Axel Lopez

 The glamorous interiors reminds me of the split rainbow I had seen earlier, at the Andean festival,  the facade of the building wrecks ‘ I am fuckin rich, you can't really do anything  about it’, while the scent of people around me gives a ‘yes I can afford all I want’.

    Glamorous ladies dressed in long silk gowns, with expensive furs caressing their tender necks ,  all sipping gently from their flutes while chatting endlessly with each other, there I was all alone with a cup of white wine held between my wet fingers. 

    Never felt this out of place, not even when dressed in a cut out dress, in a pj party, gulping down my third flute of wine , my eyes dart around for three things, a new drink, a waiter, and anna, who invites a guest to a housewarming party and leaves them at the mercy of no one actually as every seems to have a pair.

   Staring at my phone, twenty minutes had  never felt longer than it should, maybe if I take more drink, I would spend more time, trying not to look high than actually eavesdropping on conversation, standing up from the extra comfy sofa, I search around for some white collared dresses, and if I must say, they are hard to actually see , in the rainbow like room.

   Moving further, I get a slight sight of a tray, holding up drinks, damn, taking fast paces through the crowd, for this oblivious waiter, holding my liberation  with just one hand, I slam on something hard, making my trip to the floor.

   ‘’Hey’’

     Firm hands wrapped around my waist, as I saw my body almost making a whole body plant with the marble floor, that was too sudden, the sound of murmurs pulled me back to reality.

 I almost fell!!

      jolting from the strangers embrace I get to my feet, "uhm hey”  I said dusting my clothes  obviously stupid, there's no dust in here not even a speck.

    " Be careful next time," he said. 

   My eyes darts at the strangers before me, dressed in a t-shirt, a  loose Jean trouser , nothing to wear in an  occasion  like this, my eyes trails up his body, as I marvels as his physique, his biceps shows slightly underneath his wool t-shirt,my eyes dart around his face, as he beams at me.

  

     His hairs falls haphazardly on his face, giving a sex Tom cruise look, I know that face, no one rocks this look more than Axel, the pressure burn mildly on my chem as it comes to ny realization I am holding hands with the famous Axel lopez, the hot sauce, breathtaking, sexy ass Axel lopez!!!.

   " axel" he said, as he pulls my hands in his, then lifting it up his lips, placing a kiss, gently on it, his warm gesture makes my heart flutter as my eyes glued on his face, my dazed brain remain frozen, thinking of when next I would get graced with such courtesy, or how I got graced with such courtesy .

     

    " rose… rosalie garcia" I said,  hiding a  blush, his thumbs caresses my palm gently, "rose, what a name to remember" he said, in a soothing voices, that makes  my belly knot  nervously, my overly stretched face, gives me away, as I literally melt underneath his intense gaze, " rose, I hope to see you after this house warming" he said , still caressing my palm.

   I could kick my brains out of my skull lf I  reject this offer, " Sure axel" I said, in a whispers, as my voice seems to leave with  My courage, " I will find you" he said, as he lets my hands fall gently,  “ in a hurry rose,I have had my fill for luck this  very evening" he said, as she scratched  the back of his head.

   His sweet words, hits differently, now I can't help but ask, is it me, or just the drinks, acting up, "sure", I said, once more, in an inaudible whispers, as I watch him fade into the crowd, our eyes not leaving each other, till he fades far from eye reach, 

  Wait who?

   Finally came back to reality  as I searched for him. He was  actually standing before me,  there!  He was  staring at me from the crowd, our eyes met and for a second, time seemed to stop,  he stood with a glass in his hands and the other in his pocket as he stared blankly at me.

  Asher? 

    " hey Anna!, there you are" 

  

        A slight tug on my shoulder pulls me back to reality, but just then the image before me disappears, he was just there right?, looking  back, I don't see him anymore. " What are you looking at?" She said , smiling at me.

“ uhm nothing” I lied.

  " Hey there are many things to see, come let me show you to my parents" she said, looking behind me, I had just seen him there right, his cold eyes flashing in my mind, sending flames down my legs, he was still in the mood from earlier.

   I shouldn't be here,  the slight tug comes to ahalt, as anna leaves my hands, a couple holding hands approach, holding hands with each  other, as they both stare at Anna, then at me. 

    " Well mom, dad, this is Rose, Asher’s  new assistant, I told you about '' she said, the older lady beams at me, she had her blonde hair in low cut, suiting her round cleft chin, her lips part gently, as she said “ welcome darling, you look gorgeous” stew thing her arms wide open for a hug I wouldn’t dare miss. 

  Pulling myself from her warm embrace, i see her husband stretching his hands for a shake, looking at him, I know where Asher got his dark hair from, sir lopez had a white suit on, and for weird reasons all I think of us Asher in an aged form, they are so identical.

     " Good evening sir" I said looking, taking his hands  " nice meeting you rose" he said, passing a smile as he surveyed the room.

    " Well you are right on time, I was just about to start," Miss Lopez said, raising her glass up, , " after this, we would be having a family dinner. Do you mind joining ? " She said, looking back at my watch, what’s the worst that can happen, that would be an honor to dine with the famous Lopez .

   " you would see the whole family rose" anna said, her enthusiasm, makes it hard to actually turn  it down, " Sure, looking forward to that" I said, as I passed a smile back at her, she beams back at me, then stares at her phone, " mom she's here, Lemmi pick her up" she said, as she walks out on us.

   " oh rose dear, have a nice time, I would be back" miss lopez said, as she placed kisses on my cheek, she’s so sweet I had gotten fond of her, “ bye dear” mr lopez said shaking me again , “ see you on the table “ he added as they both walked out, now left in the glamorous  party ones more, my eyes dart around for nothing in particular, maybe just one more cup of white wine, what could possibly go right this time.?
