replied and caught his eyes staring at my chest.

"Keep your eyes to yourself West", I warned with a glare. "Or the only thing you'll be seeing is blood  as they roll on the floor". I was expecting a cool exit or cool-walk-away scene, but instead got pulled back by the dick.

"You're coming with me sexy", he said as his grip got tighter on my arm. "Stop!", I winced in pain.

Why isn't anyone noticing this!

"I swear to God West, if you don't -", he cut me off by pulling me closer to his chest, his breath fanning my neck and his hands on my waist.

At that second, all I could think of doing was throwing up on his expensive suit.

"I'll have you. Even if it's by force", he whispered before he started to drag me towards a door. "West!", I hissed.

"Stop!", I added, but he still didn't stop.

"West!", I hissed again before I felt a soft and firm grip on my other arm and watched as Zeke's hold on my arm was so easily pulled out.

"What the-", Zeke Cursed and paused the second his eyes landed on the person by me.

"Get lost", Carl warned with a death glare and a clenched jaw.

Oh praise baby Jesus!, Was all I thought.
