The charity gala Pt.2

The night of the charity gala

Mr. Scott and Grandpa were already waiting in the living when Andrew came down. The men decided to have a drink while waiting for Devy. All of them were wearing a custom made suit. Grandpa never wore such an attire and was especially excited to show off with it. They patiently waited for Devy to come down but 10 minutes, then 20, then 30 minutes passed and there was no sign of her. Andrew got inpatient and decided to look for her. He walked to her room and knocked on the door.

"Heyyyy what is taking you so long. Did you strangle yourself in your dress or what?", he shouted.

He heard shuffling and then Devy sighing and grumbling.

"Uhm I'm almoooooost... done... ugh if this... arrrrrrgh okay Andrew help me pleeeeeease.", and then he heard a thump. He came in.

"Okay turn around. I'll zip it up."

She turned around. She could feel his cold hands touching her back.

But he didn't zipped it up.

"Andrew?"

There's silence. Devy tried to turn around to look at him but he stopped her in her motion.

"Don't. Stay as you are." Somehow his voice got lower. While she was contemplating what was happening right now, Andrew put both hands on her waist and hugged her tight.

"You look really beautiful." He whispered barely audible.

"Thanks you look good too."

Devy could feel his breathing near her ear.

What should she do?

Slowly he hugged her tighter, his lips traveling down her neck. She shivered at his touch. The tension became really... really hot.

She tried to step forward to get out but he didn't let her go. He turned her around.

"Hey Andrew what-"

"Shhh... Let's stay like this for a bit. There might be no other chance." Andrew hushed her.

He looked at her. There was something going on. She could tell. There was something he was hiding from her.

Before she knew it his face came closer. He stopped millimeters before her lips.

Devy could feel his breath in front of her. Instinctively she closed her eyes. As soon as she did, she could feel something on her lips. Something really soft. The sensation of lips meeting lips was magical.

Oh my god Andrew is kissing me. Wait! How could this happen?

Before Devy knew it she already kissed him back.

Their kiss lasted for it seems like an eternity. It became more passionate the longer it took. As they both parted to catch their breath, Devy forgot to hold her dress up and it was sliding down and left her in only her underwear. Andrew looked her up and down.

"Heh you shouldn't let other guys see you like this." He smirked and spun her around. "That would be dangerous."

While speaking he leaned forward. This time he finally zipped her dress up.

"So, all done. Let's crash the gala shall we?" With that said he walked out of the room.

What the heck? Just leaving after kissing? What does that mean?

Confused Devy made her way down the stairs to the living room.

When Mr. Scott and Grandpa saw her coming they both stood up and exclaimed praises about her good look.

"Wow our little Devy is so pretty."

"She is like a goddess."

"If I were a few years younger I would totally ask you out." Mr. Scott giggled.

"Hey hey hey not without my permission. She is my little girl." Grandpa butted in.

Both argued about Devanta while she herself tried to talk to Andrew but he gave his best to avoid her. He walked outside to the car.

"We should go otherwise we're going to be late.", he shouted.

All of them followed him out. Because Andrew was driving no one noticed that he was acting strange. Mr. Scott and Grandpa were excited to attend such a big event for the first time for grandpa and since a long time for Mr. Scott. They both supported each other and walked on the red carpet together. Andrew and Devy followed them. Awkwardly he put his arm out for her to hook her arms with his. They walked in lightning peace over the carpet and placed into the hotel were the gala was held.

Inside a lot of people were already happily chatting and dancing.

Andrew looked at her, "I get you a drink." With that he swiftly walked away.

He was acting very strange and especially why did he kissed her when he seemingly regretted it in the next moment. That was something she couldn't understand.

While she was pondering about what to do, someone walked behind her.

She decided to ignore the presence and escape through the crowd. She dugged and tried to reach the other end of the room. But before she could get there a hand grabbed her arm.
