The screams distracted me from the reporters' questions. I turned to see what was causing the commotion, and there she was, squeezing her friend as viscous liquid dripped down her clothes. I left the reporters and ran toward her. When I arrived, I saw with horror: the shirt I had given her was a mess, completely soaked with vomit.
"I'll pay for it," her friend said as she continued to squeeze her. Finally, she let go, and with a sudden fit of rage, grabbed the drunk girl by the collar and squeezed. I acted immediately, pulling her away by grabbing her waist, although I got covered in vomit in the process.
"I'm going to kill you, Grace!" she yelled furiously. I carried her in my arms to the motorhome, let her go, and looked her in the eyes. Her expression of anger was so intense that it was a little scary.
"Do you want me to lend you some more clothes?" I asked.
Without saying a word, she began to undress until she was in her underwear. I silently watched her for a long moment; her physique was spectacular, her skin looked smooth, and my fingers itched to touch her. It was fascinating to see how she, who barely knew me, had practically undressed in front of me.
"Does it bother you that I'm seeing you like this?" I asked curiously.
She looked at me, and a slight smile spread across her luscious lips.
"You could be my son," she blurted out.
I stood there, speechless. Didn't she realize how wonderful she was?
"I'm twenty-two," I replied.
She smiled even wider.
"And I'm thirty-six," she replied.
I nodded slightly, continuing to watch her. It was so crazy what was happening to me. I had earned the title I had dreamed of for years, and I was face to face with a beautiful woman in her underwear. Was I dreaming?
"Does it bother you that I'm like this?" she asked.
I immediately shook my head.
"And the clothes?" she asked, visibly annoyed.
I ran to get something for her, grabbed some clothes, and handed them to her, but she didn't take them.
"I smell horrible," she complained.
I lifted my arm, which had also been soaked in vomit, and made a face. It also smelled disastrous.
"If you want, you can take a shower. Come with me," I suggested.
She took a deep breath and then looked at me.
"I'm sorry to ruin your triumph; I'm so embarrassed," she said.
But I wasn't paying attention; my eyes went to the soft lace covering her full and sweet breasts. How could she think that I saw her as a mother? Holy God, I wanted to lift her somewhere and tear off her underwear with my teeth.
"I'm Kat, by the way," she said.
She reached out her hand, and I shook it, and as I had thought, she was very soft.
"I'm Hayden," I said, half-enthralled.
She smiled again, and my heart began to beat fast. This was the first time something like this had happened to me. I had had several partners, but none had made me feel like her. It was so strange, but I liked it a lot.
"I think I'll go take a bath; you should leave, you're probably being waited for," she suggested.
I nodded and moved away from her a bit.
"Will you come to the celebration with me?" I asked.
She looked thoughtful for a moment.
"I don't think so; I have to take my friend home, but congratulations," she said.
I felt very disappointed by her answer, but I nodded.
"Will we see each other again?" I asked.
She bent down and took a card out of her small bag.
"If you ever get married and want a divorce, call me," she said.
I read the card mentally. "Katerina Sinclair, Lawyer."
"Thanks, I'll keep it," I said.
She nodded and started walking to the bathroom, but then her friend came in and stared at us.
"I won!" she said and wobbled.
I ran to her immediately; a fall in her state could be very bad.
"Do you want something to drink?" I asked her.
She smiled.
"To you," she replied.
Kat approached me and snatched her from my arms.
"Why are you naked?" she asked in astonishment.
"You vomited all over me, what did you expect?" I reproached her.
Kat took her friend to the bathroom and pushed her inside. I heard her friend's pleading screams as Kat scolded her for getting drunk in that way.
"Hayden is waiting for you," my technical director told me.
I nodded and walked over to him.
"Where did you find those women?" he asked me. I smiled.
"The brunette will be my wife, so be nice to her," I requested. Jona gave me a couple of pats on the back.
"I think she's a bit older for you, don't you?" he asked. I shrugged; age was no obstacle for me, and I was sure Kat was the one for me, my heart told me so.
***************
Grace was curled up on the shower floor, trembling from the cold.
