Chapter 55. The mansion party

...
A month passes by and the whole thing with Michael is left behind. He was deported from America and he would never be allowed back in the country, so as long as I was here, I was safe from him. He tried contacting me through messenger, but after that I permanently closed my Facebook and Instagram account saying goodbye to all those pictures from my previous life, that I now gladly left behind.
My daily routine was turning into a beautiful and much needed serenity, where everything was an absolute bliss. Me and Stephanie were becoming closer as I helped her get over her breakup with Jacob and I even introduced her to Ronan, who was now also becoming my friend. He is such an amazing person and it was only out of love for his friend, he agreed to his absurd plan and apologized like a hundred times for it.
Paul was becoming a true best friend to me. We would spend time daily and it was all full of laughter and happy moments. I trusted him completely and he would support me through everything.
I just dropped Alexander off home from work and I am on my way to the gym. I pick up Stephanie who also joined me for my defense lessons, as she needed something to keep her mind busy.
"I am not sure which one I should go after, Ronan or Yiannis? I know Ronan is a doctor, a serious and attractive man but Yiannis... oh Yiannis! How many times I pleasured myself thinking about him?"
"Steeeeph!" I say disapprovingly but immediately bursting into laughter.
"What? Don't tell me you don't. Oh but no, why would you? You have your precious Alexander satisfying your every need." She says in a funny face, making fun of me.
"Yes, I do and it's not that long ago that you had Jacob satisfying yours, so chill out." I joke.
We walk in the gym and I have such a good time laughing with Stephanie drawling all over Yiannis. Ok, the man was out of this world, as he indeed looked like a Greek god, but he was cold as ice. I don't think I remember ever seeing him smiling. He had that bad boy image, that all the women loved and I hated, but he was doing a fantastic job teaching us how to protect ourselves.
"Ladies!" Luke said admiringly.
"Hi, Luke." We both salute him.
"Listen up, I want to take you both out tonight with me and Yiannis to this party, as the love of my life will be there and I want to make her jealous. And with you two hotties, she'll be begging for me by the end of the evening."
"Oh come on Luke! You know I have a boyfriend. I can't help you sorry."
"Exactly! You have a boyfriend, so you know how I feel and now you have to help me!" He supplicates.
"Come on Claire, let's go it'll be fun. I can go with Yiannis and you can be Luke's escort." Stephanie begs.
"Alright. But I am only doing this for loooove!" I say sarcastically and we all laugh.
"Yayyyyy. Yianni, I can't wait to be your fake date. We will have so much fun."
"It doesn't need to be fake, I am not seeing anyone at the moment." The iceman finally says.
Me and Steph immediately turn to each other opening our eyes wide from excitement and turning our backs on them doing a quiet happy dance with our hands, so that only us could actually see it.
We are on our way to Stephanie's apartment and she is ecstatic, not shutting up about her upcoming REAL date with Yiannis.
"You do know you owe me big time!" I say once we enter the apartment. She asked me up to help her find something to wear and of course she promised me coffee. Good coffee was the way to my heart, as I could never say no to it.
"Hey there gorgeous." Paul greeted me with a kiss.
"Guess what?" Stephanie squeaks jumping up and down the couch while clapping her hands like a little child.
"You got a new job." He guesses.
"Yes, that would actually be a good reason for you to be overjoyed like that and not just because you are going out with Mr. Iceman." I criticize her.
"Oh, come on! You are jealous because your Alexander is not as hot as my Yiannis."
"Your Yiannis? Oh, so he is yours now?"
"He will be after tonight." She dreams.
We both laugh at her and she leaves the room pretending to be annoyed.
"Since I'll have the house to myself tonight, what about inviting you for dinner, just the two of us?"
"I can't, I am actually joining them with Luke, pretending to be his date, so that he can make this girl jealous."
"Oh, that's healthy." He jokes and we both laugh.
"I'll call you if I am left alone, because if Luke's plan works, I am going to need a ride home. Alexander is away on a business trip so I don't want to take his ridiculously expensive car and we are going there by taxi."
"You need to get a car. I mean you make good money and you can easily afford one."
"You are right! I am free tomorrow, as Alexander won't be returning until Friday and I'd love it if you could help me pick one. I am so difficult and fussy when it comes to cars and I need someone to reason me into buying anything else than an antique."
"Sure thing beautiful! You know I love spending time with you."
"And voila!" Stephanie is back in a red dress looking stunning!
"Damn Steph you look hot!" Paul says.
"You shut up! You had your chance and you blew it." She jokes.
