บท 9: Chapter 9: Mr hot stuff

Leo was still mesmerized and engrossed in his distraction, staring at her like a hopeless perverted teenager.

Who the hell lusts over a woman who he would barely recognize in the morning.

" Mr. Kane?" One of his business associates called back his attention.

"Hmm?" He hummed as he turned to look at the clients. He knew he was being rude by intensionally ignoring them, not that he cared, they were starting to give him a migraine.

Navaya noticed a man in the VIP lounge who had many bodyguards around him staring at her friend like she was the most fascinating thing on earth.

It wasn't uncommon for guys to hit on girls in clubs but the way he was looking at Becca made her raise a brow. The dude wasn't even blinking and his eyes were sharp like lasers.

She looked at Becca, seeing as she was still oblivious to the stares she was receiving from behind, she whispered into Becca's ear.

" Come sit beside me." Navaya whispered to Becca.

Navaya knew Becca wouldn't believe her if she said that a rich-looking man was staring at her like she was an ice cream cone on a hot Sunday, so she hatched a plan. She was going to let Becca see it herself. It was as if Becca didn't know how irresistible she truly was.

" What? Why?" Becca asked

" Because I want you to sit beside me. Is it a crime?" Navaya gave an incomplete answer and threw another question back to her friend.

"No, I was just wondering where Ace would sit when he gets here. I'm sure he would like to sit beside you." Becca answered honestly. Ace was Navaya's boyfriend, who said he would be joining them tonight and she was sure he would love to sit next to her friend, so what's with Navaya asking her to sit beside her?

Becca stared at Navaya for a few seconds, then sighed and sat down next to her. Navaya looked at Becca in that pretty dress again and smiled.

" Where did you find that dress? I can't seem to stop looking at it. You said you didn't want to attract attention but your dress says a different thing." Navaya said to her bestie. The dress was indeed very sexy but not as sexy as the person wearing it and Navaya can't help but be in a daze by her friend's beauty. No wonder the heavily guarded VIP couldn't stop staring at her.

" Stop exaggerating, it isn't even that pretty." Becca modestly replied, thinking Navaya was being such a drama queen.

" Not even that pretty?! Girl, it's making me question my sexuality here and you're saying it isn't that pretty?! Do you know what pretty means?" Navaya questioned and Becca's face turned a little red with embarrassment.

God! Why was her friend like this? Does she have to say everything that comes to her head?

Navaya had always been a very outspoken young woman, but sometimes her mouth could be as dangerous as her dirty mind. If it wasn't for the fact that Becca had already gotten used to the way her friend randomly said brazen words, she would have choked for sure.

" Don't be ridiculous, if you became gay because of me, Ace would have my head. You already know he doesn't like me." Becca had seen the secret glares the guy always sends her way when the three of them are together.

It was uncomfortable and disturbing but she realized that it might be because he wanted to have Navaya's time all to himself. He was a basketball player so he wasn't always in town and whenever he was, Navaya would invite the three of them to hang out together and Becca was starting to feel like a third wheel. She wasn't dumb to get the message.

" Now you are the one who's exaggerating. Ace doesn't dislike you, he's just well... what's the word? Uhmm, it's at the tip of my tongue." She put her hand on her chin like she was thinking of something. " Aha! Insecure, yes that's the word! He's insecure because he can't win against you when it comes to my heart but he's harmless." She affirmed and Becca nodded. It was good to know that she wasn't on Ace's hit list.

" Do you like the dress? Do you want me to get you one just like it?" Becca asked, completely changing the topic as talking about people when they weren't around was considered rude.

" Hell no! You have already worn it in public and if people see me in it, they would start comparing who wore it better. Even though it's gonna be me, I still don't wanna hurt your feelings." Navaya refused and Becca laughed at the reason her friend gave.

Becca's eyes started wandering around as she looked around the club. She look at the people in the upper lounge and her gaze settled on a particular group of people. Navaya saw Becca was looking at the upper lounge then shifted her friend's head to the direction of the man who was staring at her earlier.

He was the most attractive person in the whole damn place and was so easily noticeable because he had an insane amount of bodyguards. About ten able-bodied men stood next to him as he was sitting talking to two men in front of him. He looked like royalty, refined and poised with the way he crossed one ankle over his knee. He looked like a greek god, all-powerful and mighty with a suit hugging his muscular body. He was just so thrilling to look at.

" Woah, he's hot as fuck!" Becca thought out loud, which made Navaya giggle despite being a little disappointed that he wasn't looking at her friend anymore but now talking to his people.

" Yeah, but the price of his suit is even hotter," Navaya said and took a sip from her glass. As it seemed Mr hottie in an expensive suit wasn't looking at Becca anymore, she would make Becca look at him. In her mind she was doing Becca a favor, if Becca and Mr hot stuff hit it off together or maybe start dating each other then she and Becca could go on double date together without her feeling like the third wheel. It was a full-proof plan. Becca was hot, he was hot, what could go wrong?

" You're at it again, aren't you? Trying to set me up with rich hot guys?" Becca questioned with a skeptical look on her face and Navaya smirked.

" Oh, so you think he's hot, don't you? Interesting." She said in a calculated voice and drank from her glass again. 'Very interesting indeed.' She thought.

" Of course he is, even a blind person would know that." Becca's response made Navaya's smirk grow even wider into a wicked smile. Becca found herself still staring up at the gorgeous figure because she couldn't drag her eyes off him. How could she? He was so eye-catching that she didn't even know when she started drooling. His beauty was so disrespectful. Like God! Why was he so hot.

" Instead of sitting here staring at him and swimming in your drool, why don't you just go over there and say hi?" Navaya suggested and Becca gasped.

" I can't go over there when there are so many bodies around him, I'll just embarrass myself. So no thanks." Becca was quick to refuse and instantly turned to look somewhere else as going over there seemed like a terrible idea.

It was a suicide mission and she would rather be shot dead than go there.

Navaya shook her head and let out a sigh. Becca needed to learn how to take the first initiative, you know, take the bull by its horns and stop waiting for nature to take its course.
