Amy walked through the grand hotel doors to the ballroom, where a silent auction was taking place from a painting collection of a once famous artist, what was it about artist death that made everyone suddenly want a piece of his work. Looking around Amy spotted the person she was looking for surrounded by a group of elder wealthy men was Jake, they were all laughing hysterically over something he had just said
how Jake managed to get in with these pristine crowed was beyond her understanding, it had only been a week of being Melisa and Vince and already they had become part of an exclusive high class group who knew the right people to talk to in government, however they still had a long way to go Amy thought as she ventured over to Jake and his groupies. "Vince" Amy spoke with the sweetest smile she could muster, "darling" Jake replied as he turned and hugged her "I told you not to call me that" Amy whispered though her smiling teeth so that only Jake could hear. "Would you rather pumpkin or sweetheart" Amy laughed "fine but two can play this game" and pulled away while still keeping Jakes hand around her waist "oh Vinie poo bear, you're so sweet" Amy spoke louder than usually just to make sure the 10 odd men around them could hear everything "sometimes you're so sweet and sensitive that I think I'm the man in this relationship, you know he absolutely loves the notebook, cried all the way through it right babe" all the men laughed along with Amy and Jake smiled and gripped the side of Amy's waist so that it hurt for a moment "oh come on now Mel don't give away all my secrets" "sorry Vinie you know me, will you come get a drink with me" she said while resting a hand on his chest. Jake looked down for a moment at her hand a moment of silence filled the air, Amy frowned what was wrong with him "Vinie" Amy said a little louder "hur what oh yeah of course, sorry i was just so mesmerized by your beauty tonight, doesn't my girl look great" he said to the older they all nodded and answered yes and yeahs in response, Amy played the giggling girlfriend and thanked them "well if you excuse us" she finally said and they walked away to one of the empty round tables.
"Are you alright Jake" Amy whispered "yeah sorry I wasn't thinking, hey um amy" "Yeah" she said scanning the room "um..never mind I'll tell you later look whose starting to come over, 2 o'clock " Amy glanced to see Greg Puter stand up from his table and begin the walk to theirs. Greg Puter was their greatest lead so far he was in direct contact with the the government workers He was CEO of WESPA confinements Amy wasn't really sure what his job was, but what she did know was that he was besties with Steve Williamson, the man who both Amy and Jake believed was behind all of the missing money if they could get in good with Greg Puter they could easily bring the whole fraud operation down in less than 2 months.
"have you met him officially yet" Amy asked Jake, "only once tonight I got introduced, but I think we might be in with him tonight apparently Mr puter is having a party in two days and we may be invited, hey and don't ever call me Vinie bear poo or whatever it was again" "oh come on you loved it" Amy teased. Jake suddenly started laughing hard and Amy frowned for a second before catching on "haha your so funny Mel jake said still laughing "now you laugh and smile like I said some cute" jake told her.
Amy gave him a shy smile before hitting jake playfully on the arm "oh vinie" just before Greg Pulter arrived at their table "hello, Mr Burham was it?" he asked, Jake turned in his chair to stand "yes, yes it is Mr Pulter how nie to see you again, may I introduce my wonderful fiance Melisa" Amy stood nervously and reached out her hand "hi there, its a pleasure to meet you" Pulter grabed Amy hands with one of his own sweaty hand and pulled her in a little closer "the pleasure is all mine" he said eyeing her up and down. It made Amy want to squirm in disgust but Amy just smiled "so Mr burham how long have you been with your fiance" everything that came out of this man's mouth was sleazy and gross Amy thought "well" jake spoke "we were together for 3 years before I proposed just 3 and a bit months ago" "how lovely" Pulter said looking Amy up and down again, the way he looked at her felt wrong like she was naked Amy quickly crossed her arms across her body, just as jake wrapped a arm around her shoulders.
Amy recoiled into the safety and warm of Jakes body she didn't know why but she immediately felt safer with him standing over her. Pulter seemed not to notice or care about her discomfit and continued speaking "I though I might invite you to a lovely gathering i'm having at my house this Thursday, what do you say" "we wouldn't miss it for the world Mr Pulter" jake said "please call me Greg" "of course" "here you go my address and time" pulter said pulling out a small piece of cardboard to jake "thank you see you ther greg' "I look forward to getting to know you both a litter better" pulter said directing his words again to Amy before walking off to talk to another couple
"blaaaa" Jake said recoiling his arm away from Amy and shaking his arms around as if he was trying to get water off himself "I feel like i need a shower after talking to him, i wonder if he's married awww imagine if he is ewwwww" "can we go now" Amy said in a small voice "i feel like he was undressing me" "oh he definitely was and not trying to hide it at all, come on" Jake said "we got what we came for an invitation so lets go, if i have to spend one more moment discussing the weather i'm going to shoot myself" Amy smilied as they quietly made their way to the exit before anyone realized they were gone.
