Chapter 125 - The MET Gala
Chapter 125 - The MET Gala
Olivia POV
I wake up and blink my eyes a couple of times to adjust to the bright light invading our bedroom. I look
around and I find Raphael still asleep next to me. He’s laying on his stomach with the pillow on top of
his head. He probably woke up before me and decided it was too early to open his eyes and went back
to sleep.
He is not wearing a t-shirt and his boxer shorts are hanging dangerously low. I can see his well-shaped
ass and I smiled.
I must’ve done something right with my life to have this Greek god looking of a man in bed with me. He
is so damn sexy. His dark aura and his bad-boy vibes were what attracted me the most. I can’t even
believe how happy he makes me. He might be this ruthless businessman for the outside people, but for
me, he was my adored and sweet future husband. We obviously had our ups and downs but I wouldn’t
change it for the world. That made us strong as a couple. Our little family is the most precious thing I
could ever ask for.
But today.... today is a dream becoming true. I am going to the MET Gala with the most amazing dress.
The beauty squad will be here around 10 to get me ready and then we have a town SUV coming to
pick us up. Inside has plenty of space of the team to do the last touch-ups on my hair and makeup.
I sit on the bed and I get up to go to the bathroom when I feel Raphael’s arms wrapping around my
waist and pulling me back to bed. I let out a small scream and a giggle when my back hits the mattress.
“Where do you think you’re going?” - he asks and I look at him now hovering over me.
“To the bathroom to have a shower” - I say and Raphael smiles
“Am I invited?” - he asks while he kisses me
“We need to save water don’t we?” - I tell him while Raphael stands up and walks around the bed.
“I’ll start the water” - he says walking into the bathroom while I get up and drop my PJs on the floor.
I smile looking at myself in the mirror. I learned to be confident about my curvy body. I was always too
self-conscious to show off like this. But hey. It’s only my future husband in there and I’m sure he will like
it.
I walk into the bathroom and Raphael is naked brushing his teeth. I stand next to him on my side of the
sink and I start brushing my teeth as well. His eyes are glued on my body through the mirror and I can
see the grin on his face. I can see all the dirty thoughts going through his head.
“Save it for later” - I say as I walk past him into the walk-in shower.
Raphael walks behind me and his hands fall onto my hips while we both get soaked with the water.
“Keep your hands to your self mister” - I say letting out a giggle when his hand find my ass and give it a
big squeeze.
“Are you sure?” - he says while he kisses my neck from behind. I can feel his bulging cock against my
ass.
I turn around to face him and wrap my arms around his neck.
“We need to get ready” - I say grabbing the shower gel that is behind him. I put some on the sponge
and start washing his body.
I drop the sponge and allow my hands to touch every inch of his body. His perfect body. His muscles
covered in tattoos, his hairy chest that drives me nuts. Raphael turns while I wash his back and ass. I
kneel so I can ask his legs.
“You missed something” - he says now turning to face me and all I can see is his erect cock right in
front of me.
My mouth starts watering and I let out a deep breath wrapping my hand around his cock and starting to
rub it. Up and down and then onto his balls. I can feel Raphael’s breath change and become heavier.
His hand fall on my head and he guides my mouth to suck him off. I can’t resist and wrap my mouth
around him. I can feel him growing even bigger inside my mouth.
His hands guide me up and down his cock while my hand is busy playing with his balls. Once I stop I
take it out and start sucking and licking his balls. Raphael let’s out a loud moan and I take it as
pleasing. My hand keep touching his length. Up and down. I know he is close to explode so I take him
in my mouth again and not long after he comes in my mouth. Like a good girl, I swallow it all and show
him my empty mouth.
Raphael lifts me up and hugs me tight while I wrap my legs around his waist.
“You do that so well” - he says while his mouth falls on my nipple.
“Thanks, baby, but I really need to get ready” - I say and he growls.
