AUBREY’S POV
I took a bold move and went towards this one guy as the other men stared in daze. Each of them was filled with the curiosity of whom I was going to pick. I loved the attention that I was getting thanks to this.
“Hey angel,” He said and I was flattered. He had hapilly recieved the cue to choose me. By him choosing me I was happy that at least someone knew that I was still an angel. I wish that Eli could know this.
Heck, I need to stop thinking about him. He left me and all I am supposed to do is to be mad at him for what he did.
“Hi,” I forced a smile.
“He chose me,” He bragged to the rest of the men before he took my hand and walked me to the empty seats nearby.
“How are you?” He asked while maintaining an eye contact. I was not used to this therefore as a distraction I used to this moment to look around for Jill and I was glad to see her dancing with some guy. She was clearly having so much fun.
"Hey,"He greeted me again and I realised that I had to pay attention to him.
“Hey, I am fine,” I lied.
"My name is Edward Corey. Can you please tell me your beautiful name?" He asked reaching for my hand.
“My name is Aubrey. “ I stammered. I was still flattered by him calling me beautiful. I needed to hear this so that I could understand that some men still find me attractive, even if Eli didn’t see my value to the extent of leaving me all alone on our wedding day.
“Aubrey, tell me about yourself dear,” He was really interested to get to know me.
Robert was more handsome than Eli. His smile was infectious and his toned body made him sexy.I could tell that he frequents at the gym. His toned abs showed under the grey t-shirt he was wearing. He had recently gone for a haircut and that is why he looked so much put together.
“Some champagne please,” He signaled the waiter.
I sat there staring at him not knowing whether to tell him about what Eli did to me or not. Honestly this is the first time that we are meeting and I don’t really know if telling him the truth is a good idea or not.
“Well...” I paused before taking the glass of champagne and draining it in a few seconds.
“Tell me things, I am here to listen,” He urged me.
“You are right. I should tell you things. Things that have made me become this broken woman,” I said through gritted teeth when I recalled of what Eli did to me.
“Tell me more about it,” He became very interested.
“Well, today was supposed to be my wedding day, but the guy who was to be my husband left me and eloped with my best friend. Right now as I am speaking, I don’t know where they are,” This words coming out of my mouth made tears form a stream down my cheeks. The pain did not seem to disappear. My heart felt heavy. I felt the consistent taste of bitter bile tasting at the back of my throat.
Tears started raining from my eyes and at this point and time, I could not control it.
“He has wasted my time. I would be happier right now with someone who loves me genuinely and the person would never hurt me but that is not the case. He used me. I wish that he could be honest with me that he loved my friend instead of lying to me all that time” I ranted as more tears fell from my eyes like water from a faulty tap.
“You are so very beautiful Aubrey. Any man in the entire world would cross the oceans to be with you. I am happy that I met you. You are a wonderful woman and I am going to treat you like a queen. Forget about him and his selfishness, you will be happy with me my dear,” He confessed.
"Really?" I shuddered at the unexpected contact in the mid of my thighs as a sudden strong current of electrifying tingles ran through my body from the tip of my hair to the tip of my little toe when he touched me.
“You don’t deserve to be hurt Aubrey. Just give me a chance tonight and I will make you forget him. I will make you feel on top of this world and after that, you will never think about Eli again,” Robert said this word by word and since I had too much to drink, I did not think it over clearly. I allowed the liquor to make the decision for me and this was careless of me.
I allowed him to pull me out of the cab and we headed to his house. I needed to forget Eli and I was doing my best to ensure that I forget all about him.
Robert couldn’t wait for us to get to his place. As soon as we got to the room and locked the door behind us, he placed his hand on my hip and pulled me into him. I was too tipsy and instead of telling him to stop, I looked up and my eyes met his. My eyes instantly became excited and I ran my tongue along my lower lip seductively.
Robert swallowed hard and leant to me leaving a small gap between us for me to close. I slipped my hands around his neck and the other landed on his chest and I closed the space between us.
Suddenly, I felt his breath on my ear feeling a wave of electrical surge speed through me when he had leaned too close for the comfort of my hormones. My heart picked twice its usual speed and my body could never be much aware of every inch of him.
As soon as his lips touched mine, I moaned softly. I had not kissed for quite some time and when I remembered that Eli was sleeping around with my ex-best friend Victoria, I felt the urge to kiss Robert more. To me, it felt like a payback. I fisted my tee in his fingers and our lips interconnected, whimpering against his lips.
He held me tighter against him, kissing me a little harder. His lips were perfect, soft and very kissable. The feel of his lips against mine was enough to get my pulse rising. Who knew that other than Eli I would find someone who would kiss me this good? I should not have thought that no one would ever replace him because someone will definitely replace him.
I wish I knew this. If I did then I would not have cried over him as if my life was going to end just because he left. Life moves on.
“Let’s go to bed, I want to make you forget everything,” Robert moaned to my lips and the sound of forgetting everything got me revved up.
I ran my tongue along his lips and he parted his lips. I was quick to slip my tongue into her mouth nudging him and our tongues were soon dancing together.
His grip on me tightened as he walked me backwards, pushing my back against the wall. I pressed myself against him and our lips did not break even once.
I could feel my excitement beginning to stir and at the same time I could feel the growing hardness of his c**k. We were already in his bedroom and before I could stop, I was already undressing for him. I was going to do it so as to forget Eli.
It really had to be done. I needed to forget about Eli, fast.
“Bend for me baby,” He instructed.
