With Love Simone

Chapter 3 An Adventerous Peek A Boo With A Mafia

The thick blanket of black had spread in the sky when dressed in his black tux Ashton made his way in the Casino Admiral at exactly 8:15. After a hectic day of getting acquainted with his new working place as well as the staff who thought him to be some eye candy, he sure was tired and stiff as a rock.

But when friends make a plan then do, we even have the potential to ditch them for our sleep? What if they broke into the house to drag us with them? Along with reputation, a lot goes on the stake then. Our beautiful hearing is damaged and apart from some mouthful curses, we can’t hear anything now. Can we?

So, now he was here looking around the big place filled with people but there was no sign of Alice and Rex who were supposed to reach directly from Rex's office who stayed in the office Penthouse.

“Where are these two lovers?" He mused.

“Please, don’t tell me they got another corner to have their million-dollar make-out session. I’m so not in a mood of a dirty picture.” He added already disgusted if that was the case for their late arrival.

He travelled his eyes around the jam-packed place when a black figure caught his attention. Her straight back, long hair and lean tanned legs visible from the slit of dress grabbed his eyeballs with interest.

But he couldn’t see her face.

Yet, he was certain she was…. heavenly.

As the curiosity got the best of his rising heartbeat, he made his way towards her table. There, the males were eyeing her lustfully. He had the sudden urge to rip there heads out for even staring a girl in such shameless way.

But could he blame them?

When from far away he felt a pull towards this female then how can the near ones around her not feeling the vibe of attraction for her?

She radiated a strong confidence in the air witnessing which even the already present girls on the table looked defeated.

Before he could approach her, she vanished in a secluded corner followed by one of the men. Her guards tagged behind her and he let out a sigh. For some reason he didn’t appreciate that she was alone with that guy but when the case was not so, relief coursed through his body. Not wanting to disturb any business dealing he stayed at his place only, but he couldn't take her out of his mind.

Her slim figure, that hugged the black gown perfectly just showed how she was born to be a model, but who was she exactly?

"Hola, what happened?" He was brought back to the earth by Rex's voice who eyed him curiously.

Alice looked at him and then twirled her copper curls around beaming at the jealous looks the female gave her.

“Nothing.” He replied absent minded still with his eyes fixated on the way the black beauty went. He wondered why his heart wanted to follow her? But he can't take the charge of trespassing now, can he?

"I have booked the table in the restaurant. Let's eat first then we can play.” He nodded at Rex’s advice as they made their way towards the gaming section.

Ashton kept on stealing glances behind his back for her one glimpse. This sudden desperation was new to him, yet he didn’t know how to get over it. Perhaps, it was a first for him.

Then, he saw her heading towards the exit in the hurry on the opposite side. Her diamond earring fell on the floor.

"You both go. I’ll be back.” He said and without even waiting for their reply, he ran behind her.

She rushed her way on the marble floor guarded by her security. He debated if she was someone important. Maybe, a government official or anyone in power.

"Hey, you!" He called after her and she halted on her steps. The guards became alert and looked in his direction. He didn’t misinterpret their action because it was their duty to protect their owner.

She tilted her head a little but didn’t around. He presumed she saw his reflection in the glass door. And hoped, she would acknowledge his call.

He had picked up her earring on his way and wanting to return them he took steady steps towards her with his heart playing tricks on him.

Before he could reach out to her, she dashed out of the door hurriedly with everyone else tagging along with her in their attentive modes.

Ashton ran behind her totally flustered at her reaction.

“Miss, your earring.” He called out hoping that her lost accessory might interest her but instead she jumped in her car and sped away whilst he kept on standing in the deserted road with her dangler.

He raised his hand to gaze at the jewellery and caressing it he queried.

"What happened just now?"

***

Like a rising thunder, passing storm, and endless sea she drove and drove until the end of the road. Smile didn’t leave her face; heart didn’t lose its rhythm, but she still drove as if enjoying the lover’s song of the night playing in a distant street. Maybe, someone was tying the knot, or someone had just given birth. People were in the mood to rejoice. Hence, playing loud music that was audible even from far away.

At any other time maybe, she would have hated it and wanted to smash the one playing it so loudly in the night but not today.

It was a different day. Very different. In one day, she had skipped her heartbeat twice. Why?

The answer was not known to her. Neither did she wanted to know but she wanted to rejoice like anyone else.

And no one’s company is as good as the company of your own self.

They say, the way you know thy self, no one can know you. And it was the truest thing ever for her. A plan was rummaging in her head; a game was forming at a speed.

The speed of her mind urged her to bring her car to a stop at a far away secluded place.

She got down; grabbed the Champaign bottle from the back; opened the c**k and gulped it straight down her throat.

With a smirk playing on her lips, she sat on the bonnet of the car; her back laid at the windshield while her eyes stuck at the twinkling stars.

And then as a lonesome partner, she talked to herself with her lips twitching from one side to another.

"So eager to see me, my sexy. Have patience. Soon your smile will transform into terrorizing shrieks when you will know who this lady is in black!”

"Just a week more, before Simone Thompson will barge in your life like a cyclone to make you hers!"

“But will you be mine with every breath of yours?”
