Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Lucas has been in the hotel for a week now. Dinner with his parents was supposed to be at their house but he told them he was busy with work to visit. He goes to the office for nine hours organizing the whole thing and signing new contracts including models.
Audrey did as he asked making sure all continental dishes were present . Their reservation had a huge table. She had to admit. Lucas was really wealthy using the same box four times in a week. Now she understood what her boss meant by big catch. She's going to get a salary raise. The thought of it made her excited. All her sufferings and insults wasn't wasted.
The Hamilton was seated already including Jenny who called Audrey to a corner.
" Sorry to bother you again but do you know where Lucas is? He's running late"
" Oh. I'll get someone to direct you to the room" said Audrey guessing she wants some lone time with him .
" And one more thing. Your back side who did the surgery? Or did you use cream therapy? Can I have its name? She asked shyly
" Oh I wish. I was born this way courtesy of my mom. " She giggled
" Do you have no other way out? A staff came their way
" Nope. Take her to Mr hamilton's room" she ordered as the staff's face turned scary and adamant
" Just show her. You won't speak to him or see him"
She obeyed and they trailed off to his room while the staff left leaving Jenny wondering why he's a living nightmare everywhere he goes. She heaved a sigh of encouragement and knocked.
" Come in " he muttered brushing his hair .
She entered staring at his sexy back. She only wish he sees her the same way that would have been possible if that anonymously woman didn't ruin everything. Now she has to throw her dignity away to get him.
She picked his tie and handed it to him.
" You look great. Like a real model or should I say a soldier because of the haircut " she commented yet he ignored her . She felt frustrated. He doesn't smile, he isn't kind not even romantic. How will she know when he hasn't said one nice thing to her ever.
" You're such a fine gentleman" she stated caressing his back . He flipped her and she fell on the floor surprised and aching. All her body hurts
" Don't ever touch me again. You slut" he cursed and left . She got up holding her waist and her head was spinning. He's heartless she cursed .
He walked to them and pecked them while he took his seat. The Waiter served them and left .
" We're glad you're back. When are you coming home? Asked his mother
" Next month mom but I'm not gonna live with you guys. I rather live with grandma. That's what grandpa would want" he stated
" We're returning to the states next week. Since you're here . I can focus on my health " said his not so sound father
" Sure dad. I'll drop by before you leave"
" Which means you'll in charge of the jewelry and textile companies as well. " He announced making Luke frown. Do they want him dead with over load of work?
" Yes Dad. I'll check it out tomorrow"
" Thank you son . It's a miracle we still have you " said his mom whimpering.
" That's the past"
" The Morgans wants an audience with you. I think it's regarding you and Jenny. She has loved you since college. Give her a chance son" said his mom
" Do you want me to die an untimely death like my brother? If not drop it" he snapped. His parents sighed in defeat. He could take his time. They were still grieving his eldest brother.
" Let's just eat . Luke is still young and he's a man. He can take his time" stated his grandma
" See ,grams agrees. "
They dined in silence and little chi chat mainly about business and their upcoming charity event and annual meeting. His father discussed the situation in his industry and implore him to do something about it.
They left in a limousine and Luke sent for Audrey. She was beaming with Joy thinking he's going to ask for his bills then check out.
" I'm going somewhere and I want you to be my plus one" he said more like a command
" I think Miss Jenny is meant for such occasions. She's prettier than I am and sophisticated " she refused blandly.
" It wasn't a question.you won't appear in the cameras. I'll make sure of that" he added
" Dress decently please. I don't want men distracted by your enormous butt. I don't know where you got it from" he sneered making her frown
" Now go and get dressed. You've an hour to do that and please do something with that enormous butt" he said again. She wasn't surprised he said please because even the please sounded like a command. It wasn't his fault he had everything.
" Yes Sir. No dressing code right? She asked but he ignored her again
" I guess that's my cue to leave and your grandma is very beautiful" she said earning a glare from him.
" I didn't ask for your opinion. Now go and get dressed" he snapped. She left counting the remaining days. Ah it's still long she complained.she was looking forward to be a free woman again.
She drove home ,took a bath,shaved, brushed again and polish her nails . She quickly applied some makeup and went to Ava to make her hair.
