Revenge

Jazz Party

    I tried to stay focus the rest of the day, but the thought of what happened with Mr. Daniels had me unfocused on what I needed my focus on.

    "Ms. Banks everything is up to date with the Jazz party for the Jasper's, and the Whitfield's are ecstatic with the websites you have updated and gave the green light to release, also the Gray's are fascinated with the  brochures and flyers, also I wanted to know the 4-1-1 on the party anniversary for the Daniels."  

    Lindsey stated as she kept looking down her notepad of checklists.

    "Lindsey you know it isn't nice to not make eye contact."

    "Huh, ummm sorry Ms. Banks." She still wasn't making eye contact.

    "Lindsey I already told you not to feel bad about what happened earlier it happens,  don't worry. Now that we managed phase one of looking your boss in the eye when speaking, can you please make sure all arrangements are up to par for the Jasper's Jazz party tonight. I really want to be out of here before 2 pm today, to be early and make sure everything is in order tonight.  And the 4-1-1 on the Daniels, well its been postponed, but we will discuss those details tomorrow."

     I smiled and Lindsey's expression is one that really made me feel like she was more than an assistant to me, but a little sister. Yes, the girl could talk 50 mph but in the end her intentions were always for the best.

    "Yes, Ms. Banks, I am on it, which reminds me is it okay I bring a date for the party tonight?"

    Hmm, date,  that never crossed my mind. You see relationships for me were overrated, and to be honest running a company I had barley time to even think of a relationship or even that a date. That's why I started this company to keep me busy and not running around all lovey dozily over a man.

    "Ms. Banks?"

    "Oh sorry, Lindsey of course you can as long as this 'date' doesn't distract you much tonight."

    "Thank you! Ms. Banks!"  Lindsey started jumping up and down like a high school girl and even ended up hugging me. She realized she crossed the line when she saw my surprised expression. 

    "Sorry Ms. Banks it won't happen again."

    I smiled and hugged her back which caught her off guard, since I am usually very uptight, but when it came to Lindsey she had the tendency to get the good side out of me.

    "It's okay I will see you tonight at 7 pm don't be late and remember to be on your A game tonight. This Jazz party has to be a hit, and hopefully the Jasper's can continue doing business with us."

    "Yes Ms.Banks I am on it. Oh and by the way I sent your dress to your condo and also found the perfect shoes to go with it. Do you still want me to send Mario for hair and make up and what time?"

    "No it's okay I can manage." 

    With a smile Lindsey dismissed herself and I started reviewing the schedule the next day. So far everything was up to date and just 30 minutes to spare I had time to visit my favorite  coffee shop around the corner from my office.

 LATER ON:

      As I arrived home  putting my iced latte in the kitchen, I started heading to the shower. Under the steaming water all I could do was relax and feel as if I never wanted to leave, but stay in, washing off all the stress of a days work and even started to reminisce the blue eyes of the man that stir up feelings that I thought I would never, feel.Not ever since... Shaking that thought out the way I finished up and walked to my room where I saw my "Tina Turner" sparkling black dress on my bed. I went to my jewelry cabinet and found a pearl necklace and earrings that would go well with the dress. Took out some silky long black gloves and fishnets to bring the outfit together.I walked to my vanity and looked in the mirror,  I quickly applied my foundation, a smoky silvery yet simple eye shadow, and red lipstick that gave my small plump lips life. I pinned my hair in a low bun and added black feathers and a pearl head piece to it.. After I was satisfied with the look I accomplished, I couldn't help but notice how different I looked.  I slipped on the dress, and saw how it hugged my curves perfectly and the silver stilettos just made everything come together perfectly.Taking one last glimpse of myself I smiled and winked. I headed out the door to start hosting a party no one could forget.

    Arriving 15 minutes early I started making sure everything was up to date. Jazz musicians check,  tables check, lights check, food check, decor amazing double check. Looking at the venue it was a 20's theme. Very sophisticated black and white with a hint of silver sparkle.In the back, tables were set under glistening lights where the lake view could take your breath away. In the corner poker tables and a roulette table was set. Really gave you the 20's type of vibe especially with the dim lighting.  It felt mellow and and calm. A perfect night was up ahead and I can honestly say I was happy and pleased for how everything was turning out.

    "Ms. Banks, I want you to meet Jake Hopper, my date."

