chapter thirty-five

Start from the beginning
                                    

Why was she so hard to forget?

Even I knew the answer to that question. An amazing girl, beautiful inside and out. I hit my hands on the rail again, there I was, thinking about her again.

“Mr Raphael” Federico calls from outside and i turn to him.
“You look really distressed, there’s a bar just down the street. They have the best drinks and the best ladies" he winks at the last statement and smiles.

“I don’t know, Federico, I’m really busy" I say but I know that’s a lie.

I finally turn and enter my room and again, I cant think of anyone or anything asides Emiliana. That beautiful night is something that I cant forget.

I walk back outside and call to Federico
“On second thoughts, Federico, I’m ready when you are" and Federico smiles.



Emiliana’s POV
Jasmine already made breakfast and left by 10:00 to meet a male friend for a work project.

By 11:30, I was ready, wearing a blue t-shirt and a jacket, along with a black skinny jeans and white canvas.

I got to the airport where Cassidy was already waiting, with two buff men standing beside her.

She has beautiful blond hair and blue eyes, she is wearing a flowery dress and long strapped dress. She jogs excitedly and her strong French accent hits me.

“Hi, you look stunning, I’m Cassidy “ she says excitedly throwing her hands around my neck and hugging me tightly. Her scent wafts into my nose and i hug her back.

“I’m so excited to have you with me today, i would have been so bored with those two guys" she jokes pointing at her bodyguards.

She ushers me into her private jet. We hold each others other hands as the plane takes off. We both talk for a long time. We eat and have two glasses of red wine.

“You are like the bestest girl ever,  all the other girls at the modelling agency are so bitch, well asides Amanda, she’s cool" she laughs excitedly.

“I have not had this much fun in a long time asides my sister" I laugh along with her.

“We need to go to a party when we land and then play like little kids again" she tickles me and I tell her I agree.

We get to Vegas by 7pm and a car comes to pick us from the airport.

“Thanks for letting me come with you" I say apappreciatingly"

“Nonsense, you can stay at my place till you meet Ralphael” she smiles at me.

I had told her all about Raphael and she was very understanding and kind. I rest a head on her shoulder till we reached her place. A storey building with amazing wall designs and paintings.

When he had dinner, Cassidy makes me wear a light pink dress that reached my lap along with black stilettos.

I was surprised she let me wear her dress even if we just meat like seven hours ago.
“You look beautiful" she gushes adjusting her black fitted dress on her body.

“I never have time for this in nyc so I’m really excited, what if i meet a cute guy there" she places her mouth on her lips and screams.

“We are going to have so much fun" I gush tucking her hair behind her ear. I breathe in ready to have fun today before I start looking for Raphael. I knew that i would find him. But I just don’t know what his reaction would be.

The driver from the airport comes over and picks us again. Cassidy tells her bodyguards to take the night off which they were thankful for.

Cassidy instructs the driver to take us to the best bar nearby and he smiled through he rear mirror at us and he tells us he knows the right place for us.

In less than an Hour, we get to a large scale bar packed with dancing boys and girls and people drinking and making out.

Cassidy yells excitedly as a young man with long hair waves and winks at her.

We find an empty table and order for a shot each.

“I think he cant get enough of you" i mutter looking over head at the man who had finally summoned the courage to walk to our table.

“Mind dancing?, I’m kaiden” he asks.
He looks decent, wearing a polo t-shirt and a jeans. He looked like someone who wasn’t the party type.

He smiles a small smile when Cassidy looks at me for approval and mutters a small apology.

“You can call the driver if you want to leave because I think I already have a ride" she winks at me and walks excitedly with him to the dance floor.

I order for three more shots while still keeping an eye on Cassidy.


Raphael’s POV
This was the worst idea ever, people were throwing themselves all over me and making me drink whatever they had mixed.

This girl Alisha, has been stuck with me since I got here. She clings to me tightly fumbling with my button. Pretty girl, but I wasn’t interested.

“babe, you seem distracted, do you need a new drink or should we leave" she asks edging closer to me and whispering in my ear.

“No, thank you” I say nicely edging away and taking a shot of my drink.

I cross my legs and look towards the door badly wanting to get out of here.

Just then she came in.

And I forgot how to breathe.

I knew it was her, the way she laughed and held her friend I didn’t know tightly. Some heads swing to her direction watching her killer legs and beautiful smile but she didn’t seem to notice because she has her eye focused on the guys waving at her friend.

My heart starts beating fast, it was definitely her but why was she here, dressed like a Goddess waiting for people to worship her.

I cant take my eyes off her as the guy from before walks to her table and drags her friend.

She still has the most beautiful smile on her face as she turns back to her drink. She takes more shots and I don’t know what to do.

Should I meet her or wait. I decide to wait. Maybe I’m just drunk and she’s the only person I can think about.

She takes more shots and I notice her getting tipsy and giggling excitedly with the bar man who seems elated.

Just as i get up to help her before she gets anymore drunk, a lanky boy, with blond hair and saggy trousers offers her a hand which she takes and smiles. He helps her up and his hands snakes around her waist.

Her expression changes and she attempts to wriggle free, her expression turning frightened. The bar man was gone and her friend, maybe has left with her new male friend. He pushes her towards him and i feel my blood boil as i push people away to reach her in time.

I push him away in time and punch him. He groans and covers his bloody nose.

“WHAT THE HELL?” he curses tumbling away.

Emiliana has covered her head with her eyes and when she drops them, her eyes meets with mine.

Her eyes water and she wipes them to be sure that it was not the alcohol deceiving her.

She smiles widely and then opens her mouth to talk

“Ralphael...”its like a whisper but i could hear her perfectly well.

And then, she stands on the tip of her heels and kisses me and just like that, I melt under her touch.
