Jack and I were sitting and waiting for Jacks parents to come into the main ballroom. Yes we were finally at the charity ball. I was sitting there in a nice red wine colored dress. I had
shoes to match and Jack's hair dresser styled my hair for me. I never knew there were so many hair styles to choose from. I thought it was just up, down, and curled. I smiled and touched Jacks inner thigh. He grabbed my hand and looked at me sternly. He gave me a
warning and told me to "watch that hand of mine." I laughed and licked my lips. The auction was about to begin and I sat properly. They began to auction off a bunch of random
things and the people who were buying them their money was going to a charity. Jack was talking to me but I heard the woman say
something that caught my attention. "And the next bidding is a 5 day trip to Atlanta with an
already paid for hotel suite" She shouted holding up 2 tickets. My eyes widened. This is what I needed. Time to get away, time to think about the job. And I wanted to do it all, with
Jack. "The bidding starts at 300" she chuckled. "460" a man jumped out of nowhere. I watched as people from the front and back of the room
fought for the tickets with their money. As if on cue, a thought and reminder popped into my head. The car, I still haven't done anything
with it. I can send them a check, Jack said it was about 22,000. I mean that's a bit for some hotel suit tickets but at least I know I'll win them for sure. "700, going once going twice?"
The woman asked looking around. "One thousand dollars" I stood up, catching Jack and everyone else's attention. "Do I hear eleven hundred?" The small woman asked once again. A smirk grew upon my face. "Sold to the
gorgeous woman in the red dress" She announces while the rest of the people clap. Jack grabbed my hand and smiled at me. "Where the hell did you get one thousand
dollars from?" He chortled looking me in the eyes. "Well, I do have a car that I don't want nor do I need" I rolled my eyes. I told him to wipe that smirk off his face. I still had another 21,000 to spend. I'll sell the car and buy a
cheaper car. Something more...me. Jack grabbed my shoulders and began to rub them. "Well it looks like the both of us better call off Monday through Friday then huh?" I looked
over my shoulder to him. He reached his hand down and gripped my ass. "Oh Cristina, I'm so
glad you made it dear" Katherine chimed in. I hugged her and smiled at David, who was behind her. "So, I hope you have fun on your 5
day trip to Atlanta" Molly giggles, inviting herself into the conversation. I laugh and hold hands with her. "Do you need help packing, I could help" she offered. I shook my head and told her that I had it. "Well it's getting pretty late and your flight leaves tomorrow at 8 am, better call off and make sure it's alright with
the boss!" David chuckled. I wanted to say "I technically am the boss now." but that wouldn't be polite and I wouldn't want for it to come off as rude. "Well, were gonna get going okay mo-"
Jack stops and looks behind me. I get curious and look at Well. My eyes darted at her as I felt an awful feeling in my lower stomach. "We're going to get going now mother" Jack grabbed my arm a bit harsh. "Oh but Bella just got here,
don't you want to say hi Jack?" Katherine informed him. He shook his head and Bella spotted us. She headed over and smirked at
me. "Hello Katherine, David" She kisses them on the cheek and Hugs molly. "Jack" Bella
trailed as she held her arms open for him. My face was hot and I was probably red. I saw her hands get a little low on his back. I scoffed and
squinted my eyes. "Oh, Cristina! You look lovely. I forgot you were still with Jack" she laughed trying to get a rise out of me. It was working. I fake smiled at her and hugged her. "Well why don't you two stay a while. The party just started. The only thing that happened so far was the auction" Bella semi- laughed. I looked over to Jack and he rolled his eyes. "I
guess we could stay for a bit longer" Jack gave in. I sighed and took Jacks hand. I wasn't feeling good at the moment, I decided I was going to just go to the restroom. That was
probably the best place to calm down right now. I groaned and made my way to the bathroom. I fixed myself in the bathroom and
seen from the corner of my eye. "It's funny how we happen to keep meeting in the same place"
