"Are you both ready we nee-" Damien stopped at the door glancing at our reflections.
Correction, gawking at Donna's.
"Yeah we're done Damien, wait outside alright?" Donna said acting completely normal, as if they didnt just sleep together a day before.
But well, whatever works!
I finished re-applying my lipstick and I had to say we did clean up pretty good.
Donna looked like an angel, clad in white with soft makeup. Whereas I looked ravenous, blood red lips and gown.
"Come on let's get going" I told Donna and we headed outside where Damien was in a dark blue suit which looked damn good on him.
We headed downstairs and the silence in the lift was killer, I prayed the whole ride to the gala won't be.
My mouth hung open on the what was in front of me, so did Donna's.
Damien casually strooled to the Limousine and opened the door the for us.
"Damn Damien, we should go to gala's more often!" Donna exclaimed and I nodded in agreement.
"Hurry girls, time to go to an awfully boring gala!" He faked excitement and I giggled,finally feeling like everything's back to normal.
We soon reached a big mansion, more like a palace, where the gala was being held.
"I thought you said the gala was being held at one of your family homes?" I asked Damien and he cringed.
"Umm...it is" I knew Damien was rich but not this rich!
There was paparazzi outside which maked me and Donna nervous.
We haven't attended something so fancy ever.
"Straight inside okay girls? Don't talk to them." And we did just that.
Inside, it was the most beautiful place I'd ever visited. It was gorgeous, paintings hanging on every wall, chandeliers around.
"Let's meet my parents, and then I'll offer you both a drink. Trust me,you'll need it" Damien lead us to a couple standing around the stage.
The lady, despite her age was astonishingly gorgeous, her hair in a bun and a body hugging black gown accentuating her curves.
The man beside her was also clad in an all black suit, his hair black with little specks of grey.
"Mother meet my friends,Donna Miller and Adriana Anderson." He introduced us and his mother suprisingly embraced us in a hug.
"You two are gorgeous!" She had a bright smile on her face warming up her features.
"So are you Mrs Carter." His father turned towards us, and Damien shared an awkward glance with him.
"Hello ladies. Glad you could make it. Everlyn, Mr. Terrance is here." He didn't even wait for our response as he took his wife to attend to more people.
No wonder Damien had issues with him!
"I think I'll take that drink now" Donna exclaimed and we head to the bar.
Damien engaged in polite conversations with many people, mostly females.
Donna had a permanent scowl on her face by the time we reached the bar.
"D, lighten up. You might put Damien on fire with that scowl." I laughed at my own joke, which made her turn her scorching gaze to me.
"Shutup Adriana. He's been talking to her for what? 15 minutes now! Like excuse me but you came here with us!" She was most definitely angry.
I took two glasses of champagne, handing Donna one and telling her to cool off.
"Hey ladies, wanna bail out already?" Damien laughed, but stopped when he looked at Donna's hateful expressions.
"You came here with us so you won't get bored right? Looks like you have a great company already" Without giving him a chance to explain, she excused herself to use the restroom.
"What's all that about?" He looked blank, I sometimes feel he's genuinely stupid.
"You know, sometimes when you sleep with someone and flirt with another person the next day in front of them, things get sloppy." I offered him a smile at his shocked reaction.
"This isn't an appropriate place to talk about it. We'll discuss this tomorrow." Damien clenched his jaw, and then said, "Let's introduce you to some people till Donna cools down." I smiled,wanting to ease the tension between us.
"Snooty businessmen and their children who think they're better than anybody, yeah why not?" He chuckled at this, and I giggled along.
We headed to a group of three men and two females, who turned and cheered as Damien and I approached them.
"This is Xavier, Grayson and Terry, and this is Lavina and Raven, guys this is Adriana Anderson, my roomate and friend"
Terry and Grayson shaked my hand politely.
Xavier took my palm and planteda kiss on it. "Lovely to meet you. Damien, you never told me your roomate was this beautiful" his eyes stayed on me the whole while.
"Pleasure to meet you all" I said,noticing the two females scowlling towards me.
Xavier and I kept the conversation going, I asked him about his work and found out he's an architect.
Lavina and Raven barely talked and was even glad they didn't
"What is your line of work, Ms Anderson?" Terry asked me, and I'm nervous because I'm not anywhere near successful as these men.
"I'm a singer" I answered politely, to which Lavina added,"Oh? I haven't heard your name ever! And my father owns a record label. Wierd right?" That bitch was trying to let me down? Oh hell no!
"I'm recording for a label soon.As for why you haven't heard of me, sweetie stop spending your father's money and work in the industry. You might." Xavier erupted in a full chuckle, followed by Terry and Grayson. Lavina returned to her scowlling.
"Excuse us for a moment." Damien said and lead me to to another man with back to us, and I felf a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach.
The guy turned around and I let out a gasp, wanting nothing more to turn and run the hell out of here.
Dante stared at me in shock and surprise, his eyes shifting from me to Damien.
"Adriana, meet my Uncle, Dante Matterazzi."
