Tristan's POV
The days after that incident ran smoothly and it was Trish's graduation today. I called Greg to my office and asked him to escort me to pick a gift for Trish. We went to the mall owned by my family and they had to close it to the public since I came to shop and don't want to waste time. We started at the boutique, we were going through when Greg stopped and pulled out a sexy night gown saying I should give it to Trish.
"Are you nuts?! We are not that close for me to be giving her things like that and besides I won't even get to see her wearing that as of now she could probably even wear it for another guy if I don't hurry to conquer her heart so you can start by helping me pick out a nice gift, it's a graduation for crying out loud." I said. That being said we left that section and went to the shoe store. There were mostly high heels and that to branded heels. I've never seen Trish wearing heels but I guess it was because she was still in college but since she'll start working soon, I guess she'll need them.
I picked a pair of branded sparkling cream heels. They were gorgeous and I was sure they suited Trish. I was about to tell the attendant to pack them but before I could Greg put the shoes back in their place out of the blue. I gave him a cold stare saying what was the meaning of that. He awkwardly cleared his throat and said, " Boss, you trusted me with this special task to pick a suitable gift for Miss Cruz and I must perform my duty well. I don't think a pair of shoes is a suitable graduation gift I think you should instead gift her a handbag with some jewelry inside. It is less intimate and she'll surely be forced to use it Incase she doesn't have one for office which is very likely but as for shoes she can choose never to wear them."
"Great thinking." I praised him and I picked a simple handbag or so I thought but it was Gucci and added some simple jewelery. They wrapped them up and I headed to her college.
We were already half an hour late and got caught up in a traffic jam. We were there for 20 minutes more but still hadn't moved an inch and yet the handing out of degrees might have already ended and I'm sure Trish is lonely since her parents couldn't travel so far and she got no other relatives this side. Yeah, I did my research. I decided to use my connections to pave a way. I called my men and ordered them to get me at the college within 10 minutes no matter how hard it would be.
I arrived in exactly 10 minutes right about the time the ceremony was ending. I could spot Trish easily since she's outstanding in my eyes but she wasn't alone there was some other girl right about her age beside her. They both looked shocked upon our arrival especially Trish, I just love the effect I have on her even just by my mere presence.
I was quite happy today because I'm going to spend the whole day with Trish and I expect to kiss her a bunch of times cuz she probably can't stop calling me Mr Delavega in a short time. And like I predicted once I reached she didn't disappoint me, I pressed my lips against hers.
After a while of bickering I decided on where to hold Trish's celebration. I drove to one of the hotels under the Delavega group and booked the entire restaurant though leaving an exception for vvip clients so that Trish wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Once we arrived every employee rushed to welcome us. I pulled Trish away from her friend to walk with me. Come to think of it, she hadn't introduced us. I stopped them and turned to Trish.
"Would you mind introducing me to this pretty gorgeous lady." I said that to see her reaction. " Such a flirt!" she murmured.
"Ohh, where my manners, Tristan this is Ava Lopez, Ava, this is Tristan Delavega." she introduced.
When she was done introducing I first stole a small peck on her lips cuz she mentioned the 'D' name and then I reached out to hand shake Miss Ava. " Nice to meet you, Ava or should I call you Miss Lopez." I said. "Nice to meet you too, Mr Delavega and call me Ava."she replied.
We went to our table, Trish sitting in front of me and Ava in front of Greg. We placed our orders and we ate though the atmosphere was cold. I asked Trish when she was to start work and she told me next week. She had some food on her lips so I stretched my hand cleaned it off with my thumb and put it in my mouth.
"Mr Delavega , aren't you quite shameless, there are people around. You can't just do that." she said angrily. I first went over and kissed her and said," I don't think I'm shameless, I just don't get embarrassed. What people think of me is none of my business cuz I live for myself and nobody else but if you want I can also live for you." I flirted. Her face turned red from blushing hard. She slipped past me and went to the washrooms. I first chuckled then went to settle the bill.
Trish's POV
I ran to the washrooms and leaned against the door my heart beating so fast. How could he say such a cheesy line! And why would I want him to live for me. He has kissed me four times already in just one day, if he does it one more time I may just lose it and surrender myself to him. I splashed water on my face just to come down while saying to myself in the mirror, "Trisha Cruz, you have to control this mouth of yours. It's Tristan, Tristan , okay,? not Mr Delavega so watch it.
I left the washrooms but I didn't see them inside. A waiter came and told me that they were waiting for me outside. I went out and got into the car and Tristan drove off. I asked where we were going and he said for karaoke. "What for?" I asked. "To have fun of course." I then kept quiet until we reached our destination. Tristan pulled over, we got out and we were welcomed in a grand manner, it was the biggest and most expensive private bar in the country and it belonged to Mr Delavega. We were led into the VVIP karaoke room and there were lots of drinks. Ava and I started drinking non stop it was so much fun. We sang our favorite songs like 'one last time' '7 rings' by Ariana Grande ' lovely' by Billie Eilish 'perfect' by Ed Sheeran and many others we sang and drank till midnight until we finally lost energy and fell asleep.
I felt someone carry me bridal style and I became half awake. The guy's face was totally gorgeous and flawless. I placed my hand on his cheek tracing his jawline and said in a drunken way, "Honey why are you so handsome? Your eyelashes are just wow they are even longer than mine and that smile of yours can send someone straight to heaven not to mention your lips, they are inviting me to kiss them! Can I?" He nodded his head and I positioned myself well in his arms pulled his face towards me. Right before our lips touched, my stomach felt entirely uncomfortable. I turned and puked on his chest,ruining another expensive suit.
I felt my body being thrown down, he actually threw me. I was mad so I stood up and yelled at him, "Hey, why did you throw me so hard. My ass is hurting so much." I said. "It was out of pure instinct I can't have dirty things next to me let alone on me so I had too. As for your ass I can massage it for you but I think we should get a room first." he shamelessly replied taking off his jacket and using it to clean his shirt. His shamelessness surely has no bounds. I wasn't in the mood to argue with him so I staggered out of the bar to get some fresh air and he followed me out after a while.
