Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 4

" Knock knock"

" Who is that?"

" It's me Rachel Nessa dear"

Nessa flung the door open.

" What are you doing here? I mean where were you when I was calling out to you yesterday"

"Im sorry Nessa" she pouted clutching to her hands.

" Fine. Get your annoying ass in here" 

" Oh thank you" Rachel face lit in excitement 

" I'm so sorry about your dad. Im also sorry for not making it yesterday. I had work?"

" Work or one of those your sexual adventures"

" They are both work. How's your Dad?

" He'll be fine. He's in a coma "

"Awww cheer up sweetie. I know what to cheer you up. Some whisky "

" No I don't want alcohol. I've had a lot of it yesterday "

" Oh my word. You got drunk last night?"

" Trust me you don't want to know what happened "

"Huh . Don't be silly tell me."

" I had sex with a stranger. "

" Huh. You did what?"

"Come on Nessa. You know how risky this is. "

" Well I know but we were both drunk and thenn"

" Okay how was it?"

" I was drunk Rachael. Drunk!!"

" Okay do you know who he is?"

" His name is Mason Yang "

Rachael covered her mouth.

" What is wrong with you?. You are too dramatic."

" I am not. Wait you had sex with Mason Yang?"

" Yes and you are making me uncomfortable "

" If you know who he is. You won't be this calm. He's one of the most popular model and a very good business man. "

" What?"

" Yeah. He doesn't stay here in beville county. But he's sure one of the richest men in orange county."

" How come I never knew "

" You wouldnt know such things. You are too buried in boring things "

" Haha. So sweet of you . I can't do this. This is a whole lot to take in. He's accompanying me for shopping this evening "

"Aww. Sad I can't come?"

" Wait what? I thought we were going for the shopping "

"Uhh I'm going out . So sorry I won't make it. There's this hot guy I'll be meeting "

" What are you girl?."

"I have to go now. Bye love you "

" What just happened " 

 "What am I going to wear urgghhhh. It's almost 4pm" 

Nessa groaned pacing round her bedroom. 

She had taken out all the cloth in her wardrobe and couldn't find anything to wear 

" These gowns aren't my size anymore"

"I guess I should cancel. With that I can wear something casual to the mall. 

She realized she didn't even have Mason's number .She thought of ghosting him. 

Her phone buzzed. It was a message 

 "Hey Nessa, it's Mason. I would be a bit late. Im glad you accepted me to accompany you. Love, Mason. " 

This time her whole face turned red. She rolled continuously on the bed. She didn't have to bother what to wear. She added a little "makeup and styled her hair. She wore blue pants and a pink crop top. 

 Knock knock.

" I'm coming" she ran downstairs.

Taking a long breath she opened the door. Words couldn't express the sight in front of her. Her mouth was left agape. He was dressed in a blue baggy pants and a body hug long sleeve shirt. It showed his toned muscled arms and biceps too. Some of his hair covered part of his eyes leaving his piercing brown eyes. She felt she could kiss his soft pink lips. He was so handsome she couldn't blink an eye. He wasn't as handsome as this earlier that morning. 

" It seems someone is lost " He said in the softest of voice ever. 

She couldn't steal mutter a word

 " cat cut your tongue?" 

" Oh my word! How long have I been staring" she shly turned her face away. 

He held her chin and brought it closer to his face 

" sometimes a little compliment here and there wouldn't hurt" she thought he was going to kiss her.

 She curled her toes in her shoes. Wasn't she meant to be angry about what happened earlier today,? 

" Shall we?". Mason laughed at her naivity and childish behavior. He had to reduce his charms a bit . It looked she would burst out in cry or something. Her face had gotten redder than it used to. " Shall we then"

He took her hand in his leading her to where he parked his car. "Something is different" Nessa spoke out loudly when they got to where Mason parked his car. 

" Ahah. It didn't take you a minute to notice my car". 

Yes it was his car. It was more beautiful and luxurious than the car he dropped her off with in the morning. It was a Bentley Bentayaga. How many cars did he have then. Racheal was right. He is a rich man. 

The Mason of the evenin g was classy and seemed very rich.

