Amirah’s Pov
The drive with Paisley was quiet since she was debuting in Romania she was now probably an ambassador, everyone took different rides to the welcome party they threw for Paisley.
I can’t believe Hunter walked past me with the intention that I no longer exist to him.
‘Isn’t that what you wanted? ‘ my inner thoughts mocked, I just sighed and rolled my eyes, I unglued my face against the window and back at Paisley she was excited they pulled a lot of billboard about her brand or commercial.
Let’s just say she’s famous in Romania.
“I can’t believe this, it’s all happening.” she breathes nervously and almost choked on her breath. “I’m going to be an ambassador.” she squealed. “You are an ambassador airhead.” I commented, she blanchly blinked looking a little bit dumbstruck.
“This is a big deal Amirah, they don’t just make you an ambassador for no reason you have to show that you earn it and I got this, I don’t deserve this.” she brought herself down.
“Oh please you deserve it, you’re smart, you’re pretty and you’re all over the billboards of Romania, you work hard for this.” she lit up again with a smile. “I’m glad I brought you as my escort, you know after this we should really tour this place I bet I could scavage some things free since I’m famous here.” she hummed sheepishly.
“You’re either drunk or the fame has already gone to your head.” Paisley chuckled on my remark taking out her compat.
“I’m all sobered and it hasn’t gotten to my head yet I bet dad and Delilah are going to regret this when my magazines go viral.” she snobbishly checked out her makeup.
“Yeah it’s definitely gotten to your head.” I replied looking back at the window.
We finally got to the welcome party, a red carpet lined to a building probably where the party is being hosted. Our vehicle stopped in front of the red carpet we both alighted from the car. Paisley got down waving at her numerous fans and posed for some pictures while I backed away as she shined in the spotlight.
A few people probably her fellow casts were taking shots together, a black BMW stopped in front of the red carpet, everyone looked in awe as Hunter alighted from the car, I quickly averted my gaze away from him and to the crowd.
He simply just nods his head at whoever dropped him off and walked past me and into the building.
“Amirah come on.” Paisley pulled me in, we took a last picture before we went in the building.
The place was huge it reminds me of all the events I used to go with my parents.
Table were adorned with white cloth and served with probably different options I couldn’t choose from, a set of chairs were drawn under every table.
A few people were weren’t seated yet, they all were chatting with one another, there were a few paintings hanging on the walls of the building, I decided to check them out since Paisley was busy attending to her executive responsibilities.
I stared at a painting for probably 28 minutes, I tilted my head thinking maybe I’ll be less bored of how confusing it was, it was just a blue greenish painting with scribbles on it who ever painted it was probably high on weed.
“You like it? ” I turned to see a young woman, she was wearing a red dress, her blonde hair was neatly band into a bun her makeup was no different from that of a clown, her dress was clearly laced showing off her curves, a vision of her boobs were on display and the slit at the end of her dress was cut up her thigh.
She looked like trouble and I don’t want any of it during my supposed vacation.
I turn back to the painting oddly trying to admire what the fuck is don’t understand in the painting.
“I’m just bored I thought the painting could have killed my boredom, it just killed my will to see.” she chuckled softly at my reply.
“This painting is one of a kind, they are giving it out for the Auction they are holding tonight, I guess you could attend.” she nicely insisted but I can’t help but get the feeling something was wrong.
“I don’t have any money with me.” I stated bluntly, she only smiled at my reply.
“You don’t have to buy, you can just come and probably make friends or probably sell something.” her grin grew wider.
“What could I probably sell? ” I asked as she shrugs shoulders. “Why don’t you come and find out.” she smirked nefariously, I shook my head. “I don’t I think can attend that auction I’m not a fan of watching people sell stupid fortune.” I hissed she only nodded.
“It’s a shame I would love to know you more.” her smirks just creeps me out it’s irritating.
“Sure.. ” I eased shouldering past her, she called me out. “I will love to know you more Amirah.” I froze on my spot I didn’t want to see the stupid look on her face she could sense I was nervous around her. “Stay the fuck away from me.” I didn’t care to know who the fuck she was or how she knew my name, she wasn’t worth my time.
With those words I stride over to Paisley.
“Paisley, I need to go.” I folded my arms waiting for a reply she looked back at me silently finishing her chat with some of her fellow cast. “Are you okay the welcome party hasn’t started yet.” she sighed looking down.
“I’m fine it’s just I’m not that comfortable right now, I have this strange feeling and I don’t like it.” I managed to stress. She held my hands gently squeezes my fingers.
“Please don’t go, you’re my good luck charm and I need someone to make sure I don’t get drunk and do something stupid my reputation to act like an ambassador is on the line.” she muttered guiltriping me. “I hate you.” I whispered over to her as she giggled.
“By the way you didn’t tell me they were having an auction later.” Paisley looked confused at my statement. “What auction? ” she asked.
“That lady just told me about it, she said I should come later today to attend the auction.” I said but Paisley grew more confused.
“What lady? ” she pressed her forehand against my forehead checking my temperature. “you’re not hot, maybe you’re still sick from the plane ride, you are right you need to go.” she stammered worried, I gently pushed her hands down. “Paisley I’m fine and I’m sure of what I saw, she told me there was going to be an auction.” I voiced as Paisley looked more worried.
“I’ll talk to the directors about that you get us some drinks okay? ” I nodded and back a bit to the tables, there were a few attendants handing out some drinks accordingly.
“Two glasses of Champagne please.” I ordered, they handed me my drinks.
“Thank you.” I greeted and turned, Hunter stood in front of me I don’t know why my heart was beating, I froze we stood four feets apart, his stare was emotionless and cold like the first day, I tried not to look into his eyes I sighed and walked past him heading towards Paisley who took her seat and saved mine for me.
The event started, my pulse were level and my palms stopped sweating, I cleaned my palms with the ends of the folds of my dress.
“Are you okay? ” Paisley asked while I nodded paying attention to what ever gibberish they were saying, they called up Paisley to the front and a few of her cast.
She gave a lengthy speech which we all clapped after and put our drinks in the air and then drink.
Paisley came back to her seat grinning taking a sip of her drink, Hunter walked up the stage as a few people clapped for him, I nervously chug down my drink, I looked back at him he was looking at our direction but then took his eyes away.
“I’m pleased to work with miss Paisley and hope the few weeks to come will be enough to get to know each other.” he said after coming down from the stage as the crowd applauded for him.
This is going to be a hell of a weak.
