Bring me to life (The golden collection)

by Carr, Kam

  Blake wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in tight. He smelt lush and he looked too hot in his white tux. I rested my head against his chest. I didn't want to be anywhere else.

  "Mum is throwing us a party" His finger gently ran through my hair. "There is a dance floor, a band, food and lots of drink!"

  "That's good there is a lot of drink!" I said. I really didn't understand what was going on here. Dad was getting on with mum and the witch hadn't said one cruel word to me.

  I hugged Blake tighter. "I was really worried about my parents?" I finally gave a sigh of relief at the fact I had confessed.

  "Why?"

  "I thought they were going to argue and cause a scene. I guess they have grown up!!" Even that shocked me.

  "George! George! George!!!" I heard someone yell.

  I looked up and saw Amy running towards me I didn't know she was here! Blake must of invited her. She ran over and grabbed by the arm. "Sorry Blake!!" she beamed. "May I steal her for a while?" Blake nodded and Amy dragged me off.

  What was she doing?

  I tried to get out of her grip but damn she was strong. Finally out of Blake’s reach she stopped and stared at me.

  "You will never guess who is here?" My eyes widen I didn't know what she was on about. One minute I was enjoying a cuddle with my husband to be and then she was dragging me off. I prayed she wasn't on drugs again.. I couldn't deal with her and my parents. That was too much for one person.

  "MAXWELL!!" She screamed.

  I froze and my face fell.

  What the fuck was he doing here???

  I began to scan the room like a mental person. He was the last person I wanted to see or expecting here. I looked back at Amy and she gave a girly giggle. Trust her to find this funny. I placed my hands on my hips and glared at her with narrowed eyes.

  This was all I needed....

  "Don't laugh" I ordered. "This really is not funny if Blake sees him he will hit the roof!!! Oh my god what are we going to do?"

  "Firstly, you should of kept your knickers on!! Then you wouldn't be this little predicament!" I rolled my eyes only Amy would make a joke of this mess I called my life. I shook my head this night was turning into a complete nightmare. I didn't know how long the civil reunion was going to last and now Blake was going to fit when he saw Maxwell. I was beginning to get a headache.

  Amy could sense my distress. "It's okay, I will find him and distract him all night!!" She gave a little wink and walked off.

  What was she going to do?

  I hoped she wasn't going to do anything stupid like sleep with him. The thought made me feel sick... I shook my head. Maxwell was not my problem any more and if he went off with Amy.. What could I do about it?

  After all this was mine and Blake's party and we were getting married. I closed my eyes. I hoped she wouldn't sleep with him. ...

  I looked round the room she wasn't anywhere to be seen. I felt a little disappointed she was the only reason I was here. Then Brett's words hit me The Maxwell Thomas I know doesn't have a heart and is not sentimental. I gave a little laugh, his words were very true and here I was acting like a love sick teenager.

  A waiter walked passed and I grabbed a glass. They had gone all out. The marquee at the back looked very impressive. I began to walk round the room. All of a sudden a dark haired woman was standing in front of me. I had no idea who the hell she was but she seemed to know me. I guess that's what happened when you ended up in celebrity trash mags.

  "Hey" she smiled. "Your Maxwell Thomas?"

  I tilted my head to the side and gave her my knicker combustion smile. There was no point wasting the opportunity. I saw her blush a little.

  Oh yes I still had it.

  "Indeed I am and you would be?"

  "Amy Alexis" she said as if I should know the name. I shook my head and thought about it. Wait... I did know that name...

  Fuck!! This was the woman who tried to out do me on the American contract.

  What was she doing here?

  I gave a little laughed and took a sip of my drink. "You're a very impressive business woman, Amy. Almost out did me on that contract!"

  "You do know who I am?" she fluttered her eyelashes. "Did Georgina tell you about me?" I looked at her stunned. Why would Georgina tell me about her?

  "She's my best friend" she added. "We have known each other since Uni. I actually offered her a job with me but she rejected it." She looked me up and down with a sexy glare. "I can see why!"