“Five more minutes” - he says
“It never takes only five minutes, I don’t want to be late and I still want to go see the kids” - I say
unwrapping my legs and putting my feet on the floor.
“Not fair” - he says while he kisses me
“Life is unfair” - I tell him while I wash my body and hair quickly.
When I finish I wrap a towel around my body and exit the shower while Raphael stays there a little
longer.
I walk into the dressing room grabbing a set of cream loungewear.
After I get dressed I wrap my hair onto a messy bun on top of my hair. No need for makeup. I walk out
and Raphael is sitting in the bed. Naked.
“Sure I can’t tempt you?” - he asks and I smile looking at his erection that is back to say hello.
“Oh, I am sure, save your strength for later, after the Gala” - I tell him while I walk out of the bedroom
towards the elevator to go to Maria’s house. The kids went to stay there last night and we will have
today and tomorrow without kids so we can just enjoy the Gala.
As I wait for Maria to open the door I can hear all the giggles come from inside. Zane is standing
outside of the door and he smiles at me while the giggles keep going.
Maria opens the door.
“Hello love” - she says with a smile walking back to the kids while I close the door behind me.
I see Gabe sitting on the sofa with a colouring book. Mike and Mel are watching tv and giggling while
Maria tickles them.
I sit next to Gabe and he looks at me but dismisses me instantly looking back into his book. He must
feel like everyone is abandoning him. His mother passed away. His grandmother doesn’t want anything
to do with him because of Raphael. Raphael is extremely busy and Gabe doesn’t talk to him as much
anymore.
“Can I help?” - I ask and Gane just shrugs his shoulders.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
I grab a blue pencil and start colouring the sky. We stay in silence for a little longer. He is in his own
world and I don’t want to disturb him.
A few minutes later Gabe stops colouring and looks at me.
“Are you okay sweetie?” - I ask him
“Is daddy coming?” - he asks and I smile.
“Do you want him to come and see you?”
Gabe nods with his head.
“Then he is coming” - I say while I stand up.
“Just going to use the bathroom” - I say. Once I get out of sight I message Raphael.
09.03
“Gabe wants to see you”
09:04
“Are you sure?”
09:04
“He asked if you were coming to see him”
09:05
“I’m coming”
I walk back into the living room and now Gabe is on the floor with his siblings. Maria walks back with
some snacks and they all smile at the sight of food.
Whoever saw them like this would think we never feed them.
Raphael walks through the door and both Mike and Olivia run towards him. Gabe doesn’t move just
looks at Raphael.
He puts them both on the floor after a little cuddle and walks to Gabe.
“Hi buddy”
“Hi” - Gabe says and Raphael smiles.
It’s the first time in a while since Gane spoke to Raphael.
“Wanna go to the park?” - Raphael asks him and he nods.
They both leave and I say goodbye to the kids and go back to the penthouse because the beauty
squad is already there.
I am extremely nervous.
The red carpet starts at 5:30 but we need to get out of the penthouse shortly. We are going to one of
Raphael’s hotels to get ready.
Maria is coming to stay with the kids here. Although they have everything they need in her house
Raphael prefers them here. It’s safer.
He says the security system in Maria’s house needs an update. I agree. I prefer them here.
I grab my phone and I excuse myself to call Raphael letting him know we are going to the hotel and he
can meet us there later on. For now, will be some chit chat and champagne.
“Hello love” - he says as he answers the phone
“I’m heading to the hotel now” - I say
“Okay, I’ll meet you there in a couple of hours, take the security with you” - he says
“I will, love you” - I say
“Love you too” - Raphael says it back and the entire team start whistling and clapping.
“Girl, you definitely tamed the Shark” - Marco says while he wraps his arm around mine while we leave
the penthouse.
“I know” - I say and we all giggle.
The limo is waiting for us at the door of the building and the security opens the door for us.
“Compliments from Mr Lockwood” - he says and we all look at each other and smile getting in the limo.