     Lindsey blurted out startling me out of my thoughts. As I looked at Lindsey, her dark silver knee length dressed hugged her skinny body. She did a smoky eye shadow look and had red lipstick. Her golden hair was pinned up and she wore a small black hat with a veil. I can say the girl was committed. Next to her was a tall blonde headed brown eyed man. And his half buttoned up white shirt had a great view of his large peck that was ready to bust out of the shirt. I could honestly say the girl has taste.

    "Hello Mr. Hopper, its my pleasure."

    "The pleasure is all mine ma'am."

     He took out his hand for a formal handshake and from his grip I could tell he was a well mannered gentleman. But the southern accent literally threw me off. I was starting to wonder how a southern gentleman like himself ended up all the way in California.

    "Thank you, umm Lindsey everything is set up and I already went through the check list. All we have to do is wait for the Jasper's to arrive and let in the guests."

    "Madeline, darling everything looks amazing!" Mrs. Jasper gasped.  

    For a woman in her fifties the lady still got it.  She wore a small black dress and had a fur coat over her shoulder. With her green eyes glistening in the light and the make up she did made her look young. Nice cat eye, light foundation and her red ruby lips, made her stand out in a way. And her body was literally that of a Milf, and Mr. Jasper was on her tail praising her as if she was the queen of all queens.

    "Yes Madeline, we thought you wouldn't pull it off, but you went beyond our expectation." He gave me a smile of confirmation of his satisfaction.

    "You are very welcome, whenever you are ready we can let the guest come in and start the party." 

    "Well honey, lets give our guests a night they will never forget!" Mr. Jasper wrapped his arm around his wife's small waist and started for the entrance where all the guests were waiting to come in.

     Four hours have passed and the guest were enjoying themselves. The band was playing upbeat music, and I can not think of a moment where the dance floor was empty. My eye caught Lindsey dancing and can I just say the girl was swinging her hips like there was no tomorrow. I laughed as I saw everyone enjoy themselves.

    "Now how can a beautiful doll like you not be out there with someone on the dance floor and just standing on the sidelines." My heart stopped as I recognized that voice.

    "Mr. Daniels, I didn't expect you to be here tonight?" I said as I turned around and saw the man in an all black and white tuxedo. His dark brown hair was slicked back giving him the illusion of a mysterious man in  the night.  'Mysterious was good in a way,' I thought.

    "Yes, Ms.banks I am good friends with the Jasper's, you can say they are friends of the family."

    I smiled and took a sip of my cocktail trying to avoid his blue eyes. My goodness can this man get underneath my skin. 

    "Well, Mr. Daniels enjoy the evening and talk to you soon."

     I tried to get by him and make my escape when he took his arm and wrapped it behind my back making his move he pulled me against his chest. I looked in his eyes, and all I could see was lust in them. I breathed hard and pressed my free hand against his chest but all that did was make his grip tighter.

    "Ms. Banks, why are you trying to get away from me? Am I scaring you or is there something else?" With that he held me tighter letting me know the arousal that was growing downstairs. I gasped.

    "Nothing is wrong Mr. Daniels and you scaring me, please. I am the host of this party and I need to ensure everything is going well." He smirked and looked around.

    "Well I can ensure you that everything is going well, and I believe the hostess should at least please the guests with a dance."  The man did have a point but still there was something about him that didn't feel right.

    "Adam! My good man! You made it!" In that instant his grip loosened and finally I was set free. We turned to see Mr. Jasper coming our way, embracing Mr. Daniels with a hug and offering a cigar. In that moment I scattered away without looking back, and I could feel the daggers of the man stabbing me in the back.

    I went outside to get some air and behold to my surprise.

    "Madeline yoo-hoo!!

     You have got to be kidding me, standing in the distance were my parents and of course my 'sweet cousin.'

     Kathy was a few years younger than me and my parents took her in when she was only 6 years old after her parents just dropped her off at our house one day. I was excited to be a big sister and at first we had a close relationship, but once I started dating, the girl would just throw herself to every man I dated, heck even if the men were my friends she threw herself at them. At one point I literally thought the girl wanted my life. That's why when the opportunity came I went off to college and when I came back home started my business A.S.A.P and moved out. My mother of course covered for her and always gave me the, 'Honey understand her, her parents left her and she didn't have no one else speech.' So when it came to it I just stood back and tried to ignore and push everything to the side. Of course me and my mother had a close relationship but it sucked because every time I wanted to shine, Kathy made a way to have the attention to herself. But my mother always made it up to me letting me know she was proud of the woman I have become. And my father, he was everything to me. We toke the dad-daughter relationship to a whole other level.

    "Hi guys! When did you get here?" I smiled as I went over to hug them.

