Episode 8

Bethel's Pov:

I sat next to mum in the front seat as she drove into the...

Oh, my God! This is paradise!

She drove into the black gate which had so many securities around and we entered into the Winthorpe mansion.

Oh, my gee! This is more than a mansion. It's incredible.

No wonder the winthrop mansion has been the talk of the city.

The party which was a beanfeast, was taking place outside and mum and I alighted from the car after she parked in the parking lot.

I almost opened my mouth in bemusement as I looked around the mansion. Just the outside was looking this great. I could imagine how the inside would look like. Wow!

"Matilda!" a woman called mum's name and scuttled towards us as we approached the party.

Oh! It was Ryan's mum.

"Becky!" Mum also called and they both hugged each other.

Wow! Ryan's mum was looking so beautiful.

"I'm glad you could make it" she said and took her eyes to me.

"Oh, my! Is this Bethel?"

"Good evening ma'am" I greeted with a light smile.

"Oh, dearie! How re you? She's so beautiful".

"I'm fine ma'am. Thanks"

"Okay Matilda. Come on; my husband's been waiting for you".

"Oh! Of course" mum replied and turned to me.

"Just make yourself comfortable okay? I'll be joining you soon" she said to me and I nodded and she left with Ryan's mum.

Hold on; what discussion does she have with them?

I looked around and started sauntering into the party. I don't even know anyone here. I can't believe mum left me all alone.

The party was buzzing with life as lots of people filled the place -most of which were average men and women.

I walked to a table which was empty and took a seat. There were already drinks on the table and I took a glass of wine to suit myself

By the way, where's the celebrant? Shouldn't he be around or something?

My phone started ringing and I brought it out from my bag and discovered it was Nicole.

"Hey Best" she said on the phone immediately I picked up.

Luckily, the sound of the music playing from the party wasn't too high.

"Hey" I said lowly, sounding tired.

"Oh, my God! You're at the party already right? Have you seen Ryan?" She said excitedly and I scoffed.

"No ma" I replied, itching the back of my neck.

"Awwn. Why? Anyway, don't forget to take pictures okay? Bye" she quickly and ended the call.

Gosh! This girl's really crazy.

I sighed and drank from my glsss again. What a boring party. Well, I guess it's because I don't have anyone to talk to.

I looked around and my eyes met with a group of boys, talking and staring at me.

What ever.

By the way, where could Ryan's step siblings be? Oh! Maybe they didn't care to attend the party, since they're not in good terms.

Or maybe they're here. I don't even know them.

I took my phone and started playing games with it. A waitress passed by with some chocolates and cupcakes and I took some from her.

I ate with relishement and played with my phone and after a while, I felt pressed and needed to make use of the restroom.

I stood up with my bag and looked around. How do I even get to the restroom? Where should I go?

I stopped one of the waitresses and asked.

"Please how do I get to the restroom?"

"Um...you can go to way" she said and pointed to a separate building from the mansion.

I thanked her and followed the lead but when I got there - to the entrance -I saw some guards standing there.

I tried going in, but they stopped me.

'Sorry ma'am, but you can't go in for now" one of them said and I flinched.

Huh?

"Why?" I asked, surprised.

"You can't. If you can wait a little longer" another replied, making me more confused.

Okay; what's going on? Why are they stopping me from going in?

"B...But, I'm so pressed right now. Can you find me an alternative?" I grumbled and immediately, someone I knew came up.

"Hey, Bethel;" he called, surprised.

He was a friend of my mum.

"Good evening, sir" I greeted with a perfunctory smile.

Gosh!

I really need to wee.

"Good evening dear. How're you doing? Uh...what's going on?" He asked and I couldn't tell which to reply first.

"I'm trying to make use of the restroom, but they're not letting me in" I said with a pained look and he looked at the securities.

"Why's that? Is something wrong?" He asked.

"Sir, Ryan's in there and he instructed us not to let anyone in" one of the grumpy men replied.

Wait...hold on;

Did I just hear correctly?

