Chapter 5

"Get dressed, we're going out." Cameron walks into the room, he doesn't spare me a glance and starts stripping out of his clothes, the sight is so marvellous that I even drool although I have seen him naked countless of times. "Why are you still seated?" He suddenly paused and faced me with a glare.

I sober up on the spot, "I'm sorry, I'll do that now.. wait.. what should I wear?"

"Just don't dress like a maid." 

I don't know what that means but I head for the closet to put together whatever I can find. I pick out a white dress I'm a hurry, it is barely above my knees with an audacious split in the middle.

"What's taking so-" he stops half way when I step into the room, his gaze sweeps me over in a split second, his expression tells me all I need to know but still I would like to hear directly from him.

"How do I look?" I question hoping to get a compliment. 

He breaks eye contact coughing, "not bad."

"Yeah, sure." I murmur. 

We took off in his car, he did not bother to let me know where he was taking me and I didn't ask, the whole ride was an awkward silence. He arrived at a fancy building, drove in and parked in a corner. 

"Get out." He spat as the car engine died off. I wasted no time in kicking the door open, a warm breeze engulfed me. While I was busy getting lost in moment I saw Cameron walk away in the other direction and I ran after him.

"Wait up!" I yelled but he didn't slow down. He got past the security without a hitch but when it got to my turn they held me back.

"Who are you miss?" The short one questioned eyeing me like I was a nobody. 

"We're together!" I screamed at the top of my voice. 

The security man did not appear to believe and wanted to probe further when a voice made him halt.

"Aren't you Cameron's new bride?" A woman dressed in red emerged from behind. The security guards immediately stepped aside looking apologetic. 

"I'm sorry but do I know you?"

She smiled sweetly, "my name is Becky and I was Cameron's previous situationship." Her hand was out for me to grab but I remained frozen in my spot, completely bewildered at her audacity. 

Becky took my hand pulling me with her, "let's just go in then." 

Loud music clouded my hearing as we trailed into the room, different people were scattered in every corner with the lights spinning red, I looked around in search of Cameron but much to my disappointment I could not find him.

"Over there." She pointed and I trailed my eyes in the direction of her fingers. Cameron could be seen standing next to a gorgeous woman, her body alone was fire. Only a side view of her face is revealed but it's enough to make me question my entire worth.

Becky drew closer and for some reason I did not mind at all eager to hear about this mystery woman, "her name is Helen, she's the daughter of the vice president and the only woman Cameron has ever dated in public, they were going to get married two years ago but suddenly called it off no one knows why."

A pang of jealousy hit me as I watched her punch his chest while giggling, Cameron also laughed with her. I wonder what's so funny. "Wait, why are you telling me this?" I was grateful for the information but smelled a rat.

"Because I feel like you might want to know." She shrugged, "even though your marriage is fake it must hurt to see him with another woman like that right?"

Wait- "how do you know our marriage is a fake?" Did Cameron tell her?

"Oh hunny." She laughed, "any woman who has been in his bed knows that Cameron is not the type to settle for one woman. If even Helen could not keep him, who are you to try?" 

Damn, her words stung like bee and I couldn't bear to listen for anymore second. A waiter walked by, I picked a cup off the tray and trashed the contents down my throat. I had no idea what it was, but alcohol is just what I need right now. 

I was seating outside slurring drunk when I felt someone occupy the space next to me. My vision was so blurry I could hardly make out what he looked like so I gave up trying.

"Why are you sitting here all alone?" The stranger asked, he had a fine voice I noticed but Cameron's is better.

"Nobody wants me anyway." I said sad, watching Helen and Cameron from afar made me nauseous that I just had to step outside. 

"Why would he bring me here only to flirt with another woman?" 

"Who is he?" Stranger asked.

"My husband." I said bitterly.

"That's just plain wrong, you shouldn't allow that. Go in there and tell him what he's doing is wrong, if you're too scared I can tag along for support." He sounded furious. 

I really wish I could but, "I signed the contract already." 

There was no word from him, we both stared at the sky in silence. 

"Avery?"

I didn't need to look to know who it was. "Speak of the the devil."

"What are you doing here?" He strolled to where I was sitting and yanked me up. "And who is this man?"

"I don't know," I confessed, "I met him outside, you were too busy with your ex. I needed an escape, tell me is that so wrong?" It took everything in me to keep myself from crying. 

"Are you jealous right now?" He questioned.

"Well aren't you?" That's the only explanation for his actions right now but he might be too chicken to admit it.

Anger rose in his eyes, "I ought to teach you a lesson."
