Chapter Seventy.

Elena's Pov.

I sat in the car silently, contemplating what had happened last night, my head was replaying some sensual scenes and I was breathing rather heavily, Katie cast me a sidelong glance and I knew the question that was in the air.

"I did it last night" I heaved, she chuckled.

"You did what? Please elaborate, I do not get what you are trying to imply." She said, eyes on the road, I fiddled with the phone in my hand.

"Me…I mean I and Lorenzo, we…." I hesitated and she raised an eyebrow at me urging me to go on, "well..we had sex last night and it was the best thing ever" I breathed out and her eyes widened.

"You what?" She gasped as if she had not been expecting it all along.

"Oh for the love of gossip, what did you expect at first, that we went galloping in the middle of the night?" I said dramatically and the corners of her mouth lifted in a smile.

"Well, you did gallop did you not?" She said smugly and I felt like slapping the smirk off her face, she spoke before I could decide on that line of thought, "but forget about that, tell me, who initiated the whole thing" she asked, ready to feast on the information before her, I shook my head at her.

"I did, I mean technically, I made the first move, I was just so fucking confident, maybe that was the tequila in me pushing me to do that but I did and well, I cannot say I regret that particular decision, you know, maybe I should get myself drunk often and then maybe I might actually get laid more often" I licked my lips and Katie's eyes widened more and more, something I did not think was possible, a feat.

" Who are you and where have you hidden the Elena who is insecure about sex" she laughed and I laughed along.

"I mean, I did enjoy it, so it should not be bad that I want to have another go at it" I sighed, the blissful feeling, that feeling as though all the orgens in your body are melting and the hot rush of climax, it was all so sensual that I wondered what I had been so insecure about.

"Gosh, I cannot believe this, I am sure you had quite the ride" she smirked again and I could not help it, I smiled along with her, "Tell me, is he really big" she asked exaggeratedly.

" That is supposed to be personal" I grimaced.

" Yeah yeah, we both know I am not interested in your man and if I was he would be wrapped around my little finger" She joked and I let out a low chuckle, " I mean look at this melons, if they are not enough to capture anyone I want, then I do not know what is, but that is by the way, you were about to tell me how exceptionally big he is" she said the last part pointedly.          

Ooh, he is awfully big" I started, I was not exaggerating, he was absolutely big "The word big is an understatement" I gulped when I remembered the time he entered me, I had cried out and my vision had blurred with pain and pleasure, and it had almost cleared when he had started moving, throwing me back into a hazy daze, it was all so unexplainable.

"Ooh, I am sure you had a nice time" She said, her smile wide and bright.

"You bet your ass that I had the best sex of my life yesterday with Lorenzo, there is no two ways about it, it was the best of the best, my bones were still like jelly in the morning, he had to steady me because I almost fell off my feet and face planted on the floor, that us what I am talking about" I heaved a sigh of pleasure as I recalled some other episodes from yesterday and my heart fluttered.

" You are totally whipped, that big ass smile on your face says it all" Katie laughed.

" You have a big ass smile on your face too, I am just sharing in you excitement about my sex life" I teased.

" At least you have one now, I had begun to wonder if you were planning on going celibate, I am happy for you sis, but I can tell that you are whipped of your feet for him" she laughed again and I swatted at her arm.

" I like him, okay, are you satisfied, I like him a lot, but then again, who does not? He is tall and handsome and intelligent and had this bone chilling aura but then when we are together he becomes the sweetest house husband and does all those things that makes my heart flutter, I can't help it if my intestines start doing backflips when I see him, or if my heart decides to turn into a butterfly and fly around my chest, doing the dance of the nights at the mere sight of him, none of it is in my control, it is just natural, I guess" I ranted and then heaved a sigh, I like Lorenzo Shane Cole, the boss and CEO of LSC groups, who had a murderous vibe about him that could make the hairs on anyone's neck prickle with fear and respect, he commanded respect wherever he went and one could not deny the amount of power the man held,he had the power to end anyone's career, and the ability to bring it to life, he was not known to everyone in the public, but his name was a sensation to the very public he dealt with people of class and he was at the top tier level among the people of wealth and in any elite circle, it was hard to see a match for him. I liked this man a lot, but I did not know if I could match his status anytime soon.

"What are you thinking?" Katie asked,my face had a weary expression and I sighed.

"I feel like, I am not doing enough, yes, I agree that I am climbing the ladder slowly but steadily, but I still do not qualify to stand next to Lorenzo, he is way above me when it comes down to it, I doubt I will ever reach the standard to stand next to him in public as a suitable partner, I doubt that would ever happen." The weight of my own words bore down on me and Katie nodded her head in understanding.

" You see, the thing is this, you will be able to do that one day, it all boils down to how hard you word and how willing you are to do just that, I fully believe that you are capable of achieving that goal, or any other goals that you have set for yourself for that matter, it is only a matter if time and hard work, and your future is set for you, I am sure your mom would be proud of you and what you have achieved so far." She encouraged and I smiled. I looked up to see that we had arrived and Katie had stopped the car just to give me that pep talk I let out a chuckle.

" What is so amusing?" She asked.

