Chapter 7 Meet-up Gathering 1
- ALESSIA'S POV
- My jaw dropped and my core throbbed.
- The fact that his dirty words make me wet, annoys the hell out of me.
- For heaven's sake, he is a stranger.
- Someone I know nothing about.
- “ My virginity has nothing to do with you, dick head. So get out of my house.” I gritted my teeth.
- “ And what if I don't?” He cocked an eyebrow, his eyes dark.
- “ I will call the cops on you.”
- “ You should have done that a while ago, but you didn't.” He said, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.
- “ I didn't because I was so shocked when you grabbed me by my waist.” I defended, a deep frown settling on my face.
- “ Feisty type, huh? I like girls.” He smirked darkly and let go of my waist.
- Once he did, I felt cold air hit my waist as his warmth disappeared.
- “ Please let me go. I'm sure they are more beautiful and curvy in the whole of Italy.” I said, literally begging him.
- “ I know right. But they can't tame my demons the way you do.” He smirked and bent a little as he leaned closer to my ear.
- “ Don't you think of running away because I'm gonna chase you down to the end of this earth.”
- After relaying his message, he took two steps back and flew down my apartment window like it was nothing.
- I was even scared if he had broken an arm or a leg.
- How could someone jump down a two storey building apartment.
- “ He is insane.” I mumbled, looking out of the window as he mixed with the darkness of the night.
- I was never going to give in to his request.
- I won't be his, and lastly, I won't let him ruin my life and turn my world upside down.
- ……
- I left home early at 6am because I was the doctor on duty.
- “ Where did you run off to?” CeCe asked, once I arrived.
- “ Home. I need to rest before I go insane.” I replied, holding a tab in my hands.
- “ Insane? What could drive you insane? Rachel and your ex-fiance?” She asked with a raised eyebrow, earning a glare from me.
- CeCe sure knows how to ruin someone's mood.
- Why would she bring Rachel and my Ex-fiance in our conversation?
- “ You're a killjoy.” I scoffed.
- “ I'm just asking.” She walked fast, trying to catch up with me.
- “ Don't you have patients to attend to? Because I do.”
- I rolled my eyes and entered into a ward, shutting the door on her face.
- “ Fuck you, Alessia! Fuck you.” I could hear her curse at me behind the closed door, causing me to chuckle.
- …..
- After attending to my patients for the day, it was finally lunch time.
- I walked into the cafeteria, my two hands inside my coat.
- “ There's good news and bad news, Alessia.” A voice whispered into my ear along the way, causing me to flinch.
- “ Fuck! Jesus Christ! You scared the shit out of me, CeCe!” I shouted.
- “ Serves your right for shutting the ward's door on my face.”
- She smirked and hung her arm around my neck, as we both made our way to the cafeteria.
- “ You're one crazy girl.” I shook my head, trying to calm my racing heart due to the shock.
- “ Like I said a minute ago, there's good news and also bad news, which do you want to hear first?” She asked, and I frowned.
- “ The good news, of course.”
- “ So the college we attended is holding a meet up party tonight at a restaurant downtown and your college crush will be attending also.” She narrated, while I listened attentively.
- “ And the bad news?” I raised a brow.
- “ Your ex-fiance and Rachel would be attending also.” She heaved a sigh.
- “ So were you expecting me not to attend because Lucas and Rachel would be there also?” I asked, and she paused her lips into a thin line.
- “ I don't want to see you get hurt again.” CeCe muttered, her voice laced with worry.
- “ You don't have to worry, CeCe. I will be fine.” I assured her and she smiled.
- “ After lunch, she should go shopping for some beautiful dresses.” She grinned.
- “ Why?”
- “ We are going there to kill tonight. I want Lucas to regret cheating behind your back.” CeCe smirked and I laughed.
- ..
- Just like she said, after lunch, she dragged me to one of the most expensive malls in Italy.
- CeCe didn't mind if the dresses she bought could break her bank account, all she wanted was for me to dress to kill.