    "Not to long hun, we ran into Lindsey and she said we would find you out here." My mother said as she embraced me.

    "Wow honey you really outdid yourself this time. I know the Jasper's must be happy with the party's success." My father said as he was eyeing all the details around him.

    "Yea good job sis, like always nothing is a challenge for you!" Kathy said sarcastically.

    "Thanks guys, well enjoy yourselves I have to check on somethings inside once I am done , Dad can we have a dance like old times?"

    "Of course hun just point me to the bar so I can start loosening up." My dad started busting out his moves when we all started laughing.  Suddenly I felt an arm around my back.

    "But darling I thought you were saving the first dance for me?" 

    I looked up to, who else Adam Daniels. My father stood shock, and my mother had the look any mother would have at the thought of her daughter finding someone to give her grandchildren, and Kathy was calm and quiet which was unusual. Damn this man, can't he take a hint. I slowly removed his arm around me.

    "First off, I am not your darling and second keep your hands to yourself!"

    "Madeline, where are your manners. With such a fine looking man you should be lucky to be receiving such attention." And there it was my mother people.

    " Hi there, I am Clark Banks, my wife Linda Banks and our niece Kathy Glenn." My father said introducing the family.  

    Adam smiled as he shook everyone's hands, although he kissed my mother's and Kathy's hand and complimented the ladies on how beautiful they are.

    "I must say Mr. Banks you are one lucky man to have some beautiful gems around you."

    My mother started laughing and was she.. yes she was she was blushing!

    "Oh stop it you are just telling stories now!" My mother exclaimed.

    My father noticed how uncomfortable I was, either that or he noticed the daggers I was throwing at the man who just came in with no one's permission.

    "Well if you will excuse us, Madeline may I have this dance?" Thank Goodness!  Daddy to the rescue!

    "Yes father!" I smiled, taking his arm as he led us to the dance floor.

    A slow tuned started playing, and I wrapped my arms around my fathers neck and laid my head on his chest. He swayed as back and forth holding me tight, making me feel safe and secure. 

    "Madeline, can you please inform your father what was that back there?"

    "Dad, Not now please."

    "Well, darling its not like you to treat people that way, and if I can put my two cents in I can tell that Mr. Daniels is very infatuated with you. Plus he hasn't stop staring at us since we started dancing." 

    I glimpse over to the direction my father was looking and noticed the blue eyes that were hard to forget. What was this man doing to me? How could a person just walk into your life and easily make you go 0 to 100 without even trying? Maybe it was all in my head.

    "Father, Mr. Daniels is just a client, he came today to offer a proposition to expand his father's store, and you know me, just helping the needy."

     I smiled and my father laughed noticing the sarcastic tone in my voice.

    "Okay, Madeline whatever you say."

     He smiled and I looked into the same identical dark brown eyes as mine. We continued to dance as the last tune of the song was strung out.

    "May, I sir." 

    Me and my father stopped and turned around to see Mr. Daniels standing with his hand out. My father placed my hand into Mr. Daniels and said,

    "You may, sir. Madeline I will see you tomorrow at home, me, your mother, and Kathy are leaving. I am very proud of you hun."

     And with that he kissed my forehead and disappeared into the crowd leaving me with HIM. Mr. Daniels wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. At first I wanted to pull away, but then a thought came to my mind, 'Two can play this game,' I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck and we started slow dancing to the next smooth song of jazz. We stared into each others eyes waiting for the other to break the trance. And to my surprise it was him.

    "Madeline, if I may call you that, I am sorry for how I have acted tonight."

    'HUH, where did that come from?'

    "You see, if I may be honest, ever since this morning when I saw you," There was a pause as he looked me back into my eyes,

    "I can't stop thinking about you. Its like you woke up a beast that was hidden inside of me, sort to say. I can't stop the feeling of having you close as I do right now, feeling your soft skin against mine, imagining tasting those soft lips of yours."

     And with that he leaned in and kissed me. HE KISSED ME!! And I didn't do anything but let him. I let him explore my lips, letting him take control of my mouth, I ended up opening  my mouth to give him more access, letting his tongue conquer inside of me. I was shaking and moaned as he bit my bottom lip, then holding me tight feeling his growing flesh on my thigh. He continued to conquer and torture my lips, making me feel like I was in a trance. Waves of pleasure started rushing from my core, making me feel as if I couldn't stand, which made me hold him tighter feeling his flesh grow even larger. And then that's when I pulled away shock of the scene that has just occurred, and ran off.

     Leaving him in shocked and alone on the dance floor.
