Chapter 10

　　Theo's POV

　　It was the D-day, I was packed and ready to go but the driver wasn't here yet. It was making me antsy and giving space for my doubts.

　　I already signed everything needed for me to sign and I sent them back to Henry for confirmation.

　　I was going to meet my client right there in her hotel but with the current developments, it looks like it will be later than I expected.

　　I was waiting patiently when the driver arrived, he honked so loud making me curse.

　　"What the fuck?!" I cursed out.

　　I took my time locking up my house because why the hell not.

　　I was dressed in my black suit with a white shirt, I left the first three buttons of the shirt open because it was sexy. I looked good enough to eat if I said so myself.

　　I got to the car and signaled the driver to pop his trunk, I dropped my bag inside and entered the back of the car. The whole ride to the airport was silent just the way I liked it.

　　It was a long ride because he took the longer route because of the traffic on the normal lane, I really would have handled this myself. There was no need to involve a third person to complicate things.

　　We finally got to the airport and he drove straight to where the private plane was, the pilot already flew her to the place and because I was late. I was to fly alone. I hope I was able to meet up with the rehearsal dinner. I got my schedule from the contract Henry sent over via email.

　　The whole exchange was silent, the air hostess catered to my needs, she served me wine and more wine till my head started spinning. I didn’t want to spin out of control, I needed my sanity to act like I was in love with the lady. It was a smooth flight and I was pretty sure I fell asleep at some point but nobody cared because it was not their problem.

　　I got to the place late and I checked in my suite. Yes, we were not sharing a room but we had an adjoining door, the next room was hers. I could smell her perfume in the air. It was so strong and it smelt so good. I couldn't resist snooping. I unlocked the door to her room and the smell of the perfume hit me square on the nose. It was intoxicating. She has been here for a long time because she has packed. Her things were arranged, it wasn't scattered like most ladies. I opened her wardrobe and her clothes, shoes and bags were neatly arranged. The whole place smelled like her. It was simply wonderful.

　　I was about to leave her room when something white caught my eyes, I went towards the bathroom and I saw her lacy white thong. Hmm, she wears a thong?

　　What kind of woman is she? I asked myself.

　　If she wasn't wearing thongs then she wasn't as old as I made her appear in my head. If she was sexy like I was imagining her in her underwear then we are going to have a big problem. Gage was right, I could never act right in the presence of a very sexy woman. Those were my weaknesses.

　　I rubbed my finger against it to feel the soft material she wears under her clothes.

　　I shook my head and scolded myself for letting my thoughts go there.

　　I closed her door and went back to my room. I had to freshen up and go meet her downstairs.

　　Suddenly I was nervous, I didn't even know why. I haven't met her before and I didn't know how she would react to being deceived by the agency. I wanted to believe that if I played my cards right then everything would be fine.

　　I sincerely hoped she wasn't too attractive because I wasn't sure how long I could keep my hands to myself for a week. It was going to be very difficult to do so.

　　I unpacked my bags making sure everything was where it was supposed to be, I didn't want to be the disorganized one right now. I headed to the bathroom to have my bath so I could get up and play my part.

　　I showered taking my sweet time to smell fresh, I didn't know why I was going through all these measures to ensure I got the money. I will still be paid if I don't smell fresh but I couldn't get the image of the thong out of my head for some reason. It was strange for me.

　　I had been thinking that I had to play the loving boyfriend act for an older woman but knowing it could be a young woman that wears the sexiest piece of underwear I know was a dangerous territory and one that I didn't want to cross, at least not on my first try.

　　We haven't spoken and I still haven’t seen her or anything that might look like her but I was curious about her already. I didn't want to be attracted to my client like I am attracted to her panties. She could never attempt anything because she made it clear she didn't want to sleep with me. Well the gay guy she ordered.

　　It was strange, you would think she paid all this cash that she might as well get something out of it but she wanted nothing to do with the escort. I heard her story from gage.

　　He told me that she doesn’t tolerate any bull shit from anyone and she is loaded and connected in the business world. He said she was sexy but I find that hard to believe because he finds every woman attractive and he has always liked older women.

　　According to his sources, who would be nobody else but gage, she treats Bryan like a friend and takes him everywhere. Like he heard from Henry that Bryan met so many people through her and now he not only has to escort her to occasions because he gets paid but because he likes her. He described her as fun but only when you succeed in penetrating her outer shell. She was tough as nails.

　　Well now, I want to penetrate something else.

　　Down boy! I calmed myself. I hurriedly showered and got dressed in another outfit.

　　It was black slides, a blue shirt and my black leather jacket. I made sure to open the first three buttons. I had to put on my only accessory which is a gold necklace. I opened my perfume and I used it on myself but I made sure to get the perfume in all the right places so I would be smelling mighty fresh. I waited a bit then I called henry. The agreement was that I call Henry then tell him when I was ready to go so he would forward her name and her picture to me. It was important that I didn’t go there looking like a fool. I was supposed to know my date by now but it was unfortunate that I didn’t and that left a bad impression on those we were supposed to be fooling.

　　This was a chance I didn’t want to blow up because it could guarantee me access to a good network of people who would become my investors one day. It was important that I impress this woman at all costs so she could make me as lucky as Bryan.

