Gérard's POV
-what are you doing here Martha, you were not invited. I exploded
-yes I was, Ramos invited me. She opposed with a baby voice
I looked in his direction, he was running away, I'm gonna kill that bastard! Okay Gérard deep breaths, stay zen
(Exhale inhale) - Martha for the thousand times, we're over! after what you did, I don't want you anywhere near me! You're lucky enough I didn't sue you.
-Please Gérard, it was a huge mistake! I'm conscious of that, but I love you and I never stopped loving you, I've made some poor choices because I was vulnerable and broke...
She didn't stop talking and pulling up excuses and trying to lure me in with the same method that worked on me back then when I had feelings for her, but it doesn't affect me anymore, a traitor then a traitor now and I've had it with gold diggers already! I looked over where Shakira was standing and noticed she heading out, (oh fuck that does not look good, she must think I'm a player, alright no swearing keep it calm)
-and I didn't know what to do. Proceeded Martha
-OK cut me some slack Martha, I don't buy any of your bulshit, whatever was between us, it's over and it was all your doing, I freaking trusted you with my belongings, I introduced you to my parents and you brought it down to dust and stabbed me in the back the first chance given. I paused, listen I don't want to make a scene or any bad publicity, you need to move on, whatever you're dealing with, I'm sure you will find another rich boyfriend to take advantage of, so take the little bit of pride left and see your self out!
Her jaw dropped, I could tell she was crushed, but I had to get that out of my system and it will help her move on, hopefully
-now if you'll excuse me, I have a date tonight. I added tending to leave then got back on my steps. Oh and if you don't stay away from me, I will sue you! I threatened giving her a death stare
I rushed to reach Shakira, she was already on my doorstep
-wait! Shakira this is not what it looks like. I grabbed her wrist and turned her to face me, that's when our eyes met again, every time it's like the same spark over and over again
Shakira's POV
-it is not what it looks like. He repeated looking at me deep in the eyes
-Oh so this is prince charming. Interrupted Zack
-Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there.
-Clearly. Grinned Zack
-you must be Zack Vanessa's boyfriend. he handed his hand to shake
-And you must be the infamous Gérard. He shook his hand
He gave me the "so I see you've already gotten the word out about me" I could see he was very flattered and so is his alter ego so I had to step in
-Yeah we were talking about celebrating and your name came out since it's your party. I explained
-oh I see, hi Vanessa, I'm glad you guys could make it. He leaned and kissed her hand, let me get that for you. He pointed to the box Nessa was holding, she gave it to him
-oh yeah and this is a little piece offering, we ordered it last minute, I hope you like it. because I already regret coming to this party I didn't actually say it but come on, I should have
He opened it and looked at it smiling -I love it, I'll open it later and give you a shout out
-no actually I don't think we're staying that long. I blurted out
-what why? His tone changed, you just got here, the night is young, come on now
I regretfully followed him, so did Vanessa and Zack and we made our way into the crowd, it was filled with people how come he knew that many people, the music was loud some were dancing and some making out in the corners, he lead us to what looked like a dance floor and across it was a bar
"well damn the guy does not lack wealth, who even says that, does he live here alone". I thought to myself as I looked around in surprise
-this is your place! Exclaimed Vanessa
-Yeah well I live here with a couple of roommates, we upgraded it so it will match more our lifestyle. He screamed to defeat the loud music ran by a DJ
- your lifestyle huh? I repeated in a mocking tone, you mean your play-boy/pretentious/ boy band wannabe
-No, a mix of some childhood fantasies/TV shows ideas of a perfect appartement+ a modern touch to it, I would consider it more of like bald edgy but cool and classy at the same time, we've put so much work into it to fulfill every deep desire
damn that's deep, he's deeper than I thought
-you guys did a pretty good job. complimented Vanessa
-Yeah it's pretty impressive. claimed Zack
- well thank you, there's more into it there's a theatre, a swimming pool in the back, a golf stand
- and a pole for stripteasers I see. I interrupted mentioning the pole that is centered in the middle of the bar
he laughed - that's Sergio's idea I thought he was joking when he mentioned it and guess what? he wasn't joking, he laughed and then followed him, Zack and Vanessa
I noticed a blond woman approaching us, she was so elegant, knee-length black dress, black high heels, gold belt sinching her small waist, sunglasses with golden reflects on them tucking her shiny, shoulder-length blond hair to the back
- Gérard honey, would you care to join our guests and give them a tour of your apartment, oh hello there. she paused noticing he had company, her big blue eyes shined as her eyes met mine, she then noticed Zack and Vanessa
- Mom this is my friend Shakira that I met at college, we have a class together, she's new to this town, she has moved here from Colombia and those are her friends Zack and Vanessa.
-hi I'm Clarissa Gérard's mom, very nice to meet you, Shakira. I handed her my hand to shake hers
- Colombian girl huh. her eyes sparkled, beautiful young lady. she added giving me a friendly smile
-nice to meet you miss piqué. I smiled back
-please call me Clarissa. she said in a classy tone waving her shiny nice hair to the side
-walk with me dear. she slowly pushed my shoulder to the side ever so slightly to get next to me then started walking next to me and we both started walking away from the group, I looked back at Vanessa she gave me a good luck look, then noticed that Gérard was embarrassed, I could tell his mom was the type of person that gets whatever she wanted whenever she wanted it, regardless what others would think
Gerard's POV
I was surprised how fast my mom stole Shakira away, she never did that when I introduce my friends to her, she either tests them to the point of making them uncomfortable or not acknowledge them at all, Shakira looked back at us in a questioning look, I couldn't help but cringe...
