Chapter 2 EMERGENCY PROPOSAL

"You sound either too cool,I expect you to say yes without further explanation".

Antonio replied roughly but yet his voice was as deep as the ocean and had this sensual triggering to it that sent something shivering over Shelley's nerves.

She licked her lower lip.

"Well, don't get too full of yourself,I can still say no if I want to".

His glance shifted to her cleavage, secretly he compared her full bosom to the girl he had last night.

Apart from her cleavage, her pale flawless face and long Blonde hair that goes well with her light blue eyes doesn't seem to impress him.

"We have a deal then."

He said with one eyebrow quirked.

Shelley smiled back and shook her head with a cigar clamped in-between her teeth.

Antonio clicked his fingers and the serious looking man on black suit standing beside him gave her an envelope.

"It's interestingly fat."

She chuckled with excitement.

"100,000 USD will do that to any envelope" he smiled.

Shelley peeped into the envelope in doubt but the sight of the thousand dollar bills cleared every air of doubt,she looked up with a long grin on her face.

Exhaling a cloud of smoke from her mouth ,she chuckled softly.

"I didn't expect less from Antonio Montero himself."

"Good for you then ,so all you have to do is come into the room next morning and get into your character".

"Why not take me with you tonight Montero or am I not good enough for you?"

She said seductively.

Antonio stopped and his eyes moved around her body lustly as if they were stripping her,in quest to win him over with her sexiness, Shelley massaged her massive boobs licking her lower lip.

His eyes followed the moist pink of her tongue.

"You are average even for a one night stand, I go for the best"Antonio stated with a mocking smirk on his lips.

That answer shattered her but she was good enough to cover it up.

"That's rude,I have dated princes and men richer and more good looking".

Shelley boasted trying to hide her annoyance.

"When it comes to sex,not every man is gifted with the gift to maintain standards so I am not surprised with your honorable mentions,"he smiled.

"You are one spoiled brat", she sneered, followed by a deep sigh,"What if I do it for free."Shelley persisted.

A night Antonio Montero is something she can't possibly choose to let go,no sane woman could!

"That's not the issue,I would rather if you say...you want to show an appreciation for the contract that I gave you"he smiled.

"I have never had difficulty in seducing a man no matter his class not to talk of a womanizer like you".

Shelley confessed and leaned back on her chair.

She ran her fingers across her hair in frustration.

"Giving in for a trial won't be bad,meet me in the hostel room slut, better make me happy with your skills,I hate boring ladies."

Shelly's finely curved mouth shifted into a double edged, frankly sensual smile.

"What can I say,I am honored".

A night with Antonio Montero is something she can't possibly choose to let go,no sane woman could!

Suddenly the door of the bar opened and uniformed men entered the bar, creating a scene.

Two women in an expensive maiden uniform pushed an old lady in a wheelchair into the bar and approached them.

Antonio was dumbfounded at the same time, stuck to his seat.

"Grandma? How did she find me?"

He whispered to himself in disbelief.

People in the bar were fast to recognize the former beauty queen and the grandmother of Antonio Montero.

They started taking shots but the security guards were able to stop them and control them.

*****

Angela walked into the same bar, uncomfortably.

Being a very expensive place,there was not too much of a crowd there but she felt really uncomfortable going to the bar due to the catcalls and dirty stares from men at every corner.

"Welcome my lady, what can I get you?"

The friendly bartender smiled at her.

Angela needed that, she was a bit at ease finally.

"Thanks but I am okay with just water, I will be waiting for someone".

He nodded and got her a bottle of water.

"Thanks".

Angela smiled at him then sighed and her date's number again for the fourth time ever since she came into the bar and he was nowhere to be found.

For the first time she had gotten out of her shell to go on a date. Although a dating site is not a good idea but she had no choice, desperate to prove her sister wrong, she had agreed to go on a date with the first man that chatted her up.

He was the one who chose the expensive bar.

After three hours,her phone beeped. It was a message from the man, explaining his change of mind about their date.

Angela smiled sadly to herself as tears rolled down freely.

Kerry was right after all.

"I need a drink!"

She waved at the bartender.

And from there she kept on drinking and drinking.

Shots after shots.

"I need another glass please".

Angela requested unable to see the blurred out face of the bartender.

"Are you sure you can handle it,you are already drunk".

The man replied and looked over the other side unsure why people gathered around a particular table.

"See I have the money to pay,just give me the fucking cocktail!"

She throws bills at him emptying her purse until no penny is left.

"Please..I have a lot to get off my chest".

She sobbed.

The bartender shrugged.

She licked the last drop from the glass and heard a female voice call Tony from the back. The name of her date is Antony,she had to check her phone to be sure.

"Antony?"

Angela gasped.

She got up from her seat and started walking towards the table.

She staggered through the throng,drunkenly.

"Hey, watch it!"

Someone pushed her, she fell dramatically into Antonio's arms and burst into tears.

All eyes went to her and Antonio,who was tempted to throw her off his body but since he was in a public space he had to play a gentleman.

Angela looked up at his blurry face and burst into tears.

"Why...did you call me out here and then dump me? Am I not enough? It's not fair..."

Antonio, his grandmother,Shelley and the rest of onlookers watched her speechless.

"Who is she?"

Antonio's grandmother asked with a brow raised.

Antonio had no idea what was going on but he had no other choice.

This is what his grandma wanted after all. A bride for Antonio.

He went on his knees.

"I was scared about my grandma's reaction to our secret relationship,but since she is here,Angel, will you marry me?"
