My Naughty Lover ✔️

Chapter 50

Scarlette's pov

"There he is." she says pointing towards the other side of the room.

I force myself to look to where she is pointing towards to when I notice a very handsome boy smilling widely with some people. He has fair skin and he has dirty blond hair just like his mother. He is wearing a black suit as well and it looks very good on him. Okay.. I'm out of here, I think.. He is really looking to be of the same age as mine. I won't deny, he is cute.

"Shane." The lady calls out and her son, whose name seems to be Shane, turns in our direction and starts walking towards us. Is he a prince? Do I hear horse running and a melodious sound in my head? So lost in my thoughts that I don't realise, he is already standing beside me. He is so tall and he smells so good. Ladies, if a guy smells good, it's not our fault to admire is it?

"Hello." he smiles, showing his right dimple. So, he has dimples too.. Not that, I'm crushing on him..

"Hey son, how are you?" My dad asks as he smiles widely at him. Does dad know him?? Okay.

"I'm fine, how are you, Mr Grey?" he asks with his soft voice. Okay! Definitely a prince.

"I'm fine. Meet my daughter, Scarlette." dad introduces and he turns his stare to me with his blue ocean eyes before suddenly taking my hand and bringing it to his lips and he kisses it. What-the??

"Hello my lady." he smiles at me. Okay, I think, I just died. Out of embarassment, I think!

"Uhh, hey." I say, feeling shy all of a sudden.

"My my! Aren't they cute together?" The lady exclaims.

"I think, you are scaring the girl, Pamla." the man who was here all this time, finally talks.

"No. Of course not!" the lady answers back to her husband. "Anyway, we should let the kid have some fun, let's go." she says to her husband and they both leave.

"I'll go meet Margarette in the meanwhile. Have fun kids." Dad says and he also, leaves. This traitor!

"So, you aren't from here, are you?" Shane asks and I nod,

"I'm from New York. I just don't live here anymore." I tell him and he nods.

"Where are you currently staying?"

"In Toronto, Canada." I say and he teases,

"Oh, I didn't know that Toronto was in Canada." he smirks.

"Well, be thankful that I told you." I roll my eyes.

"Haha, feisty." he says and suddenly I recall something.

"Woww fiesty aren't you?" he smirks.
"Shut up." I say angrily.
"Well judging your clothes I thought you were going to clean the school." he mocks.

"Hello! Earth to you?" Shane says and I pay attention to him.

"Yeah?"

"I said that we should get going, the ceremony is about to start." he says and I follow him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, a big round of applaud for the best management of the year, Mr Christian Grey." the host says and everybody starts to applaud. I watch my father walking to the stage and receiving his award.

"Mr Grey, a few words for your dear colleagues and friends, please."

"Today, it feels so much better to know that my daughter is present with me celebrating my success. I can finally say that I'm happy really knowing that one of my own is participating with me on this big day.  Nothing is impossible in life. I was once, a poor person, looking for job everyday to survive and now look at me, I can practically own anything but yet I prefer peace and I don't need to brag about my wealth. I just want to say that if you want to achieve something in life, go for it. Thank you very much." dad says and I feel overwhelmed with each words of his. I clap for him and so does the other people.

"Your father did quite the impossible, huh?" Shane who was sitting next to me, says.

"Yes. It's so good to see him in this status today." I say honestly.

"I'm glad for you guys." he smiles at me.

"Thank you, Shane." I smile back and he stares at me.

"You're really pretty." he compliments and I blush.

"So have I been told, lately." I mutter, playing with my fingers.

"Haha. I like your humour."

"Me too." I say.

"Come, lets have a drink." he says and I nod. We walk towards the bar and we each get a drink.

"What would you like to drink?" he asks,

"Whatever you are having." I say.

"Two wines, please." he says and the man hands us each a glass of wine.

I sip on my drink and an acidic taste fills my throat. I look around and I see people starting to gather around.

"There will be a dance soon." he informs.

"Oh really?" I ask and he nods,

"Yeah, they usually dance with their partners. Slow dance to be precise." he says sipping on his drink.

"Oh okay. So you go to school?" I ask and he nods,

"Yes, you?" he asks and I nod.

"Cool. Boyfriend?" he asks and I shake my head.

"Really?" he sounds surprised.

"Well yeah. Why?" I laugh.

"Because, you are so pretty." he says looking at me.

"Well, it's complicated. The boy I like, doesn't like me." I complain while drinking my third glass.

"He must be dumb to reject a jewel like you." he says and we exchange gazes at each other. Suddenly the lights goes off and in the middle we can see the dance pit. People are dancing with their partners on a slow dance.
Shane moves closer to me and whispers,

"Wanna be my dance partner, today?" he asks extending his hand to which I gladly take.

"Sure." I say.
