Frustrated
Nora POV I glared at the woman standing before me, before finally asking her in. The look on Ivan’s face showed that he must know her from somewhere.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Hi Ivan.” She smiled at my brother.
“Miss Becky… wh.. what are you doing here?” He stuttered, still looking all surprised. Don’t tell me my brother is now doing older women? This woman here, look like she’s forty, or even more than.
“I came to pick you up. The party has been rescheduled to 6pm, and it’s almost time.” She smiled widely at him.
Ivan glanced at me, and I gave him an ‘what’s going on’ look.
“Ok, just wait for me here, I’ll be back.” He said to her, before standing up and walking up the stairs.
I stared at him confusingly, till he was out of sight, and taking my attention to Nathan, I found out that he was having same expression as me.
Giving the woman one last glare, I walked over to the staircase, before scurrying up the stairs. I walked through the hallway, till I got to his room, and placed a soft knock on his door.
“Come in.” His voice came on from inside, and without wasting time, I pushed the door opened, and stormed inside.
“What’s going on Ivan?” I asked confusingly.
“I’ll explain everything to you when I get back, but for now, let’s not talk about this, I’ll be back.” He said, then kissed my forehead and hugged me, before storming out of the room, leaving me to sort myself out.
“Just what’s going on here?” I groaned angrily, before storming out of the room too… Ivan POV
This is the most annoying event of my life. How could she just barge into my house like that? “Honestly miss Becky, what you did is really annoying. For heaven sake, you should’ve called and tell me on the phone, than giving me a surprise visit. What if I was with my girlfriend? You would’ve barged in on us like that, and make her misunderstand us?” I huffed angrily, and looked out of the window. She didn’t say a word to me, as she was just busy doing what I don’t know on his phone, acting like I wasn’t even there. The rest of the journey was silent, till we got to the venue. The car was parked neatly at the parking lot, and I stepped out, waiting for her to come out, so we can this done with. I don’t know how I’m gonna explain this whole thing to Nora, but that can wait for now. “Shall we?” She smiled widely at me. “Sure.” I said with a straight face, as I carved my hand, and she hung hers in it, before we walk side by side to the entrance door, after which we were ushered in. “Don’t make that face.” She said, not sparing me a glance. I rolled my eyes. Stepping into the very large hall, which had so many people, not just an ordinary poor people, but calibers of wealthy and influenced people. We walked to one of the seats, and sat down opposite each other. “Care for a drink ma’am?” One of the waiters asked, holding a tray, which had some glasses on it, filled to the brim. She smiled and took two cocktails from the tray, before handing me one. “You look cute as always.” She smiled at me seductively. “Thanks.” I replied simply, and took a sip from my drink. The loud music filled the entire place, with some people, dancing on the dance floor in pairs. “Cmon, let me introduce you to some of my friends.” She said and dragged me up, without even waiting to hear what I would say. “Miss Becky.” A woman in her mid fifties, smiled at her. “Mrs Roberto, it’s been a long time.” Miss Becky smiled back at her, while I just looked away, minding my business. I just can’t wait to get out of here. “Meet my boyfriend Mrs Roberto.” She smiled, as she put her hand around my shoulder. What! How dare she introduce me as her boyfriend? Is she trying to make a fool of me or something? “I’m not…” “Oh! You want to use the restroom? That’s the way, go ahead baby, or you can ask one of the waiters to show you the way.” She cut me off, pointing at a particular direction. I know she was just trying to shut me up from talking, but it’s a good thing anyways, I was already getting frustrated and irritated by this woman. Letting out a sigh, I took the direction, which she gave me, and I finally arrived at the hallway. It was really difficult, getting pass the crowd to this place. I heaved a sigh of relief, as I finally got to the restroom. Just when I was about pushing the door opened, I heard a familiar voice behind me, and tilting my head to look where it was coming from, I was shocked to see Lilian Sanchez, looking at me with a smile on her face. “Hi Ivan.” She smiled widely, as she catwalked to me. She looked beautiful in her blue gown, which stopped before her knees, clinging to her body, a pair of blue heeled shoes were fitted in her feet, her long red hair, was curled up, as it cascaded down her shoulders. “Lilian!” I called surprisingly, as I turned fully and faced her. “What are you doing here?” I asked surprisingly, giving her a suspicious look. “Well, it’s the birthday party of one of my dad’s clients, he’s kinda busy with business, so he sent me here instead. So, what are you doing here too?” She asked. “Well… I just came to you know…” “Don’t worry, I understand, you don’t have to explain.” She smiled widely at me. “So, do you mind, we go to the balcony, and have some fresh air? I’m bored here, and I see you are too. I hope your girlfriend won’t make a drama out of it, right?” She asked with a knowing smile on her face. Gosh! Girlfriend my foot! “Cmon let’s go.” I nodded for her to lead the way. Turning around to go, I was welcomed with an angry looking Miss Becky, glaring hard at Lilian. What! What’s she doing here?…
