The weekend was already here, and layla was not giving Stacey a break , they were allover looking for nice dresses. Layla wanted the best for Stacey; she wanted her to finally start going out ,she had been all to herself turning down everyone who came to her and had put all her focus on nothing but her work and son.
"Come on layla this one is too luxurious , what am i now , a princess " Stacey said as the two of them laughed there ribs out.
" now that's just the perfect dress, am sure you will get some hot handsome man at the party looking that sexy , "layla said finally breaking off the laughter.
"layla you will never give up will you? " Stacey said looking back at layla "you know very well now i got Brandon , am not commiting myself to another relationship" Stacey said her voice sounding abit hurt.
"who said a thing about commitment , i just want you to have some fun okay , cause am gonna have so much fun , my crush will be attending and am definately not loosing this chance" layla changed the topic brightening stacey mood.
"Waait Alvin Bid will be there?" Stacey said very excited for her friend.
" but ofcourse, am gonna have him all to myself" Stacey was now laughing, layla always amazed her , how she always went for things she wanted, she was so brave at times , she just couldn't believe she was actually going to hit on Alvin Bid; a comedian who left his audience laughing their lives to death every show , well they pretty did match but then , this just seemed unbelievable.
"Whats so funny now?" Layla said to Stacey who was trying to catch her breath after laughing her ribs out .
"No, am just happy for you and i wish you all the luck layla "
The two women made there way home after a crazy day of shopping .
Brandon had already gone over to Mr John's, he arrived with a warm welcome from the old man who was really fascinated with the little boy.
The party had started at exactly 6.30pm paparazzi were all over , along with all the media people .Stacey was so nervous it was long before she last attended a fancy ball. She had stopped , the day she broke up with her one and only lover.Here she was now all dressed up , not hoping to attract some rich famous men as layla had put it.
Layla was just beyond beautiful, she really outdid herself , she was in a short pink dress with some really nice heels, her hair well made , and the make up done on her face was to die for, one couldn't tell she was a doctor.
The two girls arrived at around 8.30pm , everyone had arrived and some were still on there way as the event went down.
Alvin Bid spoted layla who was heading his way, he stopped one of the catering people, to bring two drinks before layla arrived.
"Hey there handsome" layla was really determined to do this.
Alvin Bid was gazing at her seductively from her head heading down and stopped just at her chest , layla noticed making her blush looking back at him.
"Hey , beautiful" he answered back winking back at layla .This took her to cloud nine, did he just wink at her.
Stacey spotted layla who seemed to he having a great time , she gave her a thumbs up , as Stacey continued greeting some bussines friends.
She had just greeted so many people already who were surprised to see her, as she had really played low for a long time.
"Stacey i thought you were dead , , , what brought you back to life all this years" it was Annet she was an old enemy to stacey
" Hey Annet long time no see" Stacey answered her back politely not intending for a an argument with her , there woes head back to campus. Annet was once Justin girlfriend before he dumped her for stacey.
" spare me your pretence , tell me how does it feel now being dumped , poor girl you thought Justin would marry you , look at you now , i bet even if you are dating, its just another foolish man, karma must have hit you hard."
" Come on Annet , i just cant believe that you are still foolishly holding on to things that happened in the past.... excuse me" Stacey said trying to walk away but Annet hold her hand back.
" not so first Stacey am not done here, " Annet said at her looking mad "unless you want me to create a scene you know am good at that."
" yeah we all do know that , Annet "Elena interupted her "now let her hand go if you don't want to be kicked out of here like the bitch you are"
Elena looked straight at her with threatening eyes , Annet let stacey's hand go and looked at her, with vengance.
"Its not yet over" as she walked away.
" she is such a pain in the ass" Stacey said with abit of relief "thanks Elena i was beginning to loose my patience with her"
"don't mention it, am sure you would have tone her apart just like back in the days " both of them laughed at that , Stacey was quite a tough girl back then and she hadn't change much.
"You bet elena" she said as she took a sip of her drink.
" may i have this dance miss, i might say you look quite sexy" the two girls were interupted by the two famous musicians , Erick Harts and Joel Harts.
" sure she may , go on stey have some fan" Elena answered back as stacey had gone silent not knowing to say a yes or a no.
"damn i have really been off" she said to herself as she took Erick Harts hand to the dancefloor.
"How about you , i would love to dance with a charming lady like you" Joel Harts said to Elena who was smiling back at Stacey.
"Sure Joel, i hope you wont melt me with your sweet lyrics" Elena said smilling back at him.
