I was lucky that by the time I had gone back down that afternoon, Phillip was busy with chatting with somebody that he had totally forgotten where I went. He gave me the rest of the afternoon to freely roam the exhibits or do whatever. I got myself a snack and coffee then headed back up to my room, took a quick shower, thoughts of the events with Katie flooding my mind.
I took a quick nap as well. By 6 o'clock, I was fixing the tie around my neck and almost ready for the awarding dinner. I was the first at our table. Every now and the then, somebody would come along for a quick chat about the work or share ideas about the creative design process. I managed to learn a thing or two.
I turned my head and saw Katie walking towards the table. It was always amazing how she appeared so different, so decent and proper and fresh and all those perfect adjectives even after an afternoon of wild fucking. I barely recognize her. I just see this perfect, glowing woman walking down the to me in a black, halter top dress and a uhh... some gown thing at the bottom.
I stood up as she reached me, smiled and pulled out the chair beside me for her to sit. She smiled and sat.
"My, you look decent," she joked.
"You look extraordinary," I replied, unable to keep my eyes off her. "How are you feeling?"
She gave me an innocent look, "what do you mean?"
She crossed her legs and immediately I noticed her skirt had a thigh-high slit.
She smacked my arm, "Is that all you ever think about?"
I looked up at her, surprised, "What? What do you mean? Of course not!"
She grinned and took a sip of the champagne the server had just handed her.
"So have you heard from Bryan?," I asked, curious.
She shook her head, "no, you didn't have to scare him off too much."
"What're you talking about," I asked, defensively, "I let him have some fun. I still think he's an ass though."
"You haven't even had a conversation with him," she answered.
"I don't need to," I answered, casually, "He treats you like crap. He's young, immature, you? You need, no, you deserve someone better."
She grinned, "Like you?"
For the first time, I actually felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment, "Nah, I could never be in the level of your stature."
"That's just silly!," she said, laughing loudly. It was the first time I actually witnessed her laugh, she was just so... Beautiful.
I looked at the crowd filling the room, "so what did you think about earlier? Are you alright? Are there... regrets or anything?"
She blushed, unsure of what to say, "Why are you asking now?"
I shrugged, "I'm just curious."
We chatted about lots of other things, school, her thoughts about working with or for her dad, her ideals... Knowing her just made me admire her even more. For a 21-year old, she was definitely a lot mature in her way of thinking. Somewhere along the line however, I found myself asking her, "Do you love him?"
She looked at me, surprised at the question, "I'm not really sure. Sometimes, I think."
"Sometimes?"
She shrugged, "Sometimes, I do, sometimes I don't."
"He treats you like crap."
"Yes, yes, you've said that before, countless times," she replied with a bit of laughter.
"Then, why the confusion about how you feel if you agree?"
Her cheeks turned crimson and a look of hesitation came across her face.
"Come on, I wouldn't judge your reasons, I just want to know how you could allow yourself to be treated that way when I'm positive there are so many others that would want to treat you better."
"What if I don't want to be treated better?"
I sat up straight in surprise at her revelation. "You'd rather be hurt and used?"
"I think that it's a punishment for the guilt I sometimes feel when I indulge in ... things."
"Things? Things you do... with me, for example?"
She said nothing, avoiding my stare.
"Don't you enjoy what I do to you?" The conversation was getting my pants in mild discomfort.
"I guess I... enjoy it a bit too much, more than I should, I suppose."
"And that's bad because...?"
She didn't answer and with good timing too, the program was starting and our table filled up with people from other companies. Her dad was on the VIP table with other CEOs or GMs.
A few tables away from them, Bryan sat staring, along with some of the other people from work, Stan and Amy included.
"Aren't YOU the boyfriend?," Stan asked him.
Bryan wasn't not really listening. His mind was filled with thoughts of what happened earlier. The images of her face in pleasure as she was cumming again and again despite the humiliation the was being done to her, to him. Seeing her with him now, he had wondered if it had all been a ploy. His jealousy was fueling, the anger building within.
