Being His Date
740 Words
I woke up the next morning with the feeling of emptiness.I went downstairs and heard that he came back at 4 am and went back again at 7.
I fumed with anger.He didn't even care about me.Then why should I care about him.
The rest of the day passed by in such remorse.That night,I stood in the balcony as the cold air touched my skin.
I didn't want to be touch by this wind.I wanted his fingers on my body.I wanted his lips on mine.
I looked at the clock.It was 1 am,silent and cold.
Suddenly,I realized,it was my birthday.
He didn't even remember.
Then all of a sudden,I felt tears streaming down my cheek.
A call maybe? Did he forget that it's my birthday?
But he always used to wish me and make my day special.
How can he forget it so easily?
Was I not important to him anymore?
The rest of the night,I cried and sobbed.My heart was in so much pain.I just wanted him to call me and say whisper my name.
"Was it too much to ask for?"
The sun rose slowly.The sky was golden.The birds were playing among the clouds with their loved ones.The leaves were greener than usual.I heard the birds chirping.
I cried a lot that day.I didn't eat anything either.All I did was lay in the bed and cry.
Suddenly the bright skies were replaced with grey ones.The mood of the sky was just like my mind.
I looked at the window as the rain poured down to the ground.The thunder crashed as I gripped tightly.Lightning flash across my eyes.
A knock was placed on my door.I peeked from under the duvet.A maid peeked through the door.
"Miss Lucia.Mr.Vernon asked for your presence." She said.I nodded.Is he home already?
It was just 4 pm but it was extremely dark.I walked downstairs just to see him.He looked much paler.His half opened eyes met mine.I narrowed down my eyes so that he couldn't guess I was crying because of him.
"Lucia...What happened?" He rushed to me and lifted my jaw.
"Nothing." I whispered.
"What-what do you mean nothing? Why are you crying?" He couldn't even speak properly due to his sleeplessness but his words showed genuine love and care but I didn't want that anymore.
"I am not feeling well." I bluffed.
"Lucia,why didn't you tell me?" He asked as we walked in my room.
"As if you were home." I taunted and looked somewhere else.
"You could've called me.Lucia...I-I am sorry." He said.I was just waiting for him to wish me but I guess I just have to accept that he forgot.
''Remember about the party I told you? We are going there today." He said and smiled.
"The stylists will be here any minute so while you get ready,I will take a nap." He said.
"I don't want to go with you." I whispered and gently pushed his chest.
"Wait...you-you don't want to?" He asked as sadness flashed across his eyes.
"No." I replied.His once parted lips closed as his expressions went blank.He just stared at me vaguely.
I stood on my knees to kiss him.I pressed my lips upon his as I felt a heat rush through my body.He grabbed my waist and pushed me to the bed, devouring me with his kiss.
I moaned slowly and kissed him again.
"You're so bad.Why did you leave me?" I cried.
"Lucia...I didn't leave you.You are and will always be my first priority, remember that." He said.
"You still aren't going?" He asked.I giggled and looked down.
"No." I replied in a childish tone.
"Come on.Get ready." He placed a peck on my neck.
Suddenly I forgot that he didn't remember my birthday. However,I tried to push that aside and waited for the stylists to come.

The stylists and makeup artists came.I sat down on a chair.All the women seemed pretty friendly.Their russian accent was irritating me a bit.
"You are such a beauty." said the woman who was doing my make up.I smiled at her.
"So what are you to Mr.Vernon?" She asked.
"I...um.I am just his date for tonight." I replied.I didn't know what I was to him.
"Just a date? The way he talked about you,it seemed like you mean a lot to him." She said.
"Oh?"
"Do you want me to cover those up?" She asked.
"Cover what?" I asked.She pointed her eyes on my hickeys.
"Oh...oh yes,yes." I said uneasily as I was embarrassed.
After our makeup and dress up session,I looked at the mirror.
"So divine." The stylist said.
"Do you know that every woman in the country wants to wear her designer clothings but we are Mr.Vernon's personal workers." She winked.
"Thank you guys." I said.
