Chapter 6：CHAPTER 6: ZARI

COLTON

My cousin Clare does not want us to leave after the show and I was not planning to, actually. I wanted to see that model face to face. I seem I have met her before and I could not figure it out where the exact place but I really seen her somewhere.

It was the same venue held the after show party. I know some of them attended the show, a little chitchat. 

Clare approached me. "Thank Goodness, you haven't leave. I am glad you stay and loose up a little Ash." She said. "I want to meet you someone. She is my favorite model." She added, waving to a girl.

"Wow," I heard Carson say but do not know where he was looking. I turned myself to look where he was staring. The model I wanted to me in person and the person I feel something weird in good feeling way.

"Hi Zari, and thanks for staying for a while." I heard Clare say her name. 'Zari'

"Oh, I might not stay here longer I just wanted to mingle a little bit before heading home." She said and her voice was even beautiful.

"By the way, I would like to meet you my cousins, Colton and Carson." Clare introduced us. I saw her smiled at Carson but when she faced me, I know I saw her eyes were kind of different reaction but quickly act calm.

"Hello" she said to us. 

"Okay, I will leave you here with them because I have other guests to entertain." Clare said kissing Zari cheek and left.

"I think I will ditch you two because I found what I am looking for. See you." Carson did too and it left her and me. 

I can feel she was a little tense. "Are you afraid of me?" I asked politely.

"W-what? No, I just tired and I really want to go home and rest." She replied smiling grabbing a glass of wine when the waiter roaming around the area with the tray on his hand and I saw her drink it. I grabbed mine too.

"Then I will send you home." I offered, glancing at her reaction.

"Oh, no-no, thank you for the offer but my manager is with me all the time." She drank the wine all the way. 

"What about one dance? One dance and I will not insist of sending you home." I asked, she looked at me for a moment before she nodded.

We went to the dance floor where some of the guests were already there dancing in a slow music. She placed her hands above my shoulder as I put mine to her waist.

I can smell her perfume and it was so good inside my nose. 

"How long have you been a model?" I asked, her eyes were wide open again. I do not know why she does that. Always in shock, every time I ask something or I am just being paranoid.

"Since I was a kid I love being in this business and then opportunity gave it to me. I grabbed it without hesitation." She replied, our faces were a little distance but I can smell her breath that I wanted to kiss her. 

'What is wrong with me?' I asked myself.

"So, I guess this is it Mr. Torres, one dance." She said when the music changed into another one."

"Well, one dance but I will send you out." I offered again I wanted to spend more time with her even it will still not end her spending with me the night. "Just call me Colton, Mr. Torres is my dad. I do not think that I am that old for you."

She smiled. "No-no needs to bother, good night Colton." She added.

"I do not take no for an answer since you will not let me send you home just send you out of this room." I insisted and she shook her head smiling.

I walked with her out of the room. She said that her manager booked a room upstairs so I can send her to the elevator.

As we walked towards the hallway, she stumbled with her gown. Luckily, I was able to catch her before she could slam on the floor. 

"Thank you." She said looking at me with her red face. We were standing there looking each other's eyes. I slowly leaned forward and I saw her closed her eyes. I kissed her lips gently and it took longer.

My mind was still in her, Zari. I do not know why but I want to meet her again. There is something in her that I want to know more. I could not ask Clare about her, I am sure my cousin will tease me all the way since I am not usually after with a woman anymore and she knows that.
