SEX WITH MY BEST FRIEND'S FIANCÉ
Chapter 59 - FIFTY NINE

Chapter 59: Chapter FIFTY NINE

- HAZEL -

We just arrived. I’m making my way inside the hall while Kaiden is outside talking with some gentlemen. It’s hard to miss the event center. Even from the entrance, I can hear the sound of soft saxophone music. 

And everywhere else is empty. I hold a portion of my dress up between two of my fingers while delicately making my way through the corridor. I’m so close to the event center and I know it. 

My eyelids flare up for a second and a smile forms on my face. Like the red sea parting, tall, white flower vases filled with variety of pretty flowers line up, leading to the door. Floor lights, in line with the vases, illuminates the ground. 

Despite having the location for the dinner on our phones, the school definitely out did themselves to aid us find it easily. This is so sweet. 

I feel like royalty. Maybe a glove wouldn’t have been bad after all. I roll my eyes at the thought. 

I gently push the door open and freeze. 

The interior design hit me like a wave and I need to catch my breath for a second. I look out the door to ensure I’m still in the same university. The one I have classes at and I wasn’t kidnapped and shipped to Paris. 

I’m still here. 

Wow. I never knew we had a hall this grand. Inside looks like a Parisian Versailles and I can’t even begin to describe the arrangements of food and tower glass cups on display. At two corners of the hall are concrete tables with different kinds of meals organised like a fancy buffet. 

"Please show us your invitation." A door man says. I just realized that I’m still standing at the entrance. And there is a door man? Tell me you’re attending a rich school, without telling me you’re attending a rich school!! 

I unlock my phone and open my email. The link to my invitation is here. I click on it and wait for it to load then I point it at him. 

"You may go in." He says after scanning my screen. I notice him check something on the tab in his hand but I don’t bother myself to find out what. My heart is completely captivated by the sight in front of me. 

I’m Looking around in awe and I can feel my lower lip drop. When the school said it was a dinner for the second years, they were not joking. I don’t know most of the people I have classes with but for an invitation requirement before going in to be needed, I can guess the only ones in here are second years. And professors. No way in hell will students be left unattended. Everyone looks so fabulous in their dresses of different colours and sizes and every male here is wearing a suit. 

This gives me a befiting nostalgia of prom. An A list version of prom. 

I look around for Kate. I don’t know if I should eat first or search for her first. I obviously can’t get involved in small chatter first because I have no friends. I haven’t made time to bond. With the exception of my roommates of course, they’re all second years.

My lips form a line. I guess I’ll wait at a spot and hope Kate or someone I know finds me. I really need to start mingling but not at this dinner. 

A sigh eludes my lips and I stand there, running my eyes around. There’s still no sign of her. I look at the door. Kaiden hasn’t shown up either. I thought this dinner will help me get my mind off the fact that he didn’t give me my jewelry but the few minutes I’ve been here is kind of boring. I never saw myself as a loner till now. 

At least, this place sure is good for taking pictures worth posting! I bring my phone out of my navy blue purse and hold it up to take a selfie.

My lips pout and I hold the peace sign up, keeping an eye closed. That’s my signature pose. I’ll post this picture with a #SchoolDinner. 

The click of the camera pleases my ears and I stare at the photo. It looks good. I look beautiful. 

I post it on my story. Maybe this time, I should take a short video and post it as a gif. I walk to the buffet table and take a glass of whatever is inside from the wine glass pyramid and sip. 

Holy cow! My eyes widen at the flavour that blesses my tongue. I sip again, this time swallowing large amounts. This tastes like bliss. Like euphoria. I’ll be having more of this. 

I turn around and hold my hand out with the wine glass between my fingers facing the pyramid and take a shot. 

This time, the hashtag will be, #Getdrunkorpass? #DrinkIreccomend #Don’tknowwhatitis. 

There is no alcohol in this. I can tell because I’ve had a lot of alcohol. Not something I’m proud of but sneaking gin, vodka, brandy and every other sort of alcohol my parents keep in their wine cellar as a teen was one of my strong suits. 

Now I hold the phone up my face, changing to video. I click the center ’o’ and it records. The hall and everyone inside are in sight through the camera. 

#Heaven. 

I laugh, taking a step back when my body gently brushes against somebody. On a normal day, I would flinch or freak out but this person didn’t let me. 

His hands caresses mine from my wrist to my shoulder and he holds me in place. "Hold your phone lower. You’ll capture your angle way better." The man says. His voice sounds like Killian’s and I inhale His perfume. Killian’s hands hold me gently and his breath fans my neck causing me to close my eyes, enjoying the short moment of breathlessness I had. I hear my heart pound on my chest during this contact. 

I breathe out heavily. "Oh God, clumsy me, thank you-" I turn around. 

Shock replaces the expression I had on my face. Like the wind, Killian disappeared faster than I felt him. It was almost as if no one was here and this short encounter was a fragment of my imagination. 

But I felt him. 

I hold my phone lower. It does capture my angle better. 

My throat tightens. 

I heard him too. Am I losing my mind? 

I haven’t heard from him nor seen him since that night so maybe I’m having a first stage of delusion syndrome. 

I can swear I bumped into someone though. I drink out of my glass. 

’I haven’t seen Killian since I rejected his offer.’ I murmur silently in my head. If I didn’t know better, I would think he has been avoiding me. 

Heck, he didn’t even text me! My mind retorts with frustration. 

Well I didn’t text him either! My conscience judges, contradicting my earlier thought. 

I’m the one he wants, he should chase me more, geez. 

I walk around the party, holding my dress up to give way for my heeled feet to thrawl. 

Did I forget to mention that my cast is off? That’s right baby! I can walk with both feet and no crutch. I might’ve highlighted this before but I will say it again, it is so nice to walk with both feet effectively. I sigh. Trying to drive my attention to something else isn’t working. 

I have walked from one end of the hall to the other and Killian is nowhere to be seen. Ugh! 

I sight a blonde walking my way. Annoyance is suddenly the only thing I feel. 

Just great. It’s now he shows up. I roll my eyes. 

Killian is gone and Kaiden just happens to be everywhere. I drown the rest of my drink down my throat. Is there anywhere I can get drugs? Like how do I find a sure plug? I need to not think about anything and anyone but myself tonight and a pill can go a long way. 

I bite my lower lip. This is a teenage party. One thing I know about teenagers is they always know how to smuggle contrabands in. 

"I’m sorry I’m late. I promise you’ll have all of me tonight." Kaiden says and pulls me to him. His hands on my waist doesn’t give me the same thrill I got when I thought I felt Killian’s hands on me. 

I try to gasp for air. "Give me a second Kaiden, I need to ease myself." I fake a smile and walk away. 

Remember when I said I know the man I chose? Have you had a guess about who it is yet? Because my actions and thoughts are pointing towards it every damn time.
