Chapter 7 - Medusa

                                    

                                          
Dylan Lemiere
                          
We walked into the gala and sat down on our own seats. I turned to Matthew and he's already looking around hunting. We're single.. so what? We can hunt whoever we want. I looked around following Matthew's eyes and landed on one particular girl. 
                          
The brunette haired girl caught my eyes. She's currently laughing with her friends and do you what's captivating? Her red lips. Her beautiful blue eyes really caught my eyes too. Everything about her screams elegance and that's what I like in a girl. 
                          
I sipped my champagne and talked to some people first as I tried to keep my eyes on her. She walked towards the middle of the ballroom to take desserts. I excused myself from the other gentlemen and walked towards her. 
                          
"As expected.. girls like chocolates." I said as I took a glass of wine beside it.
                          
"As expected.. a man loves his wine." She answered without looking at me.
                          
"Who doesn't love it?" I asked and then she stood up straight looking at me.
                          
"That's right.. who doesn't love a really expensive wine? Especially for a man like you.. Dylan Lemiere." She smiled and looked at me with those seducing eyes. 
                          
"A man like me? What kind of man I am?"
                          
"You know.. rich.. spoiled.. crazy man.. etc etc.. and lastly.. handsome." She said as she took a bite of her macaroons.
                          
"Ah.. so that's how you describe me?"
                          
"Diana Osborn and I'll see you later." She smirked and then walked away.
                          
"Here I am thinking you have a thing with Lauren but I guess.. I'm wrong." Matthew said as he took a glass of wine too.
                          
"Lauren? Like you and Cailey?" I smirked and he chuckled.
                          
"Me and Cailey already over but you and Lauren.. are still on going." Matthew smirked.
                          
"She just need a shoulder to cry, that's all."
                          
"Oh right.. because of Blane. Blane broke her heart." Matthew said in a weird tone and I looked at him raising my eyebrows.
                          
"What are you trying to say?"
                          
"I suggest you not to be with Diana."
                          
"What do you know about her? She's hot." I scoffed.
                          
"She's just like medusa.. beautiful but.. crazily dangerous." Matthew said and then he left me. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. I walked back to my seat and talked to another people when suddenly I got a message.
                          
Lauren: 
How about you turn around.. 
                          
I raised my eyebrows seeing the text but I turned my head around to see Lauren in beautiful red dress with a V low cut on her chest showing.. oh god. She smiled widely and walked to me. She's beautiful and breathtaking. 
                          
"Lonely?" She asked as she walked to me. She hugged me and I hugged her back. I tensed when I feel her bare back on my hands. I never expected that she will wear a dress like this. I mean.. she never wears something this low cut and.. so backless before. She always wears sexy dresses but this time it's so revealing. Not to mention the thin fabric.. too. 
                          
"Why are you in Orlando?"
                          
"Marco was the one who supposed to go with Christian but that jerk face has something emergency happened. My dad sent me here instead.. why? Surprise or.. you hate me here?" She asked as she clings to me. I hate clingy girls and Lauren is one of them. She's hot.. sexy.. beautiful.. skillful.. smart.. but she's fragile and clingy. I kinda hate it.. to be honest.
                          
"Surprise." I said in an awkward way. 
                          
"Hey L, where's Chris and Marco?" Matthew asked and she hugged him.
                          
"Well.. Christian is there and Marco. He can't come here, he has an emergency."
                          
"What emergency?" Matt asked and I took this moment to slip away from them. I walked out to take some fresh air when suddenly someone decided to appear.
                          
"So you like to be alone?" Diana stood beside me and I turned to her. I chuckled and looked up to the sky.
                          
"Not exactly."
                          
"Well.. How about we get something to drink?" She asked.
                          
"Yeah sure.." I said and she gestured me to follow her. We walked together and she lead me into a room and it's a private bar. We sat on the bar side by side and ordered our drinks. When the bartender put the drinks on the table, I was going to take it but Diana stopped me.
                          
"I'm curious.." She said as she took of the two glasses.
                          
"Are you.. single or.. in a relationship?" She asked and then she sipped the drink slowly. I took the drink and drank it all in one shot.
                          
"Getting bold huh?" I smirked as I gestured the bartender to add my drink.
                          
"Of course, you're a special man. We all know that you're a Lemiere, Dylan. Every man wants to have that last name, don't you think?"
                          
"How about you? S or T?" I smirked and turned to her. Our eyes met and we stared into each other eyes for a few seconds. She put her hand on my chest and made circle with her index finger right on the middle of my chest.
                          
"Why should I tell you that?" She leaned closer to me and again.. I was captivated by her lips and her eyes. She's breathtakingly beautiful and attractive. There's somekind push and pull between us. 
                          
"I don't know.. because I don't care if you single or taken.. I'm just going to kiss you." I said and then I crashed my lips to hers. She circled her arms around my neck. I put my hands on her arms carressing it up and down. I pulled her seat closer to mine to deepen the kiss. 
                          
"That's enough for today." She suddenly pushed me and stopped me. I looked at her disbelief. 
                          
"We're not finish yet, Dylan. I will wait for your call." She got up from her seat and kissed my cheek.
                          
"I'll see you tomorrow at lunch."