  I looked away it was nice that a beautiful woman like herself was throwing herself at me. At the end of the day it was still all about Georgina.

  I looked up and there she was. She was wearing that dress from my screen saver.

  "If you would excuse me there is something I have to do!"

  "Okay" she rolled her eyes she wasn't used to rejection obviously. "But promise me a dance please" her voice sounded almost like she was begging. I nodded and walked off into the direction of Georgina.

  "What are you doing here?" a voice said blocking me from her. It was Blake and he looked like he had walked out of a Disney film. His blonde hair gelled back and in a white tux. I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe.

  Who dressed like that these days??

  "Your mother invited me.. It would of been rude to refuse."

  We stood in awkward silence. I really didn't want my nose broken again. At least this time I would be prepared.

  "Oh, I see" his mouth remained tight. "Georgina told me about why she left her job.." He held out his hand. "At the end of the day I guess the best man won." I stared at his hand was he being serious? Georgina wasn't a trophy but I guess to keep things civil I should amuse him. The shit brick that he was.

  I shook his hand. "Yes, indeed so. If you would excuse me" for the second time. He nodded and walked off.

  I looked around the room.

  She was gone!!

  For fuck's sake. I was just about to leave when I noticed her by a doorway.

  Our eyes met, her face went pale and she looked down. She looked beautiful. Then she didn't know where to look... I urged her to look at me but she didn't. She left the room and I took that as my cue to follow. I ran out of the doorway and she was making her way down the corridor.

  "Georgina!!" I yelled. She looked behind and began to walk faster. I began to run after her. I finally caught up.

  I grabbed her arm and pulled her into the nearest open door. "Do you like to be chased, Miss Dawson?" She went to leave the room but I closed the door. It had a key sat in the lock so I locked it. I switched a switch on the wall and the lights came on. We were in some sort of games room. A snooker table sat in the middle with some old looking chairs in the corner. The room must of been really old looking at the old fashion record player.

  "What are you doing here?" she yelled folding her arms and giving me the evil look. I pushed her against the door placing my arms either side of her head. "I have to go!" she ordered. I looked down at her beautiful face and her soft lips. I had missed her like crazy. I leant forward, she ducked and moved to the other side of me. "Really Maxwell I have to go!"

  "Why are you being like this?"

  "Like what?" Her blue eyes were twinkling at me. "You're the one who fired me! You took my job away from me because I am going to marry Blake. I'm sorry if I don't exactly want to be anywhere near you!!! What you did was cruel!!"

  She walked over to the pool table and turned her back towards me. I could see her shoulders moving up and down. She was crying. I felt bad she was right. What did was way out of line! It was a selfish cruel thing to do. At the time it made sense for her to leave. I ran a hand through my hair and sighed.

  "You know why I did what I did?" She didn't reply. I walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I am really sorry... I love you."

  She spun round and she looked like she was about to explode with rage. "Do NOT start all that rubbish again. I have had it with all the dramas, all the lying and the crying you have put m
e through. I don't know why you came tonight but you have wasted your time. Good bye Maxwell!!" She made her way to the door.

  "I'm sorry" I yelled after her. "What can I do to prove to you!"

  "Ha!!" she stopped and turned to face me. "Prove what?? What is there for you to prove?? I have everything I want now." She gave a squeal of frustration and her eyes were doing that rapid movement thing she did when she was angry. I couldn't help but give a little laugh. "Oh this is funny now?? My torment is amusing to you? What do you want?" She began to move closer to me. "You want me to be all Ahhh Maxwell" her voice turned sarcastic. "Why did you do it? I love you....Oh so much...You mean the world to me and I can't live without you. Please take me away from this evil place!"

  I looked down at her directly in front of me. "Do you want me to?" I replied in a serious but amused way.

  She tilted her head to the side and gave me my knicker combustion smile. She could impersonate me too well. "Do you want to?" Copying the tone of my voice.