"I hate you, Kat," she said as she shivered.
"I hope next time you say you won't drink, you mean it. You vomited all over me," I complained.
She got up and looked me in the eyes.
"Why were you naked?" she asked.
I hit her on the shoulder, and she winced.
"He's a kid," I replied.
"He's twenty-two, he can make you one already," she said.
I took a deep breath and completely ignored her. Grace was the dirtiest-minded woman I knew; her mind was corrupted.
"He must be amazing in bed. Imagine how good a twenty-year-old must be. A forty-year-old will never have the stamina of a twenty-two-year-old, so take him to the moon for me," she said with a grin.
I grabbed the towel, wrapped it around my body, and headed out of the bathroom. I wasn't going to continue listening to Grace's nonsense.
"I'm going to ignore you and pretend this conversation never happened," I said and went back into the bathroom.
As I removed the towel and looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a wave of insecurity. My breasts were a bit saggy, there was looseness in my skin, and my hips weren't as prominent as before. My body had changed over the years, and I saw myself reflected in the mirror in a way I didn't recognize. My mother's critical voice echoed in my head, seeding doubts about my attractiveness.
I faced my own image with a mix of nostalgia and melancholy. How could someone like Hayden find beauty in this aging body?
When we left the motorhome, the flashes of the cameras were everywhere. I grabbed Grace's arm tightly; she, completely soaked, looked at me."What's wrong now?" she asked.I lowered my head a little. At first, I wasn't ashamed of him seeing me semi-naked, as it seemed ridiculous to me that he would look at me with lustful eyes. But seeing myself in the mirror and noticing how horrible I looked, embarrassment took hold of me."Everyone saw how you vomited on me, I'm embarrassed," I lied.I considered myself a strong and self-assured woman, but this had caught me by surprise. Maybe it was because my ex-fiance had messed with my little sister, or maybe it was because of the impending menopause, but I felt really bad, and that wasn't an exaggeration."Great! We'll be famous, even if it's just for a couple of weeks," Grace said enthusiastically.It was because of things like this that I didn't send her packing. Even though Grace was so crazy, she brought fun to my life, and I was infinitel
Hayden parked his car next to mine in the building's parking lot where I lived. He helped me take out the bag and followed me to the elevator. I glanced at him, and he had a silly smile on his lips."I'm not going to sleep with you, you could be my grandson," I said.He stopped smiling and looked at me."Why do you think I want to sleep with you?" he asked.I wanted to smack myself for saying such nonsense."I don't know, you're acting weird and that confuses me," I said honestly.Hayden smiled sideways."I don't want to be anyone's sugar mommy," I said.Hayden started laughing. Now I felt even more stupid. God, why did I say so many stupid things?"Can you stop?" I asked, annoyed.He stopped laughing and looked me in the eyes."I'm sorry," he apologized as he gave me a smile.The elevator doors opened on my floor and I stepped out. I walked to my apartment without looking back. One of my neighbors looked at me and greeted me, then glanced over my shoulder and smiled."He's my nephew,
I greeted the other employees at the law firm where I was a partner. I went to my office and put some documents on the desk that I needed to review."Good morning," Lily greeted me.She came in with a bouquet of red lilies in her hands. She put it on my desk and smiled at me."They're for you," she said with excitement in her voice.I took out the small card that was among the lilies and read: "I will conquer you. Sincerely, H.""Who is 'H'?" she asked.I gave her a dirty look, and she quickly left my office. I set aside the card and started to work. My phone rang, and I answered it immediately."Do you like the flowers?" he asked.I looked at the screen of my phone and frowned. How on earth did he have my number?"Would you like to have lunch with me?" he asked.I didn't know what to say. How could this guy stress me out so much?"I'm busy. I ask you not to send me flowers and not to call me again," I said.Hayden laughed."Are you nervous?" he asked.I almost choked, but I took a de
