Chapter 5

Trevor's P.O.V

woke up to his phone ringing... he lazily reached for his phone without checking the caller, I answered it.

Hello....

Are you sleeping? a woman' s voice was heard from the other side of the phone.

Good morning mom, how are you doing, he said reaching for grape in a bowel on the side table barely opening his eyes.

Its already noon Trevor, get your ass out of bed and get ready, you where drinking weren't you?

I missed you too mom, and yes I was drinking,

I watched the race the other day it was amazing, I almost had a heart attack but I was glad you won.

Thank you so much mom but you should be taking care of yourself too.

Oh my heart is strong enough don't worry i once fainted during your fathers races because his car crushed, I can handle tyres missing, they both laughed,

Oh and before I forget I need you to attend a party for me, shes an old friend of mine but I don't think i can make it so i told her am sending my son there

But mom...

No don't give me that " But mom" you are going and that's final, also she has daughters

Mom after Betty I don't think I want anything to do with relationships.

I know that but you can't keep yourself locked up just because of a failed relationship, think about it. it might be just what you need before next seasons race begin

yes mother I will try, He said.

So that means you are going right?

I didn't agree to it...

I can't get you, you said you will be going?

Mom...

Alright I will tell her you are going, I love you. bye I have things to do. and she cut the phone without waiting for him to protest further.

How did Dad ever survive this woman, he dialed Charles number, who picked up after forever.

what's up you missed me. he answered.

Shut up, find two suites and get ready before seven pm,

why we have a party? what's the theme, I thought you wanted to lay low, what changed?

Its mom she insisted you get yourself a girl, so get dressed and pick me up, we will talk on the way.

But you know we are in the same room? you didn't have to call me.

Shut up charles the theme will be communicated, am going out for a walk.

Bye my love, be careful outside, charles teased and don't give me that disgusting look.

* * *

Let's get going I am not planning on staying there longer than thirty minutes, am just giving Ms Penelope the gift and we will be on our way unless she insists we stay. if it wasn't for mom I wouldn't be attending old ladies parties.

what's on your mind, still bothered about Paige? charles said.

she's the last person on my mind and I don't think we will ever meet again i will be traveling to Evergreen next week I would like to focus on my next race and check if i can find any new leads on Dads case.

Seems you have everything planned out, Trevor just nodded and turned to watch the city view in silence till they got to the venue, do you need me to deliver the gift.

No its fine I will deliver it myself, she knows what I look like. Mom really trapped me this time.

Come on what's worst that can happen, other than Betty being one of the guests, Charles said pointing at Betty's direction. Seeing that shes here am guessing the jerk was invited too.

Well we better not bump into any of them tonight let's go, they entered moments later after Betty and avoided all familiar faces, whatever happens we must keep a low profile tell and tell me when you see Ms Penelope, never mind she's seen us.

That's cool can I take a quick look around I will be back. Charles replied in a hurry disappearing without looking back.

what happened to sticking together you good for nothing jerk, he murmured to himself while smiling at the middle aged woman in a golden dress.

Oh my goodness I can't believe your mother actually sent you, she's been avoiding me for years but never misses any of my functions, Ms Penelope said pulling him into a warm embrace, you have grown into a fine young man hope you are still single, I have a single daughter, she will be here soon.

Its really nice to meet you Ms. Penelope, you look stunning tonight Trevor complimented her by placing a kiss on her hand, my mother sends her regards and apologies for not being able to make it.

Oh you are such a gentleman, but don't make excuses for your mother I know her better,

yes Ma'am thank you, I also brought you a present, he said handing the present to her, its your favorite wine.

How can I refuse, am accepting the gift now but you are not allowed to leave not yet I want you to meet my daughter first.

But Ms.Penelope...

Call me Mom your mother and I have history we are closer than you know. Either way you can't leave i will have my guards make sure you don't leave yet, enjoy the party am going to greet a few guests and come back to you understood?

Yes Mom.

Good boy, she said and left.

And I thought my Mom was difficult to deal with, Trevor thought he grabbed a Glass of wine from a waiter and talked to few guests.

If its not Trevor the Bastard child, the loser of the season, its embarrassing to show up infront of all the big shots after just one win.

Hello Adrian, Betty i wasn't expecting to see you both here, he calmly said still maintaining his posture.

Oh drop your act its not like you are something to be scared of, other than your look there is nothing impressive about you, you can't even brag about your dead father.

Adrian, come on babe we came here for Ms.Penelope's deal not talk to losers, Betty added. once my Father withdraws the funds his completely done for.

I swear if..

Hey.. baby am sorry I got lost trying to avoid moms guests but I ran into these cakes they are amazing, Paige suddenly appeared in front of Trevor completely ignoring Adrian and Betty, I know you don't like sweet stuff but you've got to try this she said while feeding him a piece of cake.

After a little hesitation he took a bite she looked at him anxiously waiting for a reaction, looking at her closer than before he was able to take in her full details, beautiful brown eyes with black braided hair, right size nose with soft lips, its perfect he finally answered,

I thought so too, now I feel like tasting all the food here she said turning to look at Betty and Adrian.

The loser racer and a ghost celebrity, Betty said, I didn't think I would run into you Paige its been a while, are you tired of being a ghost celebrity that you could go so low for attention. I mean there are better men would you like me to introduce you.

Paige let out a soft chuck, yes it has been a while seeing you here has ruined my mood I feel like living early.

It would be better if you left. Betty replied.

Right? Paige asked. why don't you complain to Ms. Penelope right there and tell her you are unhappy with her guests since you are so influential, we will be thrown out of here. without any second thought, she added.

Betty managed to bring Ms.Penelope and complained. Ms.Penelope as you know we came here to strike a deal with you but we are deeply offended by your guest I would like to request for the two to be sent out she demanded.

Really Paige really you will do anything to get out of here. Ms.Penelope questioned leaving everyone stunned by her reaction.

Do whatever you can to get what you want, that's what you taught me.

oh don't give me that crap or you will be grounded young lady.

But mommy, Paige complained stamping her feet on the ground.

Mom..? the three chorused.
