The Billionaire's Blind Date

" Nora, I'm ready , what about you?". Naomi Scott , a young woman, who just returned to her home city after years , got ready for a luxury party set by one of her billionaire friends. She got ready and was looking boldly elegant. She was putting on her ear rings, when she called her best friend to ask if she was ready. She is wearing a stunning black velvet gown, perfect for a high-stakes events. The dress features a halter neckline with a criss-cross detail at the top. The bodice is form-fitting, accentuating the waistline, and flows into a dramatic fishtail skirt. Delicate, sparkling embellishments are strategically placed along the sides of the skirt, adding a touch of glamour. The sheer panels at the sides add a hint of intrigue. The overall effect is one of sophisticated elegance and timeless style. She did a little make-up and took her black purse. Ready to leave , she looked at Nora who was lazily watching Netflix. "Nora , what's your problem , aren't you going anymore?". She asked obviously annoyed by the sight of her best friend relaxing like they had no special event for the night. Turning her head she said - "Going where?. You see, the party was arranged by Nicolette Larson, and I don't like her a little bit , so I'm not going. Besides I'm going late night shopping with your credit card." After her explanation, Naomi finally realized her reasons for not wanting to come . Before she went towards her Lamborghini , she reminded her best friend not to spend it all ,and then she drove off to the party. Getting there, she turned off the engine before she got down from her Lamborghini Ruveulto, she put on her black mask that clung to her face. Naomi's reason for putting on the mask is because she is a lowkey artist , not willing to show her identity like others Words and rumors have it that , no one had ever seen her face and anyone who did could barely catch a glimpse of her. People only recognize Naomi due to the signature sign written on her mask , people know she's the one that way . With that she came down from the car. Immediately she did, flashing cameras began their works. All the attention from rich couples shifted towards her , even when she had no guy to come with her. She gracefully took her steps one by one, her black waistline curled edge hair was bouncing and her earrings and necklace shining brightly , the bracket on her wrist didn't seem to fail to present itself also, she left no room for posing, instead , she went straight into the hall. Reporters were flooding her with comments and questions , but she maintained her composure and chose not to answer any of their questions. Getting into the hall, the first person she wanted to see was Nicolette Larson, immediately their eyes met and a sudden wave of excitement washed over them as they walked towards each other. " OMG!!!, Naomi , I thought you couldn't make it , how come you changed your mind?". " Why wouldn't I come to the party hosted by Nicolette Larson herself. How are you doing girl?". She asked. They kept on chatting endlessly, people kept on passing by, the men drooling over the two women while the women sent deadly daggers right at Naomi who didn't seem to bother. Nicolette just had the chance to take a good look at Naomi , when she finally noticed what she was wearing. " Naomi , what is this?. You have it?". She excitedly said and continued " The Dark Beauty". " Made by David Harson the top one best fashion designer. I knew this was sold , but the buyer's details was kept secret. I tried my best to dig out the buyer's info , and couldn't find anything, so it was you. You have 'The Dark Beauty!!'. Wait , how sure are you that it isn't a counterfeit?" " Yes I do and do I look like I do counterfeits? Also, I kept my information under wraps to avoid unnecessary attention. When you invited me to the party , I knew it would the best dress I would ever want to wear here , so I did". She explained. Once again, they hugged each other, gently patting each other's back as they sank into each other's embrace. " Wait where's Nora? . I invited you both but she isn't here . Why?". She immediately thought about what to say . " Oh yeah about that, what really happened was......... She had plans already with her boyfriend, so she couldn't make it". She smoothly lied " Oh that's okay , you take a seat there , let me welcome the other guests and we'll talk more later , see you". She waved then began attending to others. Naomi looked around and saw that the wide and gigantic hall was well decorated. The chandelier hung up, the golden lights