The sound of heels clicking against the tiles, brought my attention from the iMac I was working on to the elegant beauty that swayed her way into my small office. She walked with nothing but confidence, although- who could blame her. Anyone wearing louboutin heels, designer peach dress which hugged their body and a radiating shine to them would indeed walk with confidence.
"Evei-"
"Surprise!"
This was just that, after talking to her two days ago she mentioned that she had a lot on her agenda but she will definitely be here for me when they were complete. I didn't expect to see her until the end of this week or at least the beginning of the next.
Getting up I embrace her in a hug. "I wasn't expecting you to be here so soon."
"I know, but I had my agent reschedule my shoots and interviews. You were so down C I couldn't let you be gloomy on your own even through that amoral ass doesn't deserve your tears."
She took a seat opposite from me at my desk. "Listen, you might not want to hear this but- you do know that they are plenty of men with good standards out there, right? It will be easy to get over that imbecile!"
"I was about to walk down the isle to that man in two months and three weeks, even though he hurt me I can't just forget about him especially when almost everything reminds me of times we spent together. I probably sound pathetic but that's just how I feel."
She sigh dramatically. "I might not have complete understanding in what you are saying, I've never had a solid relationship like you did therefore I can not determine whether or not you're being pathetic or just afraid to let go of that sucker."
Evei was right, she was known as a player ever since third form when she saw how Cameron Mc'Nally played three of our friends the same time without them even knowing they were being played. She did most men dirty without any feeling of remorse, I'm afraid that when the right one come along she won't even recognise him.
"How about you, Micah and I go clubbing tonight?" She ask cheerfully.
"Tonight is the grand Hope Foundation Charity ball and I have to attend. My boss is also having a meeting in," I check my watch, "the next ten minutes. Which I'm sure she'll be discussing, rain check?"
The Grand Hope foundation Charity was held every year at the Sun Gold hotel in West Hollywood, for children with disabilities and elderly persons who suffered from Alzheimer and Dementia.
The first time I attend this was thirteen years ago with my father he played a big role in supporting anything that has to do with Charity. Last year instead of attending with my father I went on behalf of Flare.
It was necessary for a few members to attend every year.
"Most definitely, we can have lunch with Micah at your favourite restaurant after the meeting." Evei announce looking up from her iPhone.
"KFC?"
"Of Course not fat ass I was referring to that Italian diner five minutes away with those hot Italian waiters. It's been so long since I visited."
I smile at the woman in front of me,"I thought you said my favourite restaurant?"
"Well... don't you have a meeting you should be heading to?" She says giving her magazine cover smile.
"Just stay here and be comfortable until I return."

"How about Mandy? I heard that she is in town for two weeks." My good friend Leonardo Cambellin says as he continue to scroll through my contacts.
He took it as his main priority in finding me a date for tonight function, even though I am very much capable of finding my own date. I could not take one of the two women I brought home last night, for I wouldn't want to be seen with women with such poor personality at a high profile event. Sure they were beautiful but it didn't take much for them to spread their legs like it was no body's business and they seemed to have lost a couple brain cells.
Mandy Deville is a two time Oscar nominated actress. She is a daddy's girl, rich and spoil. I've spent more time between those legs than Lionel Messi on the football field. She was good in bed and that was that, nothing more nothing less. I felt my !ick twitch with the thought of her.
She is beautiful, smart even though she rarely shows it. She would be a good date for tonights' event.
"Yes, sure let me call her." Realising I sounded desperate I try to rephrase my sentence, "I-"
Leo laugh as he throw the phone over to me, "Don't stress bro I know that you find it hard to keep it in your pants, not to mention the history you've shared with Mandy."
I flip him off before placing the phone to my ear. Leo is dating the same woman for more than a year now and he never once cheated on her. I have a feeling I'd have to attend a wedding soon.
"Giovanni? What a surprise." Her silk like voice purrs through the phone after the second ring.
"Hello Mandy, I heard you were back in LA."
"I am." She confirms, "I'm here for a few parts in the series of the new 90210 after that I'm off to Paris. I'm assuming you did not call to check up on me Giovanni, so what can I do for you?"
"I want you to be my date tonight." I told her.
She laughs clinically,"Are you serious? You haven't contacted me in a year and all of a sudden you're demanding I go on a date with you and I'm sure after you'll want me to get on my knees for you too, right?"
That was unexpected, what had gotten into her or what didn't.
Two can play the same game, I always get what I want and tonight I want her. There was no need to call and check up on her when there are social medias and I'm a busy man.
"I'll give you that BMW hybrid you wanted."
"My father already got me that for Christmas. How about you help me to get one of those house in your estate. I absolutely love them and I know how hard it is to get one."
I own sixty five percent of the most popular estate company here in LA where all the celebrities want to live which makes it difficult for some of those who wants a house there.
"Fine. I'll look into it, just text me the details and I'll pick you up around six. Dress code formal."
"Okay I'll see you then." She says before disconnecting the call.
