Chapter 4 Trying to flirt?
- She screamed out as she backed off. Dustin got away before the content could get to him but then the atmosphere became Choky.
- "Geez who the hell made that!" he coughed out
- "My Bestie did and if you don't mind..get away" she replied as she was about walking away he pulled her back and pinned her to the basin
- "Too bad you're masked, but you have something on your face" he said as he slowly reached for her cheek to pick the crumbled pieces of the cake she had eaten earlier and pulled away.
- "Oh..thanks, now if you'll excuse me" she faked a smile as she walked away
- "I didn't say go" he rolled his eyes
- "sorry but I'm taken"
- She released a heavy sigh and walked back to the bar stand, Adrian was busy with his phone in his hands. She remembered dean suddenly and called him but he didn't pick up his phone.
- "Is it Dean?" Adrian asked suspiciously
- "Yeah..I thought he said he would be here..but he isn't picking up" she replied and rolled her eyes before keeping her phone back in her purse.
- "So..let's get away with it. I'd definitely call him when I get home" she added as Adrian crossed his hands around her shoulder and pulled her closer to himself.
- "You look good tonight.." he whispered to her ears
- She smiled and pulled away hitting his shoulders slightly
- "Be careful so you don't Fall in love" she winked at him . "Yeah sure I'd heed to that" he nods his head and then a voice came up.
- Her dad got on stage with a microphone in his hands.
- "Thank you all for coming to this wonderful celebration, please enjoy yourselves, eat as you want and drink as you want..please make sure you have fun" he said as the crowd clapped their hands cheering him up
- "I don't know why he called the party" Adrian said to her and then Renae walked to her
- "maybe he got high sales this week" Quinn rolled her eyes
- He holds party every time his income increases madly.. kinda annoying to her.
- "oh!"
- "So..please, the music! let everyone have good time dancing" he added before he walked down the stage.
- The DJ did the work, a slow music was what began to play. "I hate this type of song" Adrian rolled his eyes
- "c'mon.. let's go dance" Renae hit his shoulders
- "It'd help you a bit" she added
- That was kinda true so he agreed to that and walked away with her to the dance floor.
- Quinn sat back all alone by herself wishing Dean was there with her but how would she even recognize him.
- She got up her seat and went to the dancefloor to dance but then someone tapped her shoulders behind.
- Someone she has no idea of was standing behind her "you look sexy Miss, why don't I dance with you then take you upstairs" he said to her
- She had an irritated face on immediately
- "just leave me alone. I'm not doing that with you" she replied and wanted to turn away but he held her wrist tightly
- "oh yes you will..who wouldn't want me with them in bed, tell me what you need and I'll supply, take you to the room and satisfy you" he smirked
- She scoffed immediately.
- "you better get lost like I want you to" she replied sternly and then he pulled her to himself
- "What if I don't?!" he frowned obviously
- She became scared immediately.."I..I..." she stuttered
- "you had be___" the man trailed off
- "you can see the young lady is not in the mood for shit" Dustin said as he walked to them pulling her to him
- She had no option but to go with him. "And who are you to tell me that?" He asked
- He turned to her..she could recognize him
- "Why don't you tell him pepper?" he replied
- "peppe?" she thought
- "he is my man..so like I said scoot" she replied
- The man reluctantly left and after a while she pulled away from him
- "Excuse me?! pepper?" she asked him folding her hands
- "aren't you the pepper spray girl.." he smirked and cupped her cheeks
- "you must be pepper too since you're wearing such dress, it must be peppering" he said close to her ears and pulled away.
- The feeling of his breath on her neck sent sparks like never before down her spine.
- Who the hell is this guy?!
- She swallowed heavily and rolled her eyes
- "call it whatever you want Mister" she scoffed
- "you wanted to dance..why don't we dance together, I'm not a pervert actually so don't be scared" he replied
- She thought about it and sighed. Maybe it's worth it. He saved her anyways
- She agreed to dance with him and crossed her hands around his neck while he wrapped his hands around her waist.
- She felt kinda cold inside.."What's this feeling?" she thought and looked into his eyes
- "should I ask him to take his mask off?" she thought
- "no its against the rules" She added and sighed inwardly as they moved slowly to the rhythm of the song.
