Chapter :20 Have Mercy On Me

Xander's hand sneaked around my waist as we came to a halt and turned around. He comfortably stood behind me and graced me with his heat on my back.

Standing in front of us was a tall brunette. In a bodycon mid-thigh pink tight dress and pink shiny heels,she looked like a barbie doll.She removed her mask and not to my surprise, her face was plastered with too much pink powder and a luminous pink lip-gloss.She had strange almond-shaped eyes, straight nose,and a Russian-bow mouth.She seemed to be 5'6 feet tall,despite the fact that she wore heels.

I felt Xander's hold tighten around my waist but soon relaxed after I looked over my shoulder at him with a look which said, 'Let me handle it.'

Turning my attention back to the barbie doll,I gave her my most fraudulent smile.

"Oh hi there.Want something from us?"I asked

She scoffed and rolled her eyes."I'd like to talk to Xander ALONE, please." She emphasized the word alone.

"Oh,it's Mr.Vincenzo to you ma'am." I sheepishly said to her."And I reckon everything everyone has to say to him,I also get to hear."

"And who might you be to him?"She rudely asked.

"Oh me?" I sarcastically sounded surprised."Im fine,thank you." I said to a handsome young boy who just offered us drinks.Xander also denied the offer.

"Thank you." Barbie doll said taking a handful glass of red wine from the boy and after that, he walked away.

"Well you know..." I dragged my words as I slowly reached for the glass in her hand with my left hand.Making quite sure the shiny diamond material wrapped around my thin finger brushed past her hand.

I took a sip of her wine cautiously."I am Ms.Zoey Vincenzo and who might you be to him?" I asked calmly,enjoying to see the anger that flashed across her face.

I broke out of Xander's embrace and walked slowly towards her.As my face was just an inch away from hers,I leaned over to her ear,"Long white thighs and a Russian accent might excites him and make him fall in LUST but the level of Intellectuality and a simple English accent are what really fascinates and make him fall in LOVE." I whispered quietly, contemptuously.

I backed away and placed the glass back into her hand.Her mouth was agaped and her eyes looked like they were ready to pop out.

I moved back to Xander's embrace and relaxed at his warm,welcoming familiar touch.

"Thanks for the drink and off you may go now." I falsely smiled at her.

She silently turned her heels around to leave but after she took a few steps, I stopped her.

"Hey Barbie doll," I called and she turned back around.

"Yes?"She unpleasantly answered.

"You might want to associate yourself with me so I could aid you in dressing according to what the expectations of an event are.Cool?" I smirked devilishly.

"Leave Angelina." Xander sternly commanded but she just crossed her arms over her chest and dared to not move.

"Somebody make me." She stubbornly uttered.

My impatience started kicking in and Lord knows I have had enough of that barbie doll already and I was just not ready for her sick games.I promptly turned my face towards Xander's. My brain fogged over with impatience and annoyance.

"I have to be that somebody she's looking for.Im sorry." I whispered wholeheartedly and smashed my half-wet lips onto his.I didn't expect the softness that met my lips but did feel grateful for it.The gentle flesh against mine,gently caressing my lips.

I expected a protest or declination but to my absolute surprise,he cupped my face and deepened the kiss.It was slow,passionate and letting darkness indulge both of us as we devoured each other's mouths,made it magical and just PERFECT.Suddenly,I couldn't think straight,I barely heard Angelina scoff more and stumbled away,cursing underneath her breath.

The kiss went on and on until Xander tangled his fingers in my hair.Forcefully pulling my lips away from his so that I could open my eyes.

Or breathe.

Or think.

My body trembled, breathes shakily fell from my parted lips.

My legs were wobbling as if I was standing in a pool of jello in the middle of an earthquake. But truth be told, the only force that was keeping me upright-was him.

His embrace.

"That was bold." His voice sunked low and raspy.His thumb traced the side of my jaw,running across my bottom lip,dragging it gently against his thumb.His hungry, lustful eyes devoured me from where I stood,making me feel like a delicious piece of meat he should partake in.

So low of me to think like that but frankly,I thought of everything when it came to him.From monumentally wild fantasies to so much more.

"But effective," I said through heavy breathes."And also,it was worth saving us from lots of barbie drama." I said and we both gave out a little laugh.

"True." He nodded.And his lustful expression in those forests green eyes,burning with hunger came back as he intensely stared right into my soul.

"Want to get out or here?" He asked.

"But we just got here," I complained.

"And we can just leave anytime we want to and I think that time is right now."

"But," I whined, looking right back at him.

"Please Zoey,that kiss really got me so hard and intensely wanting to have a release right now.Have mercy on me."

I gulped,got exited and felt goosebumps at his words and without wasting any second,I found myself running with him out of the Ballroom.
