September 2020
Gwen Peterson eyes floated around the crowded ballroom. The ballroom was full with a diverse crowd of people dressed in designer that they could not afford. But it was all for a great cause, so they thought.. to impress the Chef Executive Officer of a multi-million company Ctrl. Ctrl is a multinational technology company which was established in 2018. Its fairy new but already has Apple and Samsung, their competitors, on their toes. The new software was so unique and different the competitors had no idea how to compete with Ctrl. Ctrl took technology to a whole new level, you can ctrl technology with your thoughts. Yes thoughts.. Gwen's corporation has been blooming all because her brilliant idea of ctrl. Her idea was just for television but now its being tested to be utilized in vehicles.
Gwen checked the time on her watch. She sighed and lifted her eyes back to the crowd.
Her eyes landed on a happy couple. Jealously swarmed in her chest and stomach as she watched the chocolate man smile down on the slim blonde haired woman.
Gwen has everything she needed. She graduated from college top of her class at Cornell University. Her career was established, she was in the process of completing her dream house, and she drove her dream car. She has everything except a man. Love is something Gwen never knew she was missing until she turned twenty-five. She was so busy in her career she didn't know she was missing a chunk in her heart.. until recently.
The sound of whispering and laughing snapped her out of thoughts. Her eyes fell on a group of black women talking among themselves clearly about her.
Most likely her outfit. Gwen was one of those wealthy people you would never guess was rich. She spends her money wisely. She invest in companies, and she saved her coins.
Gwen was never the material type of woman. Her dream car was a yellow 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. She went to a car auction and their it was waiting for her. She bought it for a ridiculous price because of all the work it needed. In two weeks, time with the help of her brother she doubled its worth after fixing it up. Everyday someone offers to buy the classic car from her but she always declined. She loved Bumblebee.
Hating bitches. She thought as she placed the glass of champagne to her beautiful oversized lips which consist of a beauty mole on her bottom lip in the corner of her mouth.
"You look stunning." A deep voice spoke behind her. She looked looked behind her causing her natural thick hair to flow over her shoulder.
Damn. She thought to herself. She smiled revealing her perfect white teeth.
"Thank you." Her smooth voice was like music to his ears.
"I'm Charles." He introduced placing his chocolate strong hand for her to shake.
"Gwen," She answered sliding her smooth hand into his hands. She took this time to take in his appearance. He was older than the other men she dated. He had the most perfect chocolate skin she have ever seen. He had a short cut with an impressive salt and pepper beard. And his lips were full and looked like a nice seat -
Let's just say Gwen was intrigued.
"Could we chat for a while?" He asked his strong voice. She frowned on the inside knowing he wasn't into her but her business. She felt kind of stupid thinking she would meet someone on night like this.
"Sure." She said taking another glass of champagne from the waiter who walked by. He led her away from the party to the balcony. She took a seat and crossed her chocolate legs. She caught him staring by he gathered himself together.
"You know I did wanted to talk to you about business but I think that can wait for a later date."
"Is that so?" She chuckled and sipped her drink to cover the blush on her lips.
A man wanted her attention. You could blame it on her daddy problems or the face she just haven't had no dick in a long time like years. She missed a males attention.
"You're the most beautiful woman I've seen in a long time," She couldn't help but to smile at his simple but cute compliment.
"You're eye catching yourself."
He chuckled, "So you like older guys?"
"I've never talk to someone older but I like trying new things." He smiled before sipping his drink. She was bold. Outspoken. Fearless. He loved it.
"There's a first time for everything." He replied starting into her chocolate eyes.
The night went on and Gwen spent most of her time with Charles until her assistant and best friend Stacy found her and stole her away for the remaining night.
"Was that Charles Knight?" Stacy asked holding Gwen close.
"It was until you kidnapped me!" Gwen replied looking over at her chocolate curt best friend.
"Great! You know his an investor and the owner of the Lyon," She spoke talking about the first smart car. It was the car of the next generation. It was worth billions. He must've wanted to invest some of Ctrl technology in his vehicles.
Fuck.
She hoped she didn't just blow one of the most life-changing deals of her career.
"Now greet the rest of your guest and thank them for coming," Stacy whispered before doing the same. Gwen smiled and started greeting and starting conversation with potential investors.
Gwen was so happy when the night ended. She was on her way out with Stacy when he called out her name.
She turned back spotting him in the foyer of the building.
"I'll catch up. Well hurry we have a new season of YOU waiting for us!" Stacy said before walking off to the valet to get her car they drove in.
Holding her clutch in front of her Gwen walked to him. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't hide the curves of her body.
He met her halfway.
"You're a hard woman to find."
"So I've been told," She chuckled moving her hair out her face.
"I wanted to let you know I enjoyed your company and waited to give you my number. In case you ever wanted to use it," he said handing her a card with his personal number written across.
She smiled, "I guess we'll have to see," She teased putting his car into her bag.
He chuckled, "Well you get home safety and don't forget to use that.. if you want to."
She smiled, "Goodnight Charles," She said walking away leaving watching her leave.
