One night stand

Sometimes bad could lead to worst . Only heavens knew the excruciating pain she was feeling at the moment. Her heart was in turmoil that she couldn't hear the beautician styling her short hair into a bob or stretching the hair to her jaws . All these facts were sudden as she heard" done. You're good to go" the beautician said proudly giving her space to check it out.

Kate faltered wondering if she was that broken. Her mood wasn't helping as she stood up paying for her bill.

" Thanks" it hurt the beautician's ego but Kate was out of there already.

She didn't want to dress up but Naomi had convinced her to look her best.

She looked at her silver glittering gown which was resting on her knees exposing some skin at her back. She tried adjusting it further but it didn't work. She grumbled hailing a taxi, opened her iPad for reviews .

The taxi stopped in an exclusive hotel which had her wondering what kind of client was she meeting as a personnel manager. She alighted checking her cellphone but no calls came through or rather his call.

Taking a last look at the building, she sighed paying the Uber driver then walked in . A waiter directed her to a table taking her orders .

" I'll like a glass of milk please and a steak for now" the waiter scrambled it down leaving while another waiter stopped by dropping a bottle of expensive wine and a plate of chicken and chips. She looked up stunned about to speak when the waiter spoke

" Courtesy of the gentleman at the private box " he continued arranging the table then opened the bottle of wine pouring her some then turned to leave

" I didn't order for this and I don't know him . Please kindly return it to him " she said politely pushing them forward. If she wasn't mistaken that's how she met Alvin and now he's a pain in the ass. She furrowed her brow recalling his assault.

Without arguing the waiter cleared the table hoping he won't become a third party all of a sudden.

Meanwhile , it has been almost an hour and she was done with the meal yet the client was no where to be found. She called the company and found out he rescheduled. She shrugged her shoulder eager to rip the tight dress off .

She walked to the bar , drawing a stool to sit . She might as well take advantage of the situation to get wasted.

" I thought you don't take alcohol. To think you rejected me .kind of hurt you know" a voiced echoed as she looked up stunned thinking it was Alvin. She blinked. It wasn't him . He had an Italian accent and the goofie eyes . Handsome men are dangerous she sneered ignoring him .

"Let me guess. Someone broke your fragile heart and you think all men are the same. Did you catch him red-handed cheating on you? He smirked sipping his drink . He knew he was right as her hands on the cup tightened

" I want to be alone. I don't recall inviting you over " she said rudely . There was a ring on her ring finger. Can't he see it? She thought asking for another shot but the man short the bartender a glare which he obeyed retreating to another corner.

" So tell me about it. Who is the bastard that hurt a beauty like yourself? Oh no. The handsome type right? Don't be surprised. I could tell with the way you checked me out halfway and sneered " his Italian accent made her listen seeming compelled by how he could read her that fast

" So tell me. Is he as good-looking as I am or he's better? She giggled shaking her head rolling her eyes

" That hurts . How about I lighten your mood. A handsome man hurt you let a charming one make up for it" he said stretching his hands for hers.

Perhaps it was the way he spoke or she wanted to have fun with a man who was interested in her . Maybe it was the drink speaking which she doubted cos she has worked in a bar before and she can hold her liquor.

With his hands still suspended in the air , she took his six foot nine in view . He had an emerald like peering eyes staring lovingly at her . His sleek brow hair permed and styles like a real Italian man . If Alvin wasn't seven feet tall she would have thought his height was intimidating. His bulging muscles complimented his perfect physiques.

" Are you coming? He asked . It's been like forever and his suspended hand was hurting not that he minded her gawking

She blinked in embarrassment taking his hands not before finishing her drinks.

The man took her to the live club downstairs watching her dance to the music laughing and smiling.

He drew her closer wrapping his hands around her waist caressing her hair slowly which evened her breath

" You look lovely when you smile . You should smile often" he commented running his hands on her exposed back .

Kate locked gaze with him looking for something to hold onto but she saw none at the moment. His assault anchored her thinking. She recalled him kissing Melody in her presence. Bringing her home anytime he visits.

" Thanks' she muttered as he smiled twirling her around taking her to another part of the club . Then her phone started to ring .she didn't hear it ring as she was having fun picking cards for him while he played the game of poker.

He did karaoke. She was charmed by the Italian song he sang clapping as he climbed smiling.

" Do you know what it meant? He asked as she nods eager to hear it

" It means you are" he paused leaning slowly towards her staring at her lips.

Kate watched as his face were inches closer . She didn't stop him but slowly removed her wedding ring dropping it in her bag welcoming the fervour.

" Lovely and beautiful. I feel pity for the bastard that hurt you" he finished smashing his lips on hers ravishing her mouth while moving away from the crowd.

Kate returned the favour running her hands through his hair as they kissed like their lives depended on it . She moaned into the kiss as he withdrew from it staring at her lustfully.

" What's your name? He asked panting waiting for her response but it never came. she resumed kissing him . They moved slowly getting to a locked door as he swiped his card through opening the door.
