Elias's POV
I got dressed in a two pieced tuxedo, ready to leave. Today a party was hosted by Nicolette Larson. Nicolette Larson was my college course mate , and it wouldn't be nice if I didn't attend, and besides Grandma Isn't at home today, she went to her home town at the southern peninsula and wouldn't be coming back until a week after, so for boredom not to kill me , I did need to go.
I took my car keys and told Danny and Higgins to wait behind, I entered my car and drove off. When I got out of the car, reporters came my way , casting different questions.
I made my way through the crowd and got into the hall. It was well decorated - The golden lights casted a luxurious yet warm glow unto the hall, a chandelier was hung in the middle of the hall, the floor was perfectly tiled in white , the hall's glass and wall frame was made of transparent glass, enabling people outside to be able to see what goes on inside.
Making my way towards my seat, I met some of my superiors in the business world . I couldn't help but shake their hands and discuss.
After what felt like minutes, they all left.
Turning my head to the left, I saw her back , she was comfortably chatting with Nicolette. Even from the back , I couldn't wait to know more about her or even see her face. She was putting on 'The Dark Beauty '. - A high class dress worth billions and I heard that it was auctioned off weeks ago and the buyer's details was kept secret. Who is she?. It clung comfortably to her skin , gracefully shaping her curvy hips . Her long waistline hair had a curled edge . She was simply breathtaking.
" Elias, what's wrong with you". My inner voice asked me. " I don't know, maybe it's the alcohol". I told my self, then my thoughts seemed to wander off .
Then Nicolette came towards me with the warmest smile she had ever put on since we graduated. "Elias !!, I see you came today, how are you doing?". She cheerfully asked.
" Nicolette Larson, the top student, why wouldn't I come? . I wouldn't miss it for the world. How's life treating you?". I nonchalantly asked.
" Great , since we broke up...... , (sigh). Elias , I miss you. I miss all that we had . I'm sorry Elias , it was all my fault, I shouldn't have said those words to you. Those words about your grandma and all. "
She tried to take her hands in mine , but I immediately removed my hands.
She continued" I'm sorry. Elias maybe we could call it even and .....". I didn't let her complete her words when I stood up and excused myself.
" I'm sorry , please excuse me ". I trailed her off , then went to the bathroom to clear my head.
Nicolette and I were all lovey dovey , during college until we broke up last year.
She said I was never around, that all I did was to spend time with my grandma.
It's not like my grandma could make me up , or do I want to impregnate my grandma?
She said words that shouldn't come out of her mouth, that If I told Grandma, she'd have faced the consequences a long time ago.
Maybe we weren't made to be . I went into the bathroom, then came out . Suddenly she bumped into me.
She walked past me , at first I let her go , but suddenly, I found myself gripping her hands tight, catching her attention.
"Nora, hold on". She said to the person on the other side of the line.
" What can I do for you?". She said looking down at my hand on her wrist.
She looked up at my face and she was a natural beauty. Even with makeup and a mask on , she looked beautiful. She didn't appear to be someone who liked makeover. She was beautiful.
Her eyes weren't too large or tiny , they were black in color. Her lips were pink , her nose was pointy , her eyelashes long and natural, her hair reaching her waistline, her face was oval in shape. From the mask, I knew she was Naomi Scott, the famous artisian, who made trillions from her latest work of art " Light in the Dark".
" You bumped into me and I want you to apologize". I managed to blurt out .
"Excuse me , you bumped into me , I ignored it and you want me to apologize?". She asked .
" Yes". I answered straightforwardly.
" Look, I'm not in the mood, I'll let it pass. So please let me go ". She sighed.
" No not until you say you're sorry". I insisted.
" No I will not , so please let me go". She said, in anger removing her mask from her face. She was .... beautiful. More than I expected her to be . Her skin was fair , leaving a long lasting effect of nature on her .
Did she put on a mask because of her face , because of her beauty?.
" Yes you will. Now apologize". I insisted.
Suddenly she yanked her hand from my grip , holding her wrist she said " Never ever stop me for something like this. So now if you'll excuse me , I have something more important to attend to". She said and walked away.
She really is rude , very rude. All I did was smirk , I would be directly considered the first to see Naomi's face . So Naomi Scott can be this proud?. She actually is rude , she had a nice expression on , ready to fool anyone. Well , I realized immediately.
After the party , i didn't see her . I headed home and slept comfortably.