- ‘ It's okay, CeCe. These dresses are expensive.” I had complained, but she ignored me totally and kept buying, until she was satisfied.
- She didn't mind if the amount of the dresses could break her bank account, because she's a daughter of the prime minister, and as such, she can't go broke.
- “ Have you forgotten who I am?” She asked, flaunting her black sleek hair at me.
- “ Hell, No. How could I forget that our beautiful Doctor CeCe is the daughter of Prime minister Russell?” I said sarcastically.
- “ Good, now try this dress on.” She said as she threw a blue dress at me.
- I sighed for the tenth time in thirty minutes.
- She made me try more than ten dresses in less than twenty minutes, and yet, none suit the killer vibes she wanted.
- I came out of the dressing room wearing the blue dress she gave me.
- “ Wow…OMG! Girl! This is what I want. A killer dress on a killer body. Make sure you murder Lucas and even your college crush with this body of yours!” She gushed.
- “ We will go with this and black heels and black bag.” She said to the worker who was inside the room with us.
- “ Okay, Miss CeCe.”
- “ Isn't it too revealing? I'm uncomfortable.” I wriggled trying to cover my exposed thigh.
- “ What are you saying, Alessia? Don't be a boring girl just because you're a doctor.” CeCe said.
- “ I have never worn such an exposing dress before.” I muttered.
- “ I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces, when the badass bitch arrives.” She grinned.
- After shopping, we went to her apartment, where she did my make up and also styled my hair.
- Looking in the mirror, I couldn't recognise myself anymore.
- I looked more like a doll with heavy make-up on and my braided.
- “ This is exactly what I wanted.” She let out a satisfactory smile.
- “ I hope I don't get embarrassed.” I muttered.
- “ Hell no, you will be the one to embarrass them tonight.” She assured me.
- The meet up would be held in Rosey Restaurant downtown Tuscany.
- We rode in CeCe's black Lamborghini, and arrived at the restaurant in less than twenty minutes.
- CeCe led the way into the VIP section where the meet up was being held.
- “ Look who we have here.” Someone said as soon as CeCe walked in.
- “ Yeah, it's your girl, CeCe.” She flashed them a smile.
- “ Come in.” She motioned at me and even opened the door wide enough for me to walk in.
- I did and all eyes fell on me.
- Not even a single eye was left out.
- Jaws dropped, eyes widened and lips parted.
- “ Hi, everyone. I'm Alessia.” I smiled nervously as I joined CeCe.
- “ Hell! I almost didn't recognise you right now!” A boy said, his eyes never leaving my body.
- “ Yeah, it's CeCe's work. She rolled me up.” I smiled, looking around until my eyes fell on Lucas and Rachel.
- I felt my stomach twisted in anger and pain, but I looked away before my anger took a better of me.
- “ But wait…. Why is Lucas with Rachel instead of you? Aren't you both getting married in two months?” Another asked.
- “ Oh that! I call off the wedding.” I smiled, not going into details.
- I didn't want to ruin Rachel's reputation, not at a meet up like this.
- I saved the details for another day.
- “ Oh wow.”
- Murmurs and whispers flew around the room, but I didn't care.
- Instead, I grabbed a glass of wine and gulped it down my throat.
- “ Get yourself together, Alessia. Not let their lovey-dovey get to you.” CeCe whispered into my ear.
- I was about to grab another glass of wine when the door opened revealing Nathaniel, my college crush.
- He was looking so handsome as ever in a black shirt and jeans trousers.
- I almost fell for him all over again, not until someone else showed up behind him.
- There he was again.
- Satan's heir.
- “ Hi everyone, I'm Nathaniel.” He started, his eyes locked on mine. “ And behind me is my best friend, Cassius.”
- “ Hi everyone.” Cassius said, his voice deep as the wave of the ocean. “ It's a pleasure meeting you all.”
- His eyes were fixed on mine as he spoke, looking at me like how a predator would look at his prey.
