Darkest Desire (18+)

A GALA

I sigh laying back in the chair my hands covered in paint yet the beautiful picture in front of me is finally finished.
A dying rose. The large petals falling down the image the dark red and black making it so dark,mysterious I often feel like rose is everyone in my life so dark and secrets everywhere.
I go to shut my eyes laying down in my chair when I hear my phone ring.
"Hello Lela speaking" I say so tired
"Afternoon my love have you got your dress out for the gala tonight they are in the spare room with mine and your brothers" my father says bringing me back to life and remembering the gala this evening.
"I will get them out now father" I say as he thanks me before hanging up as I hear the phones in his office going off.

I run into the shower soaking the dark black and red paint of my body my wet hair becoming long from the water I watch as the colours fall off and filling the water with dark.
I lotion my body in vanilla lotion I like how Samantha smells of it Lorenzo must like the scent.
I put my robe on before walking into the spare room letting my father and brothers suits down on the bed and setting my dress out.
The beautiful dark green silk that I know will hug onto my body so well.
I then I remember who will be at the event.
Lorenzo.........

Once sam got home a few nights ago she was telling me and Lorenzo about the event what I already knew I was going to because of my father.
It's a well known gala that happens once a year were wealthy businessmen and women come to together.
Samantha was so excited after being invited to the event that I go to every year.
I let my hands drift over my dress as it now sits on my body the slit on my leg my golden skin showing.
I run my hands on my legs feeling it as Lorenzo feeling is touch so rough against my soft skin.
I let my hair fall down my bouncy curls falling down my face.
I step into the hallway to see my father and brother is matching suits with green ties to match my dress.
This is the one moment I feel important.
I smile lights up my face when my arms warp around my brother and father as they lead me to the car.
Throughout the journey my father is on is phone constantly not once letting it down. And my brother is drinking the amount for about ten people yet he still keeps his composure well.

The gala is light up bright the huge building standing out so well many cameras and a carpet leads to the entrance where a security guard is.
My father and brother help me step out both taking me in the arms and the cameras flashes at us the bright lights blinding me. My fathers name being shouted as we walk to the door.
"Just keep smiling my love" my father whispers in my ear as we walk to the door and once in my father relaxes still holding me yet much lighter as if to say.
You know all of that was for show.
My brother sighs as we finally walk into the huge hall where the music is screaming and many people are dancing and talking and a huge bar lighting my brothers eyes up.
My father now completely let's go of my arm what for some reason puts me on edge as he always helps me.
He kisses my cheek before I see him walking over to Holly and hugs her and kisses her cheek.
Making me feel much less important to him.
Davies takes my arm and walks us over to the bar where he orders us a drink yet two for himself
"I hate theses events" he shouts over the loud music while chugging his first beer
I smile nodding at him in agreement.
Theses events have always been for my fathers benefit for his business we only come to look like a prefect family that's what everyone's children do.
But now Davies is in the family business I know he felt like he needed to do more earn my fathers respect.

It's been a few hours and me and Davies have done "our rounds" pre say speaking to who needed to be spoke to making sure to say the right things.
Davies was now spinning more I could see the drink was starting to get to him as he hung onto me more.
"Let's go find father now" I smile kissing his cheek as I search for my father yet I found someone else first.
All his beauty as he stood in a black suit and a dark blue tie his hair slicked back.
I almost chock when I see how beautiful he is.
Then I see my father opposite him his arm around Holly as they Laugh.
I battle my way through the dance floor with Davies on my arm taking a drink from any and every waiter.
"Lela there you are" my father says as he kisses me cheek and Davies leans on the wall
"You have meet holly" my father smiles as holly hugs me what makes me very uncomfortable
"Sort of" I smile as she smiles back at me before hugging and greeting Davies.
"Gosh that bar is so far away" Sam says as she walks over passing Lorenzo his drink and kissing his cheek
"Oh hi Lela we asked your father where you and your brother were" she says embracing me in her arms her strong vanilla perfume hitting me mouth I smile at her looking up at Lorenzo as he smiles
"We were at the other bar and my brother is now waking over there again" I sigh watching Davies fumble to the bar
"Your dam brother and his drink" my father mutters before saying his goodbyes and leaving

"My brother isn't always like that" I say turning to face Lorenzo and Sam and Holly
"Everyone drinks it's fine" Holly smiles I smile back at her she then goes to follow my father touching my arm as she leaves like she likes me trying to be nice.
I instantly want to wash my arm not wanting her anywhere near me.
I smile at Lorenzo and Samantha before leaving seeing my father and brother argue I go to the back of the hall in a booth alone with a large glass of wine as I watch my brother and father walk outside to argue.
The music changes to a slow song and I watch the couples walk to the dance floor arms interlaced eyes locked on one another looking so much in love.
I know what loves look like I think it's because I am always searching for it.

I few songs go on and my eyes find Samantha in her blue mid length dress going tight of her chest covering her up and falling out at the bottom.
Elegant yet boring something Sam always wears it's like she is saying "I am a mum but I sexy one" I can see why so many people like her I bet they all want to be her.
I watch has Lorenzo holds himself strong and bold sam's head resting on him as they sway his hands string in her waist not moving.
Holding her lightly touching her her hands going around his neck now pulling him in kissing him the sloppiness of her drunk kiss.
He holds her for a while till he pulls away swiping his mouth of her lipstick on his mouth she smiles before whispering in his ear and walking off to some lady's at the bar.

Lorenzo stands still his eyes now falling to me he smirks and I smile at him as he slowly strides towards me.
The dark red light shining on him as he walks to my booth.
He places his hands out for me to take smirking on his face.
"May I have this dance baby" he says licking his lips