  What a question to ask me?

  She knew what I wanted and she knew exactly why I was here.

  This was about me wanting her and she knew it. Why hadn't she screamed or pushed me away when I dragged her in here. Secretly she wanted me just like I wanted her. The only problem was she was too stubborn to admit it. We looked at one another without saying a word. She couldn't take her eyes off me and I couldn't dream of looking at anything else in this room.

  I grabbed hold of her waist and pulled her into me. "Miss Dawson, I am going to have you here and now!" My lips landed on hers and we fell into a passionate kiss. Our tongues moving in sync with each other. I pulled her closer. I wanted her to feel what she did to me.

  She pulled away,breathing heavily.

  "Mr Thomas, I think you're mistaken!" She pushed me into the pool table and her hand cupped my most precious possession. "I am going to have you here and now. It's going to be quick and I am going to ride you into the next world."

  She slowly began to rub me through my trousers.

  I had missed her touch.

  My head fell back in pleasure and I gave a little groan. This is what I had been craving since the day she walked away leaving me in that lobby. I had dreamt about her, thought about her and finally here we were.

  About to do what we did best... Together.

  "Get on the table" she whispered seductively. I jumped on and held out my hands to help her up. Her lips began to work their magic on my neck. She knew all the exact spots to invade with her lips. I slowly laid back and she straddled on top. I felt her hands get to work. She undid the belt and my button. She licked her lips as my manhood was freed.

  "This is going to be so good, Mr Thomas" she winked. "Close your eyes!"

  I did as I was told and I slowly felt myself sinking deep inside her. She was right this was going to be quick. She started to ride me at great speed pulling me into her and out. Her hands fell on my chest and she picked up the pace.

  She twirled her hips and I felt like I was going to explode. I heard her moans. I grabbed hold of her arse and began to slam myself into her. Her groans turned into screams. I opened my eyes. Her beautiful face was now over mine. That was it.... I released myself inside her.

  Within seconds she was off me and back on the floor. I watched her walk over to the large mirror on the wall and begin to sort herself out. I did my trousers up and got off the table.

  "It can't always be like this!" I said watching her smooth her dress back down.

  She spun round and smiled. "I know.... It ends tonight. You better wait here for a few minutes. I need to get back."

  I left the room and began to walk down the hallway.

  What had I just done?

  I felt dirty.. This was Blake's parents' house.

  Why did I do it?

  God, what was it about him?

  Why didn't I walk out of the room when I was going to?

  It was as if he had some magnetic claim over me and I couldn't deny it. I wasn't strong enough to withdraw from the force that pulled me to him.

  I tried to smooth out my hair. I didn't want to look a mess. Otherwise everyone would know what I had been up to.

  Shit, this was a pre-wedding party!!

  I stopped in my tracks stunned at myself. My Dad, my mum and Caitlyn were here. Oh my god, what if they could tell by my face?

  I walked in to the grand hallway. No one was there. They must of all headed outside to the marquee. I walked through out in to the garden.

  I was right.

  .I could hear the music and the sound of people enjoying themselves. I was just about to make my way over.

  "Where have you been?" Amy asked jumping out of nowhere. She raised an eyebrow as if she could read my mind.

  I now felt even more that guilty. I was a horrible person. I watched as her eyes moved to behind me and she shook her head.

  "Don't worry I think I know now. … Maxwell!" she smiled.

  I could feel his presence behind me, I couldn't turn round and look at him. It felt too shameful and now I was feeling really disgusted with myself.

  Did I not have any morals?

  Had all my self respect gone out the window?

  I had behaved in an appalling way. I was no better than a prostitute. In fact I was maybe even worse. At least they got paid I gave myself away for free!!!

  "Ladies" he greeted. I could tell by Amy's face he was giving his smile. "Just in case I don't see you later, Miss Dawson. I am having a fantastic time." I nodded and he walked off.

  "Hey!" Amy yelled after him and he spun round. "You still owe me a dance!"

