Watching the eye catching men walk in majestically into the ball room with their masks on, the ladies at the party couldnt help drooling...
Even with mask on, one could easily make out Davin in the midst of those godlike men..
His aura was powerful and unmistakable, he always stood out anywhere he was and it was no different tonight...
Him and his entourage made their way to the high table to greet the celebrants, his parent.
"Sorry am late" he said in his ever sexy husky voice before giving his mum a kiss on the cheek...."happy marriage anniversary mum and dad"..
"Thank you my Darling boy" she said smiling contently..
Coming around he bowed his head curtly towards his dad, a show of respect and reverence...
No matter how big he was, he would always accord all his success in life to all the life lessons his parents, especially his dad had thought him growing up...
Looking at his robust son Mr banks frowned, he sometimes blamed himself for how strict he thought his son, now he had developed into a stoic and unapproachable man, knowing only figures and numbers...he often wondered how he will get a grandchild in this life if his son decides no lady is good enough for him..
Sighing he draw his son into a bear hug, which took Davin by surprise..
Not that he doesn't get physical with his dad but, he had never done it in public..
"Come here boy..." he said hugging his son..
"Am afraid if you continue acting so prim and proper no woman would like to marry you...ease up and relax" Mr banks chided his son whilst patting him on the back..
Davin frowned upon hearing this...
'Only my dad would be blind to see how ladies ogle and practical drool when I walk pass' davin reasoned in his mind before disentangling from the hug...
Seeing the unity, love and respect between the banks family, the guest present couldn't help but smile...
Few minutes into the party, the ballroom was already filled with different big shots and celebrities giving their well wishes and congratulating Mr and Mrs banks on their silver jubilee celebration whilst handing their gifts...
"I haven't seen your friend Kathryn" William whispered to kim who was busy on her phone by herself...
Just when kim was about to answer, a commotion at the door took her attention, both like everyone else looked at the entrance only to see two beauties escorted by two outrageously handsome men at both sides...
Her eyes trailed to the one wearing a white fitted tuxedo, with a diamond encrusted black shoe and a golden masquerade mask....he looked unearthly....she couldnt help blushing, which didn't go unnoticed by her mum.
Moving her eyes to the two beauties beside him, she could feel a sense of familiarity with them...especially with the one wearing a red birdlike feathery masquerade mask, the aura she exuded was domineering and fierce yet looked cool and laid back..only one person she knows has this much personality....
'Lets see' she thought and smiled knowingly...
Davin on the other hand curved his lips slightly as he watched the four guest March towards them, with his eyes not leaving kathryn...like a hawk he watched her every step..
Walking towards the banks, kathryn could feel the eyes of everyone on her which was unavoidable given how mesmerizing she looked but there was a pair of eyes that kept boring into her, she could feel it and just when she raised her head and looked ahead she caught sight of a familiar gorgeous green eyes behind a black diamond encrusted feathery mask that made him look more manly and ridiculously sexy...
Her heart skipped a beat and for some reasons she had goosebumps all over her body..she cussed her heart for acting up again..
The guest, especially the women couldn't contain their excitement as the men walked by, while the men drooled shamelessly when kathryn and rebecca passed by...
One could mistake them for runway models with the way they strode elegantly towards the the banks..
"Happy marriage anniversary Mr and Mrs banks" kathryn greeted handing them the gift they came with.
On hearing the familiar voice, kim smiled brightly at her..
"I wouldn't be your friend if I couldn't recognize you even with a mask on" Kimberley said as she walked towards them smiling brightly...
The three ladies shared a heartwarming hug,something that was a pleasant surprise to the guest in the room..
"I wouldn't fault you even if you couldn't recognize me I mean isn't that the essence of wearing the mask, to be unrecognized ?" kathryn asked, turning to Author she introduced "this is my brother Author, you might have met him before"
Arthur offered his hand for a handshake..
"I would know if I did, no body can forget those eyes behind that mask" kim said smiling.
Her words took Arthur Arthur suprised that he couldnt help blushing...
"how cute" she said softly when she saw the dimple on the sides of his face.
Kelvin almost spilled the wine he was sipping when he heard her sister shamelessly flirting for the first time ever.
"Whoever you are, what have you done with my sister?" he asked unknowingly, causing Kimberley and even the banks to burst into a fit of laughter..
All this while, Davin just stood and watched with his hands tucked away inside his pant pocket with zero expression on his face.
"Don't be silly kel" she said before turning her attention to her parents..
"Mum, dad meet kathryn and rebecca , you guys meet my parents, my brother Kelvin and my other brother Davin and cousin Williams" Kimberley said introducing each of them..
"Nice to meet you Mr and Mrs banks and thank you for the invitation...we are truly honoured" kathryn said gracefully..
"We have heard such wonderful things about you from our daughter Kimberley and of cause Star corporation are rightly invited" Mr Alexander Banks said shaking hands with Kathryn..
The matriarch of the banks, Madame Genevieve walked close to kathryn with only few inches between them..
She smiled before gathering kathryn into a warm hug, something that took Kathryn by surprise and surprised everyone...
Kathryn couldn't react fast to return the hug before Madame Genevieve freed her..
With smiles on her face she said...
"Well thank you for honoring the invitation and being friends with my daughter kim...you are exactly what she needed" she smiled once more before leaving with her husband to attend to other guest..
Kathryn pondered on the last statement for awhile before shoving the thoughts at the back of her mind....
"Hi, am Kelvin nice to meet you" Kelvin said shaking hands with them one after the other..getting to rebecca he lingered a bit before letting go of her hand. A move that didn't go unnoticed by Kathryn and Arthur..
"Hi, William here..nice to meet you" he said not moving his eyes away from Kathryn's face...she felt uncomfortable with the constant stare even if he was such a good looking man...
"Save a dance for me please, will you" William said giving his enchanting smile that made every women drool in awe..
She was surprised with the request and because he was Kim's family she accepted.
"Sure" she said..
"Dav come over and say hi" kim said..
Sighing he strode towards them in small strides...
"Welcome to the party, hope you have a good time, now if you will excuse me" he said indifferently as though he didn't want to be there and left without saying another word or even looked at kathryn....
No one saw anything wrong with what just happened except kim and Kelvin, they knew when their brother was pissed even when he doesn't look the part or say it....now they wondered what and why he would be pissed all of a sudden.
Kathryn meanwhile felt his action just now was kinda off and doesn't look anything as how he looked at her just a moment ago ..
'Maybe I am thinking too much' she thought..
