Chapter 22
.
Sophie fell asleep with a smile on her face for the first time in her life. At least he wants her as much as she does and that is enough for now. She goes straight to the dream Land before the knock from her roommate wakes her up as early as 6:30 am. She almost swore at the disruption of her beauty sleep. She was supposed to look her best today but her roommate is trying to make her appear at the event with bags under her eyes. She took a big t-shirt and wore it because she slept naked and she is not planning to give her dorm mates a show.
” I’m so sorry for waking you up Sophie, I forgot my keys. Good morning” Kayla said immediately Sophie opened the door for her. Even with her half-closed eyes, she could tell her roommate was coming from a one-night stand experience. She could see smeared mascara under her eyes and her wild hair is looking like a wild sex night her holding her heels while walking barefoot didn’t help the image.
” Good morning. I can see you had a wonderful night.” Sophie muttered while closing the door behind her roommate who is already strewing her property across the room nonchalantly. Kayla bounced on her bed letting out a deep sigh.
” Trust me I did. It was the history guy” Kayla said with a dreamy voice and whatever sleep left in Sophie’s eyes disappeared.
” I thought you said he had a girlfriend?” Sophie asked taking a seat opposite her roommate.
” They had issues and he asked to hang out with me in the evening” Kayla explained.
” So he is trying to use you for his comfort? Because he had issues with his girl?” Sophie asked still in the dark about the entire thing.
” No Fifi, it was a trade by barter,” Kayla said still musing on her friend’s innocence.
” I don’t understand”
” I gave him a shoulder to cry on while he gave me a dick to ride on. It’s been a while since I got some and to tell you the truth? The sex was great” Kayla cooed while Sophie shook her head at the too much information.
” I don’t need to know about your oh-so-great sex life. Let me go back to my sleep” Sophie muttered lying on her bed.
” I’m not the one preventing you from having one” Kayla snickered while Sophie got defensive.
” Kay, I have a sugar daddy. Not the stereotypical one but a literal Greek god like my sugar daddy” Sophie said proudly successfully passing the message to her roommate.
” Whose ex-wife ruined your first fun together?” Kayla rolled her eyes and Sophie held her chest in mock pain.
” ouch, that hurts. You don’t have to remind me of that incident anyway I have an event with him tonight” Sophie said and Kayla stood up so fast it almost scared Sophie how creepy her roommate looked.
” Oh my God you scared me!”
” Did I just hear an event? That sounds like you are going on a date! With a billionaire? Girl I’m jealous. What are you wearing? Any plans for your make-up? Hair? When is the event? Can I start doing your hair?” Kayla was bombarded with many questions that she couldn’t answer given how fast she was speaking.
” Whoah Calm down there. The event is in the evening I need my sleep” Sophie said holding her hand in front of her to stop Kayla from getting too excited.
” Okay then. What are you wearing? And what type of event is it?” Kayla asked again.
” He sent me a dress already. It is a Charity event strictly by invitation” Sophie said.
” Damn! You are so lucky! Well, I guess you deserved it given it’s finally your first time at something like this. I’m giving you just two hours to sleep so we can get you ready quickly” Kayla proclaimed and Sophie smiled amusingly. Leave her roommate to be a mother bird when it comes to dressing up.
” I need a much better sleep than that” she argued.
” You need to look your best tonight” Kayla deadpanned making Sophie roll her eyes. She slipped under her cover again allowing the lost sleep to come back.
Kayla’s scream woke her up once again, apparently they both slept for more than three hours and her roommate was getting paranoid as if she was the one going to the ball. She rushed Sophie to the bathroom and locked her up giving her a time limit to take her bath.
Finally spotting Sophie’s new nails, Kayla cooed at how gorgeous they are, teasing Sophie for having a sugar daddy again.
Kayla brought out the dress and selected the most suitable underwear out of the one Chris bought for her. When Sophie was done with her bath, Kayla already lay all her equipment on their vanity table. She blow dry her hair and combed it out before styling it to a bouncing curl. Using a set of pins, she packed the front into a high ponytail leaving the back hair flowing down her back.
She then began her makeup, making her eyes bold with a pair of fake lashes and smokey eyeshadow that complimented her black dress she gave her a bold red lipstick to bring out the sexy look more.
She helped Sophie dress up taking a few pictures of her in the outfit. She made her twirl around like a princess while making a video on her phone. Damn! Men are so going to have a hard time taking their eyes off Sophie that night. Kayla could imagine Chris burying men alive with his eyes but who cares? All she cares about is making her friend damn irresistible.
” You look so beautiful,” Kayla said for the umpteenth time making Sophie smile at her.
” All thanks to you, what would I do without you, Kay? Thank you so much” she said getting teary-eyed and hugging her friend tightly.
” that’s enough. You’ll ruin your make up” Kayla said dabbing the corner of Sophie’s eyes with a tissue so the tear won’t ruin her work. The driver arrived minutes later. Sophie bade her roommate goodbye after a series of thanks.
They arrived at the venue fifteen minutes later, it was to hold at the banquet hall. Sophie had to duck to avoid the flashes of cameras aimed at the guests and she managed to avoid them since no one knew who she was. But every guest couldn’t help but wonder who the stunning beauty in black was. After tending her invitation, she was led inside by an usher. Her jaw almost dropped at the exquisite decorations inside the hall.
She thought the event was a charity one, why was it looking as if people are having a sort of ball there? People were dressed in one expensive tailored clothes or the other so she didn’t stick out that much. The only thing that slightly bothered her was the full attention the make folks in the room directed at her. She look around searching for the familiar face of Chris and she located him at a table nearby with Liam, looking at her with an awestruck Expression. She strutted to the table the tightness of the dress around her hips making them sway from side to side, bringing out the shape of that ass Chris mentioned he loved on her body.
” Damn Chris! You lucky bastard!” Liam exclaimed beside Chris after seeing Sophie while Chris was still busy eyeing the goddess in front of him.
” Hello Chris, Hi Liam” Sophie greeted and it took Chris a jab to his side courtesy of Liam for him to finally regain his senses.
” Welcome beautiful,” He said spreading his arms for a hug which she give in almost instantly. She won’t lie, her breath hitches in her throat when she saw him for the first time that night looking so dapper in his dark suit and his hair combed back exposing his entire handsome features to the world.
” You look so ravishing I could take you here” He whispered in her ears and she blushed a bright red are his comments. He finally let go of her still after getting a generous amount of her perfume on his body.
” You remember Liam? At the party?” he asked her placing his hand on her waist and gesturing at his friend.
” How can I forget the person that served me my first alcohol?” she said jokingly and Liam let out an awkward laugh. He certainly doesn’t remember ever giving her alcohol that night.
” I believe I haven’t introduced myself to you properly. I’m Liam Kingston, best friend of this idiot since diapers” Liam said flashing his goofy smile at her. She could remember how playful he was that night but something seems off about him tonight.
” Nice to meet you Liam, I’m Sophie Harris Chris’s…” She doesn’t how to complete that sentence but Chris came to her rescue instantly.
” Girlfriend,” he said and she turn to look at him in shock. Girlfriend? Nice.
” Wow Chrissy, you didn’t even tell your best friend you made it official already. Lucky you” Liam said with a mock painful voice. While the trio made jokes among each other, someone cleared their throat behind them.