  Maxwell placed his hand on his chest. "Miss Alexis that I do!" He turned around and walked into the marquee. Amy's eyes didn't leave him she had a stupid girly grin on her face.

  "So... Did you?" She spun round and placed her hands on her hips.

  "NO!" I yelled.

  She looked at me and raised her eyebrow. "You did!"

  I started to make my own way over to the party. "Can you please not go on about it. It's over!"

  Amy grabbed hold of my wrist and stopped me in my tracks. "You always say that..... I saw the way he looked at you and he is head over heels. I also know you cannot resist him. You should think seriously about this... In three days time you're going to be Mrs Waterman!! I reckon" She shrugged her shoulders. "You would rather be Mrs Thomas."

  I looked at her stunned. How had she got all that from a look or was she a mind reader??

  No, she was stupid.

  She was meant to know me better than anyone in the world. What a stupid thing to say!!! Of course I wanted to be married to Blake. Maxwell was just an endless mistake that kept happening. Well from tonight that was it. There was no way I was going to allow myself to be weak and give in. Now it was time I started to use my will power. I had given up smoking and I knew for a fact I could give up my Maxwell Thomas addiction too.

  "Drop it" I warned. "It's over and I am marrying Blake."

  Amy shook her head. "WOW!!! What's it like to live in denial??" She walked off leaving me reeling me with her words.

  Was I in denial???

  No!!

  I knew me and Maxwell could never be together.

  I followed her into the marquee.

  WOW!!!

  The witch had done good. It was fantastic; A dance floor was set up in the middle with a little stage and a band were playing. Tables were on one side and on the other a buffet which looked very fancy. There was roses everywhere and what looked like fairy lights.

  It was actually breath taking.

  The waiters all dressed in white were still going around handing out the champagne. I walked over to buffet. I was starving... It was probably down to my recent activity. I scanned to see if there was anything I liked.

  "Hey... Where have you been?" I turned and Blake was standing beside me.

  "Just outside talking to Amy" I lied trying to hide my face in order for him not to notice my expression. "Your Mum has done
a really good job" I laughed never thought those words would out of my mouth.

  He wrapped his arm round my shoulder. "This is where we are having the reception."

  I looked up his eyes had gone dreamy. This actually meant something to him!

  I cringed.

  I looked around at all the people drinking, smiling, laughing, dancing and really enjoying themselves. All these people were here because of me. I suddenly lost my appetite and felt sick. I was meant to of been here all the time and yet I had gone off and had sex with Maxwell.

  What sort of wife was I going to make?

  Did I want to be someone's wife?

  Taking care of someone and supporting them. I couldn't even cook or clean.

  Was it time for me to grow up?

  Did I want to grow up?

  Looking around the room made everything so real. I was getting married and I couldn't get out of it. I noticed my mum, Dad and Caitlyn all sat at one table. Times had changed people had moved on and I had moved on. I had moved on to Maxwell. Even in my daydreams I was with Maxwell.

  "You okay?" Blake asked he cupped my face and stared into my eyes. "What's wrong?"

  For a split second I wanted to tell him exactly how I felt. I just couldn't be the one who crushed his heart. He loved me to death and I had to live with the decision I had made a few weeks ago. Maybe once we were married I would forget about Maxwell. Technically I didn't have to have anything to do with him again.

  I gave a little sigh.... What did I want?

  Blake hugged me and I hugged him back mainly out of habit. "I think you just have pre-wedding nerves. It will be fine and I will make you the happiest woman in the world. I love you so much, Georgina. I was born to be with you."

  His words felt like a slap in the face....

  I knew for a while but I had avoided the hard cold truth!!!

  I no longer loved Blake.........

  I was stood in the doorway of the Marquee watching as everyone enjoyed themselves. I closed my eyes. I could still feel, taste and smell her. I gave a little smirk. She never failed to surprise me. Here I was looking like the loner. I was trying to stay out of the way of that Amy girl. She looked like a complete man eater and I didn't want any other woman to touch me.