　　It was easier to locate her like that at the party, it would certainly give people the impression that we were together.

　　I picked up my phone and called him,

　　“Hello” he picked after the fourth ring.

　　“I just got there, I am in my hotel room now” I informed him.

　　“Good good, she is there waiting for you to come display your magic” he said

　　“Yeah”

　　“Alright bye” he made to hang up but I stopped him.

　　“Dude! Aren’t you forgetting something?” I reminded him.

　　“What?” he was clearly confused.

　　“You are supposed to send me her name and picture so I can identify her” I told him

　　He paused but I could hear shuffling in the background.

　　“Right, I forgot about that. You see, she still thinks that Bryan is coming and Bryan knows who she is” he said.

　　“So what do I do?” I asked him.

　　“Hold on, let me figure out something, just hang on tight there” he said right before hanging up.

　　I ruffled my hair out of frustration because I didn’t like having things out of my control, there were at least a thousand people there and I had no idea who I was supposed to be cozying up to. This was bad. Really bad.

　　I started pacing in my room, how would she react to me being there instead of Bryan? She wouldn’t cause a scene and expose me as an escort, would she?

　　I doubt that she went through extreme measures to make sure that my attendance was kept a secret and she didn’t want to reveal that she couldn’t get a date of her own so I don’t really think she would expose me and implicate herself in the process.

　　The thought calmed me and I was back to normal, now the only problem I had was to figure out who she was and make my move. I was about ready to tear my hair out when Henry called back.

　　“What did you find?” I asked him, the moment for pleasantries was long gone and it was time to go straight to the point.

　　“She is the only one in a white dress,” he said.

　　Hearing him say white reminds me of the panties I saw in her room.

　　“Wait, that’s it? The only one in a white dress?” I asked him.

　　There has got to be more information than that for me to know her, what if I get there and two other people are in white dresses? What do I do then?

　　“Oh and her name is Aleia,” he said.

　　Okay, I can work with that.

　　Aleia is such a nice name, it rolls off your tongue perfectly and it makes you want to say it over and over again. And it was so good for such a woman with nice underwear. I found it incredibly sexy when women wear good underwear that compliments their body. It was the hottest sight ever.

　　I wonder if I will get to see her in her underwear. I shook the thought out of my head. It wasn’t the plan to get these kinds of thoughts in my head. I wasn’t planning on seducing her but then again what if I did? I scolded myself and cautioned my mind to calm the fuck down.

　　I recollected myself and headed down to the dinner downstairs to start my job as planned.

　　It was bustling with people and it was very difficult to see who I was looking for.

　　I walked in with confidence and headed straight to the middle of the dinner. There were different kinds of people and I was pretty sure some of these people weren’t here with their minds. They only came to expand their network. Most of these businessmen often grace these sorts of social events because of the high chances they would get when they find someone who would invest in them or buy something from them.

　　I continued to go around looking for my date and finding out time to talk to some of the people just to feel like I belonged. I went to the point of joining a conversation I knew nothing about just to get a little knowledge on whatever it was they were talking about.

　　Gage was going to get a kick out of this when I told him that I did that.

　　I went further into the room and I approached the bar when I saw it, I needed a drink.

　　I ordered a drink and sat down at the bar to drink it. I ordered for many more because I needed liquid courage. Even though she was described as fun and everything, I still felt nervous and in desperate need to impress her. I needed her to like me probably more than she liked Bryan.

　　That was too much to ask but it was doable, if she could do those things for a gay man. How about a straight guy who could possibly give her what Bryan can’t give her?

　　I saw something white in the far end but it looked like she was arguing with what looks like a younger version of Paris Hilton.

　　The woman in white had her back to me but I could see enough from where I was sitting, she was good looking from behind. She had the smallest waist, the kind girls would kill to have and her hips curved so much that it was considered as thick to men like me. The white dress glued to her curvy body like skin and it was almost considered to be sin.

　　She stood so straight and it was clear she wanted to be anywhere but there. The younger lady she seemed to be arguing with was turning her face and pointing at her dress like she was trying to relay something.

　　My client just looked bored out of her mind and it only fueled the other lady the more, Aleia just raised a hand to stop her from talking and whatever she said seemed to have an effect with the lady because she paled instantly and shut her mouth.

　　From where I was standing it looked like my client was winning but I didn’t want to conclude yet. I stood from the bar and walked towards them to introduce myself in a way she would understand by acting like the perfect boyfriend. I was such an idiot for interrupting an argument between two ladies but I wanted to save her from the argument. Something about her had me running to save her from anything that would upset her.

　　I wanted to chalk it up to needing the money but it was something else entirely. The stirring in my groin assured me that it was something else. Her ass looked absolutely fuckable in that dress and I would give my two cents to rip her out of it and bury myself in her all day.

　　What is it about this woman that had me behaving like a school boy around her?

　　It was like I couldn’t stop myself from having these thoughts for her each time I think about her.

　　I approached them in order to get started.

　　“Aleia” I called out just to make sure I had the right name.

　　She spun around to face me and I promise you, I wasn’t proud of my next actions.
