Chapter 19

"Well I am sorry but you are not important in my life to the point that I should care about your comments or what you think of me" I said this time looking in his eyes. Something flashed but then disappeared fast. "Then if you won't consider the fact that I don't want you near Gregorio at all or to see you even near that bar tender I will make them bankrupt don't taste my patience samah I do things the way I want them to" he said his voice getting lower making every single sell in my body vibrate. "I do not care. I have a life to live waiting for me behind the doors that are preventing me to move" I said in the same low voice. My intention was not to scare him seriously I would be dumb to think of that. My intentions were not to make other people hear out arguments because he was going beyond limits in my private life. "Remember samah I have a say in it Lesley probably spread the news that I am about to marry so you still have a hand to hold and an announcement to make." He said going to his food. I couldn't believe he brought that up. He should have cleared that up He had more power than I had I was sure he cleaned those lies. "If then it is like that you should start by giving me an example because it didn't look so when you were probably about to jump on each other you and that woman at the bar so if you want me to follow your rules I also get to make some." I said finishing my food. I couldn't go to college I met up with this controlling selfish jerk. We probably argued the whole time we were in the restaurant. It wasnt a good vibe at all. "Let go samah you have got a gala to attend" he said giving me his hand to stand up. He was taking me to a gala. Again he was making decisions for me and I knew that I couldn't escape this one. I had a bad feeling about it. I didn't take his hand. Aviva~~~ I didn't get why Jonas couldn't send only one person. Like five of them were doing my hair three of them doing my makeup and two more busy removing the white dress which was in a transparent paper bag. I thought twelve more were doing Ellanor and Saria's make up because I didn't see them for the whole day. Boy was I wrong. "Okay dressing done it is almost time Mr Mendez is down the stairs you can go we will try to arrange this mess we did in your room" she said opening my bedroom door for me. My heart started drumming in my chest as I started wondering of what he would think of me if he saw me out there. Why did I even care. There was no time for thinking too much because as the lady said it was almost time and I didn't want to be the reason Jonas would be late for the event. I spotted him talking to Mrs Griffins who still had her uniform on. I lifted my dress a little high enough to prevent it from tripping me on the stairs and started descending slowly with every step that I took. I finally made it at the bottom of the stairs as Abelardo started approaching me. "you look absolutely beautiful tonight Aviva" Jonas whispered in my ear causing goosebumps to appear on my already covered arms. "Why Thank you" I said looking down. I didn't know if it was a facade or not. * * * * * The gala wasn't what I imagined it to be at all. Yes I expected people wearing fancy clothes but what I didn't expect was a red carpet full of lights as photographers took many many pictures too many for life seriously. "Just act normal because this normally take time. You can't just walk inside without taking any pictures. Don't answer any questions okay." he whispered in my ear as he led me to the red carpet. The only answer he got from me was a nod assuring him that I got the information and I would follow his lead. "Mendel are you getting married?" "Mendel is she your new fiancé?" "Mendel is she your wife?" "Mendel is she pregnant?" "Mendel who is she?" "Mendel are you ready to move on after what happened with you and Maeve's relationship?" Those were the questions that were thrown in our way. Were they suppose to ask private questions like the one who asked if I was pregnant my eyes got wider that a soccer ball itself. "I will be introducing myself to some people if you don't like that I suggest you go wait for me at that table it has our names o it maybe Saria and Ellanor might join you in a while" he said pointing a finger to a nicely decorated table with black white and gold material covering the tables and chairs giving them a fancy look. I was a socialy awkward person so he saved my life telling me to go sit somewhere that I could get a drink. I walked to the table and took a sit as a waiter walked to me keeping a glass of champagne next to me with a smile. I said a small thanks returning the same smile that he gave me then started taking small sips on my drink. It was starting to bore me and I had no company at all. My butt was starting to pain As I walked I saw a small room in a corner where it looked like a small door for drinks that was not visible if you didn't pay too much attention to the walls. That was what I did I paid attention to the walls because I was really bored.
