Aspiring girlfriend

I looked towards the owner of the voice and realized it was the lady I found unfamiliar, but what was with her tone?

"Ohh Diana, she's Dom's admirer," Michael said as if trying trying to keep our relationship as platonic as possible. I was suspicious for a moment, but thinking back to Dominique's cold and distant attitude, I quickly dispelled those reprobate thoughts.

"My name is Olivana…what's yours?" I said as I let out my hand for a handshake, maintaining my politeness.

"Dom's admirer? Her? Are you crazy?!" she shrieked ignoring my greeting. I was stunned for a moment before I carefully retracted my outstretched hand. This was enough hint that she did not like me and enough reason for me to save the formalities.

"And what's wrong with me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, trying to keep my anger at bay. 

"What isn't wrong with you?" she retorted, her eyes full of unconcealed spitefulness.

"Okay okay we should get going if we want to arrive on time" Michael said trying to ease the tension. I cussed at her inwardly while maintaining a neutral expression. 

"Ohh that's right. Dom, Lets go" she said with a seductive smile which was a stark contrast to her former expression, as she made her way forward. I squinted my eyes at her before hooking my arm under that of Dominique's.

"Shall we?" I asked with a bright smile, silently hoping he wouldn't humiliate me.

"Sure" he replied to my utter surprise. Oh my goodness! He didn't humiliate me! Oh my goodness! He answered back! I jumped with excitement inwardly. Revealing a grin as we walked out, catching a glimpse of Diana's shocked turn anger expression. So satisfactory!

Dominique and I got into a black Bentley while Diana and Michael got into a blue sports car. U could tell Diana's eyes were shooting daggers as I shared the same car with Dominique.

We drove to the airport which amazed me cos I didn't expect we'll be going out of the country.when we got there, some men in black saluted at Dominique and Michael probably, as they then escorted us to a private Jet. Oh my goodness! I was freaked out, how rich were these guys?!

As we approached the private jet, the sleek, glossed exterior gleamed under the sun, a striking contrast against the vibrant blue sky. The aircraft stood proudly on the tarmac, its streamlined design exuding an aura of sophistication and power. I could feel my heart race with anticipation, each step bringing me closer to a world of luxury that few ever experienced.

The staircase, lined with plush carpeting, invited us up, each step feeling like a passage into a different realm. As we ascended, the sound of the engines hummed softly, a reminder of the venture that awaited. The door swung open, revealing an interior that took my breath away. 

Inside, the cabin was a masterpiece of design, bathed in warm, ambient light that emphasized the rich leather seats and elegant wood finishes. The plush seating arrangements were arranged in a way that stimulated conversation, with a small table set for refreshments, embellished with crystal glasses and delicate hors d'oeuvres. 

I marveled at the personal touches—the artwork on the walls, the soft cashmere throws draped over the seats, and the state-of-the-art entertainment system that promised endless choices for relaxation. The air was infused with a subtle scent of luxury, a blend of leather and something floral that made me feel instantly at ease.

As we stepped inside, the door closed behind us with a soft thud, sealing us in a world where time felt suspended. I trailed behind Dominique my eyes still wandering in amazement.

"Someone should learn to at least act classy and stop drooling" I heard Diana's spiteful words which were thrown at me. I knew how to avoid trouble but when it came knocking right at my door, I knew how to handle it.

"Ohh how long have you been practicing that then?" I asked Calmly.

"What do you mean?" she asked almost with a scowl.

" Well I mean, you act classy so I reckon it took you a long time to do it…some tips might be helpful" I said making sure my tone sounded as innocent as I looked.

"Y-you what do you think of me?!" she asked already seething with rage.

"A woman that thinks too highly of herself?" I asked back feigning a confusion. It seemed like Dominique couldn't care less as he already sat down, his eyes set on his phone while Michael was speaking with the pilots in the cockpit.

Diana probably realizing she couldn't win this argument, snorted before turning towards Dominique. 

"What are you so busy with?" she asked, her expression softening as she sat next to him. A frown started to form on my face but soon after I smirked due to the fact that Dominique ignored her.

I walked towards them and leaned towards Dominique while peeking at his phone not minding the presence of Diana. I could see her expression shift through the side of my eyes. Just what I wanted, I couldn't help but squeal inwardly. 

"Just a bunch of boring old numbers?" I said half-statement, half-question not detecting that my cleavage was exposed, perceptible to Dominique.

"They aren't boring but compared to those, I guess they are" He replied cooly his gaze landing on my chest. I was confused for a moment until I looked down and to my greatest stupefaction.

"Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed before raising myself up, my cheeks already turning red. 

"I-I didn't mean to I-I promise, I was just going to see what you were doing on your phone and forgot I was wearing a strapless gown and I know you might think I'm lying—" 

"So inexperienced… how interesting" He said in his husky voice cutting me off. I was still wondering what he meant, my face also cooling down.

"Where you wanna sit?" he asked ceasing my running thoughts.

"Umm, anywhere you are sitting" I said matter-of-factly with my expectant gaze.

"Okay" he replied simply as he stood up before grabbing my hand. His big and strong hand wrapping my small and soft own. How cute!

"Dom, how can you?" Diana finally voiced out with her eyes wide open and her fists clenched. She looked hurt and pitiful, too bad but, I didn't feel any pity for her.

"You mean giving my aspiring girlfriend a chance to spend time with me?" he asked, his face showing no expression like as if he was just talking about the weather. On the other hand I was the exact opposite, my face flushed with a wide grin adding to my youth. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside as I stared at our entwined hands.

Now I understand why they say Love is like an abyss, cause I was falling, and falling deeply at that. 

"Aspiring g-girlfriend?" Diana asked, her voice choked up. 

However Dominique, a man of few words just turned around ignoring her. I stared at his physique as he led us towards the back. I just let him lead the way, my head full of thoughts of him.

He finally let go of my hand which left me a little disappointed, my hand dropping to my side. Quickly composing myself, I met his dark, profound eyes staring at me as if expecting me to do something.

"Is something on my face?" I asked, confusion visible on my face.

"Even a child will know she's meant to sit" he said as he he raised his chin a bit higher with a slight tilt, exposing his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. I felt my throat run dry and my heart slows down. Why did I find that sexy?! I groaned inwardly.

"Oops" I said with a giggle immediately sitting down. I looked up at him patting the seat next to me.

"Quick! Sit down" I said with a funny smile.

"You should rest, the flight might take a while," He said, sitting next to me Immediately taking a sip of the white wine on the small table set. I tried doing the same but he held my hand mid-way.

"No, you don't… take a nap Instead," he said as his gaze fell on me.

"But I'm so thirsty!" I whined pouting my lips.

"And wine is your solution?" he asked, bringing me to the realization of how stupid I was. I watched as he tore his gaze from me and opened a small compartment bringing out a bottled water.

"Have this and rest" he said domineeringly before taking out his phone. I could only sulk in silence as I downed half of the water. I soon felt sleepy, the environment gradually darkening.

"Hey wake up, we've landed" I heard a deep masculine voice whispering beside me. I slowly opened my eyes trying to adapt to the light. I was shocked stuff as I made contact with those eyes which felt like they were pulling me in, but what shocked me was our Proximity. I mean our lips were like 10cm apart.

I quickly put some distance between us, as I downed the remaining water trying to cool my already red face. 

"Thank your lipstick" I heard him say as he stood up, leaving me confused.
