"Tell me you have not changed your mind about today's plan" asked Mell.
"No, I have not" I answered.
"Ok then because I have already made the necessary arrangements. You are going to enjoy it. This is not like your everyday part. You have to let go of your self." She said that as she took our orders from the cafeteria assistant. Mell look excited morethan anything. And I hope this dinner part was going to meet my expectation.
My name is Sandy Davies I am seventeen this year and Mell Smith has been my friend since I started high school. I am a girl whose self esteem is very low. And I seem to have this void in my heart that None can fill. Maybe it's because I have grew up in a single parent's home. I never met my father. I was told that he died when I was one year old.
My elder sister is the only who have sweet memories with him. She told me how he would carry her on his shoulder and spin around. And I some how wished that one day I can experience how it would feels like to be in his arms.
My mother is trying everything in her power to make sure that I don't lack anything. But she doesn't understands that the only thing I need is her care, her attention and love. She love me that one I don't deny but she doesn't not have time for me. And she has a different way of expressing her love.
As I am saying she does not have time for me. Today is one of the many days that she goes on her long business trips. And I decided to go to a dinner part with my friend. I am tired to be left on my own, so it's better to go and enjoy my self.
"Girl we must go shopping after school. We might look so dump and out of place if we don't something nice and expensive." Mell continued
"Mell really there is no need. I have plenty of nice clothes that I can wear."
"No doubt about your nice clothes. But Sands we will be rubbing shoulders with tycoons. We might look out of place. It's either we go big or go home."
I sighed. And stopped arguing with her. For me what I wear was not a big deal. As long as I manage to cover my body.
In no time it was after school and Mell dragged me to shopping with her. She brought me in to this high end shop. Where we bought few sets of shots and crop tops. And we went to my house to freshen up and change.
When we got home my nanny was about to walk out.
"There you are Sandy, finally you came back. I am almost late for my ride home. Make sure you set the alarm and lock the doors properly, don't make me regret leaving you alone." Said aunty Loy.
"I will aunty. Hurry up before the ride leaves you behind"
"Bye my girl."
"Bye aunty."
Aunty Loy was my nanny. She has been with us since we moved to this house when I was eleven years of age. She took good care of me. And I can say I could relate to her more than to my mother. My mom was like a stranger to me.
"Let's hurry up girl. We don't have to keep the crew waiting."
"Ok let's go my room then"
We took a quick shower and in no time we were in front of the mirror doing our make-up. Mell was very good at it. This was my first time wearing make-up and I must say she knows her story. When she was done with me I could not recognize myself. I looked r like an angel.
"Wow, Sands. You look beautiful. Please where have you been hiding this beauty"
"Thanks Mells. Thank you"
"No no, stop with those tears. You don't want to ruin my work don't you."
I just shook my head. And I must say I was very emotional at the moment. I just wish Josh would see me now. Josh stays in my neighborhood but He has relocated to another town I had fallen for him since the day I met him four years ago. Though he was a bit old I could not help myself. I was hurt when he one day came with his girl friend. I remember not eating my food for days. He was my ideal husband. But there was nothing I could do as he was already taken. But I just wished that the girl would take good care of him for me.
Mell brought me back to my senses when she pulled my hand .
Sands let's go. Dave says he is on his way to pick us.
Dave Wilson was Mell's boy friend. He was fewer years older than Mells. But Mell says older guys would treat you with respect and pamper you like a princess you are.
We went out and I locked the house like I promised aunty Loy. I did not want to lend her into trouble. She was suppose to stay the weekend since my mother was not around. But I urged her to go home to her kids and promised that I would be fine on my own.
And when we walked out of the yard we saw Dave's Range Rover parking two houses from my house. When we got there the front door was opened from inside and before Mell got in she opened the rear door for me to get in. I waited until she was settled and then I got in.
"Wow, is this the famous Sands. She looked so beautiful In real life compared to pictures."
"Hello. Pleased to meet you Dave."
"Like wise princess. He said that as he kissed Mell. On her lips.actually that was deep kiss. I felt so shy looking at them kissing. So I looked outside the window instead.
"So we will meet the rest of the team at the hotel. I think the boss has already arrived. Let's get going ladies. He said that as he started the car and driving towards to the hotel.
The dinner part was held in one of the best hotels in town. I must say that I have not set my foot there . What would I be doing in this luxurious place in the first place. It was the place for the richest. Not that we were poor. But it was not a place for the working class.
There were a lot of dressed up girls and the moment I saw them I realized that this was not what I was expecting. And I wished I could walk back and leave this place right now. The dinner was held besides the pool. You could see drizzling lights and what not. The place looked magnificent.
At the far end there was this handsome guy who sat alone. He looked cold and aloof. And he seemed to be the boss that Dave was talking about as everybody seems to respect him. Dave went infront of him and bent to greet. But I could not hear what they were saying to each as they were far away but you could tell that Dave respected the guy a lot by his actions. He soon came back to us and the boss kinda of guy gave us the go ahead to eat.
The atmosphere was so quiet during the dinner and after that the party mode started. And I just find a corner and sat on my own. I really could not relate. This was my first time coming to this kind of place and interacting with the outside world. I was always indoors.
