TOUCH ME SLOWLY

The party was filled with the most influential figures in the country. Business men and women are all gathered. It is not just a party, it is an occasion to give awards to the company that did well and their Ceos. Everyone began to mutter has she came in with her husband, who is she and who is her husband She is Celeste Dolgado, the wife of Ivan Dolgado. Well she was forced to become his wife by her parents, she never loved him and she does not think she ever will. “Smile, people are watching,” Ivan said to her. “Smile, there is nothing to smile about you and I know that I don't want to be here” she replied, apart from not wanting to marry him Celeste is an introvert she prefers to be in her room, reading. “You are my wife so you will go anywhere I go to” he said and she scoffed, she knows there's no use talking to him. She swallowed hard when she saw him, the guy that always make her knees weak, Damien Blackwood Their eyes met and he winked at her “Let's have our seat” Ivan said and they walked to the VIP table. Damien came and sat beside her “You should sit somewhere else Damien,” Ivan said. “And why should I, I like the view from here and beside I get to sit next to a beautiful and sexy lady” Damien said referring to Celeste “How dare you” Ivan shouted and punched him. “Ivan leave it, let's not cause a commotion, please” Celeste said. “Don't you dare talk about my wife like that,” Ivan said. “I bet your wife loves the words I said to her, I saw her blushed when I said it” Damien said. “Damien cut it out, stop your silliness” Celeste said. “Whatever you say, you know I will do anything for you” Damien winked. “Alright, Alright we welcome everyone to this party, we know this is not just a party but an occasion we do every end of the year to celebrate the best company and the best Ceo in the country, so we will watch about each company before we announce the winner” the Mc said. Then the front wall screen came on displaying the names of companies and what they produce. Ivan Dolgado has a company that produce cars Daniel's company produces the same thing but he also produces trains, planes and private jets, he is known as the richest man in the country. They watched it for a few minutes before the Mc climbed the stage again to announce the winner. “And this year award goes to DB enterprise owned by our very own Damien Blackwood, he produced the best car this year, a car that drive itself” the Mc said and everyone began to clap except Ivan “Damien is so good he has won the award 4 times in a row now he does not want to give Ivan a chance” someone from the crowd shouted. “Who is Ivan? He is nowhere near Damien,” another one said. Ivan hearing their words was boiling inside, he glared hard as Damien climbed the stage to collect the award and give his speech. “I dedicate this award to all the people working in DB, without them I won't have won and I also dedicate it to someone special even though she kind of hate me which I know is just a pretense, I hope she give me a space again to prove to her how much of a gentleman I can be” he said staring at Celeste, he was obviously referring to her. “Is she here right now?” someone asked. “She has to give you a chance,” another said. “She is so lucky I wish I was the one you dedicate the award to” Damien climbed down from the stage and walked back to his seat. “So anyone interested in dancing should head to the dance floor now” the Mc said. “Let's dance,” Damien said to Celeste. “She has a partner and I am here with her so if she is interested in dancing I am her first and last option” Ivan butted in. “Please Ivan. I am sorry Damien but I don't want to dance, Ivan let's just go home” Celeste said standing before walking away. “Enjoy the Ceo awards while you can but I promise you next year is my turn. “That's the exact words you say every time I win and I will say the exact words I always say to you Bring it On” Damien smirked and walked away. “That son of a bi**ch” Ivan huffed. **** Celeste sighed remembering Damien's words, she knows he is referring to her, but she can't do a thing about it she is married now and even though she is not married she is not going to give him a chance, he did something to her in the past which she can't bring herself to forgive him for it. “Damien stop chasing me around, I have moved on” she thought, Ivan barged into room “I don't like you near Damien,” he said. “You should learn how to knock,” she scoffed. “Tell me why I should knock on my wife's door in case you have forgotten I am your husband,” he said. “In case you have also forgotten I was forced to be your wife Ivan, I had dreams of my own” she retorted. “Does that include Damien, I saw the way you stare at him you still have feelings for him” he said. “I feel nothing for him, Damien is my past, whatever is going on between us leave Damien out of it” she said. “Just don't ever feel anything for him, you know how dangerous I can be, you belong to me alone” he said before walking out. “I used to be happy what changed”
