I really like you too

Sabrina's Pov

When I took his hand I knew I was going to my own slaughter. He firmly helped me off my seat and to the dance floor. The DJ put on the song, Perfect by Ed Sheeran and I cursed why he had to put that on as that was the song we danced to two years ago on our first date. Jake put one hand on my shoulder and the other at the nape of my back and we began to swing to the beat until the distance that was initially between us wasn't there anymore. When we were, only a few inches from each other, he whispered in my ear, " why do you intend to kill me tonight with your beauty?" I played along to his silly banter and replied, " it's a weakness of mine." To which he replied, " I am serious Sabbie, you look extremely beautiful and hot tonight." In a serious tone, I replied, "you clean up nice too."

As others joined into the dance floor, he asked, "You and Dennis, dating?" and I could detect jealousy and fear in his question so I lightly asked, "You and Bimbo, dating?" to which he burst out laughing at calling his date, bimbo. As we changed the rhythm to another song, he said, "I hired her to make you jealous and I badly want to think it worked. Am stupid for doing that but, I want you to want me too, the way I want you." I stumbled on my dance moves at his heartfelt honesty. I also wanted to be honest with him so I replied, "Dennis and I are not dating, I only took him as my date because I didn't think you would show. And I missed you a lot when you were away. I confess that I really like you a lot." When he deciphered what I had just said, his face lit up with the sexiest smile I had ever seen, like he had won the lottery and he held me so close to his masculine chest and he whispered in my ear, "you have no idea how long I have waited to hear you say that. You have made me so happy tonight." Before he could continue any further, the DJ stopped the music and as we separated from each other, he gave me a passionate kiss on the cheek as if to promise that this night wasn't over yet, there was more to come.

As the MC, each part of the program was coming to an end so I called upon Zara, my secretary to give a vote of thanks on behalf of the hotel and Jake and Son's Ltd. That being done, the guests began to leave at their own pleasure except for Paps, Jake, and Bimbo, Dennis, and I. Dennis grabbed my arm to speak privately, I didn't like how his arms felt sweaty and gross on my wrist so I pulled it away. He said, " The night has been great, maybe we could hang out sometime." The way he was sizing me up and down made me really uncomfortable so I told him in the boldest, firmest way possible. "this was nice Dennis but it was only a one-time thing and as for hanging out, that is not on the table." When I was done talking, a bucket load of insults came my way and he was so mad that he was now approaching me in a menacing way so I started moving backward until I hit a wall, sorry a person's chest. Jake's hands went around my waist and he shouted, "The lady said no, be on your way now." Like a reproached child, Dennis left giving me looks that said that this was far from over. I turned around to face him, while still in his arms saying, "Thanks for saving me there, he was beginning to scare me…" before I could finish my statement, Bimbo's shrill annoying voice interrupted our conversation, "Babe, I have been looking all over for you."

In annoyance, Jake replied, "Sandra, your services are no longer needed. And don't you ever come an inch close to me ever again." As I watched the drama unfolding she replied pointing her index finger at us, "My name is Brenda, you are treating me like trash because of this useless thing, this social climber, you will pay for this." Jake was so furious that he shouted, "I said get out!" Brenda left with tears and shame on her face and when she looked at us, I knew this wasn't over. He was going to come back at us with everything she's got.