- "I thought you said you have a boyfriend" he asked her
- "yeah I did any problem with that?!" she replied with a side smile
- "I think he is kinda cliché to leave you here all by yourself.. what if you were hurt?" he asked her
- "he is not..he is just busy with work" she replied
- "a boyfriend choose work over his lover.. that's why I hate ROMANTIC relationships" he rolled his eyes. She laughed out lowly
- "I'm being serious.. its not fair to know someone, believe you're loved by that person when you're not their priority" he replied
- She found sense in it..that's what her father is like.
- A sad face took over
- "oh c'mon what's with that face..I didn't mean to get you sad" he hurriedly replied noticing her expression.
- "You're right" she smiled
- "let's forget it...after the dance where would you go?" he asked her
- "To the bar!" she jokingly replied and heard him chuckle
- "you know what I mean" he replied with a grin
- "I thought you said you're not a pervert?!" she asked as she leaned against his chest with their right hands intertwined, her left hand on his shoulder and his other hand around her waist
- "Goodness you think I am?" he chuckled beside her ears and felt the urge to bite it
- ."uh huh.." she replied and felt something soft and wet on her eat
- "oww!!" she exclaimed
- "oh I'm sorry.. its just a bad habit I'm trying to get rid if" he hastily replied
- She pulled away to stare at him..he looked innocent.
- "I have a bad habit too" she replied
- "What?" he asked her then;
- "ow!" he yelped as she stepped on his toes
- "what the__" he trailed off
- The music stopped and then Mr Gareth went back on stage.
- "I'd love you all to sit down and listen to this speech from my daughter Misha" he said
- Quinn froze "really? Misha?" she scoffed
- "I guess its time to part away" she said to the unknown guy before her and left before he could reply.
- The crowd gave a round if applause but couldn't find her.
- "I don't know why but I feel like he forgets I'm his daughter, his first daughter for goodness sake. people would think I don't even exist" she said as she sat down by their own table
- "its alright.. we are here for you" Adrian said as Renae nods
- "And where's that Misha?!" she asked since they couldn't even find her out on stage.
- "mmmm" Misha moaned as his hands slid down her waist to her a$$ grabbing it in his hands. She was in the restroom with one of the invitee making out with him.
- "ahh you're so hot inside and out" he said between her lips.
- She had bumped into the guy in the restroom but seeing how hot he is she could resist taking her eyes off him and that's how they got into where they are now.
- "And so are you" she replied
- "Mind if I take your mask off?" he asked as she was about to take it off herself she heard her name loudly.
- "Misha Gareth!!"
- That sounded like her dad voice. Her eyes went wide immediately as she pulls away. "damn I'm sorry I have to go now" she said as she adjusted her dress immediately
- "So soon darling?" he asked kissing her neck
- "Oh yeah.." she managed to reply and before he said another word she left the restroom back to the hall.
- "Where could she be?" Quinn thought and later on the crowd began to clap
- "oh there she is" Adrian replied as she walked to her dad with a slight bow and collected the mic from him
- "Thanks for being here..I'm so sorry I had things to do earlier, its really great to see large amount of people here to celebrate with us. And I'm grateful" she said as they clapped again.
- "I thank my dad especially... he is such a good man, hardworking and the type everyone would want as a father" she said as they made a sweet sound.
- "Pft indeed" Quinn rolled her eyes
- "I really have nothing to say and uh dad you didn't tell me about the speech if a thing" She laughed lowly
- He grabbed another mic and replied
- "Yeah I'm sorry sweetheart.. you see Misha is my right hand woman apart y wife, she is very intelligent and I'm also here because of her" he said
- "this sucks.. I'm leaving" Adrian said
- "but what about your other daughter?" someone from the crowd had asked
- "she...is always busy you see" his reply made her jaw drop
- "that's it..he is not even proud of me, I'm leaving too" Quinn angrily said as she got off her seat and left with Renae and Adrian.
- "Yeah..he is bad" Renae replied as they made their way out through the door
- "What the hell is his problem? is that how a normal dad is to behave?!" she asked no one in particular.
