Daisy’s Secret Crush

Uninvited Guests.



***Daisy’s POV.***

I get ready in a rose gold sequin bodycon gown which has a cold shoulder short sleeve and choker neck. I wear the crescent moon earrings which my parents gifted me today. As I fluff my hair, my mind goes back to this afternoon when that thought invaded my mind.

I love kids and so does Theo. However, we just started our relationship and we both are so busy that I feel we won’t be able to make space for that baby. I would do anything to have Theo’s babies, but it is very early. Or maybe I am worrying about nothing.

I mean, my period has always been irregular, but I know I am far from that window. I think. I sigh and sit down on the bed. Last night was beautiful for me and so was today’s morning. I don’t know if what we did would have any consequences. But I don’t want it to bring me down. A baby is a good thing, no matter what. Theo and I would be fine. And I will know that soon.

I wear my matching heels and go down. I insisted my parents meet me at the venue so I am driving my car to it. I will talk about this with Theo tomorrow. I don’t want to give him more stress than he is already going through right now. I want to enjoy this night with my family, friends and Theo.

I reached the venue, and the media was present too, which would give us some popularity. But before I could walk down, a woman dressed in red walked down the path and smiled like she was the star of the show. I don’t know her but when she turns a little; I realise she is that woman.

“Where is Mr. Anderson, Mam?” One person asks.

“Are you his date?” Others ask.

“No comments, please.” The lady says and walks inside with a secret smile on her face.

“I hate when women use my name like this.” Theo says as he comes to stand beside me.

“Keep them in control. I used to enjoy your pain before but it includes my friend now too.” Noah says as he comes to stand beside my other side.

“Shall we?” They both ask as they give their arms.

I smile broadly and take both of their arms and walk down the path while the media clicks away and throws questions at us. Weird questions. Like am I Noah’s girlfriend? Is Sylvia a new flavour of the month for Theo?

Theo at last breaks down and says, “Well, years later, I realised women are not for me. I am into… Today is not my day. That is news for another time.”

He winks and we walk away while the media keeps screaming questions, asking if he is into men. Is he gay? Is that a reason he has not been seen with a woman for eight months now? Is Sylvia nothing but a friend?

“Why would you do that?” I ask once we are inside.

“What? I didn’t specify what I was into. And it will keep Benedict away. Also, it will teach Sylvia a lesson. By the way, who invited her to this?” Theo asks.

“I didn’t. Maybe Clara knows her somehow.” I say.

“If I get to know she is an uninvited guest, I would literally not spare her.” Theo says, “I don’t want her to spoil your special night.”

“Hey! She won’t spoil my mood or night unless your mood is spoiled. So cheer up. I would be very sad if you didn’t enjoy this party.” I say.

“And what about me?” Noah asks and I turn around to see he is still there.

“Aww! You are my best bud. Obviously, I would like to enjoy today’s party. Come, let’s go inside.” I say and they smile and comply.

For an hour, I get busy with welcoming the guests and mingling with them. Clara introduces me to some investors. Then she introduces me to her husband.

“I am sorry my daughter can’t make it.” Clara says.

“She is in medical college. She would be better than me.” Mr. Turner, Clara’s husband, says.

They both have distinct personalities but are so perfect with each other. They both look at each other with love and respect and also gush over their daughter’s progress.

“Sorry, but George is obsessed with our daughter’s unbelievable successes.” Clara says.

“Don’t worry. Every Dad is like that.” Mom says as she comes beside me.

“Mom! Dad! What took you both so long?” I ask and hug them.

“Traffic.” Dad says in an excuse.

“How are you, Wyatt? Long time no see.” George says.

“George, what are you doing here?” Dad asks.

“My wife is your daughter’s boss.” He says.

“What?” Mom asks, “Why didn’t you tell me, honey?”

“Do you know them?” I ask my parents.

“I didn’t tell her so she wouldn’t feel awkward and also I wanted to shock her.” Clara says.

“George here is Heather’s friend and their family doctor. And their daughter is Richard and Heather’s third goddaughter.” Dad says.

“Oh! That is nice. Now I am curious to meet her more.” I say.

“I will make sure you meet her.” George says.

After that Clara is called upon a stage for a small speech and she calls me up on stage. I give the speech with little jokes here and there. Then the real party gets started in full swing. I dance with Dad, Richard, George, Ryan, Noah, and some investors, too.

I look for Theo and find him in one corner talking with Sylvia and I stop Clara, who is passing by, and ask, “Did you invite her?”

“No. I don’t even know her. But maybe someone from the guests would have brought her.” She says and I nod and go towards them.

“It is better you get engaged to me. You will get your hotels, your empire and my empire. In return, I only want your company and half of the shares in everything you have. That is not a big deal.” Sylvia says and I get angry at her words.

“I won’t get involved with the likes of you.” Theo says simply. They both have yet to notice me.

“If you don’t do as I say, there will be a scandal. I will tarnish your business reputation and you will lose everything.” She says and I so want to slap this lady for threatening my boyfriend.

“Do what you want? I don’t care anymore.” Theo says.

“You-” Before Sylvia could spoil Theo’s mood more than it is, I interrupted.

“Hi, I am sorry to ask, but are you invited?” I ask and come between him and her.

“I… I…” She fumbles.

“If you are not. Then please leave. We don’t want any scenes, do we? Especially others, knowing you are an uninvited guest. That would be embarrassing.” I say with a fake smile.

“Don’t you know who I am? I am an investor.” She says.

“I met my investors and you are not one of them.” I say.

“I could-” She says.

“Please leave before you make a fool of yourself.” I interrupted her.

“Remember my words, Theo.” She says and glares at me and turns to leave.

“One more thing. There are many investors in this world. You are not the only one. One goes, another comes.” I say and wave at her.

She walks out of the party, and I turn to see Theo, who looks irritated. Only one thing can better his mood.

“Dance?” I ask.

He looks at me for a second, then nods with a slight smile and takes my hand. When we dance, everybody looks at us like we are some kind of alien, but some are awing at us. Theo smiles after he twirls me around.

“You okay?” I ask.

“I would be fine. I just hope this month passes by as soon as possible.” Theo says.

“I do too.” I say but for a different reason.

After cake cutting and dinner, we all part ways. Theo says he is going to visit a friend and slips a keycard to me, which I hide in my clutch. After everybody is gone, I drive to the hotel he texted me about and open the door to the hotel with a keycard.

“Happy Birthday!” Theo says just before the clock strikes midnight and I jump in his open arms.

We lost ourselves in each other’s arms and can’t seem to get enough of it. Every kiss, every touch, seems so much more. This time, Theo used protection, and when it was over, I lay in his arms.

“We forgot to use protection last night. Would that be a problem?” Theo asks as he caresses my head.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“We are fine.” I lie because I want Theo to focus on himself first.

We will deal with this later when it is actually true.

Next day, Theo and I enjoy a luxurious bathtub in the morning. Then after breakfast, we go to my apartment where I get changed and then we go to Ryan and Lily’s house. We enjoy the time with our family.

On Sunday, Theo moves into his new penthouse apartment and we have lunch there. After everybody leaves, I also fake leaving but I come right back up with a bag and see Noah in the apartment. He teases me and makes it difficult for Theo for a while but then just leaves for his room. As soon as he is out, Theo picks me up to take me to his room.