Champagne was served in the limo while we had a little tour of New York. We drove past the MET and
everything was getting ready. The tent outside the steps where the car would park for us to leave so no
one from the outside could see us coming in, the red carpet, was spectacular. There was already a lot
of paparazzi outside.
I can’t believe in a few hours I will be going up those steps wearing the most amazing Dior dress.
Once we stop in front of the hotel paparazzi start taking photos and shouting questions. We all ignored
them and walked in. We were greeted by the hotel general manager that gave us the car to the
penthouse royal suit. Once inside we all look around, everything is beautiful and white.
“Raphael outdid himself” - Amanda says and I nod with a smile plastered on my face.
“First things first, you will have a relaxing bath with some salts and relax while we prep everything here
for you” - Amanda says and I smile
“You are the boss” - I tell her while I walk to the bathroom to start running the bath.
We throw some salts and bubbles. Marco brings a flute of champagne and places it on the side of the
massive tub, lights up some candles and puts on relaxing songs.
“In” - he says walking out of the bathroom.
I undress and get in the bath. As I am soaking I remember I didn’t bring my phone with me, I could use
it right now but I ignore that and close my eyes relaxing my body before the events of today.
Don’t know how long after I hear a soft knock on the door
“We are ready for you whenever you are” - Amanda says with her head inside the bathroom.
“I’ll be there in a minute “ - I say while I stand up and wrap a fluffy towel around my body.
“There’s a robe for you near the door” - she says and I walk to the door and there’s a fluffy white robe
with my initials engraved.
I dry myself and then wrap the robe around my body. Oh my god, this feels like heaven.
I walk out and the twins are waiting for me so they can start on my hair and makeup while Amanda
tackles manicure and pedicure.
“I didn’t know you would be doing my nails” - I say
“I don’t know anyone better than me” - she says
“She’s a perfectionist” - Marco says while he gets the dress all ready for me
I feel so spoiled. This is amazing.
After my make up is done and I look at myself in the mirror I don’t even recognise myself. All the
colours used were nudes and black on my eyes. They are popping. The green is met with the black
and makes my eyes stand out perfectly. Still a simple but beautiful makeup. I would never be able to
accomplish this myself. I look so beautiful.
My nails are with french manicure and my hair is styled to perfection making believe I have shoulder-
length hair.
I don’t know how Bella did this but it looks amazing.
Exactly at the same time, I am looking at myself in the mirror Raphael walks in and stops on his tracks
looking at me.
“You look beautiful “ - he says with a smile
“Thank you” - I say turning around to look at him.
“You are beautiful “ - he says and I feel my face going bright red.
“Raphael, time for your suit” - Marco says
“I’ll just have a quick shower and shave” - he says
“No shaving” - Marco says and we both look at each other.
“Okay” - Raphael says
“This caveman look he has going on with the beard makes him even more desirable” - Marco says with
a grin.
“I know” - I say while I stand up and walk to the dressing area where another two girls are waiting for
me.
I didn’t even notice them coming in.
“These are my helpers” - Marco says dismissing them
“Hi” - I say and none of them replies.
“They won’t talk, they are here to learn” - Marco says and I nod.
After what felt hours of pulling and pushing and getting my boobs in the right place the dress is on. I
look at myself in the mirror and I can’t believe it’s me.
The dress is black and cream colours. The dress goes to my feet in a beautiful evening gown.
This is the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen. It’s sleeveless but not tacky, has a see-through layer
and on top, a cream almost golden layer with flowers engraved just a little darker than the original
dress colour. On top there’s a black layer with black flowers so wrong just the right parts, allowing the
cream and gold to shine under it.
Raphael walks out of the bathroom exactly when a tiara is put on my head and stilettos are waiting for
me.
“Fuck me” - Raphael lets out walking around just in his boxer shorts.
His hair is wet and messy, hot.
Final touches are done to my make up while Raphael is dressed on his beautiful black Dior suit with a
cream and gold scarf.
