THE PLAY GIRL
Entering the ballroom, her elegant blue emerald crystalline dress attracted the gaze of the crowd with it’s sparkles. The smoothness and fragrance of her skin stagnated all movements in the room, her hazel eyes flickered a sense of seduction and her dimple that exposes anytime she smiles left the people in a daze as they stared in awe. “This is a perfect definition of beauty”. Someone remarked. “ Yes, she is indeed beautiful.” Another person affirmed. He rushed forward to welcome her as he stretched out his hand to take hers and led her through the hallway. They drew the attention of the crowd; Some darting angry glances at him, others admiring her beauty, ladies, trying to get his attention and lots of whisperers from the crowd tensed the atmosphere.
He pulled the chair for her to sit in a gentle manner. What would you like to drink, my lady”. He enquired in a soft tone. “a glass of Chardonnay wine is fine by me.” She responded. The waiter brought a bottle of Chardonnay wine . Delvis poured the wine for Niella in a romantic gesture. Niella sipped the wine from time to time as Delvis kept staring at her beauty. ‘beautiful indeed’, he murmured. He asked her onto the dance floor and pulled her closer to himself and placed his hands around her waist whiles she puts her arms around his neck.
They moved in synchrony with the flow of the music as he basked himself in the freshly cut flower-like fragrance of her perfume while gazing at her keenly. Niella took a surreptitious glance at the crowd to confirm if Nicholas who is somehow queer was not there. ‘Hah, thank God’, she was alleviated. But this alleviation lasted for only a minute as she felt her phone vibrating. She wanted to excuse herself to pick up the call but Delvis pulled her into a tight embrace as he slammed his lips against hers.
Niella responded by moaning softly under the intense passionate – hot kiss. They gasped for air as Delvis kissed her neck ardently and softly that tickled her. Niella freed herself from his grasp and took her seat. Delvis came to her and said apologetically; ‘I couldn’t control myself, you’re so beautiful Niella’.
Niella beckoned him to sit down and clinked her glass with his. They started speaking about their lives and their future together. As they kept talking about themselves, Niella paused suddenly and said between her teeth, ‘here comes the devil’. ‘hey babe, there you are. Thought I wouldn’t find you., she uttered. Niella stood up to hug her friend and whispered, ‘what are you doing here’. Can I talk to you for a moment?. She released her of the hug and turned to Delvis, ‘Del, please meet my friend and a sister Lisa, Lisa, meet my boyfriend Delvis’….
Lisa shook hands with Delvis with confusion drawn over her face whiles forcing a smile. She excused herself and pulled Niella along to the ladies’ washroom. ‘ what the hell is going on Niella, don’t tell me that’s another big fish. Hope he is richer than Nicholas and Manuel. The game is getting more interesting, and oh, poor Delvis, he is so handsome, he doesn’t deserve this. She blurted. Niella heaved a sign and cupped Lisa’s cheeks in her palms and said, ‘they deserve this, even worse than this’.
Lisa nodded in agreement and suddenly, ‘ I nearly forgot, Nicholas is on his way coming, he is almost here. He called to confirm your whereabouts but I couldn’t cover up for you because Angie already told him’. ‘oh shoot, the nerve of that girl! Then help me to cover up. I will wait at the entrance to pull Nicholas away, whiles you keep Delvis company, find an excuse to leave here after I’m gone. We will meet at the apartment. Lisa left and Niella adjusted her dress and reapplied her makeup and headed out. At the far right end of the entrance, she turned to return Nicholas’ call when someone abruptly hugged her from the behind. She became stern and started to quiver, fear written all over her face and she became numb and agitated, ‘this, this feeling,, ……….…….