" Are you going on a date? Asked Lola helping with the pedicure
" No. My arrogant client told me that I'm his plus one. I mean he ordered me. Who am I to refuse. Perhaps I might find that special someone there" she said as they all laughed
" Perhaps you've found him already"' teased Ava braiding a side of her hair
" This is why I like your short hair Ava. Easy peasny " she added
" Wow. I have the perfect dress for it. " Says Lola bringing a dress out of her wardrobe
" That will do the magic" said Ava
" He said I should cover my enormous butt" they burst into laughter. They laughed till their ribs cracked
" He's old school then" mocked Lola
" I don't think so." Said Audrey recalling their almost first kiss and blushed
" Audrey you're blushing. You do like him" said Lola
" No. Something has happened.tell us tell us" they urged
" Nothing happened. He's a dick. Thanks for the dress Lola" she said trailing off . He's going to quote to her about lateness . She wore her high-low dress and heels with a clutch purse.
She arrived at the hotel and his drive was already there. He beckoned her to enter. She entered the car and saw him staring dead at her.
" Sorry I'm late. You know a girl got to look good. " She explained to thin air cos he wasn't paying attention to her anymore. He was wearing a grey tux. His hair was slightly curled. He was damn perfect. She cleared her throat and faced her front
" Where are you going? Is it far? I don't stay out late"
" And you're just asking after the car moved? Aren't you too naive for your age? He asked nonchalantly
" That's because it's you. You won't hurt me" she muttered.he looked at her but said nothing
The ride took some minutes before they got there. They alighted and he gave her his hands to hold. She hesitated but held it after he shot her a glare . Bobby was to make sure they were not photographed.
Immediately he entered the building paparazzi surrounded them. Asking him different questions.
" Mr Hamilton is this your woman? Are you trying to tell the press that you don't hate women? What's her name?
" Is she the one? ?
" How long have you been dating?
They asked and asked and asked but he didn't say a word . He just blinked at bobby to do his job.
Audrey entered the hall and was in awe. It felt like heaven. Lucasb looked at her stunned expression and scoffed.
" Stay close to me." He said politely. She held his arm and followed him while he greets everyone. The party was definitely for the rich. A lady asked to dance with him and he refused
" Sorry, my woman is a jealous one" he smiled staring at Audrey urging her to say something with his eyes
" She don't seems to mind. It's just a dance" she stated
" I don't share him. He's mine" She said resting on his shoulder
" You can't stop him if he wants to? She queries
" I don't want to. So get lost' he couldn't help it anymore
" You're just showing off. I know she's not your woman. You simply don't like women" she accused
" I think not" she said holding him while she kissed him . He was stunned but leaned in for the kiss. He held her waist and deepened the kiss ravaging her mouth. Audrey wasn't expecting him to react that much. Their tongues were practically fighting for who is the best.
The girl left as she could tell they had no intention of stopping yet. She left angrily. Lucas didn't let her go. He kissed her till he was satisfied. She thought she was going to die from lack of oxygen. She was gasping for breath as if suffocated.
" I was just trying to play her" she muttered flushed pink
" With a kiss? That was an expensive play. Don't do it again ever" he reprimanded
" You deepened the kiss using your tongue. I wasn't expecting you to react that way since you hate me" she voiced
" Really? You enjoyed it or you could have stopped me" he stated leaving. She wanted to say more but kept it in. Did she really enjoyed his kiss? It was fantastic she smiled.
She drank and drank and drank.she was angry because she was an heavy drinker. She cursed Lucas for bringing her to an event and abandoning her. Although young boys wanted to dance with her Bobb stopped them immediately they made a move.
She finally got drunk and asked for a dance herself. The gentleman accepted and they danced till she changed the dance to a club dance . Swaying her body and hips. Everyone was clapping and staring at her lustfully.
Bobby went to tell Lucas. He told him to take her to the car which bobby did.she was still dancing in the car whenever Lucas arrived.
" Here comes my worst nightmare but a good kisser. Always bossing me around like a hostess. " She lamented
" Just drive Bobb" he ordered ignoring her ranting . she doesn't need to say it. He knows she doesn't like him.
" I'll throw a big party when you finally check out. My life hasn't been the same since you came. Audrey do this Audrey do that. Why bring me to a party if you won't dance with me huh? And nobody asked me for a dance that's unusual. Did you do something" she asked going close to him to check his eyes if he did. He stared at her and chuckled
" You did right? Or I'm becoming uglier. The hunt did that I guess" she said staring at his lips
" You're the most handsome man I have ever seen. A handsome wolf though. " She stated about to kiss him . He drew her closer and kissed her.
" There. is that enough? He asked caressing her hair. He didn't know what was wrong with him. She's drunk for christ sake he muttered
" No. I want more. More More" she grumbled she sat on his lap unknotting his tie
" Audrey! " He snapped telling Bobb to stop.
" Good. Cos we need some privacy" she muttered finding it difficult to unknot the tie. Lucas opened the door and stepped out.
" Take her to the hotel. I'll join you later" he stated. She protest against it shouting. Bobb ignored her. She dozed off and he was relieved.
