-HER ONE NIGHT STAND-
Nina scrunched her face and smiled the next minute after taking all the shots. She could feel the excitement and this sent her straight to the dance floor.
She whined her waist and twerked as per the best of the song. She was having a great time and she really wondered why she had never turned up. She was so lost, pleasing Derrick that she didn't realise that she was missing out on her life.
She was still young and she had to have fun.
Nina twerked some more as she looked towards the direction of that elderly man who looked like he was above thirty five years old.
Tonight, she wanted to be in the arms of a man. She did not want to hang out with the college boyfriends who really didn't know what they wanted. He wanted to be in the hands of her man who had everything figured out.
Nina decided to make the first move. Taking another shot, she walked to where the man was, sipping from his cup of whiskey.
" Don't think that I have not seen you undress me with your eyes," Nina teased as she sat right opposite from where he was seated.
" I love what I am seeing." He said with a rusty voice that she fell in love with, instantly.
" Really?" Nina asked. For some reason, she didn't feel as pretty until he said it. She kept wondering, if she was as pretty, then why did Derrick cheat on her.
" Are you kidding me? You turned me on the way you were shaking your hips. Hips surely don't lie," He said and Nina's face flushed. She loved being hitted on and she commended this guy for making her the centre of attention.
" What's your name?" Nina asked.
" Tonight, how about you call me Handsome?" He teased, making Nina feel excited.
" A glass of champagne," She told the waiter. She wanted to sit here and drink with this man who made her feel all these good emotions going on . Honestly, by being around him, she had forgotten what Heather and Derrick did to her earlier on.
" Are you okay?" He was keen enough to notice that her eyes were red and swollen. It was crystal clear that there was something bothering her.
" f**k it!" Nina cursed under her breath before gulping down the bottle of champagne that the waiter served her. She thought that she had done all it takes to hide her heartbreak but it turns out that Handsome was quite keen.
" What is it? You can talk to me. I can handle anything you want to tell me no matter how big you think it is," Handsome said and Nina was lost for words. Never once had Derrick ever said something like this to him. In the few minutes that she had been sitting around him, she could already tell that he is caring and keen to notice if something is bothering her.
" Well, I found my boyfriend cheating with my best friend today. When I confronted him, he chose to break up with me instead," Nina said and this brought back all the pain that she had tried to mask since she found out the truth.
Fat tears fell from her eyes. She had tried holding them back but it was close to impossible. She started crying all over again. The pain was too much for her to bear. Her soul felt like it was on fire and her heartfelt heavily like a rock.
" I am really sorry," He said, getting off his seat to give her a hug.
Nina couldn't control herself. She ended up sobbing even more on his shoulder but he was patient to allow it to happen.
" I am sorry," He added and eventually Nina managed to calm down.
" Should we go to my place? I want you to forget what happened today. I want to give you a night that you would never forget," He whispered softly in her ear and all the hairs of her body rose. There was something about his voice, now his cologne that really got to her.
" Let's get out of here," Nina said and he snaked his hand around her waist, walking with her out.
They got inside his car and as he drove, one of his hands was rubbing her shoulder gently, he hoped that this was enough to calm her down. He wanted to see that joyous Nina back, not this sad Nina crying over a guy who did not deserve her in the first place.
They arrived in his five star hotel room and Nina felt safe around him, despite him being a stranger.
" Sit," He patted at his bed, next to him.
" I don't want to see you ever cry. You are a beautiful woman who deserves to be loved. You don't deserve a man who chooses to cheat yet you have all it takes to make men want to kill just to be with you," He said.
"Would you want to kill for me?" Nina asked after a long while of silence.
" Do you want me to?" He asked as he moved closer, pulling a stray strand of hair that was on her face and tucking it being her ear.
" Yes," Nina scoffed. At this point, she didn't care about the age difference between the two of them. People would probably judge when they see them together but she didn't care. What she cared about was that this guy made her feel loved, sexy and beautiful.
" Let me go and take a shower," He said, deflecting from the conversation.
The shower was right across the bed, it had a clear glass that she could see right through it.
She watched as he removed all his clothes and walked in. Nina could not lie to herself, not anymore when she was too wet for him.
Without being asked, she got rid of all her clothes and followed her to the bathroom..
