Fucking Venice
Left alone in their apartment Clarice was bored as fuck so she decided to do something to entertain herself. First, she made herself some ice cream and then some popcorn, and when that wasn't enough she ordered some pizza. She usually eats when she is bored.
Her stomach filled and achy she decided to do something else to occupy herself. She used her phone to watch some TikTok videos after hours spent on that she got up to take some shower and get ready to turn in but when she turned her radio for some nightly music the jams coming from it was one she couldn't ignore and so instead of going for her shower she started dancing.
She wasn't such a great dancer but dance and music have been away for her to born some energy or a means of escape anytime she is sad. She was moving her waist and vibing to the music when she felt someone watching her.
She turned and got the shit scared out of her at the sight of her gorgeous roommate leaning against the door. Not that it showed in her expression that she was scared.
She blushed furiously when Evangel commented on her dancing. This is a part of her that she keeps to herself, never has she danced in front of anyone before.
" So how was the party? " she asked moving to relax back on the bed as she cooled down from her mild exertion, allowing the air conditioner in the room to dry off the sweat she produced with her dancing.
Evangel pulled off her shoes and came to join Clarice on the bed. " Horrible, " she said sitting with her both feet tucked under her.
Clarice frowned.
" What happened? "
" Trent Wade happened. "
Clarice's brow arched up.
" You mean your high school boyfriend?! what is he doing at your father's party? Didn't know you guys were still close? " Clarice fired successively with interest.
" We are not, " Evangel snapped and then apologized when Clarice brow furrowed at her.
" Look, Reese, I need a favor from you, " she implored, with a pleading look.
" Ok, " Clarice dragged out adjusting her position on the bed. Evangel rarely asked for help and she couldn't help wondering what kind of favor her very independent best friend could need from her. " What is the favor? "
" Will you be my girlfriend? " Evangel rushed out nervously, her breath hanging in her throat as she waited for a response from Clarice.
An indulging smile appeared on Clarice's face. " Babe, you don't need to ask me to be your girlfriend, we are already best pals and we are girls, " Clarice joked thinking her best friend was just pulling her legs.
Evangel didn't crack a smile and just maintained her serious expression. " I am not talking about that. I am asking you to be my girlfriend, like pretend we are in a relationship, " Evangel explained calmly while on the inside her heart was pounding hard against her ribs.
Clarice stared and then threw her head back and burst into laughter. She laughed so hard as if Evangel just cracked the funniest joke in history and when she realized that her friend wasn't laughing along all the laughter froze on her face. " You are serious? " she exclaimed in a high tone.
Evangel nodded rendering Clarice speechless. She opened her mouth severally to say something but nothing came out until she forced the words out.
" Let me get this straight, you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend despite both of us not being a lesbian. " Evangel nodded. " Why? " Clarice asked calmly sounding as confused as she looked
Evangel released a resigned sigh. " Because I don't want to marry Trenton. "
" What! I think you have to tell me everything from the beginning cause you are confusing the hell out of me. "
Evangel sighed again. She knew it was a lot to dump on her friend but she desperately needs her help. She doesn't think she could carry out the charade with a total stranger.
" Long story short. Trent wants my dad's company and his families to merge and that will only happen if he marries me, " Evangel explained.
" So why don't you just tell your dad you don't want to. The man loves the shit out of you and I don't think he will push you into marrying someone you don't love especially if he learns about what he did to you in high school. "
Evangel looked away.
" Is not that simple. Once my dad has a notion in his head is hard to get him to change his mind, also, I don't want him to know that Trent and I shared a history. "
" So you rather deceive him by pretending to be what you are not! "
Evangel kept her eyes away not looking at Clarice. " I will take being a lesbian over being married to that bastard any day any time, " Evangel said in a determined voice.
" Honey, I think you are making a mistake, " Clarice said trying to be the voice of reason, but the expression on Evangel's face told her that there was no reasoning with the blonde.
" And here I thought is only your dad that doesn't let go of an idea once is in his head. "
Evangel looked up sharply. " What is that supposed to mean? "
" Nothing and you have to give me time to think about this, also I have to talk with Rome," Clarice said getting up from the bed to remove her clothing for a shower.
" Why don't you hold off on telling your boyfriend and also I am gonna need an answer before tomorrow evening, " Evangel said.
Clarice's hand at the tail of her blouse paused as she gave her friend a suspicious look. " Why? "
" Well, we are having dinner with dad tomorrow evening, " Evangel whispered slowly not looking at her best friend.
" What! you have got to be kidding me, "Clarice gasped out in disbelief. She has yet to assimilate the fact that her best friend wants her to pretend to be her girlfriend and now she has to act lovey-dovey in front of her dad tomorrow.
" I kid you not, " Evangel joked trying for a little bit of humor which was not appreciated by her best friend who just glared at her before walking out of the room.
Evangel threw herself back on the bed. Hopes the plan works she mumbled to herself before getting up to go to her room.
