After that sweet encounter in his study. Currently I am sitting on the bed while reading a book. Although my thoughts keeps shifting to Vaughn and his shirtless body. It doesn't matter how many times I see him like that but every time it makes me blush.

And I can't ignore the fact that he finally complimented me. Just thinking about it I felt a smile touches my lips.

Gosh I am acting like a high school girl.

"Why are you smiling? Thinking about me." A voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up and saw Vaughn leaning against the door a playful smirk tugging at his lips.

I was busy staring at him, but quickly averted on realizing what he said just now.

"I wasn't thinking about you", I lied and stood up.

He raised an eyebrow "Oh really?", he said and stepped towards me. I nodded as I felt my voice stuck in my throat. That's not good.

Vaughn steps forward again, and I 'm now cornered against his bed. I am held captive by his fascinating blue orbs which reminds me of the majestic blue ocean. I didn't realized when I lost my balance and fell onto the mattress.

Vaughn towers me, his face leaning closer with every second passing by.

My heart beats faster then a rocket.

I could feel the heat radiating from his body. His piercing eyes cut through me sharply, there was something about his gaze that would make you drop dead, literally.

He slowly leans down at my eyelevel, and whispered "Get ready we are going out" with that he moved away and stood up. I also composed myself and sat up.

"Where are we going?", I asked my voice sounded like I am out of breath.

"Natalie invited us to hangout with her and his brother at a club", he said without feeling necessary to mention Jeremy's name.

"You know she hit me intentionally", I said in a now serious tone.

"Oh come on, Miss Lawrence she feel sorry that's why she invited us." He said in an annoyed tone.

So he could trust her but not me. What a supportive husband I have. Note the sarcasm.

"Do you like her?", I asked in a low voice. He turned towards me and came closer.

"Are you feeling jealous,Miss Lawrence?", he asked in a playful teasing tone.

"What?! No", I quickly defended although I myself can't trust me.

Vaughn studies me for a moment before he spoke,"Then I don't feel the need to explain myself", he said in a plain tone and left.

I sighed although I really wanted to ask him again but refrained myself.

'Tonight I will show you how sexy I can be , Mr Vaughn Rodriguez '. I thought.

I went inside the closet and chose to wear a short red mini dress which stops at my mid thigh. It is sleeveless and shows my curves perfectly. It has a halter neckline and has slits at my waist showing my smooth pale skin. Although I don't like to wear short dresses but to grab his attention and win his heart, I will.

I then put on a strawberry lip gloss, eyeliner which enhanced my green orbs and also some light foundation . I then straightened my auburn hairs and wore my expansive golden watch around my wrist.

I wore my black plums. And grabbed my black clutch. I looked at the mirror and was satisfied with my choice. Lets see if now he thinks of me sexy or not.

I went outside and saw Vaughn who was already dressed up in a navy blue shirt and dark jeans. His messy chocolate brown hairs were neatly styled back. He looked as handsome as usual.

He was leaning against the car and looked up when he noticed me. His eyes widen as he checked me out his eyes traveled from my naked legs then up to the slits at my waist and further upto my face. I moved closer to him while hiding my smile. I could feel his eyes stopped at my lips and I licked them intentionally, instantly his neck muscles move as he swallows.

Does he now think me as a sexy woman?

Does he now thinks of me attractive?

Maybe I should act more Sexier and seductive.

These thoughts rang in my mind as for the first time Vaughn looked at me.....as a woman not a little girl....at least I think.

I touched his arm and felt him tensed. Great, My plan is working.

"Let's go", I said in sweet voice which breaks him from his trance. I wonder what he is thinking.

He averted his gaze and opened the car door for me, I sat inside and muttered a thank you. He then took the driver's seat.

The entire drive went in silence although I could feel Vaughn's intense gaze on me time to time. And I tried hard not to smile.

We entered the club. As loud music was playing in the background. I could feel the gaze of other guys on me which made me feel uncomfortable and I think Vaughn noticed it too as he suddenly kept his arm around my waist and pulled me towards him. I could feel his warmth and musculine cologne which relaxes me.

We saw Natalie and Jeremy sitting at a couch. Natalie was wearing a very revealing green dress her hairs were curled while Jeremy was wearing a black shirt and jeans,they saw us and greeted us.

Jeremy came to hug me but Vaughn pulled me closer to him so he stopped and spoke-"Wow Aveliene you look hot", he said and I felt Vaughn's hold tighten on me.

"Thanks Jeremy", I replied politely.

"Vaughn how do I look?" Natalie asked and touched his arm in flirting manner.

I felt my blood boiled but I calmed myself.

"You look fine", Vaughn said without showing any interest and not even looking at her as his gaze was fixed on me. I could feel my cheeks heat up.

We then took our seats. Jeremy was talking about football while Natalie was drooling over Vaughn with dreamy eyes.

