Stef's: POV
Lena and I went this benefit fundraiser ball all proceeds go to the new children's hospital we made a generous charitable donation. I can't believe how many people came out to show their support to such an excellent caused, they were holding a raffle at the table
When I found out what the winner will win
A all expense paid trip to Italy and five thousand dollars in spending money for two weeks l hurried up and brought six dollars worth of tickets. Their were other vendors at different booths selling rather expensive items
Right now there was a auction going on guest were bidding left and right, you could tell these people were rich. Mother agreed to come along with us cause she didn't wanna be sitting alone in Alex's penthouse
When I asked my mom we're Alex was. Her response was out on a date, l was glad my baby sister decided to put herself back out on the market again after her last failed relationship, Lena went over to the bar to get a drink
My wife looked beautiful tonight Lena had on a black evening gown with white trimmings around the waist
I went with a nice burgundy dress. Mother had to go all out to outshine us, she always loved being in the spotlight especially where's cameras around. I remember when her and dad will get dressed up to the policemen's ball
At dads job, mom knew the captains wife would be there
So she remained on her best behavior out of respect for my father, even though mom couldn't stand the woman's guts. I think she was the same one who showed up at the cemetery. I'm not sure if they were having a affair
I accidentally heard one night of mom accusing him of having lipstick on his collar, that was years ago before I went to college. Alex was the only one living at with my parents at the time, l was lost in my head to notice a man
Stand beside me. I don't think l've ever seen you here before, l'm David your a very attractive woman can I buy you a drink from the bar he asked me. No thank you
Stef told the man, Stef sees Lena making her way over
The gentleman continues to talk he tells me he's a investment banker. Would you excuse me for just a minute l see one of my friends over there David says to me, Lena saw the whole exchange and didn't say anything
When she handing Stef her white wine. I saw your mother talking to the director of the children's hospital Lena Stated, mom always makes friends wherever she goes
Stef replies as she takes a sip of her drink. David came back over and saw a other woman talking to the blonde he was trying to get to know better, excused miss l was here first David States. Really l have known this woman
For fourteen years Lena said, the man didn't put two and two together. Stef smirks at how dense David was
I don't know what your problem is lady but I was having a conversation this enchanting creature David tries once more, didn't even bother to see the wedding bands on both women's fingers, Lena didn't want to make a scene in public.