lit up the whole hall giving it an exquisite touch . The tables were set in circles, the music was playing, the floor was amazingly tiled and the moon was displayed through the transparent glass. "This is beauty," she thought. She sat , enjoying the company of social media. " Naomi Scott, is the buyer of 'The Dark Beauty '. " Famous Artist, Naomi Scott appears at Nicolette Larson's party". " What is this!!!? , ' The Dark Beauty '." " Dark Beauty's buyer revealed". " Naomi Scott, tonight's Queen". " Naomi meets Nicolette". " Truly, she's worth 'The Dark Beauty '." " She's an inspiration". She read all the headlines on reports for tonight's party , and she was the main focus. Although she didn't like fame and all , a smile of satisfaction gently crept unto her face. The smile suddenly disappeared when she received different alerts. " 136xxxxxxxxx34. Five million has been debited from your credit card". " 136xxxxxxxxx34. Three thousand dollars has been debited from your account". Immediately she knew who this came from . In anger , she dialed Nora's number. It rang like six times before the receiver picked. " Hey . Wassup?". " Wassup, you're spending lavishly Nora!!". " I can't hear you, the music's too loud, I'll talk to you later". With that, Nora cut the call. She furiously stood up and went to the bathroom, where the noise was less , to call again. " Nora!!! What is wrong with you?. You spend too lavishly. " The person on the other end pouted and said " I can spend my best friend's cash , even when we're equally rich". " I know I have the cash and all but learn to be a little less of a lavish spender. You've nearly killed the credit card. Bestie , I love you and all , but be gentle while spending". " But there's love in sharing. I'm going somewhere else, bye ". The call ended, and she took a look at her reflection in the mirror. She still looked okay . She cleared her throat and made her way out , when she received a call . " Hello Naomi , so I won't be coming home tonight, there's this really handsome guy who's willing to spend the night, can I go?". She asked . Naomi couldn't believe what she was hearing. " Young woman, I mustn't get home before you". She warned. " But Naomi , he's incredibly hot.". She complained. " No!!!, what if he hurts you and then you start crying?". " I promise he won't so now can I go , I'm in need to spend some time with a stress reliever ". Naomi suddenly bumped into someone, in fact the person bumped into her , but she decided not to retaliate and continued her discussion. " Nora , why are you nagging?. , I can't let you get hurt ". " But Naomi , it isn't like it's the first time I'm sleeping with a man , or you are . So what's the big deal?". A tight grip landed on her arm and she looked back just to see a handsome man with striking features. " Nora , hold on". She said. " So can I go?, thanks I love you. ". She said as Naomi placed her hands down and stared at the man standing before her . " What can I do , for you?". She asked staring down at the hand that was firmly holding her wrist. " You bumped into me and I want you to apologize". His deep baritone voice straightforwardly demanded. " Excuse me , you bumped into me and I ignored it and you want me to beg?". She said already furious. " Yes ". He simply replied. " Look I'm not in the mood, so I'll let this pass. Please let go of me". She sighed. " No, not until you say you're sorry". He insisted. " No I will not. So please let me go". She said leaving her innocence behind. She unconsciously removed her mask from her face , revealing nature's beauty. She had been provoked before and he is adding fuel to her fire. " Yes you will. Now apologize". He still insisted. She yanked her hand away from his grip and looked at him with raging eyes. " Never ever stop me for anything like this , never!!, so please excuse me , I have something more important to attend to". She stated and placed the phone on her ear , leaving the man standing there with a smirk on his face. Putting the phone close to her ear again she heard sounds of her best friend . Nora's voice went through the phone. Not ready to hear people having i*********e , she freaked out . " Ewww. No!!!". Naomi shouted cutting the cal by tapping the end button countless times. During the whole party and all , everything went fine and she didn't meet the man from earlier again. The party was over and she said her goodbye to Nicolette. Getting into her car, she drove off. Nora wasn't at home , so she made dinner herself and went to bed. Hopefully she'd have the strength to scold Nora when she gets back.
