Pretending

Part III

Double checking that her makeup was perfect she put on her heels and checked herself in the mirror again.

"Babe you look stunning," Dany said standing behind her at which she smiled.

The floor-length red dress looked absolutely gorgeous on her making her curves accentuate in all the right places, the slit on the bottom long enough the get a peek of her leg when she walked. She was all kinds of sophisticated but very well sexy at the same time.

"Why do we have to go to this New Year's Eve party? We could be on vacation right now somewhere else" Scarlet muttered

"Because it's the company's party and I need to make a good impression" Dany answered impatiently "also we could not afford to go on vacation right now"

"We could if you would just trust me enough so I could go back to work!" She said exasperated "I am not on medication anymore and I've been feeling great. I know I am able to work, we need it. You know I could start right from the top at any company and-"

"Enough!" Dany raised his voice "we have had this conversation too many times. You were in clinical depression for over a year Scarlet, it's been only a few months since you stopped the medication be more rational, the stress of work will make it worse"

"Being useless makes it worse! How do you think I feel every-time you get up and go to work while I stay home and keep myself busy? I wasn't born to be a housewife, I need much more than that" her teary eyes looked straight at his face

Frustrated, Dany grabbed his car keys and headed to the door "we don't have time for this right now; we have to go"

Before she could even reply he was out the door and getting inside the car, taking a deep breath she put her coat on and headed to the car. The battle was not over, she was going to get what she wanted, what she needed.

Standing at the entrance she started to get nervous, she knew the house belonged to Zac and he undoubtedly would be there.

Taking their jackets off, Scarlet grabbed Dany's arm and walked into the room. At the entrance there he was, like a good host welcoming his guests. She stiffened when she saw a woman hanging at his arm, she was beautiful with thick curly hair and light brown eyes, her skin just as dark as his if not a bit darker, her long legs were visible by the long slit in the side of her dress. What made her eyes widen a little was when she looked at her clearly pregnant stomach, she quickly looks at his left hand not noticing a wedding ring and he never mentioned having a partner, jealousy consumed her then.

They walked closer to them, once Zac saw her his eyes darkened taking in all of her, the sight of her made his dick hard in an instant.

"Good evening," Dany said to Zac which nodded in response his eyes glued to Scarlet.

"I am glad you could make it," Zac said to them. Dany went on a rant about how glad he was that they were invited but he did not hear a word he said. Zac was too busy trying not to get a boner when Scarlet was so close.

He noticed how she was looking at Georgia going back and forth between her pregnant belly and their joined arms. Scarlet's face was a stone, neutral and calm but her eyes hold a fire that made him smirk, she was definitely jealous.

"I want you to meet Georgia," Zac said smiling looking straight at Scarlet which she forced a smile and shook hands with her "Georgia, this is Dany and his fiancée Scarlet"

Georgia being her talkative self started asking all kinds of questions about work, their relationship, and the party. The conversation was mostly between Dany and her since Scarlet was too busy trying to keep a calm facade and Zac was too busy looking at her.
