10 The big event 1 (2/2)

Shawn noticed my gaze and pulled off his arm from Julia's hug. ”Thank you for inviting me to your debut event Queenie.” he said.

”It's a pleasure Shawn. It was the least I can do for giving me an awesome night yesterday.” I said and smiled sweetly.

Julia's face twisted. ”You were together last night?” she asked.

”Oh yes, Shawn asked me out for dinner. He took me to a restaurant by the ocean. It was a great night and I enjoyed myself very much.” I said. Internally I was smirking.

Jealousy was evident in Julia's face. She clenched her fists hard.

”I'm happy you liked it.” Shawn smiled at me.

”Not just like, I loved it. Please take me out again next time.” I said to Shawn giggling. 'Flirting, two can play at that game.' I said to myself.

”I can show you good places around here in N city. After you have settled here just call me and I'll take you to many places.” Shawn said happily.

”That's a promise, okay?” I extended my arm. ”Pinky promise?” I have always made this gesture to Shawn way back when we're children. This is our way of binding each other to a promise and never break them.

He extended his arm and took my pinky and shaked it. ”It's a pinky promise.”

Shawn looks at me. He stares into my eyes. I can feel warmth from his gaze. Those dark blue eyes are always tempting me.

The intimacy between me and Shawn was evident that Julia tried to break it.

”The show is about to start. Shawn let me take you to your seat.” Julia said while taking Shawn's hand. He was surprised with Julia's sudden action.

”Julia, aren't you the star model in this event? Is it okay to be here and not at the back stage preparing?” I asked her sarcastically.

Julia was taken a back. She wasn't expecting me to retort.

”I will just take Shawn to his seat and will go straight back stage.” Julia was standing her ground looking at me like telling me 'Shawn's mine bitch, let go of him.'

”I was the one to invite Shawn here so I should be the one showing him to his seat. As a matter of fact he will be seating beside me.” I said while smiling at Julia. 'Touché bitch.' I thought.

I held Shawn's hand and pulled him. It was like a tag of war. Shawn pulled his hand from mine. My heart clenched and Julia gave a triumphant smile.

But Shawn's hand reached Julia's and pulled it off from him. ”I'm sorry Juls but I'm with Queenie right now. I promised to be her date for this night.” he said.

Julia was shocked. She can't believe Shawn picked this bitch and not her. In the past 8 years she was trying to win Shawn's heart. And she thought she had succeeded because she was the only woman Shawn had been close to and obeyed her every little whims.

”Julia Williams, there you are!” Mark shouted while running towards us. He took Julia and pulled her towards the back stage. ”Hi Queenie. I will be waiting for you later at the back stage. Give the girls some words of advise before starting.”

”Will do.” I said.

Shawn took my hand and held it softly. ”Let's go?” he asked.

My heart started fluttering. I feel his soft smooth hand in mine. I have forgotten this feeling and just started to remember it.

I looked at him and smiled. ”Yes. Thanks for coming by the way.” I said.

”The pleasure is all mine.” Shawn answered.

Julia saw this scene. She felt anger and jealousy. 'I have worked so hard to get Shawn. I won't let any bitch, specially one that looks like Jill steal him away from me.' Julia thought while clenching her fists, her nails digging thru her skin.