"Cute and beautiful women look ugly when they freeze and think "

 " who says I'm ugly?" She snapped. 

" I never said you were thinking in the first place" he smirked. 

" So my Lady were did you plan on going for shopping" 

" it's June's Clothing house" 

"Is that a clothing house or a place for selling cheap and worn clothes?" Nessa flared up. 

How could he talk down about a place she got her clothes from. They were cheap and used but they had good clothes too. 

" Anyways it has good clothes and I'm going there!" 

" Too bad I'm not letting you go there. Have you heard of Louise's, pleni chant, marksves?" Nessa folded her arms pouting like a baby. 

" I've heard of those places before. I've never been there before. It's for the high class and a bit of the middle class. My feet is not worthy to be in there. One dress from there can foot half of my bills" she laughed.

 " What if I took you there princess " she let out another round of laughter. " You? Take me there why?" She paused in her laughter when she saw Mason wasn't laughing. His face was as straight as an angle.

 " You aren't joking? Are we really going there?" He nodded. " I was going to get a handful of clothes from June's shop. Taking me to those big big fashion houses means I'll have to pick little" she lowered her head. " Who said that. Shop like you were shopping from June's place hmmm. " " Hmm. Are you doing this so I'll not still get mad at what happened today?". " I am sincerely sorry for what happened. This is just my way of saying sorry. We'll go to pleni chant. They have the finest of female dresses of different ages." He rubbed her head.

 Pleni chant, a mighty fashion house for the upper class of the Bienville county. The cars parked at the parking lot spoke of luxury and wealth. Nessa tugged at Mason's arm when she got into the house. It's interior design was out of what she had envisaged. The blend of different colors of light;bright and dull alike. The people who walked around spoke of elegance and class. They chatted and laughed in little tones. She looked shabby. She felt embarrassed and lowered her head.

 " What's wrong? " Mason asked. He noticed her cheerful countenance changed. " Come let's go get you a dress." He took her to the female section. It seemed he visited the place often. " Nessa picked a black short gown from the line of clothes. She left to the changing room. Mason pressed his phone while waiting for Nessa. He had been very busy with work from his company lately. That's why he didn't get the chance to visit his parents at Bienville county. Mason Decks was a billionaire too in Orange county. Though he wasn't as rich as Blake but he owned several mansions, cars and a few companies. He felt a pair of soft warm hands on his shoulders 

" Hey . How do I look" she made a twirl for him. Mason felt his heart jump out of his chest. He was the one in search of words this time. Her long toned legs were visible under the short dress. Her beautiful broad shoulder was a sight to behold. Her brown piercy eyes, her auburn hair, her cute and long face. She was a true star of the night.

 " I guess someone is awestruck today" she blushed. " You you look beautiful. So beautiful. The true star of the night. My princess" he bowed slightly. Nessa's face turned red again. 

 The two hearts filled their evenings with laughter, teasing and flirting. After the shopping they went to Mason's hotel. It was the only business he had in Bienville county. It was a nice cozy restaurant.

" So how did you know my mom. How did you get to the party?"

" I knew your mother from the hospital. Ever since my dad got admitted for a while. She has been the one taking care of him. And she takes care of him more than a nurse will."

" That's sweet "

" We'll she's a nice person. She keeps supporting and pushing each time I felt like giving up. So yeah she's a good woman "

" Did she invite you for the homecoming "

" Not the way you put it. My dad relapsed into a coma yesterday. So I was devastated and she asked me to come over."

" Hmmm I see. I guess you enjoyed the party. That's why you had a lot to drink "

" The party was like a break from the real world, from my pains. I mean I didn't know when I had a lot to drink "

" I was drunk too. My good old friends made me drink"

" It's late already. I need to go"

 With her little her hand in his he walked her to her doorstep. 

"Thanks for today . Youve made my first stay at Bienville worth it. You also showed me that Bienville has more beautiful things than I expected" he winked and she blushed

. " Thank you too. It's been a while I've had this much fun". He moved closer to her ears and whispered " I would love to do this again the next time I come." His calm masculine voice sending chills down Nessa's spine. 

He pulled her by the waist in a deep hug landing a kiss on her forehead. 

" Goodnight princess" 

" Goodnight"
