Friday night
After 2 long hours of plucking and trimming Xain was able to perform his magic and a give me a complete makeoverI couldn't even recognise myself as I stared hard into the mirror"Wow" I said in shock still trying to take in everything "I know right Fairy godmother is nowhere next to this amazing magic"Xain said spinning me around to have a full look of his work "So are you ready? Xain asked me the one question have been trying to avoid all night"NoNot at allBut this is not about me at all and I have come to accept that"I said as I wore my black leather boots "Really"Xain said looking at my choice of shoe"Oh hell yeahThis is the one fucking thing I am comfortable with wearing tonight There is no way I am wearing 4 inch heels to dance for God knows how long So yeah Xain really" I picked up my purse as I went to round the house to lock up"Come on let's go" Xain said "I am comingI just need to check in with Mrs Barry then I will be done" I said as I picked up my phone to call her"Who is Barry and hurry up there is a limit to been fashionable late we don't want to miss the golden boy now do we? Xain said while getting a bottle a water"Can you please try to keep upSophie is with her friend Maria Barry Mrs Barry is watching them tonight and yes we can go know" I said as I locked up and dropped my keys into my purse"Time to party people!Xain laughed as we got into our Uber"I couldn't believe I would live to see the day you will decided to have the night all to yourself Damn girl I am so proud of you" Xain said as he pulled me in for an hug"Okay I think that's a enough knowAnd also remember I am not here to party" I said as our Uber driver drove into Mateo Fantasy"Can you tell me again how you were able to get us into the most elite party in town"I asked as we passed the bouncer and walked into the building "Let's just say I know somebody that knows somebody that is friends with the manager and besides why are you still surprised you know I know everybody" Xain said as we got to another set of bouncers and Xain showed them our pass"That's true" I said I they opened the door for us and we were immediately hit with the loud music"Why do people gladly endure this torture"I said as I took in the whole scene in front of me"Because it a way for us to escape the real world" Xain said looking around for next hot guy to dump me for"Can we at least get a drink before you ditch me" I said as I dragged him with me to the counter "Hey beauties What can I get you? A very handsome looking bartender asked us clearly focused on Xain"Can I get a sparkling water...""Hold that thought for a second I need to talk some sense into this girl head"Xain interrupted me and turned to the bartender asking him to hold on then finally turned back to me"So let me get this straight Your plan is to drink water all night until your prince charming comes to Your rescue"he asked as if me asking for water is that weird "My answer is Yes and no to both your questionsI would really like to be of full control of my body and head"I said to him and turned my attention back to the bartender "Not in my watch young lady And who the hell still talks like thatI would like to be in full control of my body and head" He said mimicking me"What year do you think we are 80's Damn I don't even think back then people at that mentality So you better but on your big girl panties on and get ready for the night of your life bitch" he finally concluded his speech definitely feeling proud of himself and turned to meet his cute bartender "We are both going to have a shot of vodkaAnd this not put for discussion young lady"He said to me as the cute but still nameless bartender worked is magic in mixing of the drink"Here to a very naughty night for you two" The bartender said serving us our drink"Wouldn't you like to join in our ride ......""Ray""Xain" He said as he gulped down his drink"And this party pooper besides me is Valera but just call her Vee" "Lovely name for a lovely lady" he took my hands and kissed it"Thanks I think" I said a bit confused as to why I was been brought into their flirting game"My shift is going to be over in the next 15mins if you can hang around till then" Ray said to Xain"Only if you promise me a dance and your number after" "All doneYour next round is going to be on the house" Ray said "Come on Vee drink upThis party is just getting starting"Xain winked at Ray "It's not like I have much of a choice here" I gulped down the shot fast and immediately felt a bit of dizziness "Another round" I said as I dropped down my glass"Your wish is my command mi'lady"Ray said as he started mixing the drinks again"So any sight of your prince charming yet" Xain asked as he looked around for him"No Not yet and he is not my prince charming I doubt he is even anyone prince charming. I can't wait for this night to be over"I said as I gulped down my second shot"Keep the shot coming RayI have a long night ahead of me" I said as I tried losing myself to the beat "Finally cool Vee is the house people" Xain said as Ray dropped us another shot"My shift is going to the over in the next 30 secs........Okay guys I am free,I just need to sign out then I am also yours" Ray said as he hanged his apron by stand at the door and walked out"So what do you think" Xain said"I mean he seems like a nice guy and he knows how to treat a girl right besides aren't you the one that asked me to go with the flowSo just try to enjoy your night and let's see where the night leads" I said as I gulped down another shot"Damn girl take it easy will youAnd you know whatYou are right so I am just going to enjoy the night" Xain said checking out Ray now that he wasn't behind the table he could have a full view "Damn!If you don't want him just pass him" immediately i said that I knew the alcohol was already working"Time to party"Ray screamed dragging us from out comfort zone to the dance fallThe next hour passed with me shouting every song been played was my favorite as I danced and before I knew it is couldn't find Xain or Ray anywhere"Damn hormonal horny men"I said and left the floor as my toes were starting to hurt like a bitch"HeyCan I get Tequila on the rock with lime"I asked Ray replacement a cute Asian girl with bright purple hair that makes her stand in the crowd"HereYou seem to be having a nice time"She said as she passed me my drink"You should have seem me on the dance floor back then I was killing itBut my stupid best friend just had to leave for his new man candyI am Valerabut you can just call me Vee""Aiko" she said"Do you know the guy whose shift is before yours"I asked her"YesYou mean Ray""YeahHave you by any chance seen him around with a blonde hair guy"I asked hoping to find them before they both dit

