Taking her lower lip first, he kissed her, pecking her chin region right below her lips before kissing her full lips again. He had closed his eyes the moment his lips touched hers and so couldn't see the bewilderment on Victoria's face. She wouldn't admit it to herself but it felt good, maybe it was because she hadn't kissed someone for a long time but she had kissed him before and she was feeling like she felt back then. He was a good kisser, he took his time to explore every part of her lips and his tongue wasn't rough in her mouth, he was so gentle that she didn't know when she had her eyes closed too. She wasn't kissing back but she let him continue. He would have stopped but when he noticed that she wasn't stopping him, he continued, stealing her breath as he kissed her more. When he finally separated his lips from hers, he met her eyes again they still looked confused. "Am I gay?" He asked her in his usual low deep voice and she shook her head slowly. She was lookin
"Dinner is ready, Mrs Topher." He said to her."Is Jake downstairs?" "Yes, Mrs Topher.""He is, huh?" Felix nodded to the second question."He was the one who had me come get you, after the helper I sent returned without you.""I see," She said, her mind thinking of what to do, she needed to show Jake that she was angry about what happened so he didn't repeat it."I'll be there soon."Going down the stairs, she saw Jake seated at the head of the table and as usual, she went all the way to the other end and took a seat, his eyes on her the whole time. He saw that she wasn't all smiley with the helpers when her dinner was brought, it was obvious she was displeased with what he did earlier, she wasn't even looking at him.Don't look, Tori. Don't look. She told herself as she forked some salad into her mouth, she suddenly didn't want to be angry anymore now that she was here seated at the same table with him. She was avoiding looking at him, hoping she could pull it off; pretending like
"Do you think you can use any of these?" Felix asked when she came to where he stood and looked into the pan full of vegetables."Is there any reason I can't use them?" She asked still peering into the pan because they all looked fresh and okay."Not really, it's just that we don't use these things after they become a day old, the chefs get new and fresh vegetables every day.""Every day? It doesn't look bad?" Victoria took one of the red and round tomatoes, looking at it."Maybe I could ask someone to go get you fresh ones...""No," She refused immediately."they look pretty fresh to me. Thanks." She said and Felix smiled, happy that he had tried his best to please her before he left.When he walked out of the kitchen he saw Jake arrive downstairs. Jake was about to retire to bed after his extra time spent at his home office when he noticed that the kitchen lights were on and someone had to be there, it was the only place with bright light downstairs."Why are you still awake?" Jake a
Victoria stumbled through the little crowd at the party trying to find her best friend Amber. She flickered her eyes trying to see but all she saw was blur. She knew she was drunk, she always knew when she was drunk, funny right? That was her; weird Tori. She would always remember what happened to her after a hangover, she could also walk normally no matter how drunk she was, but tonight was different, 'maybe I shouldn't have drunk' she thought to herself, but what could she do, she was miserable after she didn't win the award for model of the year, she had worked her ass off to get to be nominated and then not win, all the early morning, late night coffees. "Tori?! Are you leaving already?" "Amber! Thank goodness I found you, I need help Amber, I'm drunk." "Yeah, I know" "No, you don't get it, I'm like drunk drrunnnk," Victoria stressed the drunk to let her best friend know just how drunk she meant she was. "What did you drink baby girl?" "I don't know...I don't just know, the
Jake walked to the door. Looking at his assistant in front of him, without an expression to predict what he had in mind. "Sir...?" Drew started with fear as he spoke, he knew he shouldn't be disturbing his boss."I...I just got information that a young woman seems to have come around......I did tell them to make this part of the hotel reserved till we leave tomorrow...so no one we didn't come with is supposed to be around this part but...but Evans just informed me that a woman had come up here using the stairs...and we are working on getting more information about her...she's of average height and....." "Come in here." Jake cut him off, walking back inside the room. "Sir...I am very sorry...I didn't want to disturb your sleep, but I had to inform you since we're in a new place like this, we need to be security conscious considering what happened the last time." Said Drew even though his boss didn't look like he was sleeping just now. He closed the door as he entered his boss' room.
Victoria yawned as she sprawled on the bed, almost simultaneously she could feel like a rock was over her head, because of the heaviness she felt. She laid back down, maybe it would stop, but it didn't. She felt a headache. She just wanted to sleep more, but at the same time couldn't go back to sleep, it was frustrating, so she just laid back, staring at the ceiling. Yawning again, it dawned on her; this wasn't her room! 'where am i' She asked herself. Sitting back up, she looked around. She was drunk the last night, that she knew, but she couldn't quite remember much. Raking her brain, trying to get something; all she could remember was finally finding Amber, and walking to the hotel, which was just a little mile away from the award venue....and that was it. "Amber!" She whispered to herself. Getting out of the bed, in a bid to go out to look for Amber, she took just a few steps and her head was hurting like hell. Shaking her head, while trying to open the door, she felt like she
Victoria and Amber had left the hotel. They boarded a cab as soon as they were on a main road. Inside the cab was silent now; they were both asleep, due to their fatigue, and the driver also drove silently."We're here." The driver said as he made the car to a halt. Amber rubbed her eyes, as she yawned."Toriii!" I think we're home already""Huh?"She opened her eyes like she wasn't sleeping just now."We've reached home, get up." Amber pulled her out of the taxi, as the man handed her their handbags. "you know we shouldn't be sleeping in cars." Amber said to the still sleepy Victoria."It's Plaintwood, everyone's family over here. Where are you ladies from?""We're from here." Victoria said."See who's awake now." Amber said to her friend, and the man sniggered."We are from this town. Don't you know us?"Amber now turned to face the driver."What are you, celebrities?" He chuckled once again."Yeah, we are." Amber's reply to his question made him want to laugh more, but he didn't, he
"See why you can't tell your mum?""O my god!" Amber screamed quietly. "So you remember him now?""Maybe.""What do you mean maybe?""I don't remember his face full on, you know.""So what do you remember?""Doesn't matter. I mean it's not like I plan on ever seeing him again, what happened that night was a mistake, and if I ever see him I'll be embarrassed, I swear and mad too.""Are you crazy?" Amber asked Victoria, surprised at her words."you almost had a one night stand with a rich guy like that and you say it doesn't matter? what doesn't matter, you tell me.""Everything Amber. Every goddamn thing! For starters, I was drunk as hell that night, and who knows this guy might be married, probably has kids, can we stop talking about all of this.""No we can't. You can't just assume he has kids, chances are he doesn't and doesn't have a wife also, if we start basing this in probability." Amber said making Victoria sigh, knowing she couldn't win an argument against Amber. She couldn't e