I could feel Vaughn's eyes on me so I moved my hairs from right to left side, exposing my right shoulder. Through my peripheral vision I saw him gulped and so I continued with my silent flirting.

"Aveliene will you dance with me?" Jeremy said and I glanced at Vaughn who was listening to Natalie's nonsense talks but his attention was at me. I internally smiled.

"Of course Jeremy ", I said and grabbed his arm and went towards the dance floor.

We danced together with the music although I could feel Vaughn eyes on my every move.

"Some one is feeling jealous ", my inner conscience spoke.

I smiled but it faded when I saw him dancing with Natalie now. I could see how Natalie was dancing too close to him and her arms were clinging around his neck, I felt anger and some other emotion building inside me. But I didn't react when I saw Vaughn glancing at me.

It is nine o'clock in the night and we are currently at a restaurant to have dinner as, Jeremy forced us to have dinner with him and Natalie.

Vaughn is sitting beside me although Natalie tried to sit with him but I was fast. So now Natalie and Jeremy are sitting opposite to us.

Our food came as we eat silently while

Natalie was telling us about her ambition to become a model.

I touched Vaughn's arm as he looked at me "Can I take a bite from your fish?" I asked innocently yet seductively. He nodded and I smiled and took a piece of fish from his plate with my fork. I felt his gaze on me so I began my seductive plan, I put my lips around the piece of fish and gently bite it. A little gravy fell on my finger so I slowly licked it and moaned. He tensed and I internally smirked.

I then crossed my legs and my dress pulled up a little showing my sexy legs.

"Damn!" , I heard him cursed under his breath. Now I know what effect I am having on him. I looked at Jeremy and Natalie who thankfully still were busy talking with eachother.

"What happened?" I asked innocently.

"Its nothing.", He replied and I continued my innocent flirting. I felt him observing my every action. Suddenly my clutch fell down and I bend to pick it up. I leaned and through my peripheral vision I felt his gaze on my exposed back.

I then got up but accidently my fork fell down or I say intentionally. The gravy got spilled over my neck. I quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped it. I then looked up at him innocently and asked," Is there still gravy left on my neck?". I passed him the tissue,"Please wipe it, I can't see it", I said and turned to give him more access to my neck and shoulder.

He hesitantly took the tissue and gently wiped off the gravy. His fingers gently brushed my skin as electricity passes through my body. I felt him tensed as he gulped and looked away. "Thank you", I replied and put my hand on his thigh as he looked at me with shocked almost.

"You are looking handsome today", I said with an innocent smile. To which he muttered a 'thanks' and smiled then looked away, I smiled to see Vaughn who always looks intimidate right now has his cheeks flustered.

I could see how hard he is refraining to show his emotions. It somehow makes him look cute.

I bit my lip and turned away and slowly left my lip from under my teeth and gave a sensual look. Then took a sip from my drink. I felt Vaughn gulped as he stood up.

"I am going to the washroom", he said quickly and left. I can see how hard he is trying to control himself. As I mentally chuckle.

We eat in silence until Natalie broke it.

"I will be back in a minute", she said left.

Jeremy and I talked for a while, I waited but Vaughn hasn't returned yet nor Natalie. I felt suspicious.

"I will go and check them", I said and Jeremy nodded and gave me a smile.

I made my way towards the washroom. I don't know why but I wasn't getting any good vibes. I reached the washroom corridoor and as I was about to turn I heard some voices. I stopped in my tracks.

"I know you want me. Don't deny it no one is here."Instantly I recognized it as Natalie's voice.

I quickly turned and saw the sight which literally broke my heart.

Vaughn was leaning against the wall while Natalie's arms were clinging around his neck. Their faces were inches apart as they were about to kiss when I cleared my throat. There faces snapped in my direction.

Natalie's expression was annoyed while Vaughn's expression flickered from surprised to guilt.

He quickly pushed Natalie and moved towards me.

"Its not what you think it is", he said to me .But how can I deny what I saw.

My tears threatened to fall. I saw Natalie wickedly smirking at me. I can't let her see me vulnerable so I quickly turned and left. I could hear Vaughn's voice behind me trying to stop me but I can't. How can I?

I thought he finally started liking me but no. He likes her more than me.

Once a player always a player. He hated me so much that he is cheating on me for his revenge.

And here I am hoping for his love and affection. I think he was right I am really very optimistic which resulted in me hurting. How ironic!

I passed through our table. Jeremy saw my changed mood and his eyes turned to concerned.

"I am leaving Jeremy thanks for inviting", I said and he nodded while understanding that I was not in a mood to talk.

Vaughn followed me till we reached our car. I don't want to create a scene at restaurant so I told him to take me home. To which he wants to say something but nodded.

The entire ride Vaughn tried to talk to me but I ignored him.

I wanted this night to be special for us. But see how it turned out.
