Now and Forever

We got to the Grand Royal Hotel where the event was being held. To say it was big was the understatement of the year. The limo stopped in front of a red carpet where there were flashes going off everywhere at the entrance of the hotel.

Bethany and her date got out first but without Bethany forgetting to throw me a glare then Alexis and her date then got out after them. Alexander stepped out of the limo and held his hand out for me. I put my hand in his and stepped out of the limo.

"Alexander! Alexander! Who's the woman that you've brought?!" Someone shouted amongst the crowd. "Alexander! Are you guys' relationship serious?!" Someone else shouted. "Don't answer any of their questions and just keep walking." Alexander whispered to me and placed a kiss on my temple. It's all a show Amelia! It's nothing serious! I shouted at myself in my head when butterflies exploded in my stomach.Alexander rested his hand on my lower back and then led me inside, away from the paparazzi.

The inside of the hotel was even more beautiful than I imagined. There was a huge chandelier hanging from the very tall ceiling and a waiting area that consisted of four leather couches facing each other and a black coffee table in the middle of them under it.

Alexander led me towards one of the elevators that were in the very far side of the lobby, his hand still on my lower back. As soon as we entered the elevator and was just the two of us, he removed his hand from my back and pressed a button on the elevator side, leaving a reasonable amount of space between us which left me disappointed. At this point I don't even know what's wrong with me.

After a long two minutes that consisted of a deafening silence, the elevator door finally dinged. The doors slid open and Alexander put his hand back on my lower back, leading me to the ball room.

We got to two double white doors that were opened by two men that were wearing matching white and black uniforms. "Thank you." I said and they just nodded in return.

The room was big and was filled with hundreds of people, some were dancing, some talking and others drinking. Alexander then put his hand around my waist and led us into the crowd.

"Alexander." A man with salt and pepper hair with wrinkles around his green eyes called. "Mr Richardson." Alexander put out his hand for a handshake. "And who's this beautiful lady here?" He asked after accepting the handshake and turning his head to look at me.

"This, is Amelia, my fiancée." Alexander said, putting on a tight smile. "Oh, so this is the famous Amelia." He said putting on a polite smile. "It's finally nice to meet you." He said and out his hand out for a handshake. "Thank you, it's nice to meet you too." I said while accepting the handshake. "Well, I'll leave you to alone, I must go attend to other guests. Have a good time." Mr Richardson said and walked away.

The next twenty minutes went on about Alexander introducing me to people and most women throwing him flirtatious looks and glaring at me.

I started shifting from one foot to another, my feet killing me from wearing heels. Alexander must have noticed my uncomfortable state because led me to the table that was reserved for us and went back to talking and cracking business deals with people.

I was glad when I spotted Audrey sitting at our table and made my way towards her. "My feet are killing me." I said when I sat in the chair next to her. "Tell me about it." She said massaging her foot. "Do you want a drink?" She asked taking a sip from her champagne glass. "I don't drink." I said taking off my heels and massaging my feet.

"Bummer, I was just about to ask you if you wanted a drink." Someone said from behind us. We both turned around to see a very good looking man but not as good looking as Alexander.
