My Love for Auction (MLFA 1)

MLFA Chapter 6

Chapter Six

Cole POV

I was showering, I was thinking about my afternoon with Mitch, we walked around the Scorrybreac that Mitch had suggested, he had found the route on his phone.

I enjoyed his company, he was funny, witty, smart, unbelievably good looking, I remembered when I fell on some rocks, he caught me in his arms, I could feel how hard his chest was, I could only imagine what he looked like underneath his clothes and he smelt good, I could have stayed in his arms for forever, but I managed to pull away and said thank you,

we talked most of the walk and admired the scenery.

I took the black dress that Georgina had packed in my suitcase, it looked expensive, there was a label with Georgina's handwriting on it saying:
This little number will look good on you, please be careful it's another rental, enjoy your evening.

If this doesn't do the trick, then there's something wrong with him G xxx.

I smiled at my strange friend, but her heart was in the right place. I put the dress on, I looked in the mirror, it was clearly a dress to seduce Darius, it hung on in the right bits, the sexy lingerie she chose to go under the dress helped with the cleavage, I was hesitant about wearing the dress but decided to go with it in the end.

I used the curling wand from the suitcase and curled my hair, leaving my hair down, then put my makeup on, I applied charcoal and silver eye-shadow and a dark eyeliner for a smoldering Smokey eyes effect, I used a deep red color lipstick on my full lips and gazed back on my overall look.

I couldn't believe how grown up I looked, not the mousy girl in the office but a feisty sexy woman, I felt good, I should thank my friend when I'm home, this was all her crafty work.

I took a deep breath and walked downstairs, as I approached the last step, Mitch walked towards me, he just stared and didn't say anything. I started to doubt my decision on the dress, "Is everything OK"

"Yes." he was having a hard time trying to speak to me "Jimmy should be here soon"

"great, you don't think this is too much for this function? I could change"

"No, I think you should keep what you got on, it's really something" "alright, I just need to get my clutch bag I left it on my bed? I'm not going to be long" I went to walk up the stairs, when I looked Mitch up and down, he looked good in his dark grey suit,

mouthwatering I thought and carried on walking upstairs.

Jimmy opened the car door for Mitch and me "Good evening" "hello Jimmy, again" I smiled, I noticed Mitch was quiet in the car, I looked out the window the whole car ride wondering what I had done to wrong for him to be reserved, we reached the old council hall, Jimmy stopped and opened the door.

"Hope you a nice evening, I have been told that there's a good band playing tonight" "thank you, I'm looking forward to tonight"

I looked at Mitch to see if he was as excited as me, then Mitch smiled at me and took my hand, "thanks Jimmy, see you later"

Mitch guided me through the large doors, a few couples were going inside the building alongside us. I liked Mitch holding my hand, there was a woman collecting tickets in the hallway,

"wait here I will purchase some tickets" "I want to pay?" "It's nothing, you can pay me back by having the first dance"

I smiled, I felt giddy, having a dance with Mitch meant being close to him, I liked the thought of that but was nervous as well.

Mitch took hold of my hand again "Are you ready Cole" "yes" " let's go" we walked inside the hall, it was one large room, bar one side of the room, the band on the other side of the room and white table and chairs in the middle of the room with some people already sat.

"What would you like to drink?" "vodka and Coke but I'm getting these?" "no, you're my date this evening, that means I get to spoil you? If you would like to find us a seat I will bring our drinks over" he smiled, I liked it when Mitch said I was his date, even though he said it playfully, I could only hope.

Mitch went to the bar to get the drinks, I went to find an empty seats and table, I spotted one and sat and waited for Mitch.

I was watching the band setting up, when a man around my age sat by the side of me, I turned and faced him.

"Hi gorgeous, I'm Seth, hope you don't mind but I see you sat on your own and wanted to keep you company" I smiled at him, I couldn't help it, he was forward but he was cheeky chappie and meant no harm.

I was about to reply when "Thanks for the concern but she already has a date" Seth looked up at Mitch and nodded
"Sorry man, I didn't know" " nice meeting you Missy"

Seth stood up "It's Cole, nice meeting you to Seth"

Seth walked away, Mitch sat next to me placing both drinks on the table. “Thanks"

"I might have to put a sign on you saying you're mine tonight" "like it’s going to happen again" I rolled my eyes "can't you see the men around you staring" "no, I think it's mainly because we are strangers and everyone is wondering who we are?"

"I will give you that, but the lustful stares are definitely because they are attracted to you" "so my luck is in" I said playfully "no, you're stuck with me" "oh no, just look at my dilemma, stuck all night with a very attractive American hot shot guy, the pain" I said dramatically trying to sound confident but my blushing was giving me away.

I took my drink, maybe I said something I shouldn't have, Mitch smiled at me, I decided to change the subject quickly.

"I had a great time today" "me too, can't remember the last time I walked with someone and actually enjoyed myself "

we continued to drink through the evening, after the meal the band started.

"Could I have this dance" "well of course"
Mitch took me to the dance floor, between others dancing, it was a slow dance,

Mitch took me in his arms and danced with me, he was a good dancer, I loved the feeling, I wanted to stay in his arms for an eternity and it still wouldn't be long enough. "you're really good, who taught you?" I couldn't help myself, I wanted to know?

"It was my mom" "She has done a good job"

"yeah, I remember telling mom that I had my prom soon and wanted to impress the girls but couldn't dance, so she taught me a few steps, she was really good" he kept smiling obviously reminiscent his past.

He had an affectionate smile I couldn't help smile back. "I'm having a great time tonight"

"me too" the band finished their song, they were good like Jimmy

mentioned, the next song they start to sing was U2 "with or without you".
I loved this song, would it be wrong to dance with Mitch, it was a love song, Mitch dances slowly with me, he doesn't seem to mind. I relax in his arms and lean my head on his chest and shuts my eyes, and inhales his masculine scent I could stay like this forever, I felt a kiss on top of my head
I could only dream that Mitch would ever consider wanting me, he was something special, he looked amazing but he had a beautiful soul and a loving heart, just spending a day with him made me start to feel for him, he has great sense of humor he could make me laugh, smile and feel good about myself, but he could make me cry so easily,

If I asked him if he liked me and it was not reciprocated, which is more than likely it would shatter my heart and I would make a fool of myself. No I had come to terms that Mitch was out of my league, and soon enough the (ex) love of his life will come back and realize her mistake and ask for his forgiveness and they will be married and live happy ever after.

"What are you thinking about" Mitch took me out of my deep thoughts and my inner turmoil, I had to think of something, "nothing much, you?" that was terrible I thought to myself. "I think I asked first" "I was thinking how much I liked your friendship, you now?" oh Cole, what are you thinking.

"I was thinking of you, but it’s... nothing"

"what, is there something wrong?" I was worried "no, why do you think there's something wrong, when it's right, more than right... OK I'm not making any sense"

Mitch stopped dancing and looked straight into my eyes, I felt the intensity of his stare and started to feel nervous, he held my chin with his fingers like he was about to do
