Rivals

Chapter 1

~Noah~

The loud music roared in my ears. This night club was a private one but it was just like any other. Only it didn't smell of sweat. The air was filled with a faint smell of alcohol mixed with some flower scent. I had hooked up recently so I was just in here for a drink and chat. Many girls tried to flirt with me today, but no one caught my eye.

So I just looked at other people grinding their bodies against each other. There was an upper floor which had rooms for privacy but people didn't care. I went to the bar to ask for scotch, my favourite drink.

"A scotch please." A voice came from somewhere near me. I turned to see that there was a woman in her twenties with dark hair and transluscent skin. But her eyes were what caught my attention. Her eyes were different;one of them was amber and the other was green. She looked about five feet eight inches tall and the heels added an extra three inches. She wore a blue shimmery dress which came till her mid thighs showing off her toned legs and perfect figure.

"Hey." I said in a low, deep voice.

She turned to look at me. "Hey." She replied smiling.

"I'm Noah, and you are?"

"Jessica Williamson. Nice to meet you." Her accent was British which made her even more sexier.

"How about I buy you a drink?" I asked seductively which no girl could resist.

She just cocked her head and sighed. "Look, I'm sorry but I'm in no mood for a hook up, and I've seen many guys like you." That moment the bartender placed her drink in front of her. She smiled at him. I just noticed that her lips were a shade of crimson, my favourite colour. The bartender could see her smile but I couldn't

She held her drink in one hand and turned to me. "Ciao Adios." She said with a little salute and walked away.

I clenched my fists. She just turned me down. This was a new feeling for me. I was Noah Jackson, the son of a billionaire and the owner of one of the top companies of the world. Well, not yet, but I had a party due tomorrow for taking over my father's company.

I always got what I wanted, but she was something that I couldn't get. I ran my fingers through my hair. I went outside to get some fresh air when I saw Jessica wearing a long coat which concealed her dress get into a 2020Lamborgini Aventador. It was the same shade of crimson as her lipstick. I watched helplessly as she drove away.

I woke up with my head pounding. I opened my eyes slowly and saw that there was a glass of water and aspirin tablets on the nightstand. I took two aspirin tablets with water and went to my en-suite bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower. I let the hot water to relax my nerves and stiff muscles. I wrapped a towel around my waist and walked out of the bathroom to find Gabby sitting on my unmade bed.

Gabriella Jackson aka Gabby, was my younger sister. She had brown hair like our mother but her eyes were green just like mine. She was five feet six inches tall and curvy.

I arched an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

She smiled. "Well, is there a rule in this house that prevents me from seeing my brother?"

I sighed. "What do you want?"

"Nothing. I just picked out two suits for you to wear to tonight's party. Let me know which one you're wearing beforehand."

"Why?"

"So that we can match."

I chuckled. "Fine. I'll let you know. Now get out of my room."

"Okay. Fine." She said and walked out of the room closing the door behind her. I had a spacious room with a king sized bed, a tv and recliner chairs. There was a bookshelf on the other side of the room just beside my desk. My nightstand had a family photo. The walls were gray and bare of any posters or tapestries. I walked into my closet.

My closet was large, with rows of suits on one side and rows of shirts on the other side. There was another section which contained my t-shirts, jeans and shoes. There was a floor length mirror in the second section. The drawers were filled with expensive watches. There was a row of ties and cuff links just beside the suits.

Gabby had left the suits on the hanger behind the door. Both of the suits were impeccable. One of them was black in colour and the other was midnight blue. I decided to go with the black one.

I descended the stairs and walked towards the dining hall. The breakfast was already laid on the table and my dad looked up as I walked in. My dad, Mike Jackson had hair just like mine but his eyes were blue and he was two inches shorter than me. He was a middle-aged man and was fit for his age.

Gabby grinned as I entered and dad smiled.

"Good morning." I said and sat beside Gabby.

"Hey did you see the suits?" Gabby asked excitedly.

I smiled. "Yes. I'm going with the black one."

"Big day today, son." Dad said.

I nodded. "Yeah. Indeed."

The party was held in my home, in the ballroom. I kept Gabby close to me whenever dad introduced me to the CEOs of the other companies. Gabby looked beautiful in her black dress which had silver designs and matching heels. Her hair was tied into a knot in the back of her head.

I was talking to someone when I noticed her. Jessica. Wait, what was she doing here? She was not alone. She was accompanied by a man who looked like her except he had blue eyes. Jessica was wearing a short red dress with black heels and her hair fell on her shoulders in loose curls. The man beside her wore a blue suit which complemented his eyes.

"Wait I know him." Gabby said.

"Who is he?" I asked not taking my eyes off them.

"He is Tobias Williamson, brother of Jessica Williamson. He joined our school this year. His sister is the CEO of some big company."