" Nothing. Just the fact that you had to stop the car to give me that long ass pep talk despite the fact that I have a full schedule today, you still made time for motivational speech, kudos to you" I joked and she swatted my arm.

We made our way inside the building, this was my second time working with this brand and I was pretty motivated to give them my all, because they had treated me well the first time, and at that time I was not really popular, at least not as much as I am now, not that it was something to brag about.

Today, we were shooting an advertisement, it was a jewelry brand and so I was to advertise their new line of rings, I looked at the script, it was a pretty simple thing. I just had to act like a schoolgirl that was head over heels for her crush, she grows up to be a successful business woman ( who likes to adorn herself with accessories and jewelries) and has a coincidental meeting with her high school crush, feelings flow and he takes her on a date, she wears her red dress coupled with her fine jewelries and he is awestruck by her beauty, he then drops on one knee and proposes to her with a glistening wedding ring, she accepts it like the boss she is and then the next scene shows her in her wedding dress on the beach, her ring shining in the sunlight and the jewelry on her neck glittering, but not as bright as the smile she had plastered on her face, then cut, the end.

The only problem we had was that the male character was nowhere to be seen, I did not know who it would be, but I was hoping he would not turn out to be some rude jackass, I looked to Katie, she gave me an encouraging look and I smile, I really needed the male character to not be a rude jackass because right now I was in the feels and I hade to pull a lot if smiley faces in this advert, I sighed, we had been too early, either that or he was dead ass late, I sighed again.

I could hear some grumbles here and there about the te he was to arrive but I paid no heed to them and focused on keeping my mind calm, thus was just like acting a movie, just that it was a short cluo that did not involve sounds, just emotions and facial expressions to express all that the ad wanted to relay, I sagged in my seat just as I heard the footsteps of someone entering the room.

"Sorry I had some errands to run" The voice sounded oddly familiar and I whipped my head to see who it might be from, my mouth went slack and his jaw dropped too.

It was Raymond, the dude I had met and exchanged numbers with yesterday at the club, I breathed a sigh of utmost relief, this was a blessing.

"Hi, Elena it is so good to see you" He said, striding towards me, when he reached me he swoooed in for a hug and I patted his back,and when he released me, I let out an exaggerated breathe. 

I studied this man before me, his blonde hair had been cut, probably today, such that it was low at the side and at the back but was rolled and a little bit rough in the middle, it gave him a charming fuckboy look and I was sure that he was the perfect person for the role, but I had no idea that he was a model, but truth be told I did not know much about him, we had met at the club yesterday, had the fun of we went there for and then exchanged numbers, I liked him, he was a carefree and jovial person, this would make the acting better and much more real.

The director clapped and said something to his crew, I went to go and change into my school girl uniform and when I came out, he was already wearing there in his trousers and crisp white shirt a blazer draped over his shoulders, he was reading a book with leg bent so that the sole if his shoe was resting on a locker which was a prop, his hair was now almost scattered in a boyish manner as if he had run his hand in it from the back such that the long strands fell over his eyes and it even served to make him more charming. 

Everything was in place as the filming started, I was holding a school bag, fondling with the strap nervously bringing attention to the bracelet on my wrist, it was a silver chain charm bracelet, I held a gift for him, but I was chewing on my lips nervously, unable to move my feet, my eyes widening as I looked at him, I was pulling the shy girl act as I stood there watching him, he walked away, not noticing me as I stretched a hand at his back without being able to say anything, then I turned and left as well, my shirt skirt bouncing as I went, I looked down at my feet, sad, The scene ended as I went to pull off the costume, I looked pretty hot in the attire, white shirt with a tie and short skirt with knee high black socks, I smirked at myself in the mirror, I had pulled that one off quite well.

For the next scene, I pulled on a white shirt, with a black suit trouser and a kimono jacket, my chain hanging from my neck and the bracelet sparkling on my wrist. 

The scene did not take long, I just finished giving a presentation at a business meeting and was smiling as I carried my stuff to leave, while walking and checking my folder for the next appointment, I bumped into someone, the folder clattering to the ground with a spray of papers, I bent to carry it and so did he, our hands touching, the camera zoomed in on our hands, he was wearing a gold ring on his little finger while I did not have any rings on, I looked up at him and he looked at me, our eyes locked and we could not look away, end of scene.

The next scene required me to appear in a red long dress that fitted my body really well, my neck adorned with a ruby necklace, my ears beautified with beautiful teardrop earrings and my hair was packed in a loose bun and curled so that small curly ringlets were left dangling to frame my face, I looked stunning. This scene was a candlelit dinner, his hair was swept back and styled such that he gave off the charming gentleman vibe, we sat down to a bottle of wine and plates of food, he could not keep his eyes off me and I gave him a smile that was bright as day, we ate and smiled and made eye contact, with him reaching out to put a strand of hair behind my ear, at the end of the scene, he dropped down on one knee, and opened the box containing the ring, I held my breath despite myself, it was a beauty, I even let tears spring to my eyes as I looked between him and the ring, then I nodded my assent and he slipped it in. The scene ended. I sighed, the final scene was to take place at a real beach.
