3. The Launching Party B

"What?" Camille shouted looking at her like she was bluffing but when she saw the serious expression on Skylar's face. She stormed away angrily to the bar to get a drink.

"Drink to that Bitch" Skylar smiles proud of herself and turns to see Vino on the stage looking handsome as ever.

"Miss Skylar Evans" Mr Ernesto Cruz called her while everyone applauded for her. Apparently, while she and Camille were talking, Vino had told everyone that she painted the mural and now they all want to know while she chose the theme.

SKYLAR

I was so nervous when I got to the stage. Vino gave the Mic and held my hand a little bit like he was telling me that he was there for me. I smile happily, nobody has ever cared for me like this before but when I remember that he doesn't do employee work. I frown and walk away from him angrily.

"Good evening Ladies and gentlemen, the mural was painted by me and it tells the story of a young orphan boy who was alone in this world full of millions of people, this feeling made him lose hope and focus in life. But one day, a lady saw the potential in him and took him in, loved and nurtured him, thought him to believe in himself and he later became successful just because someone was there for him. The moral lesson of that story is that if you can't help someone, don't make them feel inferior and don't try to change how a person is because nobody is perfect and nobody is youer than you"

Everyone claps for me as I step down from the stage. Some were in tears. I walked to stand alone, cos Vino was with Camille and they were making out at the far corner of the hall where the light was dim.

"That was a very good mural, Miss Evans. I'm sure that every tourists that walk into this place will gain a thing or two from it" Mr Ernesto Cruz said as the emcee started calling the auction product. I walked out to the garden and sat at one swing in the corner gazing at the moon and stars as I tried to console my broken heart.

I didn't know that Vino followed me until he sat down beside me on the swing.

"That was a very good speech miss Evans" he said as he turned to face me, he saw the tears in my eyes and tried to wipe it, making me froze as his hand came in contact with my skin.

Electric current flows through me as he gazes down at me with lust in his eyes. And then he connected his lips with mine, sending butterflies to my stomach.

At first it was a slow kiss but it soon turned rough, his hands going to my boobs as I returned his kiss passionately.

The ringing of his phone brought us back to reality as Vino immediately stood up and left without saying anything. I sat down on the swing as I tried to bring back my erratic beating heart to normal. With tears forming in my eyes I stood up and went to where I parked my car and drove home.

VINO

I watch her as she walks to the stage. I can feel that she's nervous as I handed her the mic I held onto her hand a little bit trying to let her know that I was there for her but she walked angrily away from me and I don't even know why.

Immediately, I stepped away from the stage where I met Camille at the bar drinking.

"What's wrong with you Camille?" I scowl at her, she's always decent, I don't know what has gotten into her.

"Why don't you ask your whore employee?" she screams at me. I drag her to the far corner of the room where the light was dim, I notice Skylar's eyes on me, I turn to look at her staring at me. I slammed my lips on Camille 's and she was ready for me to take her there. I broke the kiss and turned to see Skylar walking to the garden. I followed her after I put Camille into the car and told her to wait for me.

On getting there, I met her sitting on a swing so I sat down beside her"That was a very good speech, Miss Evans' ' I complimented her but I noticed she wasn't saying anything, I turned to look at her and froze.

She was crying. My heart bled for her as I raised my hand to wipe the tears, immediately my hand connected with her soft skin, I froze electric current was scorching through me as I glimpsed the vulnerability in her.

I connected my lips with her, just wanting to comfort her but the kiss soon turned heated as I ran my hands through her boobs and she kissed my back passionately. The ringing of my phone brought me back to what I was doing, I walked away from her cos I didn't trust myself if I should stay another second in her presence.

I immediately went to my car, Camille was already sleeping as I drove us home.
