Chapter 4 PARTY

Chapter 4

~ Katharine ~

.

I groaned softly as my eyes slowly open.

I looked around as the familiarity of my room settled in me.

I sat up on my butt when I realized I had cried and fallen asleep on the bed.

My face was tight from all the crying.

I looked over to my wall clock and it was 17:50pm...... Slept that long.

I washed my face in the bathroom and came out.

I felt bored so I decided to call Olivia; my friend right from my time at college. We lived in the same house until I got married to Damon.

"Hey Olives " I said into the phone.

I expected my voice to come out with glee but it came out low and hoarse.

"Katharine!" she yelled over the phone, making me squeal.

"You forgot about me, how dare you? Since you got married to that sexy Greek god of yours, you don't even call. You're so caught up in ecstasy that you totally forgot about your bestie.

By the way, how's that sexy pant of yours doing? How was the first night? How long did he last?" She blabbed over the phone.

I sucked in a breath and heaved it out.

Olivia the parrot!

"First of all Olives, I didn't forget you " I said when she finally gave me a chance to speak.

"I was so caught up in my miserable shattered life that I didn't have the chance to call you" I blurted out and she breathed out an "oh".

"Why would you say that? What happened" she asked me.

I sighed and looked over to my table to see a present lying there.

"We'll talk when we see each other but for now I'll hang up" I said eager to know what the present is.

"OK take care" she said and hung up.

I went over to my table and took the present.

I tore it to reveal a silver dinner gown.

It's so beautiful.

"You like it?" I heard a voice and my head snapped to the door to see Damon standing there in all his half-naked glory.

Why does he have to be so cute?

I closed my eyes and looked away when I remembered what he's done.

"It's for a party the CEO of the company I want, organized" he said but I said nothing. I only stood there admiring the dress.

"We'll leave at 19:30 so get ready" he said and left.

There wasn't exactly anything I could do. I already agreed to help him.

My stomach growled and I sighed.

I'll eat at the party.

I went to the bathroom and tidied up.

I put on the dress, styled my hair and applied some make up.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled.

I'm so beautiful.

I looked over to my wall clock and it was 19:25.

How fast time flies.

I took a matching purse with my heels and went downstairs.

My mouth slightly fell open when I saw Damon in his tux.

I blinked rapidly and looked away from the evil grin on his face.

"Let's go " he said and I followed him out.

The ride was quite long and calm.

We got to the party and alighted.

Damon intertwined my hand in his arm and we dramatically walked in as lovely couples .........fake couples.

There were cameras clicking from all angles and my legs wobbled a little.

Damon noticed and slid his arm around my waist then pulled me to his side.

We went to a round table where I presume all important people sat.

My eyes wandered everywhere looking for something to eat and paying no attention to the boring speech that was going on.

I smiled as some waiters served our table food.

"What would you like ma'am " a male waiter asked.

He squatted to my mouth level so he could hear me.

"Just get me French fries and orange juice" I said and he nodded.

I smiled and looked over to Damon to see him glaring at the waiter.

My French fries arrived and I smiled at him.

I slowly ate my French fries as the activities go on.

The table was cleared and a man in his 60s came to the table.

I'm sure he's the CEO of the company Damon wants.

I can't help but wonder why Damon wants this company.

I mean Damon is a well known billionaire so what the hell does he wants it for?

"So, Damon is she the angel that captured your heart "the man said, looking over at me and

Damon nodded with what I'm sure to be a fake smile.

"She's beautiful" he complimented.

"Thank you" I smiled.

After the little chit chat, I felt bored when they started talking about business stuffs so I went out to catch some alone time.

"Hi" I heard someone say and my head snapped up to see a cute guy.

He'll be the same age as Damon if I'm correct.

"Hello" I said slowly.

"May I sit with you?" he asked and I smiled giving him the hint to sit down.

"I'm Ken" he smiled.

"I'm Katharine" I smiled back.

My mood lightened up with Ken's presence.

I found myself laughing at any joke he makes.

I sighted Damon coming toward us, eyes shooting daggers and my laughter died.

"We have to leave" he declared, glaring at Ken.

"Why? The party isn't over yet" I said, trying to reason with him as I was mostly having fun courtesy of the company I have.

"I don't care, we are leaving right now" he growled.

I looked at Ken to see him a little shaken from the way Damon acted and the glare he's been receiving.

"No" I stated bluntly.

He hissed between gritted teeth and held my arm, being gentle not to leave a bruise then he pulled me up.

"Let go" I demanded but he paid no attention as he dragged me to the car.

He opened the car door and gently pushed me in.

He boarded the car and drove off in high speed.

We arrived home and alighted.

Damon gave me a blunt look and entered the house.

I wonder what's up with him.

I went up to my room, freshened up and lay on my bed.

I took my phone and texted Olivia where to meet tomorrow at 10:20am.

I dropped my phone and slept off.

~ Damon ~

.

After having a cold shower to calm my nerves, I put on my brief and lay on my bed.

What's wrong with me? Why did I behave like that?

I was so angry when that waiter at the party was smiling and interacting with Katharine.

I got more pissed when I saw her laughing with a guy outside and that's why I left the party even though it was still going on.

But why did I do that?

It's her life and I better stop being pokey.

I sighed and lay on my bed with closed eyes, waiting patiently for sleep to envelope and partly thinking why I got so angry when I saw Katharine with that guy.
