Page 23 of Winning Her Heart

"Yes". I assure her.

I really am. I no longer feel scared or nervous. I still have the anger inside of me. It's brought on by Gabriel and his treatment of me, as well as my own repression. I'm not going to lie, a larger amount of money is very tempting. I guess I'm just tired of waiting to lose my virginity. I'm not getting any younger. I'm tired of guys passing me over for women who are easier, or don't have feelings or emotions.

I want my dream shop. Nothing is going to stop me from having that. If it means selling my own virginity to accomplish that then I will have to go through with that. I realize that I am ok with that and willing to go through with it. One way or another I am going to get what I want.

Not only do I want something different to happen in life and I want to have fun, I want my plans and dreams to come true. I want things to finally work out for me. "Ok, it works like this. We go on stage, I announce you and your auction. Bids will be placed. You can accept or request certain things be done but only after I confirm that you agree to accept the bid, understand?" She asks me. I nod my head in agreement to show that I understand. "Good, have fun and good luck! I'll be standing nearby. " she replies.

She gives my shoulder a gentle squeeze and I go to find a place to wait, watching with anticipation as the other auction ends. I see the director take the stage. Strangely, I still don't feel nervous at all, even though I know I should. Honestly I feel kind of excited and a little turned on.

This is going to be my first time, it's finally going to happen. As I look back out at the crowd I realize that there are a lot of handsome men here. Why did I never realize that before? Maybe because I was so fixated on Gabriel. Whatever the case may be, this is finally going to happen to me. I turn my attention back to the director as she starts speaking.

"Attention ladies and gentlemen. We have a new addition to our auction. Let's give a warm round of applause to our hostess, and congratulate her on her first time participating."

I quickly fuss with my appearance and smile and wave. Everyone applauds and looks my way. The hostess waves me forward. I take a deep breath and walk up to the makeshift stage as she continues speaking. "This is our hostess, the lovely miss Lorelai. Tonight is her first auction, and it's going to be a special one …" she pauses here for effect.

I look at her as I take center stage. I don't know what to do, so I smile and wave. I do a little turn then smile at the crowd again

The director continues speaking, "Miss Lorelai is auctioning off her virginity…" several loud cheers and whistles interrupt her speech.

She pauses until the crowd quiets down. I giggle and blush at their response. I wasn't expecting to get that type of a reaction. "We will begin the bids shortly, please enjoy yourselves." she announces.

She stands nearby and looks at the papers she carries with her. I assume that she is waiting a few moments to give the people time to get a good look at me again. I smile some more and do a few more turns. Somehow, I'm actually kind of enjoying the attention that I’m getting right now.

I spot Gabriel in the crowd, but I quickly ignore him. He tries to look me in the eyes, but I give him an angry glare and look away, feeling a small surge of satisfaction. I'm ready to do what I want and make things happen for me, just like everyone else.

The hostess comes back out. I step a little closer to the edge of the stage. "We will now start the bidding on Lorelai," she says.

I'm surprised as several small bids pop up. I start to feel a little overwhelmed. I look at the director wondering what to do. How do you know which bids to accept? I'm about to open my mouth to say something to her when a loud angry voice calls out:

“Ten million!”

Everyone turns in shock to look. I'm shocked as well, but my anger crowds that out. I avoid looking at the bidder, even though I know it’s Gabriel.. No one dares to challenge him. I huff impatiently and cross my arms. After a few moments of silence, he’s declared the winner.

I'm too angry to care about the amount of money. All I can do is glare at him. Who does he think he is? Like he can just bid on me and have his way with me after the way he treated me earlier? He doesn't have a chance, no matter how much money he pays. I'm fuming as I walk off the stage.
