chapter 7

Rae's POV

We got to the entrance of the hall and a man who was dressed like a bell boy and holding a tab filled with peoples names with a bodyguard behind him was by the doors

"Sir your names please??"

" Demitri Rodri..."

" Hey, hey whose the person here are you new here dont you know Demitri, let him in".

We looked back and we saw Hernandez, one of Demitri's friends and the founder of the charity fund raiser.

" Hernandez, how are you and where is Lola or didn't you find a baby sitter" Demitri said giving each other pats on the back

"Oh we eventually found a babysitter so she's probably around here somewhere, you know how much of a social insect she is"

" Yh we all know, and this is Rachel"

" You look absolutely stunning" he said taking my hand and kissing it

" let me see you both to your seats"

We entered the auction hall and took our numbers and seats 29 and 30. The auction started and I was bored out of my brains and I could tell Demitri was too, he had bought two paintings and had spent fifty thousand dollars in total I still didn't see the beauty and it was called abstract or emotional and I don't even know what that means.

I heard $250 000 and my eyes popped out, what could it be, the price rose to $300 000 and he still kept his hand up and finally bought it I wondered what it was because items auctioned would be given out after the event.

We stood up and left for the after party which was a cocktail party, I stood beside Demitri as he discussed with his business partners a beautiful petit blonde walked up smiling  she was wearing a long blue dress she was quite curvy for someone that small with such a tiny waist she had a beautiful body overall

" Demitri long time no see" she said hugging Demitri tightly

"And you must be Rachel" she said grabbing me in for a hug, she had such a bubbly personality

" Lola its nice to see you again"

" Demitri you're kind of heartless, boring this poor thing with your talk she's coming with me"

She dragged me off without even waiting for a reply from Demitri, I started easing up a bit.

She talked a lot and fisted me about everything and anything fashion, movies and even some office gossip, I laughed as she cracked jokes about them.

" give me your phone number so we can text and all that"

"Well I don't have one" her eyes widened and her lips pursed into a straight line

" Then let's go look for Demitri and ask him why"

She dragged me and we were off again, we finally saw him but he was still talking to some people he quickly dismissed them after sighting us and walked to us briskly before another set of people could approach him.

" Demitri why doesn't Rachel have a phone" she said with a hint of accusation in her tone

He laughed which made me smile, wait why was I smiling

" Well that was actually meant to be a surprise"

I felt my cheeks redden at that statement

" mm hmm nice cover story"

" I'm serious" he said amidst laughter

"When you give her the phone make sure you give her my number, you have it don't you??"

He rubbed his palm at the back of his neck

" OMG ... You don't have it"  she pushed him and they both laughed and then she called it out for him to type into his phone

" Save it...now" 

" I've already done that" 

danceable music bursted through the speakers and Hernandez came to whisk Lola away she squealed as he held her waist planting kisses on her neck

Demitri dragged me to the dance floor "I can't dance" I shrieked, he laughed and held my hands

" Just follow my lead"

We danced and dance till we were tired the whole crowd cleared and we put on quite a show and I just kept laughing till it was over.

Soon slow music came on and he placed his hand on my waist and I placed mine on his neck and we moved according to the music as people coupled in pairs but it felt like we were the only ones there, he stopped and we just stared into each others eyes for a while and then he leaned in for a kiss and I responded immediately, I broke the kiss

"I LOVE YOU TOO" I mumbled out he pecked me on my forehead.

As we walked out of the building it felt like the prom I never got to attend, we entered the limo and I drifted off to sleep.

Demitri's POV

We got home and I didn't want to wake her up I carried her bridal style up the the stairs into her room I loved her I actually did I removed her dress and put her in one of my shirts it was pretty big on her small frame I knew better than to take advantage of her I glanced her over and then walked to my room changed and I slept off as soon as I hit the bed.
