Venged Love

can I have this dance

Anabel strolled into Dylan office, he signalled for her to sit down, "Are you okay? he asked.

"Yes sir, I'm fine" Anabel replied.

Dylan, "Is there anything bothering you?

Anabel,"No sir".

What is wrong with this man, when did he start to be caring? she questioned.

"May I ask why you are concerned? she couldn't help but ask.

"Well, nothing. just noticed you have been dull today, I'm responsible for all my employees" he stated.

Ofcourse he didn't care if anything happened to his employees, he was a cold hearted man but to Anabel he wanted to be soft.

"it's nothing I can't handle" she smiled softly.

He smiled back at her and dismissed her.

The day had gone by quickly, Anabel left her office preparing to go home when John blocked her path.

"So instead of going to a club, we ended up going to a party", he giggled.

Anabel," I guess so".

John," so would you accept my proposal of a dance?

Anabel,"well, why not".

"There would be no such thing, I don't accept intimacy amongst my employees" a voice came from behind them.

John was startled as he turned around, the shock on his face upon seeing Dylan made him shiver, Dylan stared coldly at him and departed.

"Did you know he was behind us, you didn't seem scared" John asked Anabel.

"I felt someone was behind us but didn't care who it was, she tapped John shoulder's "I will see you tomorrow John" she said leaving John behind.

The night had been so long as Anabel prepared strategies and disguises on how to execute her plan, all she needed now was to check out the venue.

She pulled out a paper from her pocket which she had written the address of the event.

Dressed in a black hoodie and trousers, she had on a black mask and a baseball cap and left in the cover of the night.

Anabel stood in front of a big mansion, walking around it twice to pinpoint all the camera's and guards and carefully writing it down.

Noticing an open window, she crept in, it was already 12am and the residents were probably asleep.

She tiptoed around the house, noticing every nook and crannies, she opened a room and saw someone sleeping, trying to open up the sheets to see the face, she heard footsteps,and she jumped out through the window, landing on the grass, she picked to her heels and ran away.

At the same time, Dylan who had been sitting in darkness in his room, heard footsteps but seemed like the person was tiptoeing, he got up to check if it was Delvin when he saw him still sound asleep, turning away, he realised the air in Delvin's room was off, like someone was here, looking out the window, he found no one.

Anabel ran with so much speed as if her life depended on it, entering her house, only then was she able to breathe properly.

The evening of the event had come by so quickly,

a knock came at Anabel door, opening it she couldn't find anyone other than a big box at her door step.

She picked up a card written on it "wear it tonight. In the package was a black dress with a slit.

Dylan was dressed in a white suit, he had combed his hair backwards giving him an angels look,as he sat at corner watching the event.

The banquet was filled with guests but Dylan's eyes kept wandering.

Anabel walked in in a beautiful black dress as she swayed her hair, she had added a few modifications to her dress leaving her back bare causing the dress to fold into a v line.

The scorpion tattoo on her back was very eye catching, everyone seemed to halt as they noticed her presence.

"Who was this young lady? a few people chattered to themselves.

Dylan's body burned up immediately he saw her, standing up he walked towards her but before he could reach her John had already appeared.

"WOW, you look stunning" John smiled.

Anabel swayed her shoulders to express how grateful she was for his compliment.

John felt a cold stare as he shifted his head to see Dylan standing behind Anabel.

"I will see you later" he hurriedly left escaping Dylan wrath.

"You look good in the dress" Dylan said from behind Anabel causing her to turn giving her the most angelic face, Dylan heart melted at this little motion as he tried to control himself.

"I assume you bought the dress, I am sorry I made a few modifications to it" she replied.

"It looks... better this way" he stuttered.

"May I have your attention everybody" the MC spoke as he lifted a wine glass.

He continued "We are gathered here today to celebrate the Birthday of Mr Delvin.

I would love to propose a toast, shall we all raise our wine glasses.

Happy Birthday Mr Delvin".

Delvin lifted his glass in the air as an acknowledgement, the guests clapped for him as he slightly nodded.

A soft song began playing as the guests took their stands on the dance floor, holding each other so intimately.

This situation became akward for Dylan and Anabel as they avoided each other's gaze.

Anabel turned to leave when Dylan held her, he stood in front of her and stretched his hands, "Can I have this dance?

Anabel reciprocated and they proceeded to the dance floor, with his hands on her waist and her hands on his shoulders, they stared at each other.

They seemed to have outshined the other guests as the spotlight was on them, "They look like a perfect couple" people whispered among themselves.

Dylan looked at her affectionately, then whispered in her ear "put yours hands around my neck",she obeyed, the distance between them had closed up, as Dylan could feel her warmth, it was the strangest but best feeling ever, they danced in each other's arms for a while until Anabel leaned on Dylan's shoulder and whispered "Mr Dylan, I need to go now".

Dylan countenance dropped as he watched her walk away.