Justin was busy with his calls , he was doing his best to avoid his annoying wife. He didn't intend to attend the party if it were not for his mother , he was still mad at Sandra after what she had told his mother.
He was answering another call outside the ball room but from a view point that one could see everyone inside the ball room, when he noticed her; Stacey she was in a blue dress that drew her curves so well, her long hair well kept, and her smile as beautiful as always , he felt a pang of jealousy hit him, when he saw her dancing with Erick Hart, and her smile reminded him of all the happy moments he shared with her.
He didn't realise himself making his way towards the ballroom to the dancefloor, passing his wife who was hoping he would ask her for a dance, she had put her hand out thinking he was coming to her , only to see him cross straight over to where Stacey was and snatching her from Erick arms.
" Justin!?" Stacey was shocked and abit relieved being set free from the hands of Erick who was making her feel uncomfortable.
It got her by surprise that it was Justin the man who hurt her so much, her thoughts were running so fast in her head. The instant she was in his arms all her anger vanished she was now lost in his scent that sweet, scent that always drove her crazy, his muscular arms that were holding her like a helpless little girl , his eyes staring straight at her , sending out messages of how he had missed her, how he is truly sorry, how he really wants her right now , Stacey couldn't help but look back at him, they both stared at each other dancing , questions ran through Stacey mind , why was she in the first place letting him touch her , but she liked it, his touch , the way he was looking at her right now , she liked being in his arms , she loved this man ; even if he had wronged her she loved him dearly. He noticed his eyes were now looking straight at her lips, she looked back at him he was now putting out a tip of his toungue out, she knew what that mean, and yes she wanted that too;a kiss, she longed for it as well.
" no ! no! no!"her brain screamed at her , tears were now loaded at her eyes waiting to fall , she didn't know what voice to listen to, her heart or her brain, Justin still had the effect on her, they were now so close , she could feel his breath, his heartbeat, his desires burning out, her desires struggling to be satisfied, their lips an inch further from each other, His hands that were now holding her right cheek so softly, how she had missed that touch.
Sandra looked at them with so much anger, she felt like going straight to them and beat the hell out of that woman who was getting so close to her husband , she was walking towards them when Elena stopped her.
"Stacey, , , " Justin called to her as she head straight out, from his arms, she was now almost tearing up. Justin followed her outside.
" Stacey , please just this one dance"
"No , i have to go home" Stacey answered back trying to be brave hiding her tears from him.
"Stacey would you please look at me , it's been years and i have really missed you. Lets go have a dance" his voice was abit comanding now.
"I said no and thats final, next time don't comand me or snatch me from people, if you want me to dance with you , exuse me i have to go now" she walked away but Justin hold on to her hand , his eyes pleading her not to leave him , despair in his eyes, he loved her , and stacey felt it.
"Honey" sandra interupted there moment Justin eyes turned cold now his face annoyed as he turned to his wife.
"What!" he said back at her with a stern look.
"so thats your mistress, that ugly slut is your mistress huh?"sandra said coming closer to him , his anger now rising as he still hold on to Stacey hands .
" mind your toungue woman" Justin hissed at her "and excuse us we still got unfinished business here"
" no! we are done " Stacey stoped him "now let me go"
"Am not leaving , this is going to be settled now i wont let some hoe...." Sandra received a hefty slap from Justin , he just couldn't stand that tone she was using on him and how dare she call stacey a hoe .
Stacey was shocked beyond words on seeing what Justin had just done , the man she knew never laid a finger to a woman;she walked out on them as quick as she could.
"Stacey, , , " Justin called out to her.
" how dare you slap me Justin , , " Sandra was now raged with anger throwing her hands at Justin who was holding her arms tightly.
" behave! before i give you a beating you will never forget ! " Justin shouted at her almost attracting attention from a few people .
He chased after Stacey leaving sandra all by herself and warning her not to dare follow her.
Stacey was now waiting for a taxi to come over so that she can go far from this place.
" Stacey, dont leave so early" Justin had reach to her as she was still waiting for a taxi.
"I dont want to stay at this place , besides you should be attending to your wife" Stacey answered him annoyed and abit excited seeing he had left his wife to come to her.
" you are my first wife stey, you know that,and my only love , i want to spend the rest of my evening with you by my side. i have missed you Stacey " he was now coming close to her holding her close to him looking her in the eye , she couldn't resist him looking at her like she was a damn goddes , she was angry but her heart was all excited especially after he reminded her that she was still his first wife and his only love, all the feelings back at the ballroom were coming back.
"come with me Stacey, i want to show you something .