“You two will be the talk of the town” - Amanda says taking some photos without phones.
“Phones not allowed” - Raphael says and we both leave them on the hotel room while we walk out of
the penthouse to the private elevator that will take us straight to the car that will drive us to the event.
I couldn’t be more nervous. My hands are shaking on my lap and Raphael holds my hand tight.
“You okay?” - he asks
“Just a little nervous “ - I tell him.
Raphael gives my hand a little squeeze and when we arrive and the car stops inside the tent Amanda,
Marco and the twins tackle both me and Raphael making us look perfect.
Once outside I can hear all the clicks and shouts from the press.
“Olivia, Raphael, here” - someone shouts and we look at them posing for the photo.
“Olivia who are you wearing?” - someone else asks
“Dior” - I let out with a smile and Raphael holds me tighter.
“You look stunning” - he whispers in my ear and I smile looking at him
“That’s it, don’t move” - someone shoring takes the photos. Once they finish we are told by one of the
organisers to start going up the steps.
Raphael holds me tight as I am shaking and afraid I might fall.
Once we get in there are loads of famous people talking and gathering around the tables.
“Mr And Miss Lockwood, this way to your table” - the hostess says and starts guiding us through the
crowd inside to a table right in the middle.
Raphael pulls the chair out for me to sit and I smile taking my place. He sits next to me and that’s when
I hear a familiar voice behind me.
“You didn’t think we would leave you alone did you?” - I hear and I look around to find Anna and my
brother, John and his boyfriend. All elegantly dressed and smiling.
“How?” - I ask
“Raphael bought the table and the tickets” - Ana says smiling and giving me a tight hug.
“Seriously?” - I ask still in shock
“I knew you were gonna need some backup” - Raphael says
“You must’ve spent a fortune” - I say
“A small one yeah” - he says with a smile - “but it is worth it to see that smile on our face”
“So, how was it? The red carpet?” - Anna asks
“You didn’t?”
“No, we are not famous so we walked inside before the red carpet event started”
“Oh” - I say a little in shock still.
I and Anna keep gossiping while the man talks about god know what. I see so many famous people.
It’s absolutely a dream come true.
The dinner was gorgeous. Everything was really well executed and well served. The serving staff were
super attentive and smily. Everything was perfect.
After dinner that’s when the magic happens and the partying starts, there’s plenty of parry’s all around
town that we were invited to attend, we stayed a little longer looking at the exhibitions and then we
danced and had a lot to drink in the dancing area.
“I’m going to the bathroom” - Raphael says leaving me with Anna and John.
“May I have this dance?” - I hear a Spanish accent behind me and I see a beautiful tanned man with
dark brown eyes and an impeccable suit smiling at me.
“Sure” - I say and Anna nods and smiles
“Raphael won’t like it” - John says and I smile.
We were dancing and I could feel Raphael’s blue eyes burning into my skin while the guy's hand were
all over my body. It started to make me feel uncomfortable.
“I should go” - I say
“Just a little longer guapa” - he says - “has anyone told you how beautiful you are?” - he asks
“My fiancé every day” - I reply and that’s when I see Raphael walking towards us.
“Excuse me” - he says trying not to make a scene.
“Can’t you see she is busy?” - the guy says
“Take your hands off of my fiancé right now or you will lose them” - Raphael says while he pulls me
behind him and the guy takes one step back.
“Mr Lockwood, I am sorry, I. I. Didn’t know” - he says and walks away
I let out a giggle and Raphael wraps his arms around me.
“I think it’s time for us to go change for the after-party” - he says with his hand on my lower back.
He is jealous and I am loving it.
Raphael escorts me to the car so we can go back to the hotel and change to our party clothes and I
can feel his hand on my lower back guiding me.
Once we get in the car Raphael grabs me and sits me on top of him so I straddle him.
“You were a very naughty girl” - he says now lifting my dress and touching my bare skin making my
heart race and my face go bright red.
