I started to get ready with the dress I chose, then the make-up I chose, and finished doing my hair. Took a while, but I managed to get it done.
When I looked back at the clock, it was 7:56. Luci got a call saying the car was ready. Nali was already dropped off at Mari's and Luci got done with her make-up. Someone knocked on our door.
I opened it to see a man with a nametag that read: "Bodyguard: Frank Jones"
"Are you Assisant Juarez?" He asked.
"No, I am her plus one guest. Lucille!" I called out to her. My cousin arrived, unplugging every flammable thing and locking everything else. When she was done, the man led us to a car and the driver us to the party location. The bodyguard got out and opened our door.
Paparazzi were surrounding us and questions were flying. We were escorted in and sat with her boss and his son, plus this dude named Jagged Stone and his manager.
But it was just us and Jagged Stone. His alligator was taking care of in another room. We chatted with them about things, mainly Rock and Roll. Then the rest of the guests came, not one of them was Lila Rossi. The doors were closed as the hist and his son appeared.
"Hello, everyone. I am Axel Masque. This is my son Alexander Masque. We are happy to see many show up. I created this event to donate to charity by selling items unused and out of the public eye! Such as the new iPhone 14, hoverboards with a manual, teleporters, and ancient relics." He announces. He seems like a happy man, kind too. The audience applauds him and the auctioneer goes up. Alex and his father sat between Jagged and me. I could feel Alex's hand on my leg.
I told my cousin about the restroom. I got up and walked my way. Alex promised to show the way. He followed me to an empty hallway. "May I ask why are you pursuing me?"
"Simple. You look challenging and I see you as a puzzle." He said, smirking. I smiled and pulled his ties. We were so close, I could kiss him.
"Listen, cupcake. You have no idea who you are messing with. I find you hot and smart, two turn-ons of mine. Keep it up and I may even give you a "prize"." I winked. I released his tie and blew him a kiss, walking back to the event. I ran into Audrey Bourgeois and her daughter Chloe Bourgeois. Chloe recognized me and walked to me.
"Hello, you know me as Chloe, one of Marinette's allies until Lila leaves. Thank you for protecting her for the last few days." She says to me in a tone of higher class. I smiled.
"I'm Luna Juarez, a new friend of hers and an enemy of Lila. I can tell we will have fun ruining Lila."
"Yeah. Yeah. I gotta go and hang out with my mother. Bye." She says, waving me off and leaving.
I spent the rest of the night, flirting with Alex, messaging Marinette about Nali, and even posting pictures of the gala on my insta. My cousin got wasted and we left soon after because I had school tomorrow morning. Her boss was kind enough to call a taxi for us when my cousin passed out on me. She kept drooling and sleep talking in the cab until we got home. I tipped the man a whole lot of money and carried this drunk into her bed.
"Hey, how was the party?" Marinette asked.
"I might get a boyfriend too. Also, I met Chloe, the other girl." I mentioned.
"Not surprised. Anali is already in bed and I'm off."
"Alright. Need me to walk you home?"
"No need, I live a few blocks away."
"Alright. I'll walk you out at least." I yawned. We chatted about this boy until she was outside the apartment complex. "Have a good night, Mari. Be safe."
We went separate paths. Mine lead to me putting on PJs and getting comfy on my bed.