The drive back home with Sophie was strangely quiet until she decided break the void"You know mama and papa must be really bored up there that they are trying to get one of us to be with them so soon"I was suddenly beginning to miss the silenceThis question was really a tough one because I knew the real answer she wanted"Mama and papa are not lonely up there at allThose old people will definitely not want any child to spoil their funTrust me you are not going anywhere anytimeOh by the way I got something for youCheck the bag beside you"I pointed at the bag hoping it will get her mind of death for the moment"What is in the bag"She asked excitedly as she rushed to it at the back seat"Did you get me.....Treaties Doughnut!!You are really the best"she said as she brought it out"I know I amAnd just to be extra nice today what do you th

"Sophie go straight to the bathroom you stinkAnd don't forget to use your drug by 4" I said to Sophie once we all got inside"I know I do not stinkBut fine I am going, only because I know you and Xain want to talk about the new man in your life" She said dropping her bag on the floor"Pick that up immediately and go to your room young lady" I said and watched her pick up her things from the floor and then she left"Can you by any chance get the list of the VVIP guest list from yesterday" I asked Xain once she was out"I don't think soI mean getting the VIP list from a place like Mateo is going to hard and you want to me to get the VVIP listThat is going to be almost impossibleI know you see me as a magicianBut honey they are the VVIP for a reasonI will call all my contact from there to see what I can dig upBut I can't promise you anything" Xain said as he brought out his phone"You

“I got bored…………”“You got bored?”I said, completely confused.“Mrs. Young left to go sort out our tour and there I was standing all by myself. Then I saw you had managed to get rid of your chauffeur, so I decided to come get you myself”.He said with a proud smile on“You got bored…..”I said as relief washed all over my face and I suddenly felt a lot lighter.“YesI just said thatSo is everything good?”.He asked“Yes…..”I said, wondering what he was talking about.“I mean at home.”He explained further, seeing my confusion.“Oh yeahEverything is good.Xain was just checking in”.I said vaguely, adjusting my purse to avoid eye contact with him.“OkayNow that we have that sorted out on to the next thing on our agendaCome on we have a lot of cover and little time to do so” .He said with a huge smile on his face.“I hear you, but I doubt Mrs. Young is done setting up, seeing as this is a last minute arrangement that you basically tricked her into doing.”I said”You say tricked
De Luca..........De Luca..........De Luca..........De Luca..........De Lu…..“DarlingAre you fine?You look really pale?Here is a glass of water.”Still in shock, I slowly collected the glass from him, nodding as I gulped it all down in one take, trying to get my brain to function, so I could sort it all out, but I guess I had finally broken my brain because I kept on hearing only De Luca like a mix player on loop.“AnytimeYou did not disappoint at all Mrs. Young as expected, and I had a really lovely time this evening.”“It is always a pleasure to have you around, Mr. De LucaWe hope you had a wonderful time, Ms. GomezWe will have the note added to the item and drop it by your driver.Let me leave you two alone.Enjoy the rest of the evening”She said with a polite smile and walked off.“I couldn’t have done any of these without your help.Thanks a lot………..”I knew he was talking to me and I had to reply, but I couldn’t.My head was still spinning and my brain just froze.“He
Well played Darling You are a fast learner............." He said smiling back at me which sent shiver down my spine for some reason but I just shrugged it off. This was my time not his and I wasn't going to let a stupid smirk get to me"I had a not so terrible teacher" I said returning the smirking back to him"And soon the student becomes the maste........" He said and we both laughed out loud when I got another idea, looking at him with a innocent face I asked him"Wouldn't it be nice for you to slip a little note before they wrap the painting up........You know to add a personal touch to it?" "That is not a bad idea at allI just need a little piece of paper" He said them signalled to the server by our left "Sir.........." The server a blonde lanky kid said moving to our table "Can you get me small piece of paper and a pen?" my date asked "Yes sir.........""And also tell your manager to hold on on wrapping my item for the night I want to add a little note to itFrom table 2

"Item 10............The Hollow" He said with his gaze still on the pamphlet as he read it out loud"Yes, so what do yoi think?" I asked hesitatedly a bit nervous hoping he would like it "Elle Gray..........This name sounds vaguely familiarI feel like I have heard it somewhere before but I can't quite remember" he said still staring at the list"She is a very popular artist, I am sure you would have seen some of her works around. One of her work is at the Hamsmith Art Gallery it was one of their showcase for last summer I think the name was.........Blue Light.........."I stuttered off not completely sure I got the name right but also silently thanking Sophie for been a Art lover. I remember her dragging me last summer when they opened with their new art pieces and I remember her been totally obsessed with Elle Gray. I don't think I have ever seen anyone be that obsessed over another person she would definitely write her biography if given the chance. That was also the reason i wen
