Chapter 18 Kiss Her!
Natalie’s POV
The party day;
I dressed in bright sticky red leather pants, and a silver top that showed my flat stomach. I lifted my hair in a ponytail and put on red lipstick similar to the color of my pants.
I didn’t wear much makeup and I didn’t want to wear a gown that would impede my movement as I was here for work, not for fun.
The venue was teeming with celebrities and the business community. The first idea of the party was that it would be somehow limited to a certain number of the closest guests from Debbie’s relatives and friends. Nevertheless, her father changed the plan, intending to announce the business cooperation between his company and Merrin Group.
However, my job was to cover and reflect the romantic relationship between Rafael and Debbie to the world. To focus on the personal side of Rafael’s life. This was what the audience liked to see and hear. Everybody likes gossip.
I was a little anxious though. I didn’t know how I’d ask Rafael to do and take intimate positions with Debbie for the shooting.
‘Why did I suggest that kind of promotion, for God’s sake!?’ I blamed myself.
I took a selfie and posted it on my Instagram account, trying to focus on something else rather than just standing here and waiting.
I stared at my picture and wondered how a man could make a woman change! I had never worn such bold colours and revealing clothes.
And here I am. When Rafael showed his interest in me, I started to love showing my feminine side. I guess the woman begins highlighting her charm to attract and capture the attention of the man she loves.
“You look stunning. I’m sure you will make a lot of heads turn and many eyes will be green with envy” aunt Tobi teased me. We were waiting for Rafael and Debbie to arrive.
I laughed, “Don’t exaggerate, aunty! Look at all these women with branded gowns!”
Four cameramen were standing next to us ready for my instructions at any minute. They were from various international news agencies, and came to cover the event. They had the freedom to photograph anything at the party, except for shooting Rafael and Debbie. They must be under my guidance.
Grandma didn’t attend the event, she apologized to Debbie and her parents. Her blood pressure suddenly increased.
The party was crowded with Debbie’s relatives and friends, all of whom were from the wealthy class!
I was holding a glass of champagne, trying to comfort myself and reduce the anxiety I was feeling. I sighed and sipped from my glass when I felt his warm breath behind my ear and his deep whispering tone saying, “Don’t get drunk! I want you to be aware of everything I will do to you in bed tonight, wify”
Goosebumps ran through my veins. I turned around right away, and saw him passing behind me holding Debbie’s hand.
My heart jumped violently inside my heart. Butterflies were raving and dancing in my stomach. It had been a week since the last time I saw him. Now I realized how much I missed him.
I stared at both of them in a daze while they were walking slowly, stopping here and there greeting the guests.
I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. He was literally charming. His gray suit and the white shirt contrasted with his bronze skin, which he acquired from the sun’s rays. Makes him look like he was straight out of a Greek mythology book.
As he walked, you would notice his back and arm muscles. His long muscular legs. I can’t believe all of this will be mine after a few hours!
A shiver ran down my spine.
A high aura of masculinity surrounds him makes any woman feel her feminine energy. Makes any woman want to taste his lips. To be under his muscular body.
And here we have the proof, all women’s eyes fixed on him in admiration. Yes, I can feel their pain though.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Who was thinking that such a successful handsome gentleman was hiding a monster under his skin?
“Miss Natalie!” Dave, one of the cameramen said, grabbing me from my fancy thoughts.
“I think we should follow them, so we could take vivid pictures,” he added when I looked back at him.
I cleared my throat while my cheeks flushed, “Sure, let’s go”
We headed to where Rafael and Debbie were standing. I filled my lungs with air and let it out slowly in order to take over my feelings.
The cameramen started their work instantly in proficiency, and I started directing them to take the kind of photos we needed. I didn’t bring the rest of my team because I didn’t want to be hindered by our large number. Tess was one call away. I alerted her before to be ready in case I needed her by any means.
Whatever I imagined, I didn’t realize before how difficult my job today was until now! I had to ask Rafael to touch or hold Debbie intimately.
“Put your arms around her shoulders and hold her near your chest” I said in a neutral tone, although I guess it was a little harsh. Whenever my gaze meets Rafael’s gaze, I see a sarcastic smile on his lips.
He raised an eyebrow and stared at me. But eventually, without delay, he did everything I asked him to do.
This situation was killing me. The whole situation was awkward and overwhelming for us.
Except for Debbie though. She was leaning her body all the time on Rafael’s, trying to emphasize to each woman that Rafael was hers. I could tell that from the possessiveness way she was acting towards him.
And this made me pissed off. The overwhelming feeling increased inside me.
“I want the pictures to tell that we are in deep love with each other” Debbie said, wrapping her arms around Rafael’s neck.
I hardly held myself from rolling my eyes on her.
Ignoring her endless requests, I moved a step forward and grabbed Rafael’s hand from his pocket and placed it on Debbie’s slender waist.
“Kiss her!” I said in a cold tone, and he stared at me with dark eyes.
