CHAPTER ELEVEN
“Age of disobedience”

“So as I have said before that you're an amazing artist and people love your work.”

Marcus says with his hands clasped together. He inhales sharply,and I cringe.

The anticipation was killing me.

Marcus called me today that he have this surprise for me. I'm just so confused right now

“You finally got a new car.”

I said looking at him with excitement. He grins shortly before dropping his smile.

“No I love my car and I don't need a new one.”

He exclaimed dramatically his dimples showing as I reminded myself that I'm seeing someone.

“God,when are you going to accept the fact that your car is old.”

He shook his head, biting his lips,he says

“Not old it's antique.”

I just rolled my eyes at his comment as I sipped the coffee. I have taken a half day today and was at the gallery with Marcus.

Well he owned the gallery and sells paintings of different artists to the buyers who wants them.

“Well since you're so bad at guessing I'll just drop the bomb.”

I mentally prepared myself as I turned over to face him.

“That painting of yours the hummingbird one's is sold and the buyer was pretty much impressed by your work,”he paused to see if I was listening,“he wants to go to this gala with you were a lot businessmen are coming he would you like to get to know more of the art industry.”

“Are you kidding me I'm not going and I don't even know that guy.”

I said as I dropped his hands that were holding mine. He looked at me amusingly.

“Paris,it's an opportunity of a life time you can't just say no to it.”

“But,Marcus you have to understand.”

“No buts young lady you're not arguing with me over this.”

He sounds impatient, I look at him for a few moment barely even a proper minute and then took a deep breath.

“Okay I'm going but I don't have a dress.”

I prompted standing to my feet as he just chuckles mocking the air out of me.

“Don't worry about it that could be arranged. I'll ask Merlin for it.”

He said and some how he looked more excited than I was.

I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him as he called Merlin who was still at work.

As the call ended he dropped the cellphone and turned to look at me.

“Don't look at me like that,P it makes feel like I'm this cruel mother sending her daughter to this boring dinner party. ”

And it cracked me up I broke into a hysteric fit of laughter. Warm tear gathered at the corner of both my eyes as he just laughed with me.

Just like the old times, just like when we both jobless students who were trying to find themselves.

And we did our love for art.

•••

“You look amazing now just loosen up a little it's just for two hours.”

Merlin said as her hands rested on my shoulders easing them a little. I looked at her through the mirror as she gestured me to smile.

“Thank you so much for the dress,Mer but I never asked you to come you know I can get ready myself. ”

I spoke removing her hands from my shoulders and standing up then making my way towards the couch I sat over it.

Crouching down to pick up the heels I wore them. As she soon came and stood in front of me.

“Do you think I would want to come and waste my perfect Friday night. Marcus called me asking to make sure that you go to the gala.”

She said with her arms crossed over her chest her strawberish-blonde hair tied up into a loose bun giving a clear view of her neckline that was trailed with some freshly formed hickeys.

As much I love Merlin but I hate to say that I kinda don't like what she does sleeping with every man that just winks at her more worst smiles at her.

She is been used and I don't know when will she understand see the truth.

“Were you with someone last night. ”

I asked the question but more like a fact that I was telling her of.

“Yeah and this time I think he's the one.”

She says as she sat beside me. A huge smile plastered over her lips,one thing that I love about Merlin is when ever she smiles her eyes smile with her.

God she's beautiful and I want her to be with someone who treasures her.

“Tell me about it.”

I spoke and she did not even wait a second and started speaking.

“Oh,Paris he's amazing an excellent cook and he can play guitar. He wears suite most of the time. He's very rich. ”

She says and I listened to her as she further continued to speak.

“He's quite a man you know and I've went on a two or three dates with him. All of them outdoor but he plans to take me to his penthouse soon.”

She says and couldn't help but envy her a little Taehyung and I have been seeing each other for three weeks now and we have only went on date once. A we barely get to see each other he's always busy with work.

Today when I called him asking if we could spend the night together he denied saying that he's busy with work.

Who works at night?

“I'm happy for you,Mer and hope that he's really  the one for you. ”

I said as I embraced her into a hug.

“Yeah.”

She says as we pull back. I wanted to ask the name of the guy but we soon hear the door bell ringing.

“Oh,my God your date is here. ”

She said excitedly as she urges me stand up and walk to the door. Then goes inside the bedroom to give me some privacy.

Pushing the door open I was looking at the ground my eyes stared at his leather shoes well at least he's a good taste in buy the perfect pair of shoes? Then up to his royal-blue tuxedo matched with a plain white shirt and blood-red tie.

But my eyes widened when I my gaze landed on his face. Our eyes met and a quick smirk soon appeared over his lips.

“You.”

I said out loud my finger pointed at him I felt myself burning up with anger.

“So you're Paris?”

He asked at which I nodded my head. I saw him taking a deep breath as he pushed his hair back then licked his lips.

What was this man. A God ?

“Well isn't it great that we met again?”

He says arching his perfect brows at me as I just took deep sigh of mock irritation as I starred back at the guy whom I met the previous night at the club.

“I'm not going anywhere with you. ”

I said I turned to close the door but he held it before time. His grip strong as he it pulled it back causing me to loose my balance and fall right into the arms of the stranger. Who held me

“oh,don't you love me so much that you can't dare but to fall into my arms. ”

I immediately pushed back stepping two feet away from him. He held my gaze,impassively as his eyes ran through the attire I clad.

I shivered

“It's just one night, love and from where I see it you won't even know before the night ends. ”

He says impatiently running fingers through his hair.

“Well if I knew that it was you I would've have refused. ”

“I'm not a serial-killer on run who could harm you,love just some guy who likes you and wishes to go on this gala with you. But if you insist I won't think of this as a date but a business meeting where you'll get to meet some great people from the art industry. It's a golden chance. ”

He said as he smiled at the last part his dimple showing.

“Well then let me get my coat. ”

I spoke as I turned to take my coat and clutch that was on the shelf next to the door.

“That wasn't that bad you actually believed me. And yeah I'm Namjoon.”

He said as he offers me his arm as we both walked towards the elevator. Our arms interlocked together. I breathe in to the expensive scent of cologne.

“You said to think of this as a golden chance and for some reason I just want this night to work. So I can prove others that I can live on my own without my brother's money.”

He looked at me as I have said something great. From the looks of it he clearly must have mistaken me for a girl who lives to party and waste her money on expensive make-up and manicures.

“It will when you'll have me by your side. ”

And tried not react over it. He pressed the ground floor button. As I turned away and glanced at the mirror to catch him staring at me.