*******
In the old man's study room Trent sat back down on the seat he vacated a few hours ago. He was wondering why the old man wanted to speak to him.
Hope he is not planning to cancel their arrangement cause he will be screwed. Not only does he not have any other plans of redeeming his company from the huge depth they are in, but he will also lose his seat as the president of the company and have his brother Chase lord it over him at any given chance.
Before the man could speak, Trent spoke. " Sir, I know you are not buying the BS about Angel being a lesbian. I know for a fact that she is not. " Trent immediately regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. How does he always put his foot in his mouth?
Steven Clark's eyes narrowed.
" What are you getting at, young man? " he growled.
Fuck, Trent caused it in his mind. How is he going to tella man that has his future in his hand that he fucked his daughter as a teenager?
" Angel and I dated in high school, " he stuttered out nervously. His heart pounding, he waited for the explosion.
Steven Clark stared intensely at the young man, his face serious and emotionless before it broke into a wide smile. " That is fantastic, " he cried heartily surprising the young man sitting in front of him.
Trent gaped at the older man like he went crazy. This was not the reaction he was used to getting from the fathers of the girls he has fucked before. Not that he has ever had the misfortune of meeting a lot of them, no make that none this was his first.
" What are you saying, sir? " Trent asked slowly not yet believing the older man's happy look.
Steven's smile grew wider.
" What I am saying is that it shouldn't be difficult for you to convince Angel to marry you, since you have dated in the first place. "
" What! so does that mean the deal is still on the table, " Trent, gasped out unable to believe the turnaround of things.
" Yes, my son, and that is if you could get Evangel to agree to the marriage, because without her consent well let just say there will be no merger, " Steven said relaxing back on his seat.
" Wow, " Trent exclaimed unable to believe his luck. " How long do I have to convince her? "
" A month. "
That was too long. No woman has ever been able to withstand his charm and if there was one thing he learned this night it was that Evangel still has feelings for him.
" I will get right on with it, " Trent said getting to his feet, along with the old man.
" To a future great partnership, " Steven said shaking the young man's hand.
With a smile, Trent took his hand in a firm handshake before turning for the door. His hand just touched the handle when the old man spoke again.
" Trenton, " Steven called out.
Trent turned to hear what he has to say.
" Don't hurt my little girl or there will be no corner on this earth to hide you from my wrath, " Steven said in a serious tone filled with the promise of full filling his words.
" I won't sir, " Trent promised and walked out of the door. Outside the sturdy door, Trent's face broke into a huge smile, with the old man back up, he can now get into the plans of seducing Evangel again.
Once the door closed down behind the young man Steven relaxed back in his chair with a burning Cuban cigar between his fingers a melancholy look on his face.
With the recent news, he got from his doctor he needed to make sure his daughter is settled with someone who will love and protect her and be there for her when he is gone. He owes his wife that much.
He took a drag of his cigar and released the dark smoke up to the ceiling. He gave himself few minutes to wallow in his study before he got to his feet to rejoin the party.
Trent walked back into the party with a confident swagger, elated that things seems to be walking out for him. He stood at the door searching with his eyes for the familiar blonde hair and when he couldn't find made his way further into the room looking.
" She is gone, " a familiar voice spoke up behind him.
" What? " Trent exclaimed turning around to face the person that just spoke.
" I said that my sister is gone, " Venice repeated with a smile.
" I wasn't looking for her, " Trent denied with a slight blush on his face.
" Yeah right, " Venice mocked sarcastically not believing him.
" So what is going on between you and Evangel? " she asked with an air of curiosity.
" Nothing, " Trent said turning to pour himself a glass of champagne from the serving table. He took the full glass to his lips and drowned it all, choking on the drink when Venice said something.
" You do know that I might be blonde but I have perfect working brain cells, " Venice said with a sweet innocent smile a far cry from the hungry look in her eyes as she watched Trent's sturdy neck and prominent Adam's apple move as he drank his wine.
" I do not doubt your intelligence but whatever happened between me and Evangel is in the past, " Trent muttered trying to sound believable. He didn't know why he didn't just tell the other woman about Evangel being his fiancee. Guess he will keep that particular information to himself for now.
" Whatever, do you want to get out of this place? " Venice asked giving him a coy look that did nothing to hide what she has in mind for the both of them.
Trent poured himself another drink as he battled within himself about going home with the lady. He did not doubt that if he lives with the woman right now they will be in his house fucking but he didn't want to start his campaign of winning Evangel over to his side by fucking her cousin.
He drowned the drink he just poured as his brain tried to warn him of the big temptation standing few feet away from him, but something else was speaking louder than his brain.
He looked at the hot blonde who was a picture of perfect innocence but her eyes were one of someone who will be wild in the sheets and he can't wait to find out. When it comes to fucking a hot woman his brain has never be the one giving the orders. " Let go, " he said leading the way.
As the two made their way across the grounds of the party towards the door they were unaware of the eyes that we're tracking them. The eyes followed till the two entered Trent's car and drove away.
