Chapter 8

I set out with him walking arm in arm with each other, smiling and talking to each other like the perfect couple. The cameras start to flash on us. Where these paparazzi waiting for us? I repeat exactly the same question to Adrian who doesn't seem surprised as me, perhaps he always experience this being a billionaire and a CEO. 

"You know I'm a public figure, I am famous being a CEO, so it's normal." 

"Let me ask you, why did you need an escort for events, why didn't you opt in for a company service but a sexy girl?" 

"Why, because I got to have them perceive the image that I have a girlfriend." 

"Who?" 

"The world," he grins nervously. I feel that he isn't saying the total truth here, from the way he is blinking his eyes, he's hiding something from me. Whatever it is, I don't care. I'm just here for a pretence service and nothing. So this doesn't spoil the mood, we continue our sexy conversation in the midst of the flashes. An usher assigned to us walks up to us. 

"Good evening sir and ma'am." 

"Good evening." We chorus.

"I'm to take you in, please come with me." His tone is professional but polite that I can't help but admire him for the splendid way he's performing his duty. I stare at him then remember we are in public, I don't want to have a controversial statement like CEO's girl flirting with usher labelled against me on the front page of newspapers, these paparazzi are always eager to gather news and post them, not minding whether they are true or not as long as they drive more views to their blogs and sites. 

I return my interest to Adrian whom I see is more thrilled to the depth at having me behave this way towards him, his happiness is more than a planned pretence just to portray a being in a relationship to the public. The usher leads us to the large hall used for this party, it's already filled with elegant couples, then some groups of men sitting together on the table. 

"I sense this party is for CEOs?" 

"No!" Adrian says with a smile. 

"I ask because most of the men here look like CEOs, donned in suits and seem to be talking business like those ones in groups without girls." 

"Yes, majority are CEOs like me but there are other celebrities here, artistes, footballers and lots more." 

I sit on the seat, opposite Adrian's. Acting like the perfect gentleman on a date, he pulls up the decorated seat so I can sit before he pulls his from the table filled with expensive drinks and takes a seat. 

"I'm thrilled to attend today's event with you." 

"Really?" I say with a smile. He nods, passes his hand across the table and takes hold of mine, squeezing it gently, with a lustful grin. The air gradually gets filled with cigarette smoke, alcohol and jubilation. "You know I haven't cared to ask what this is for? It just came to my mind now, why are we at the center of this place, like we are the celebrant?" In my mind, it's just a plain question asked out of a puzzle. We should be among the crowd and not up here, getting a center attraction. 

A bit of nervousness comes over Adrian, he grins shyly and looks down. 

"Is everything alright?" Right now, he's acting like one who has something to say but fears how the person he wants to talk to would react. "Come on, tell me what you want to say. What's going on?" 

"It's about us!" 

"How, I don't get you?" 

"I have been looking for you for the past three years, you packed out from where you lived, changed your line and I couldn't contact you. Why I did that was because I was downcasted, frustrated and I was planning on how to develop myself, but in the process I ended up building my life upon the destruction of another's. Though I eventually succeeded and this is the money I used in building a small business empire and then developing into what I am today, my spirit tormented me day and night for the past three years." He gets emotional, sighing heavily and I fear tears would come forth from his eyes the next second. I squeeze his hands. 

"Can't we talk about this later, you wanna spoil the mood we are in tonight? Come on!" I encourage him and this does a big deal to him, I see his face begin to brighten. Delight pushes through me because I never wanted him to break down in the midst of everyone, spoiling everything. 

"I would really love to hear your story but I feel you can't tell it here without breaking down?" 

"Yes, it's really sad." 

"Whatever, keep that till later. I don't want to see your tears." I chuckle and he laughs. He pours the wine into the two glasses and passes one to me. 

"Thanks," I mutter. 

"Let's chill with this, dinner will be brought in the next few minutes by the waiters." 

The music fills the air, consuming the minds of everyone and overwhelming us with the aura of a classic dinner party. The MC is not helping matters, what a great hype man he is. I have never seen a MC with great vibes like me. "You really did a great job in choosing such a MC." I comment in between a sip of my wine. 

"Yes, I wanted a great party, that's why." He dashes me a cool smile, then takes a sip of his wine. 

"You really have great taste and I love this!" He smiles in reaction. 

After we have taken our dinner of varieties, we file onto the stage to dance and pop champagne. I never hoped to have so much fun like this, the effect of the alcohol slowly creeps up, not only this, a deep desire for each other finds its way into our hearts. 

All of a sudden, Adrian's lips come crashing into me, we dance more and more with the crowd shifting for us. Right now I'm under the influence of the drinks I took, the fear and timidity is gone, I'm now twerking with my big ass, holding my breasts. Adrian who is equally drunk as me presses my waist to his groin grinding me against his hardening member, I wind more and more, fucking him with my dance style. The roars and cheers from the crowd become almost deafening. 

We must have been dancing up to an hour before the arousal came up and I could no longer control myself, Adrian neither. Nothing leads us off the hall apart from this, kisses and fondles drags us off so we can do the main thing. Not a big deal, others are having the same sensation. 

"Where are we heading to?" I ask upon seeing Adrian take me through a narrow corridor. "I thought this was just a party venue?" 

"No, we are heading to the lounge. I chose a venue with an exquisite suite for us. I gonna fuck that pussy of yours till you can no longer walk." He growls.
