Chapter 91- Auction.

Raina's POV.

Bas always knew what I needed, and when he asked me that at that time when I needed it the most, it made me so overjoyed that he could understand me, without me having to voice it out so much.

I blushed when he said, I'll give him those Kisses after the show, he was really turning me on, Lyn was right when she said we were both crazy and we should get a room when she sees us, it's now like we do much, we just click a lot.

I looked up when the presenters brought out the ten piece and placed them out for everyone to see, I could hear claps.

The first piece was placed at the front, and everyone quieted down when the MC picked up his microphone.

"Now we'll start by bidding on the first piece of art." The MC said bringing the first piece forward, I could hear claps, I was extremely nervous, I hoped that people liked it.

"Now the bidding price, I can't give any price,the first bidder will give it the starting price." The MC said.

"You can name your price." He added looking at the audience, I bit my lips, I was so nervous, I could feel myself shake, but I didn't want to show it, so I clamped my hands together and looked up.

"Two Hundred Thousand Dollars." The first bidder said, a young man with wavy long hair, he stood up with waving his hands, I was shocked, that the art piece was even bidded at that big amount.

"Wow, we have the first price two hundred thousand dollars." The MC said.

"This first piece is going for two hundred thousand dollars." He added.

"Going…., Going….,." He called out.

"Four hundred thousand dollars." Another man stood up , and people clapped, I smiled shakily, I was genuinely surprised that art works cost this much, but I remembered that I have never sold one before, and I also never bought one, I now understood how and why people were frantic when their art pieces were stolen,and why they showed off everytime.

"The first piece is going for four hundred thousand dollars." The MC said.

"Going…, going..," the MC repeated.

"It's going at," the MC paused.

"Five hundred thousand dollars." A woman stood up, she looked like a familiar art director.

"Wow, another bidder." The MC said excitedly.

"This piece is going for five hundred thousand dollars." The MC said looking around.

"Going…, going…," he said.

"The first art piece is gone for five hundred thousand dollars." He said and everyone clapped.

"Now you'll help me pack it for Mrs Benny." The MC said and I exclaimed.

Mrs Benny was a top art director and she had many good pieces to her name, I was very happy she got to buy an art piece from me.

"Now that was a very good start for the auction, we are off to auctioning another piece." The MC said waving to the presenters who brought another piece forward.

This piece was the lavender art piece I drew, I thought of lavender and it just came to mind.

"The next piece, who's calling the starting price?" The MC asked waving his hands in the air.

"Three hundred thousand dollars." Mr Gibs from Accounting department stood up, I could hear claps.

"Five hundred thousand dollars." Mrs Ramos which I could easily identify when I came here, she was one of the richest and popular people from EBC.

"Oh wow, this is getting tougher, looks like everyone wants a piece of Miss Raina's work.

"Five hundred thousand dollars going." The MC said.

"Seven hundred thousand dollars." Another hand, I couldn't recognise the person.

I just smiled.

"Going for seven hundred thousand dollars." The MC called out.

"Going, going." The MC drawled.

"Gone, and the next piece is sold for seven hundred thousand dollars." The MC said and everyone appluaded.

I could hear whispers and I wished I was like Bas who could read people's mind, and hear what they were saying.

I wanted to know and get many answers from what disturbed me.

Did they like it?, Were they genuinely excited about it?, What were they whispering about?.

I had so many questions run through my mind, it was really disturbing, as much as I saw the effect of my work, I wanted to know if it was genuine.

I felt like asking Bas, but I was also embarrassed, so I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I shook a little when I heard my phone binged, I saw a message from Bas and I smiled.

"Hey are you alright?" I smiled when I saw his message, he immediately knew I was uncomfortable or feeling bad.

"You look disturbed,are you okay?" He sent another text.

I smiled when I saw that, I turned to him and smiled, he raised his brows, winking at me.

"I was thinking about what everyone thought." I replied.

"Everyone loves it, so far the minds I've read and the ones that I got to listen it unwillingly." He said and I laughed.

"Okay, thanks, I was just nervous for a long while, I'm happy I could talk to you, it has made me a little happy right now." I said sending a heart emoji to him.

He sent a sticker of him fainting out of love and I almost laughed out loud, I had to clam my mouth together.

"Stop." I warned him and he send another similar sticker, and I smiled.

"I just wanted to see that beautiful smile and laugh, and I'm happy I've seen it.", He said and I blushed, he really did know his way with words, that he could get me blushing and impressed even at the smallest things.

I looked up and realized that five art piece were sold and it was five left for auction, I must have been really distracted when I chatted with Bas, but I didn't regret that, I guess being distracted made my mind lighten a little from the heavy thought in my head, at least it didn't linger for a long time.

I didn't even know the prices that were auctioned anymore, I was too busy Chatting with my favourite vampire in the whole world, he was literally my favourite person, I loved him, I didn't realise I could love someone this much, it was an amazing feeling, and since I decided I'll be a vampire soon, I was going to make sure we'll have this feeling forever, I hoped it'll last till we ceased to exist.

My love for him grew everyday, it sometimes shocked me how much I cared about him and loved him.

He meant so much to me, he was actually my everything.

I sat up straight and chastised myself to stop imagining and reminiscing my feelings and love life.

"The eight piece is about to be auctioned." The MC said and I smiled.

I was happy the auctioning will finsh soon, this meant that the event would be over soon, because that's how it was programmed, for everything to end after the auction.

"Start naming your price, we'll do this the way we did earlier." The MC said with a smile.

"Five Million dollars." A woman said and I gasped, I couldn't believe that it had even reached that amount of money.

"Okay the starting price of Five Million dollars." The MC said.

"Going, for five million dollars." The MC said.

"Ten million Dollars." I gasped in shock as Matteo stood up, I looked at him and he just shrugged.

"Okay Ten million dollars." The MC said.

"Fifteen million dollars." Gabriel said and my mouth was wide open at the moment, I was extremely shocked, I couldn't believe it.

"Going at Fifteen Million dollars." The MC said.

"Going, going." The MC looked around.

"Gone." He said and everyone clapped and whistled.

"And it is gone for Fifteen Million dollars." The MC hailed and I could hear the constant claps.

I couldn't even believe that the auction was going to be this big.

"Okay, okay, it's time for the last one." The MC said.

I was startled, I didn't even realise that the fourteenth piece was already auctioned.

"Now ,I saved the best for the last." The MC said.

And I smiled, that was actually my favourite piece, I painted it when Bas called me and I thought of him while painting it.

"Now the starting price." The MC said.

"Hundred million dollars." A man stood up and I gasped.

I was surprised that someone could bid that high for the piece, I know it was beautiful, probably the best in everything that was presented today.

"Oh wow, we're starting off with a great price." The MC said.

"Hundred million dollars." The MC said.

"Are we going for that price?" He asked.

"Two Hundred million dollars." A woman said and I gasped.

Wow I was really shocked, the price was getting higher.

I turned to Lyn who only smiled at me, I was shaking with happiness right now.
