After a long bubble bath, I strode into my closet to get dressed for the party tonight. I still had two hours to get ready so I took my time. Picking dresses and throwing them on the floor, looking for the best one to make a good impression on the investors.

Should I go for a bright colored dresses or a dark one? I hate choosing what to wear to anything. Figuring out that I wasn't getting anywhere with my questions, I chose maths as my escape root out of this fashion disaster which is my life. I started slim lining my alternatives until I got to one.

This wasn't my favorite dress actually but that was what my arithmetic had come up with. I picked it from the floor and slid into it. Black, marching my personality, with a little show of skin so they won't think I am a locked up bitch, it was actually a party and not a business meeting.
The all black gown stops somewhere around mid thigh and my legs covered with lace, you could see my skin from that, I think that was enough. Picking out a black jacket, I  walked out of my closet.

In a few minutes I was done with my makeup and ready for the party. My father had asked to see me, so his office was my next place to visit.

"You look stunning my princess" My dad complicated me. I was used to that actually so I felt nothing when he said it. He was a man of words, sugar coated ones.

"You asked to see me dad" I retained my stern face and sat on the one armed chair inside his office.

"With a face like that, you will get wrinkles fast" he teased flashing those dimples at me.

I could feel my eye balls moving to the back of my  head. Was that meant to be a joke? I looked around his office, and it was file-free unlike how I used to see it while growing up. The table was clear, leaving just a golden lamp to help him read at night. My father loved reading, one trait I couldn't get from him.

"Since I can't make you laugh. Dominic is coming to take you to the party" he threw in nonchalantly and returned his attention to the book in his hand.

He knew what he had done. My heart started to beat at a fast rate as I killed my dad over and over again in my mind.

I shouldn't be feeling like this but I can't just help it. My relationship with Dominic is one part of my life I had to accept because of my dad. Dominic was my fiance, or should I say is my fiance and I desist him with every fibre in my being.

My father has failed to see reasons with me and still insisted that we should get married, that it would be go for business. Another sacrifice I have to make for the growth of unseen treasures.

"Dad, I don't need Dominic taking me to any party. I can drive there myself" I tried to remain calm, to see if my father could cancel the plans he has made up in his head. Whenever he does something like this, there was always a reason behind it. He didn't do it for my happiness, he never does anything for my happiness, it's always about him and his company.

"He is your fiance, it won't look good if you both arrived the venue in two different cars" my dad replied, smiling to himself and refusing to look at me.

"Dad, I have my own plans. I don't need you..."

"You will go to the party with Dominic." he cut off my words and made his final remark. Feeling defected that I can't even choose whom to go to the party with, that I can't even talk to father about my feelings, feeling defected that I didn't even own my life. My shoulders slumped, I lifted myself and left the room.

"I'm coming with you" Genesis yelled from the end of the hallway. She ran up to me, already dressed in a red body fitted gown, that had a slit up her chubby thighs. Her make-up was a little bit heavy but it suited her perfectly. The only thing she forgot to do was her hair, it was mess. I know she was expecting me to help her with it, so I beckoned her to come closer, I fixed up her messy hair in a pony tail.

We both got to the sitting room, got seated, waiting for Dominic. My phone buzzed in my hands and it was Jack. Shit! I had totally forgot that I ordered him to come take me to the party. Already confused on what to tell him, the call dropped without me picking.

Should I tell him I had change of plans? But I really needed to see him. Not because of anything special, just to tell him that I didn't fire him, just that.

Jack: Hey, I'm outside your house. And there is scary looking guy, killing me with his eyes. I know I can handle him, but help!

I read the text from Jack like three times. My Jaws were hurting from fighting the laughter that threatened to burst out of my mouth. First he was early, second I know it's Dominic he was referring to. And the image of him taking on Dominic just made me want to laugh more.

"Who's that?" Genesis inquired. I forgot she was just next to me, and I was staring at a text from my PA. I hope she didn't see the contact name.

"it's nobody Gen, let's go. Our ride, rides are outside" I picked up my sliver purse and dragged her up.

On getting outside, two cars were packed. Jack was resting on the driver side of his and Dominic stood tall, his hands in his pockets, all eyes on Jack, who looked like he doesn't even know Dominic was right in front of him.

His hands were folded on his chest and his muscles popped out of his  suit. I tried to removed my mind from the sight and looked at Genesis, who has in fact caught me looking up Jack. She smiled.

"There you are beautiful" that was Jack. He leaned off his car and made his way towards me.

"Don't you dare" Dominic thundered from where he stood. His other free hand was fisted and I feared they would land on Jack's face any moment. Dominic was short tempered.

"It's okay Dom. This is Jack" I tried to ease the tension. Genesis was not helping matters as she was just giggling at the scene.

"I don't care. Get into the car this minute" Dominic ordered and walked to his own driver's side. Opening his door he looked up and saw that I was not moving, his eyes flared up immediately.

"You can't talk to me like that Dominic" my irritation for this arrogant man set in.

"I don't care if you like the way I talk to you or not. Get into this car, let me get out of here" Dominic shouted again and I flinched. He is the only one in my life that could raise his voice at me, my father doesn't. I just hope he was in his study hearing how the man he wants me to marry talks to me. Me, Winner Donald.