"Steph, I think that dress can turn Mr. Iceman into a fireman tonight. Giiiiirl, you look so sexy!"
We are on our way to the mansion this party is being held at and upon arrival we see the guys are already there to greet us at the entrance.
I can see Yiannis's eyes going dark from desire once he took a look at Stephanie coming out of the car. I only wore a plain black dress, but I looked alright. I could swear I saw lust in Paul's eyes when he was looking at me, while I was doing Stephanie's make up. What is it with men and breasts? It was a mid length dress, that only showed a little bit more of my boobies as they are a size too big for my body, so every dress I buy is too damn small on the bust area.
"Damn! You are both smoking hot!" Luke whistles.
We both laugh and they grab us from the elbows leading us in.
"This house is ridiculous!" I remark admiringly.
"Yes! The hostess is a rich bitch. She comes to my gym and she is my true love's best friend, but to be honest I don't like her one bit." Luke says.
"Where is Stephanie and Yiannis?"
"Oh, leave those two love birds alone. Yiannis was always asking me to help him get Stephanie, for some time now. I am sure he has already cornered your friend with his tongue down her throat, just as I am sure she is enjoying it."
"Well, I won't disagree with that." I say and we both laugh.
"Oh my God Claire here she is!"
"Who is she?"
"That dark chocolate delight over there. I think my heart will fall off my chest!"
I laugh and I am now feeling happy that I came, as he does actually look in love.
"Did you speak to her about your feelings?"
"No! Are you crazy? I can't. What if she rejects me."
"I can't believe it! You are a master in flirting, as you practice it daily with every single female customer in your gym. I even caught you flirting with Mrs. Maria the other day and she is sixty for God's sake. I am sure that if you gather up the courage to talk to her, you will have her at hello. Look at you Luke, you are a catch, looking like Sylvester Stallone with Brad Pitt's face, back when they were still in their youthful glory."
"That's different Claire. I don't have feelings for any of the girls and I flirt with them to boost their self confidence and give them motive to work their fat ass off. Present company excluded, as you were my little porcelain princess, I would always favor and look at you now. If I wasn't in love with that black beauty, I would be all over your blond, not so skinny anymore, ass!"
"Luke!" I complain blushing.
"What girl? I am only telling the truth."
"Some things are better to be kept to yourself." I say humorously and we both laugh.
"Here she is! Kiss me!"
"What? I will not..."
And he seals my lips before finishing what I have to say.
"Luke!!!" I complain.
"What? It was a friendly kiss. It's not like I used my tongue. Come on Claire, don't be such a prude, I kiss my mother the same way!"
"Ew! That's disgusting!" I say and we both crack to laughter.
"Hi, Luke." She approaches.
A few minutes later his tongue is down her throat. I can't believe it, but it actually worked! How can some women fall for these tricks?
I call Paul to pick me up, as I can't find Stephanie and she texted me earlier not to wait up for her, using a lot of emojis to clarify what she was doing 🥵💦🍆👉👌👅, so I got the message. I text her back not to worry about me and have fun.
I get in the car and he is in his pajamas, wearing his big geeky glasses, provoking my smile. How can a person look so cute? I have to find him a girlfriend as he doesn't seem to be interested in doing so for himself. If only Alicia wasn't seeing someone already. They would be so good for each other.
We watch a movie and eat a bucket of popcorn, which gives me a stomachache. We were watching a thriller as it was his turn to choose and he was revenging me for that chick film I made him watch last time. I was curled up close to him hiding my face in his armpit every time I was scared.
"It's a good thing I bathed before I came to pick you up. Please get out of my armpits." He complains.
It's after midnight and Stephanie still hasn't returned. I send her an sms to ask of her whereabouts and she immediately answers me back, telling me not to wait up as she was still 'busy'.
"That slut! She already gave it to him." Paul says and we both burst out laughing.
"Come on, let's take you home! I am so tired that I will most likely crash my car on the way back falling asleep on the wheel."
"In that case I don't want to go. Could I sleep in Stephanie's bedroom since she is obviously not coming back?"
"Sure if she does, she can just crush next to you, it's a double bed anyway."
"Great! This way we can get up and go directly for a car research. I can't wait!" I say excitedly.
I kiss him goodnight and I text Stephanie I am in her bed wearing only my underwear 😈 and she texts me back that she can't handle any more sex for the night, along with a lot of 😂😂😂😂. God I loved that girl! She was so funny and I was so comfortable making sex jokes with her, as she had no taboos whatsoever, but not in a slutty way.
