[22] The Smirk

{your name} allowed the smooth red wine to coat her pallet as she stared right across the room. Her tongue slowly graced her plump coloured lips, tasting the last bit of the alcoholic drink. As her eyes bore into the back of the head of this individual, a small smirk graced her face.

"Beautiful as usual." She chuckled to herself before picking up her IPhone XR. Her black acrylics quickly typed across the screen, as her eyes look around to make sure no one snooping. {your name} caught the gaze of the person across the room, sending them a wink before looking back down at her phone.

🥰:
Oh, so you decided to show up, looking mighty fine as well.

{your name} chuckle at the message as she took her another sip of her wine. Her eyes lit up when she saw another person join her suspect, leaving a small kiss on their lips. The person turned their head towards {your name} once again, staring into her deep brown eyes before mouthing these words:

"I'll see you after the party." With that they blended into the crowd, socializing among the city's elites. {your name} let out a content sigh, still in shock about the situation she got herself in. Being the mistress of the most respected man in the city was something she didn't expect, something that wasn't even planned.

{your name} moved over a year ago, and bumped into the man at one of her friend's social gatherings. His smooth brown skin and flirtatious smirk had her swooning in an instant as he casually introduced himself.

"Good evening, I'm Marcus." He said as he held his hand out for her to shake.

"I'm {your Name}."She responded with shaking his hand.

"Well {your name}, welcome. Looking forward to seeing you more often."

That line wasn't said in vain. She say him at the grocery store, the mall, meetings and various social events. At first {your name} didn't mind seeing him often. He was a beautiful view and a uplifting spirit, however after one event, she made sure to keep her distance.

"Who is that beautiful woman with Marcus?" {your name} asked her friend Elizabeth as they chilled at a cocktail party for a visiting business mogul. Elizabeth's eyes moved across the room and landed on the woman she was talking about. Her lighter skin was slightly tanned as she had her thick curls pulled up in one.

"Oh, that's Marcus' girlfriend. Piper. She is beautiful." Elizabeth said with a small smile as she stared at the woman for a while. {your name} watched her with a raised brow and an amused look.

"When were you planning to tell me that the man I had a crush on was in a relationship?" {your Name} simply asked. Elizabeth scoffed at her friend's statement as she took a sip of her mixed drink.

"Is it really an issue, I mean they've only been together for like two years." Elizabeth shrugged. {your name} rolled her eyes at her friend as she shook her head.

"Bitch, folks get engaged after two years. I think it's an issue.." she responded with a sigh.

"I mean, you can just take him away from her. By the way you've been explaining you guys interactions, I would think he have a crush on you too." She said with shrug.

"Yeah no. I'll keep my distance. Drama isn't my thing."

{your name} kept her distance. Well tried too. Over the next couple of months, Marcus would find himself sitting next to her at every other event, or find away to drop by her office to drop off documents, just to smile at her with his famous smirk.

His famous panty soaking smirk.

It frustrated her a lot. She didn't want to break up the happy home, but somehow they got closer. They were going for coffee and binge watching shows together, eventually becoming each other's confidant through tough times.

"I think I'm falling out of love with Piper." Marcus said with a sigh as plopped down next to her on her couch. {your name} raised a brow at the man next to her, slightly turning her body in his direction.

"Why do you say so?" She questioned him.

"Well, I don't feel the same when I kiss her, hold her, even have sex with her. The sparks aren't there anymore. I still have love for her, but I'm not in love." He shrugged.

"Well if that's the case, then just leave. You don't want to be dragging someone along."

"Yeah you're right. It's just been so long and our social status depends on us being together as well."

"I mean, that's rough. But you have to do what your heart wants sometimes." She shrugged as she picked up the remote to turn on the television. Marcus stared at {your name} for a moment, allowing her words to replay in his head.

"What?" She asked with a chuckling when she noticed his eyes haven't left her. Instead of answering, he pressed his plump lips against hers, allowing her body melt into his arms. She knew that smirk was something, but his lips were definitely what she needed.

After that kiss, things got complicated. They continued to make out in private but made sure their relationship seemed strictly platonic to the public. Marcus promised that he would break up with Piper, however, her father kept pulling them to attend different functions together. Tonight was the night he finally ended things. Their relationship was strained and it was becoming visible to the public. The love that was so vibrant now turn dull, because his love went to another person.

Two knocks was heard from the front of {your name}'s house, alerting her that her lover was finally here. She allowed the softness of the carpet hit her bare feet as she quickly moved through the house. As the door opened, Marcus gave her his famous smirk, the one that started this whole affair.

"Well we are over." He simply said as he walked into her house. {your name} closed and locked the door behind her, before following him into her kitchen.

"Are you sure?" She asked as with a raised brow. Marcus let out a deep chuckle and as he walked towards her.

"Positive. Apparently she had something going on with your friend Elizabeth for a while." He said as he wrapped his arms around her body. "That doesn't matter though, because now I'm all yours."