"don't you see she doesn't want to go with you, Mr man" that was Jack now. He looked at Dominic for a second and then at me. His eyes softened as they went from my head to my toe, assessing me. Telling me how desirable I looked. I was melting. I met his eyes and I couldn't get myself to look away.

"Winner! Get into this car" Dominic shouted again. This made me look away from Jack and then at Dominic.

"I am not going anywhere with you Dominic" I stated. Jack held out his hands to me and I took it. His hard warm hands enveloped mine. Somewhere in my mind I was getting used to this touch, to this warmth. Even though it's been just twice I felt it. I looked at him again and he lead me into his car.

Genesis followed and entered into the back seat. Constantly clearing her throat, my conscious mind blocked that sound out. Jack was still holding me as we sat silent in the car. He leaned towards me, his scent hitting me again, I inhaled deeply, forcing my eyes to stay open.

"You look beautiful" he said. I didn't hear him at first, my brain was busy, my eyes were looking from his eyes to his lips which were a few inches away from mine. What was I doing?

I got my sense back from where they ran to. "Thank you" I said, readjusted and retrieved my hands from his. They ran cold instantly.

"So, am I your assistant again?" Jack asked and laughed out loud. Now he's back to the same human I hate with passion. I rolled my eyes at him.

There was an awkward silence through out the ride. I couldn't help but beat myself up for letting just the stare from this man right next to me, get to me in such a manner. I was losing my guard and it wasn't funny. The only way to save myself from all this was to fire him, but I  couldn't bring myself to doing that.

We got to the venue and I literally jumped out of the car, hurriedly entered the hall, forgetting Genesis behind. She will probably plan my demise now I'm gone. I really don't care I just wanted to be out of all that heat.

The evening went well, I met with some of investors, who forbade me from talking about work in a party and ordered me to have a good time. I was alone, no Dominic and thankfully no Jack.

I was finally alone, a waiter served me a glass of champagne and I gladly took it. Bye to no drinking at functions rule. I took a sip and found my way to the balcony of the hall. It was cold and I had forgot my jacket in Jack's car. I would manage cause I preferred out here to inside there, which was full of fake smiles and fake people.

I leaned on the railing and took another sip from my glass. My thought free mind started to get filled. The thoughts of my life, thoughts of what I was doing with life, and thoughts of how I would finally end up. My future was so clear, mapped out by my father. I would be married to Dominic by April, I would have two lovely kids and live happily ever after.

I know the happily part of that statement was a lie. I would never be happy. I am not even happy now, I have never been. I took another sip, bowed my head and let the cold breeze caress my bare skin.

Thoughts of what my life would have been if my mother were alive came. I would have been happy, I thought.

I heaved a sigh and took another sip. Slow music was playing inside the hall. I peeped inside and I saw couples of different specs dancing slowing, hand in hand with their partners. My heart sank even more. This party was turning out to be a very bad idea. I didn't get to talk business with the investors, now I was here all alone watching lovers dance.

I leaned on the railing again,  stopping myself from  looking at them before I break down in the open. What does love even feel like? I asked myself.

"A penny for your thoughts" I knew that voice. I closed my eyes and took in the warmth it brought. I stood on my feet and looked at him. My jacket was hanging on his shoulders and it has never looked so good.

"A thousand for my jacket" I threw in shortly. He laughed and handed it over to me.

"you look bored" he bent and leaned towards me, I found myself stepping back rather than stopping him. "I don't like this kind of parties too" he continued. I remained silent cause, I didn't have anything to say. The fact that we were alone here was disturbing my brain.

"Can we dance?" he asked. I arched my brows at him. That wasn't the 'no' my mind had just said. Damn.

"Since you're bored" he reached out his hands before I  could persist, he drew me into him making me land on his broad chest.

"Was that too hard?" I felt his heart beat when he chuckled, I was still standing here because I didn't know how to melt. I buried my head on his chest, till we started moving. His hands were rested just above my butt and I couldn't feel where my hands were. I was so conscious of his skin on me.

"you hands are met to be around my neck, Boss" he stressed the last words and chuckled again. My cheeks were heating up, all I wanted to do was not stop. My thought filled mind was blank now, only filled with his scent and the sound of his heart. I wrapped my hand around his neck, moving to the rhythm on which he lead me.

"You look beautiful" he said again, this time almost as a whisper, his breadth fanning the sensitive skin on neck.

"Don't talk on my neck again" I ordered. Those weren't the words I longed to say. I wanted to tell him to plant a little kiss, just a little one my neck. But the boss in me was in charge, it just wanted a dance.

"OK ma" he said yet again, this time even more softly. He blew air on my neck and I could feel goosebumps on my skin immediately. Before I could protest, he kissed it. Not once, not twice. Tiny little kisses on my neck.

"It won't do it again, ma" he said and then stopped. I was holding my breadth all the while, surpassing my moans. My dirty self wanted more, but the side which I chose decided to gently push him away.

"See you at work tomorrow" I said walking out on my jelly feet. I found Genesis at the door, her dress soiled in champagne.

"What happened?" we both asked together. I looked her down again, and dragged her out the hall.

This was one hell of a party.