Waited for my sister and the cockroach bastard to leave before turning to look at Hayden, who had a sweet and mischievous smile on his lips."Let's make a deal," I proposed.He crossed his arms and nodded."I'll give you the month, but you have to pretend to be my partner. If in a month you don't win me over, we'll continue with this until my sister gets married, we'll be good friends, and we'll have a good time," I said.Hayden scratched his nose a bit."Sounds good to me, but I know I'll win you over, I'm charming," he said with a smile and a wink.I let out all the air I had in my lungs, and my shoulders slumped. I had gotten myself into the lion's den for being "mature" and not wanting to look like a loser with my sister."That guy is disgusting, how can your sister want to marry him?" he asked."I need a drink," I said.I turned around and started walking towards the road; I would go to a bar, have a couple of drinks, and if I was lucky, I would find someone to have a good time w
Hayden stopped the car in front of huge gates; one of the guards who were standing there approached us."Mr. Bennett," he greeted.The guy waved to the other, and he opened the gates. I looked at Hayden, what kind of person was he really?"What the hell are you?" I asked him.Hayden smiled but didn't look at me."I'm a human who has a very rich father," he told me.I took out my phone and googled his last name; a bunch of results came up: "Oil magnate Alexander Bennett acquires major company, becoming one of the wealthiest men in the world.""Don't fuck with me, are you Alexander Bennett's son?" I asked, surprised.He nodded slowly."Let me guess, there's a huge plane here, and you're going to take me to another country," I said.Hayden turned to look at me and laughed."That's too much like a romantic movie," he said.I rolled my eyes immediately."So what are we doing here?" I asked him.Hayden stopped the car, got out, I got out too, and started walking beside him; he led me to a h
We arrived at her apartment, and she opened the door. I entered immediately; she looked at me and then smiled."I'm a woman of my word, I wasn't going to leave you on the street," she said.I shrugged; anything could happen with her, so it was better to be cautious."Stay here, I'll get comfortable," she said.I nodded. She disappeared into her room, and I stayed there, looking around. On a shelf, there was a photo, so I approached and observed it. It was a much younger Kat, appearing to be on some university campus and looking beautiful. Another girl was with her, a brunette with huge glasses, looking like the typical nerd."What are you doing?" she asked, startling me.I turned around and looked at her; she was dressed in oversized pajamas."It's like three in the afternoon," I reminded her.She shrugged and went to the kitchen."I like to be comfortable while I get drunk and watch romantic movies," she said.She took a bottle of wine from her fridge and placed it on the kitchen cou
I woke up abruptly feeling my breath being cut off. Kat was practically sprawled over my chest, and Grace's leg was on my abdomen, pressing down as she hugged my leg tightly. I moved Kat aside a bit and tried to lower Grace's leg. Kat lifted her head slightly and opened her eyes, staring at me; I smiled a bit. Her hair was tousled, and her just-awakened face was so lovely."Did you sleep well?" I asked her.She squinted her eyes and lay back on my chest. I looked up at the ceiling and frowned; I was living every man's dream, but in a bad way."Your heartbeat is soothing," Kat said sleepily.I smiled satisfied with what she said; I was on the right track."Kat, my head hurts," Grace complained.Kat moved away from my chest and sat up in bed; she looked at me and then at her friend, who was still clinging to my leg."You drank two bottles of tequila; it's a miracle you're alive," Kat replied.And it was true, Grace drank much more than Kat. Grace let go of my leg and also sat up in bed.
While I was working, I couldn't stop thinking about what Grace had said. Maybe I could give it a try, after all, I wouldn't be hurting anyone. I bit my lower lip and took out my phone from my bag. I searched for his number and stared at it for a moment, unsure whether to call him or not."This is so hard," I said to myself.I took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a moment, opened them again, and looked at his number. I pressed the call button and waited until he answered. I stayed silent for a moment; I was already regretting it and I hadn't even proposed anything to him yet."Kat?" he called."Hello, how are you?" I replied.I fell silent again. I didn't have the courage to talk about the subject; I was getting all tangled up because of paying attention to Grace."Are you okay?" he asked."Do you want to have lunch with me?" I asked him.Now he was the one who fell silent."Really?" he asked me.I was about to hang up, but I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I was thirty-si
