Flushed by a rush of erotic emotion, Sheri walked closer to Jill to not look so lonely. Only to realize that she probably looked like a third wheel because Jill was vibing hard with the guy she was talking to. Feeling a bit off Sheri glanced back to see if the governor was still watching.
Not only was he still watching, his eyes lit up and a sexy smirk appeared on his face when he saw Sheri look back at him.
This caused her to imagine if this is how he would look at herbif he was hitting it from the back and she looked back.
Aaahhhh! What's wrong with me! Sheri screamed in her head. Deciding this was too much to deal with on her own, she grabs Jill's attention.
"Hey." Sheri tapped Jill's shoulder.
"Can talk to you for a sec."
Jill "Excuse me, I gotta check on my friend. What's your name again?"
"Anthony. Anthony Lawson. And yours?" His voice was so sexy and captivating that Sheri almost blurted out her name.
Jill seemed to be just as affected by this mans charm because she said "oh.. my name is... ah, Isa Rae."
"Like the actress Isa Rae?" The man quizzed.
"Yes! Well, no. It's Isa Mendoza. Isa Rae Mendoza."
Wow. Sheri thought to herself, Jill just added a middle name to her Alias. Nice.
"Ok well Isa Rae Mendoza. Maybe I'll see you later or hire a private eye since I have your full government name to find you if I don't." Anthony winked and strolled off.
He left ladies gawking in his wake.
Jill slowly turned to face her friend. With a tight-lipped smile, she asks "So what in the world was so important that you pulled me away from my future husband or at the very least father to my bastard love child?"
Sheri nervously chuckles and says " Oh... I just wanted to say that the guy who's supposed to be handing me my award tonight is making lovemaking eyes at me."
Jill's eyes bulged.
"I... I know right. How crazy?!" Sheri says bemused by the strange encounter.
"You damn right it's crazy." Jill said manically "It's crazy that instead of you and the governor sneaking past his entourage and hooking up in some 5star hotel till the sun comes up, and you taking an Uber home as you call me to tell the deets as I also tell you the deets in my Uber home about some insanely sexy guy I just hooked up with, you wanna tell me he's staring at you." Jill caught her breath.
Sheri looked at Jill like she was crazy. "Girl, I am not about to hook up with the Governor."
"Why not?! He's clearly into you since he's over there trying to pretend to be engaged with his conversation while simultaneously stealing glances your way." Jill chuckles as she stops one of the caterers to grab two champagne glasses.
She hands one to Sheri as a soft chime comes through the loudspeaker followed by a friendly voice telling everyone to report to their assigned table.
The women were pleased to see their table was among the one's up close to the stage, since Sheri will be receiving an award tonight. That also meant that they sat among and around the more reputable people in tonights gala.

Monica Garrett was having an amazing night of schmoozing and rubbing shoulders with some of Parkdale's most elite and rich.
She went to go find her husband after the announcement had been made to have a seat at their assigned table.
When she saw the govenor, she couldn't help but notice how attractive he was, as she saw him looking for her so they could take their seats together.
Mark Garrett scanned the tables to see if he could find the mystery woman who captivated him. He took his eyes off her to schmooze 1.3 million out of a donor and lost track of her.
His wife Monica came into his view, but he quickly moved his gaze to continue scanning the room. When he heard, " I'm over here silly!" His wife giggled as she got closer.
"Wow, babe, you look phenomenal, that dress is amazing on you!" Mark exclaimed. In all honesty, the dress was wearing her, but he could never tell her that.
"It better. It cost $27k!"
"Yikes! Glad to see it also bought me a new wife. Who are you? And how can I get you out that dress? " Mark said as he pulled her closer.
"Oh behave!" Monica giggled
"As much as that dress cost I might just do you in it." He whispered in Monica's ear.
"Mark!" "What's gotten into you? Have you been drinking?" Monica says blanching.
"What I can only want to have sex with my wife if I'm drunk? Oh, wait only for special occasions right?" A look of irritation flashes at his wife's rejection.
Monica looked at him like he had grown an extra head.
"We're not going to do this now." Monica said sternly.
"Calm down. Let's just go find our seats." Mark said with a sigh.
