Chapter 71
Baby looked over at me and nodded. It was time.
“Dad has some big changes plaimed for this Cooper & Co branch. As you may know, Blake has been living out here in Mariners Pay once he offered to come to help us get our plans together, in his time here, he has managed to do lots of things, including finding himself a nice girl. So, ladies and gestionen. it is with great pleasure that I announce my son Blake’s engagement to Miss Rosalie Peters. Resalie is the Sales and Marketing Manager here at Cooper & Co and has been with the company for the last 7 years. We are very delighted to have Rosalie become part of our family and with the happy couple nothing but happiness. Please do congratulate them when you see them tonight. Thank you, everyone. Have an awesome night” he finished and everyone clapped. There were a few cheers and whistles.
Nate made his way back to his seat and the auctioneer took his place on the stage. Sue turned around and was whispering something to Blake. The waiter came around with drinks and I happily grabbed a glass of wine, hoping it would calm my nerves.
After the first few auctions, people started walking around, chatting with each other between auctions. Food was getting served and I was starving People came up to us and congratulated us on the big news. Blake stood by me with his hand around my waist, smiling and thanking everyone. He had barely said 2 words to me since the announcement and it was honestly confusing me. How could he go from raging boner to couldn’t care?
Blake excused himself and disappeared somewhere and I excused myself from the table and headed for the buffet. I filled a plate with food and when the coast was clear, I darted for the lift. I needed to be somewhere quiet to help me think. What was with the sudden change in Blake?
I took the lift down to the floor our offices were on. My things were still in Blake’s office so I thought I’d go pack them up so I was ready to leave when
I needed them. I ate as I walked. Since this morning the only meal I had had was breakfast. No wonder I was so hungry.
I absentmindedly walked around the office collecting my things when I heard footsteps. I turned around to find Blake standing at the doorway.
“What are you doing down here?” He asked, walking into the office.
“Oh so now you care?” Sarcasm dripping in my words. I turned around and carried on packing my things. I put my plate down and picked up my bag to put stuff into.
“What’s that supposed to mean? You know I care about you” his voice got closer.
“Yeah, your actions say otherwise tonight. You’re so confusing Blake and I’m finding it hard to keep up with you tonight”
I felt his hands on my waist. I dropped the bag in my hand and turned around. He was very close and had a weird look on his face.
“You look beautiful, Rosy. I mean you are always beautiful to me but tonight, you look exceptionally stunning. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that earlier. I was having a hard time controlling my boner which isn’t even a good excuse. You just made me so hard tonight, my dick hurt from how hard it was. There was me trying to hold my breath to calm it down before people saw it” he pulled me up against his chest and wrapped his arms around me tightly.
“Why couldn’t you just say that? Instead of being rude and ignoring me, why couldn’t you just say you were horny and lost of words? Is it that hard for you to communicate your feelings for me? We’re going to be getting married and this isn’t the best start” I looked up at him. My voice was low and I could feel my eyes starting to burn a little.
Blake kissed the top of my head me then looked down at me.
“I’m sorry Angel. I will work on my communication. I didn’t mean to hurt you. You look amazing tonight and your right, I should have just said that.” He brought one hand up and cupped my face. His thumb gently stroked my cheek.