The music was deafening. I just sat there and before I knew it the handsome guy was besides me
"You look so lost" his deep magnetic voice sounded as he whispered in my ear. And his warm breath seem to tickle me.
"I am lost. This is not my kind of place."
"So why are here?" He smirked
"Aahm. I just needed a change of scenery, and I was bored alone at home."
"Oooh. Okay, oops. Where is my maners my name is Kent Brown."
"I am Sandy Davis"
"Pleased to meet you Sandy"
"Like wise Mr Brown."
"Am I that old." He looked displeased and I was confused as to why he would suddenly change his attitude
"Yes, you look a little bit old."
"Eeeeeeh. Even of I look old. Please call me by first name. Please call me Kent." He seemed annoyed by my answer.
"Okay Kent."
"Why don't we find a quiet place to sit since you are not enjoying any of these." He said that as he took out his hand to pull me. We went to look for a quiet place. We ended up in the garden. We sat down. And talked a bit. And after some time. He said that he was thirsty. He called one of his subordinate to bring something to drink.
"What would you like to drink Sandy, ?"he asked.
I did not know what I would like to drink but I was thirsty as well.
"I really don't know"
"Are you for real. Eeeeh. Where are from".he chuckle his voice was so melodious when he laughed it was so deep and strong. And I was not used to this kind of voice as I did not have a male figure around.
"Charles bring two percent alcohol wine for the pretty lady.
The guy on the phone soon arrived carrying a tray with two unknown liquor bottles. Everything was new to me. As I said I have never been out there I was not exposed to this.
Kent poured some wine to my glass after the guy opened the bottles and left. I tested it for the first time and it was so sweet. I could not put the glass down.
"How is it.?"
"It's okay"
"Just okay."
"It's nice."
"How nice?"
"It is sweet."
"Can I taste it, I bet it is not sweet as you." He said that as he leaned and he kissed me. I just froze when I saw his enlarged face in front of me.and before I knew it I felt his lips touching mine. And his lips were a bit cold from the beverage he was sipping and it gave me goose bumps. And first it was just a peck. And he then deepened it.
"Don't you know how to kiss?"
I just shook my head shyly
"How come?"
This is my first time being kissed." He just chuckled. And shook his head.
"It's okay.I will teach you. Just do what I am doing. Just go with the flow. He kissed me again and I responded accordingly. He soon started to breath heavily.
"I don't really feel comfortable here. Why don't we go to my room. " I just nod my head. And besides I was just going with the flow. He led the way and I followed. And the moment he closed the room of his suit he pinned me on the and started to kiss me passionately and my body started to react. I got wet down there and I could feel that he was also out of control as everything got intense. And before long we were both naked and on the bed. I don't know how I got there.
"Shit are you a Virgin?" I just nod without saying anything
"Fuck I don't do virgins." He said that as he stood up going to the bathroom leaving me lying desperately on the bed . And after what seems like forever he came back and he held me to sleep. When we woke up it was the following morning and it really felt warm in his arms. He kissed me on the fore head
"Morning princess"
"Morning" and I blushed when thinking about last night's event. What almost happened. The room was very luxurious and it seems like a presidential suit. And last night I did not find time to admire it as things got intense the moment I walked in. And after that short termed session I just hid under the shits as I was still shy. And right now the beauty that was in front of me was out of this world.
"Please take a bath so that we can join others for break fast"
"Okay" but I could not move. I could not go out of the bed knowing very well that I was naked.
"Why are you not moving?"
"Uhm uhm". I stattered. I did not know how to say it. And he seemed to have realized my dilemma as he shook his head and got out of bed. And I closed my eyes once I realized that he was walking around naked he went to the lounge area and shouted that I should go to the bathroom. I ran to the bathroom ro take a shower like my life depend on it. And soon I heard him telling me that my clothes were ready and he have put it on the chair right outside the bathroom. I walked out wrapped in a towel and took the clothes and soon I walked out properly dressed. I was not a make-up person I only applied lip gloss lightly. After he was done with his shower and he had changed we walked hand in hand to the dining hall where everybody was waiting for us.
When we got there everybody was already there and they seem to be waiting for us. I could sense enviously and jealous glances from the girls around the table. Kent pulled a chair for me and I sat down. He was so caring. This was the kind of care that I have been lacking my whole life. It feels good to be well taken care of and being loved. Soon after our breakfast. Some guy came and whispered in Kent 's ears and he gave him a nod. And he told his subordinates that the other party was ready for a meeting.
And after the guys went to their meeting Mells came over and pulled me away under the curious gazes.
"Tell me what the hell happened yesterday. And how did you vanished, I looked for you everywhere and nobody seemed to know where you disappeared too."
"Kent and I went to the garden,"
"Who???" Here eyes widened in disbelief. You started calling each with first names now. Sandyyyyyy."
"He told me to call him Kent."
And what us going on between you two."
"Nothing is going on. We are just friends"
"Where were you last night.?"
"In his room but nothing happened."
And you expect me to believe you. Sands. Do you think I am a two year old. I rolled my eyes at her
"Think whatever that you want to think. Mells"
But Sands, you cannot spend a night with the world's handsome man and expect me to believe that nothing happened. I know Kent, he is beast in bed. See those ladies on the table there. They wished they were you right now."
Maybe if was them something might have happened.
