SNATCHING THE BEST FRIEND OF MY EX-BOYFRIEND

Episode 6: First Encounter

Kingston Pov,

I got ready for the party. It's already 6.30 pm. The party will start at 7.00 pm. I only have 30 minutes to reach the event hall. My driver was waiting for me downstairs at the hotel where I stayed in California. I am wearing royal blue suits to the party. Suddenly I'm feeling nervous about the party. I'm not nervous about the business party. I'm just nervous about meeting Angelina at the party. I didn't feel this kind of feeling before about a woman, but now I'm like a sick love puppy. I'm looking at myself in the mirror to check myself a hundred times now. Do I look good in this suit? Do the royal blue suits look good to me? Does my hairstyle look good? I asked myself and myself the same question a hundred times. I want to prepare very well and best look for Angelina. I feel like I want to impress Angelina. I behave like a teen boy now. If my friends saw me like that, they would tease me to the core. Thank god I'm not with them now. Even if I prepare how to start confession

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my nerves. As I made my way downstairs to meet my driver, I couldn't shake the feeling of anticipation and excitement. The thought of seeing Angelina at the party filled me with a mix of emotions – nervousness, hope, and a strong desire to make a lasting impression. As I stepped into the car, I couldn't help but rehearse in my mind how I would approach her and what I would say to her. It felt like I was preparing for a high-stakes presentation, only this time, the stakes were even higher – it was about winning Angelina's attention and interest. Throughout the drive to the event hall, my thoughts were consumed by the upcoming encounter. I wanted everything to be perfect, from my appearance to my words.

As we arrived at the grand venue, I took a moment to gather my composure. The sound of laughter and music filled the air, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation. With a final deep breath, I stepped out of the car, ready to face the evening's challenges and the enchanting presence of Angelina. As I entered the venue, the grandeur of the event hall took my breath away. The room was adorned with elegant decorations, and the atmosphere was alive with energy and sophistication. I scanned the room, searching for Angelina amidst the crowd. When I finally spotted her, my heart skipped a beat. She looked so stunning in the royal blue dress. I didn't expect that she would also wear the same color as me. The curve of her body fits very well.

I need to find a way to communicate with Angelina. She's busy talking to others at the party. Suddenly, I feel jealous as a guy approaches her and strikes up a conversation. I can't stand the way he's looking at her. I feel the urge to punch him for looking at my girl like that. My girl, my Angelina. She's mine. I don't know why I suddenly feel so possessive over her, but I want to keep her to myself. At that moment, I started to wonder who he was? What's his relationship with Angelina? Are they a couple, or is she married to him? It's been three years since the incident that happened between us.

I know we had a one-night stand only three years ago, and I hurt her by not trusting her and giving her the opportunity to explain to herself the mistake she made. I hurt her and bad-mouthed her character. I know I'm being foolish now. How can a girl love the person who hurt her beyond repair? We had a one-night stand-by mistake. Noah William spiked my drink with a Viagra pill, and I couldn't control my s****l feelings, leading to me having s*x with Angelina.

Angelina had a one-night stand with me to get revenge on Noah William, who cheated on her by sleeping with her best friend. She couldn't take the betrayal from both those who were close to her, so she made a foolish mistake by sleeping with me. That mistake led us to a destiny that we didn’t expect. Out of my anger, I hurt her without listening to her side of the story. After I got to know everything about her intentions and her pain, I regretted the actions I showed her three years ago.

I can't control my anger now. The guy who is talking to Angelina circles his arm around Angelina's waist. I can see Angelina didn't feel comfortable with his touch. From her facial expression, I can tell she hates his touch. I started to approach the direction in which they were standing. "Ms. Angelina, can I have a talk with you for a moment?" I asked her. She looked shocked for a moment. The guy beside her looked at me curiously. She didn't expect me to come to her and ask her to talk. But I'm not going to stand here and watch other guys misbehave with my woman, and most importantly, I need to talk to her also.

"I want to talk to you about the project. Could you please spare me some time?" I asked her. I know if I ask her to talk about our personal matters, she will reject my request. Now, she can not deny my request because I'm now a business partner with Johnson Corporation. As a secretary, she has to communicate with me regarding business. She looked at me for a moment. "Sure, Mr. Kingston," she replied to me. "Mr. Alexander, you have to wait for your fiancée, Ms. Andriana, to show up to the party a little bit longer. I think she's not ready for the party. She's getting ready to impress you. I will take my leave now," she said to the guy named Alexander. I feel relieved when she mentions that the guy beside her has a fiancée, Ms. Andriana, the CEO of Johnson Corporation. So he is not Angelina's boyfriend or husband. Thank goodness.

We move to an empty space where no one will disturb us as we talk. I need to speak to her freely without any interruption. I want to tell her everything that happened after she left New York City. I have to apologize to her for misjudging her. I want to explain that Noah William is the reason for everything that has happened in our lives.

"Mr. Kingston, what do you need to talk to me about? If it's anything regarding the project, you can contact Ms. Andriana. She will guide me in my work as per your request. You don't need to talk to me personally because I'm just the secretary of Johnson Corporation. It's inappropriate to discuss business matters with me," she said to me. She looks so confident when she speaks. The last time I saw her, she couldn't talk to me without stuttering. She has changed so much.

"Ms. Angelina, I didn't want to talk to you about the project. I'm here to discuss our personal matters," I looked at her as I said that. I hope she can understand what I mean by our matter. Her facial expression changed to confusion after that. "What are you talking about, Mr. Kingston? Can you please elaborate on what you are trying to say? Our matter?" she asked me. "Angelina, I want to discuss the incident that occurred three years ago," I finished the sentence, and she began to get angry. "Mr. Kingston, would you please stop talking nonsense?"

She looked so angry. I hadn't seen her like this before. "You are just a business partner with Johnson Corporation. There is nothing more than that related to you and me. If you want to talk about a project, you can refer to Ms. Angelina or Mr. Johnson. They are my bosses. I work for them, not for you. If you excuse me, I have so much to do at the party. And one more thing, just call me Ms. Angelina. My loved ones only have the right to call me Angel." She said that angrily and was about to leave. I can't control my anger now. As she was about to leave, I grasped her wrist to stop her. "I'm not done talking, Angel," I said firmly as I controlled my anger.

"However, Mr. Kingston, I'm done speaking to you. Thus, you'd best get out of my way. I hate being touched by strangers," she said. Did she just state that she doesn't know me? How could she call me a stranger? She attempted to get out of my grasp, but I gripped her wrist firmly. I pulled her close to me as her backside touched my front. I hugged her from behind and brought my face near her ear. Her body shifted at my sudden action. "Oh, really now you say that my touches are disgusting. I remember that three years back, you loved my touch when we were in bed," I whispered to her sensually. I couldn't control my desire. I sniffed her scent. She smells so good. Before I could go on further, she forcefully freed herself from me and slapped me hard on my right cheek. I didn't expect that slap. I looked at her face after the slap. At that moment, I regretted my action. Her eyes started to blur with tears.

She did not say anything. After that, she just ran away from there without looking back. I feel shame for my action. I just lost control when she said that she hated my touch.

How am I going to solve everything?