Ryan's in the restroom???

"Oh!" He mouthed and paused.

"Well, she can still make use of it. It isn't like she's gonna bump into the room he's using or something. Just be careful; Bethel; okay?"

W...What?

I...I don't think I can go in.

"He had gone left. So, I think you should go right" one of the guards said, looking at me.

Oh, my God!

They're really letting me in.

I was tempted to say 'I'll wait',

But I was so pressed and needed to wee.

What do I do?

"Come on, Bethel. Or do you wanna wait?' Mum's friend asked and I looked at him, speechless.

Then, I shook my head and started walking in. Oh, God! I suddenly feel so nervous.

Ryan's in here?

What if he sees me?

Like...We get to meet or something?

I kept counting my steps as I walked into the big room which looked like a sitting room and then I got to a passage with a parting.

Hold on; which way did the guard ask me to go out again?

Oh, God! I've forgotten.

I looked left and right and took the left passage.

I walked steadily, looking at the different rooms which lined up.

I tried opening the first one, but it was locked.

I went over to the second one, still locked.

Then, I got to the third one and noticed it was open.

But just when I was about opening it, I suddenly heard strange voices from the fourth room.

Huh?

What's going on there?

I left the third door and walked silently to the fourth.

The voices became clear. Was someone in?

Wait! Could this be the passage Ryan had taken?

I placed my ear on the door and...

Oh, my God!!!

What the hell?

They were...

They were moans...sexual moans.

I could clear hear the lady's voice:

"Oh, Ryan...

Yes

F**k me harder...

Oh, yeah

"Ryan...

Oh..."

I gasped and furrowed my brows in surprise.

Oh, my God! Was this for real?

I shook my head and placed my ear on the door again. I could only hear the lady's voice. Ryan wasn't even moaning.

Oh, my! Was he really there? So the rumours were true? He's really a flirt?

I sighed and stared at the door.

This is so unbelievable.

I can't believe Ryan's actually making out with a lady in the restroom.

I shook my head in bewilderment and went over to the next door which was a bit far from Ryan's.

I got in and quickly sat on the seat, realising all the liquid.

Gosh! This feels so good.

I placed my chin on my palm and reminisced what I just heard. It was still shocking to me.

That was the first time I had been that close to people making out and I just couldn't believe it.

So; the almighty Ryan was having a good time with a lady in the restroom? No wonder he told the guards not to let anyone in.

Geez!

I can't wait to tell Nicole about this.

I wonder who that lady is. She must feel like the luckiest girl on earth right now.

How dumb!

After spending a long time on the toilet seat cogitating, I stood up and looked around for some water, but couldn't find any. I used the one connected to the toilet to flush.

Then, I went out of the room and decided to look around for the washbasin.

I needed to wash my hand.

I glanced at "Ryan's" room and wondered if they were still in there.

I didn't go to check but just went ahead to look for the washbasin.

Luckily, I found one around the corner and I kept my bag on the table and tuned on the water.

There was a big mirror in front of it and as I washed my hands, I looked at myself in the mirror and stupidly smiled.

Crazy.

I looked down at the water and was about turning it off when a thin light shun pass me from the mirror.

What light was that? It seemed to be reflections from jewelries.

I lifted my head to the mirror and I swear, for the first time in my life, I felt my heart skip.

Whaaaaaaat?

R...R...R...Ryan??

Whaaaaat?

I quickly turned in a flash and found him standing and staring at me from a distance. He was leaning against the wall.

His dark eyes bored into mine and that was when I realised the light I had seen was from the pure gold jewelries he was putting on.

Oh, my God!

My throat suddenly went dry. Why am I this nervous?

I'm...I'm standing in front of Ryan Winthorp!

For real?

I was so speechless and didn't even know what to say or do; to move or stand?

"What're you doing here?" He finally asked in a cold voice, staring vacuously.

"I thought I ordered the guards not to let anyone in?"

TBC.

Sorry for the late post

It was because i didn't get my desired engagements.

So I thought nobody loves the story 😔
