The Party

Walking into a party filled with paparazzi outside is almost similar to you been been on a runway where every step you take is been photographed make one fall and your face gets plasted around the news tabloid the next day

Luckily for me the only shot they could get of me was a side view because once we got out the car I was immediately been surrounded by our security detail from the party

No one will be able to get a clear picture of me unless I allow it

With Xavier by my side then Daniel and two other guys in tux by my side I was able to walk freely knowing that my face won't be on any Celebrity Gossip tomorrow and I could go back to my simple life.

Xavier opened the door and I was immediately overwhelmed by the masterpiece, I have always had a things for interior design I guess been a art lover made me appreciate things that people tend to overlook

One of the only reasons I manage not to do die of boredom during these parties is because I spend most of my time entertaining myself with details of the decoration

"Come on  Sweet pie time to meet everyone" Xavier dragged

me bringing me out from my Wonderland

"Argh...

Must we"

I grumbled as we walked down to meet people

This was one of the part i hated the most at parties greeting people

Been an Anderson means you know everyone and that also means you must greet everyone

I really don't know the person who came up with the dumb idea of greeting everyone at a party because this is torture

We spent the next 30 mins going round and greeting everyone while my brother just greeted some and left he had a few laughs with others before leaving and don't let me even get you started on when he introduces me

I ended up getting this

"Wow where have been hiding this gem Xavier?"

"If you ever decide to go into acting tell your brother to give me a call"

"Have you ever considered modeling?"

"We met at the last Annual Ball at Yuwan with your parents do you remember?"

And the list goes and on and on

I just had to pretend to remember those who claim we had met before and tried to look interested in all the offers I kept getting left and right

I know I take a lot of things for granted and how a lot of people will die just to be in the same room with them but this was not my scene at all and I was really happy when the presenter came on stage to welcome us all to the opening party

"Finally!"

I whispered to no one in particular as I brought out my phone to see if I had any messages from the girls

"Come on there is one final person I will like you to meet" Xavier said dragging me to other side of the hall

"Please let it is not another Producer or Director" I asked Xavier

"No it is someone better

I will like to introduce you to the costar for my new movie Freya Romano"

Xavier said as were walking straight in the direction of a beautiful dirty blonde woman in Red dress but while I was still trying to have a full view of her before we got close my attention moved to the guy that came with her

It was really difficult to get a full view of his face but as we kept get closer to them

I was 100% sure the guys face was familiar I knew I had definitely seen him somewhere before but I couldn't remember where

"What did you say her name is again?

I asked Xavier

"Freya Romano"

Once I heard Romano my mind went blank as I knew I had heard that name from recently from somewhere

I tried recalling where I had heard that name from when suddenly it hit me 

Sandro Romano

It can't be possible I thought as we got closer and closer to them

By the time we were just 6 feet apart and I could have have a proper look at the guy I looked up and immediately locked eyes with a very familiar stormy grey eyes and I knew without a doubt that the guy with my brother's costar was Sandro

Have you ever wished the ground could  opened and swallow you up or feel like  you are walking straight to your destruction and there was no escape from it because within a few seconds it felt like my whole life was about to change and the 6 feet walk felt like 6 hour journey

When we were just a feet apart and I was about to forget about to say my farewell to the simple life I had managed to enjoy for a while when I was suddenly hit by a server and the next thing i felt was cold drinks pouring down my waist

"Oh my God.....

I am so sorry

This is my first time working here and I am still trying to  get wrap my head around ....."

The very nervous server stuttered as he bent down to pick up the tray and the glass that fell

"Don't beat yourself about it

Anyone can make a mistake

I will just need you to show me to the ladies room while I go and see if I can clean this up"

I said as I opened my clutch

"I am coming with you"

Xavier said as he gave me his handkerchief to clean up

"No don't worry I can handle myself why don't you go and say hi to your costar and I will meet up with you once I am done"

I looked up and saw that the little incident had drawn everyone attention to us but thanks to the lanky Server at my front I could not get a proper view of Sandro and I knew he could not also see me

"See you soon"

I have my brother a quick peck and dragged the Server as we walked out of the ball using him to block Sandro from seeing me

Damn I swear that incident was really a miracle in disguise

"I am very very sorry Mam

If it does not come off I can pay for the  dry cleaning"

The scared Server said as we got the ladies room

"Trust me you did me a favour pouring that drink on me so you can go and I promise your manager will not hear about this"

I said trying to reassure him that he won't get fired because of me and walked into the restroom

"Now how the hell do I get red wine of my cloth" I mumbled to myself as I tired soaking the fabric with water

"I would not advise you to use water on that type of material"

I turned to meet a cute girl around my age sitting at the corner of the restroom with an Harry Potter series in her hands

"Hi

sorry I didn't see you there"

I said

"No worries but i won't advise you to use water it will just make the stain spread

Hold on I think I have something that can help"

she dropped her book and searched through her bag

"Here"

She said handing me a hand sanitiser

"Thanks I guess but what will I use it for?"

I asked as i collected the bottle from her so as not to look rude but but I was a little bit confused here

"Well the best way to get stain out of your type of material is to clean it with alcohol

Here let me help you out"

She collected my  handkerchief and poured some of her hand sanitizer on it and wiped the stain and just like she said it worked like magic The handkerchief totally absorb the stain from my gown

"Now all that remains is for you to allow your dress dry off and then it will be clean as new" She said and handed me back Xavier handkerchief

"Thank you so much

You are a lifesaver"

I said as I threw it away

"You are welcome

I am into Dress making so this was nothing"

She said and went back to her corner

"Oh my God how rude of me I never even got to ask you your name

I am Samantha Anderson"

I said as I walked up to her

"Vera Brown"

she said adjusting her glasses

"Nice to meet and thank you so much for earlier I....."

My phone rang I picked it up and saw it was my brother calling me

"It was really nice meeting and I wish we could talk more but my brother is waiting for me and he as the patient of a new born baby

thanks again but I really have to go"

I said watching her burst into laughter

"No problem

I can understand overbearing parents and sibling"

She shrugged off

"Thanks again"

I said for the second time, picked up my pursed and walked out thanking mother nature for sending help my way

As I was opening the door leading to the main hall I bumped into someone and my purse fell

"Damn why am I been so clumsy today?"

I asked myself as I bent to pick up my purse

"I was just about to ask you the same thing" Even though I had only heard him speak like three times i was able to recognize it and I knew it was Sandro fucking Romano I bumped into

Damnt it

Today is definitely not my day and here I was thanking mother nature for finally on my side today

I slowly looked up to meet that very familiar grey eyes staring at me

"Hi Sandro!"