- Adrian and Renae said no word till she calmed down and got into the car
- "if he wants you alone..he should just say it and we'll give him and show him how to build and hold a better family" Renae said
- "Exactly" Adrian replied
- Once they got into the car and drove away Renae spoke up. "yeah who was that guy you were dancing with?" she smiled
- "Dean?" Adrian asked and saw her roll her eyes, "dean can be the same too, he didn't come cos of work!" she stretched out her hands and slapped her forehead
- "ouch..I'm sorry" Adrian replied softly
- "So if its not him..then who?" Renae asked.
- Her eyes went wide!
- "Damn! I didn't even ask for his name" she exclaimed
- "What?!" The rest of them exclaimed in unison and then she slapped her forehead again. "I'm so lame" she sighed
- "Its not your fault you had things in mind" Renae soothed her
- "but you two seemed like you knew each other, the way you laughed and smiled even danced together was really adorable" Adrian said that only made her smile.
- "I think so.." she said lowly
- "He doesn't know your name too?" Renae asked
- "I don't think so..he called me pepper" she shrugged
- "Wow..nice name, is it because of the dress is red?" Adrian laughed
- "I threatened to use the pepper spray on him" she shrugged with a laugh
- "You did what?" Renae exclaimed
- "Its a long story anyways.. let's forget it" she replied
- As soon as they got home they fell to different side of the room lazily.
- "Arrgh what a day!" Quinn groaned
- "Exactly.. you can go to bed, I'm not sleeping now" she replied
- "oh yeah sure let's go" Adrian replied and helped lift Quinn in a bridal style to her room then laid her on her bed.
- "Thanks.. I can't even carry myself" she chuckled and yawned
- "Its okay just promise me one thing.. don't think of anything that happened tonight, just rest okay?" he said warmly to her
- "I didn't even ask what? before you concluded your statement" she rolled her eyes with a laugh
- "yeah I won't!" she added
- "Good..goodnight angel" he replied as he got up from the bed then left her room
- "I hope so.." she sighed and took off her shoes
- Dustin flashed back to her mind. "But who is that guy anyways? I can't believe I couldn't get his name". The moment she remembered when they danced she had goosebumps all over her skin immediately.
- "ugh stop it..you can't see him again" she giggled and wished deeply she would see him again.
- And then she slept off without thinking of her dad nor her stepsister.
- Renae went back outside to get some cold breeze then saw a figure coming at her.
- It took her time before she recognized who that was.
- Dustin was seated by the bar stand stylishly trying to see if he could see Quinn but he hasn't. "sorry did you see a lady in red gown?" he asked one of the bar attendant
- "which one specifically, many are wearing red here Sir" he politely replied
- "Oh yeah..a short fit and flare gown, I guess she was here too"
- "oh I think I know who you're talking about, she left earlier with her friends.." he replied
- "oh really? the party Isn't even over" he muttered
- "Is that your girlfriend sir..I saw the you both danced" he said
- Dustin flinched back.."oh no she is not.. " he replied
- "oh okay then"
- "yeah..I think I should go too" he said and stood up to leave with Kendall beside him.
- "you look like you didn't find her" he said to him
- "Oh please..forget it" Dustin rolled his eyes and left the hall
- "So Sir.. we are done with the party, when do you think we leave for LA?" Kendall asked him
- "Dis you keep something there..your question is suspicious" He stood staring at him
- "oh not at all sir, just missed the atmosphere there" he replied
- "by this week" Dustin replied as Kendall nods his head
- "Dean?" Renae was shocked to see him. "oh hey..." he greeted lowly
- "If its Quinn she isn't up, she has gone to bed already.. Adrian is petting her to sleep" she replied. He nods his head hating he heard that again.
- "oh I see". He tuck his hands into his pocket. "And why didn't you come?" she asked him. "you mean to the party? I was there but probably you couldn't recognize me" he replied. "but she said she kept calling you" She replied
- "she called me once" he said in thoughts and rolled his eyes. "I didn't see that, besides you look hot in this dress" he said
- "oh thank you" she replied
- "I never knew you could be this beautiful. I thought you're always manly" he replied as she folded her arms.
- "Hope you're not trying to flirt?" she asked him
- "and what if I was?" he replied and walked closer to her
- "you'd be sorry" she whispered
