Chapter thirty 2

Finally I delivered the chocolate cake to Angela(an old friend of mine) who was having her graduation party at Weston hotel.I wish I would accept the invitation but I needed to be somewhere I didn't want to be tonight.

When I got home, Vee was dressed and ready to rock the party.Her makeup was on point and the simple v-neck long floral-print formal dress with a back zipper and hook and eye clasps made her look like a model from Vogue magazine.

"You look so beautiful..."

"Thanks short woman.I hope Josh loves it too, this dress cost me a fortune."

"He will be speechless."

"I hope so..."Just when we were talking about him, we heard a soft knock on the door.

"That must be him, I will get i."

"Okay..."When Jsoh came in and saw how stunning and beautiful Vee was, his jaw fell on the floor.I was right that she would render him speechless.

"How does she look?" I snapped my fingers on his face.

"Beautiful..." He answered like he was out of breath.

"You are gonna be the most beautiful woman in that party tonight" He took her hand and brought it to his lips,"Thank you for being my date."

Tears began dripping from Vee's eyes.Oooops!I didn't see this coming.

"No crying or you will ruin your makeup..." I handed her some tissues.

"Thank you..." She whispered and flashed me a smile.

"Shall we go?" Josh asked and she nodded excitedly.

"See you there short woman..."

"Okay and don't forget to tell the chef to get the cake thirty minutes before it's served..And please make sure Billy does a good job with the desert."
"Okay boss..."Josh saluted me and they both left.I got ready quickly and guess what? I am going to wear the dress and stilettos heels that Drake bought me.How unfortunate that he won't be the first one to see how perfect I look in that dress even though I wish he was.But that's what he deserves for breaking my heart.

If I am going to this party, I might just make it my mission to make him jealous tonight.He should be able to see what he missed while looking for greener pastures.I decided to go for a natural makeup look that I have been learning from a YouTube tutorial for the past one month and good news my people, I nailed it.The dress as usual looked perfect on me and the nude stilettos shoes they still make me excited like they did the first day I wore them .You remember the day that son of a woman stood me up.Yeah.

Just as I was grabbing my new black purse, I heard a soft knock on the door.There was Matt looking all stunning in that black Tux that hugged his body so perfectly.

"You look beautiful Jemima." He sighed and hugged me.Awkward!

"You too Matt." I raised my head so high so as not to ruin his tux with my makeup.

"Shall we go?"

"Yes please."

"Tonight, Drake is going to regret ever hurting you.I bet you will be the most beautiful woman in the party..."

"I am flattered."

It was just on time when we arrived at Five Star Harrison's intercontinental hotel where the event was taking place.It just had to be here.I rolled my eyes in my head.When we got out of the car, we were attacked by a small mob of people whose hands were thrusting at Ian for selfies ...It was hard meandering our way through the crowd especially when he had to stop every few seconds for either a selfie or to sign an autograph..The limelight sucks.

I looked around but there was no sight of him.Instead of being relieved, I was sad that I wasn't going to see his handsome face tonight.When I thought after getting through the crazy screaming fans it was over, I felt flashes of cameras all over my face. Damn the red carpet entrance gives you this true star treatment feeling.

"Matt who is your date tonight?"

"Are you an actress, model or an influencer?"

"Do we know your date Matt?"

"So who are you wearing tonigh?"

"Are you two dating?"

"What's the name of your date?"

"We are just friends..." He said dryly and interlaced our fingers.

"What do we expect this season?"Before he could answer, the cameras were no longer on us.The paparazzis and reporters had ran to the other side.There he was the one my eyes have been searching all along.Drake Harrison, the love of my life.It was like he was the charisma of the party.The black Tux he was wearing was tailored perfectly for him.He looked very handsome like more of a Greek god and when he smiled, it was a little bit magical. Finally everything is now perfect.He was surrounded with fans who were eager to catch a glimpse of him.If only I could hug him or rake his hair with my fingers.

I looked at him only to find him staring at me smiling.I didn't know whether to smile or scowl and so I took my eyes off him.

"Why does he get the whole attention?" Matt asked Icily but I chose to ignore him instead .Just look at Drake and yourself Matt, get a reality check and see who God spent more time on.

"I will go inside as you guys interact with your fans..." I walked into the hotel and the waiter ushered me to the table I am supposed to sit.
