BIANCA DLAMINI
I excused myself and went to the lavatory.I did my business and washed my hands , next to me were two women talking about Anathi and how attractive she is in the tuxedo she was wearing and how much they wished they were lucky enough to get noticed by her.
It was disgusting and I nearly slapped one of them right on their face.I dried my hands and got out of there before I lost my composure.
I saw Anathi talking to her guests.Our eyes met for the second time this evening and I swear I saw her eyes slowly turn dark or was it my imagination? I bumped into Victor and he grabbed my hand and we went towards Anathi and her guests.They were talking and laughing.Victor introduced us to them.
I shook hands with Anathi and I felt this tingling sensation.She smiled and my knees became weak.
What was going on? I pulled my hand away.The guests that were talking to Anathi excused themselves.
Victor:We have heard a lot of things about you Ms Zulu and I must say it is a pleasure to be in your presence
Anathi:Good things I hope
Victor:off course why wouldn't that be
Anathi:Then the pleasure is all mine , I can assume that you're enjoying our event
Victor:We are very much enjoying your event , it is not everyday you get to meet a self made millionaire
His phone vibrated in his pocket.
Victor:Excuse me I have to take this call...I'll be right back Bianca
He kissed my cheek and went away from us , having her this close got my heart pumping like crazy , my palms sweating.I was intimidated by her for sure and I did not appreciate that.
Her eyes never looked away from me and God her voice? Was just perfect.I could listen to her talk all day.Okay Bianca you like her voice and nothing more it's just a complement.
Me:I did not catch your name
Anathi:I never threw it
Me:That was a good one...I'll give that to you
Really Bianca ? Is that all you could come up with ? Sies
Anathi:Anathi
Me:Huh?
BIANCA DLAMINI
Anathi:Anathi Zulu,I'll take that your mind was elsewhere when I was speaking on the stage because if you had paid attention you would not be asking me that question miss?
Me:Bianca...Bianca Dlamini , I am not very good when it comes to listening for a long period of time
Anathi:I can tell
Me:And I can also tell that you're very rude
Anathi:I am sorry , Did I hurt your feelings?
She sipped on her whiskey.
Me:You did and I do not forgive that easily
Anathi:Oh really ? Then what do I have to do for you to forgive me?
Me:You can go out on a date with me tomorrow
She scratched the back of her neck and laughed nervously.
Me:I have a feeling you're going to reject me...right?
Anathi:No...no...I'd love to go out on a date with you but I have to attend a family emergency after this event
Me:I get it...it's okay
She got close and her cologne invaded my nostrils.I closed my eyes thinking she was going to kiss me but she whispered in my ear.
Anathi:It was nice knowing you Bianca , hope this won't be the last time we see each other , enjoy your rest of the evening
She took my hand and kissed it.Her lips lingering for a few I went back to my seat and drank water.Victor came back after a few minutes of taking a phone call.
Victor:What happened? Aren't y'all going on a date or something?
Me:How did---
He pointed at the listening device he had planted on my dress.It was small and you couldn't see it unless you were close.
Me:Oh that
Victor:At the end of the night I expect to have her worshipping the ground you walk on
Me:The date will happen Victor chill , just not now because she has a family emergency to attend
Victor:It better be that...I saw the way you were looking at her with heart eyes...I don't like it cut it out
He went back to interacting with other guest.The event went on and we were served a three course meal accompanied by wine.The event ended with the founder thanking us for honouring the invite.
