As much as I loved this job, at times it felt like I was everywhere all at once. Regardless of how it felt at the moment, I loved the feeling of watching the finished product of my hard work unveiled, and I prayed that today would also be a successful night.
And for more partnerships with new companies.Lord knows I need a bonus!
I got into my office and changed into a champagne satin dress, the chest area was low. However, my babies were held just fine and filled out the cups beautifully. Every day I thanked God for Nathaniel, because had it not been for him, I would never have had such beautiful breasts!
The dress was also tight around my hips but I was able to move around it, luckily enough. I paired the dress with the same shade of heels and removed the bonnet that kept my curls fresh. My makeup was already done and all I had to do was get changed and dose myself in a great deal amount of cologne.
Once I had finished touching up on my lipstick, I made my way back downstairs to where the part was being held. The venue was filling up pretty quickly, and the music had been taken up a notch, which surprised me because it was already loud enough before.
There was a banner wall and a red carpet for our guests, and some were lucky enough to get pictures with the players. I walked back into the venue to look for my son and mother, I had already missed their big entrance but I knew for sure my mother had taken a video of it.
“There you are,” a husky voice said behind me. He placed his hand on my hip when I turned to face him and kissed my cheek. “You look gorgeous angel,” he kissed my other cheek and I smiled as I put my hand on his chest.
Thank God this corner is a bit dark.
“You look handsome yourself,” I said as I took a step back to take him in. “I never thought you would actually wear a suit.”
“Well, someone pestered me with a million texts and threatened me to wear a suit or else I would be in trouble.” He shook his head and I laughed rolling my eyes. It wasn’t as dramatic as he was making it out to be.
“Whoever that person is did good, you look charming. Many women will be swooning for you today,” I said as I pushed my hair back.
“I hope you’ll be one of them,” he smirked and I shrugged, pursing my lips.
“Man, if only I had the time but I have to work,” I whined as I tilted my head up and he pressed a quick kiss on my lips before moving away. I looked at him shocked and he smiled. “I’ll swoon for you if you give me one more kiss.”
I raised my index finger, not caring if people saw but I could not resist Nate. He chuckled and leaned down, pressing his lips on mine once more, the kiss a bit more intense than the first one. His tongue swiped against my bottom lip and I smiled as I held his jacket with my fingers, his hand gently angled my head to the side as he spread his fingers over my neck.
“That gets me more than a swoon, doesn’t it?” he whispered against my lips as his finger softly rubbed over my throat.
“Hmm, so much more,” I spoke softly and he chuckled as he stood up straight. I brought my fingers to his lips, wiping the lipstick. Luckily it wasn’t a dark or bright shade. “There, better.”
“They’re about to start singing,” he said and I blinked as I remembered what my task was.
“Ah shit, I’ll be back!”
I quickly ran to the kitchen, leaving Nate behind.
“Is the cake ready?” I asked the pastry chef and she smiled pointing to the cake in the middle of the table. I gasped as I put my hands on my chest, walking over to it.
It was a four-tier cake, with the fourth tier being held up by a hockey stick. The number twenty-seven was placed in the middle of the fourth cake; down the sides of the cake was cream that mimicked ice, and a few pucks were placed against the cake.
“This is so gorgeous!” I squealed as I circled the cake. “You are amazing!” I gushed as I hugged the woman and she giggled, thanking me. “So, you’ll bring it out as they’re singing, and place it in front,” I instructed her as she pulled off her coat revealing her outfit for the party.
“Got it, Avery.” She smiled as she instructed her assistants to put it on the trolley so that it would be easier to push.
“Thank you so much, Tanya!” she raised her finger and motioned to my lips.
“Your lipstick is smudged.” I wiped the area she had indicated was smudged and she smiled nodding, confirming that it was alright. “Looks good now.”
“Thanks again!” I waved as I exited the kitchen, rushing back to the party and the people had gathered around the front, facing Brian who stood in the center with Niel in his arms.
“You wondering why Niel is in the front?” my mother asked scaring the shit out of me again.How does she do that?
“Did you tell him it’s not his birthday party?” I asked, and she shrugged.
“Yeah, he just likes the attention he’s getting with his uncle. Everyone thinks he’s a handsome boy and many have asked if he’s Brian’s because of how similar they look.”
“They don’t look similar.” I shook my head and she smiled, looking behind me as she gently stroked my back.
