His Cure

..

He turned off the engine and stared at her.

“Remember, this is just an act. Don’t get too immersed in the moment. Make sure you do not leave my side too.”he instructed.

She just gave a nod and unbuckled her seatbelt.

“Don’t go out yet. I will get the door for you.”he told her before stepping out.

She scoffed, opened the door and alighted.

“Lacking patience, huh?. I’m doing this for the media, if not why would I care about getting your day. Thought I said not to get too lost in the moment.”he said meekly into her ears before taking her hand in his.

Alright.. this is the second time. Beatrice pressed her lips together.

Suddenly, all the camera lights were directed on them.

*The winslow couples are here!!*

*Do you see her dress?, Beatrice is on fire!!*

*Who is that in the car behind them?*

Jennifer scoffed before nabbing her clutch bag from the seat next to her, getting down.

*It’s Jenna!! When did she return. Miss Jenna, a word.*

*Miss Beatrice, a word..*they all trooped to them.

‘This is CEE CEE News. I am here now at the dinner party being held in Roosevelt’s hall where all the celebrities are present. According to what we heard, this party is being held in celebration of Michael’s new music release. As you can see, the Winslow couples are too and Jenna also came right after them. There are many things to watch so enjoy the beautiful scene. I remain your humble reporter, Page. Stay tuned to this channel, there are still many things to watch here. Many pages are yet to be opened.”a reporter was recording a live video.

The camera shutters at their direction from every corner.

The lights flashing at them were almost blinding.

Jennifer was now standing with them.

They began walking towards the red carpet.

The reporters were almost blocking their way, but the bouncers kept them in check.

‘Mr Winslow, a word please.’

‘What’s your comment on Michael’s new music?’© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Gregory halted and turned to them.

“His songs has always been one of a kind. Whether it is a hit or not, I will always be his fan. He has got all the things I want in music in his songs. And, surely, I’m supporting his new song too which, although I’m yet to listen to, would be pretty nerve – calming one too! Thanks.”

‘Miss Jenna, I heard you took a quick flight down here, what was the reason behind this?’

‘What do you have to say about Mr Gregory and Beatrice’s relationship?’

She scoffed inwardly and balled her hand in a ball beside her.

Avoiding the question wouldn’t help her though.

“I would say it’s a good one. It’s rare to find a man so truthful to his heart. I wish them roses filled journey.”she replied with a fake grin before walking away.

They posed before the camera and moved inside the hall.

A soft cool song was being played.

That was the song Micheal recently sang.

With every lyrics, all his words and lines seems to be magical.

Beatrice removed her hand from Gregory’s own and stared around.

So many people that were dressed in sumptuous dinner gowns and expensive tuxedos were present.

She looked down at her dress and sighed.

She fits to the crowd a little though.

“Hey buddy!”a guy hollered from afar with a big smile.

He approached them and grabbed a glass of champagne from a waiter and drank from it before getting to them.

“You came, man. I love you.”the guy did some brotherly hug with Gregory.

“Always.”Gregory smiled.

He turned to Beatrice and smiled.

“This is your woman, huh?”

“Yes.”

“She looks more beautiful in person. Hi, I’m Micheal.”he introduced and stretched his hand out for a shake.

Beatrice folded her arms and stared down at his extended handshake.

“Beatrice.”she replied without receiving his shake.

Gregory poked her a little but she was determined.

Michael stared at Gregory before taking his hand in.

“Haha, don’t be vex, man. She is scared I would get jealous if she shakes another man’s hand.”Gregory covered up for her with a chuckle.

“Oh, come on, Beatrice. I and Greg are very good friends. I would never snatch his woman away.”

“What?, Jenna. How long has it been?”he turned to Jennifer.

“A year?, you dumb head.”she smacked his head playfully.

He checked her out.

“You’re officially single now, huh. Why not go out with me?”he smirks.

“Do I have your go ahead, bro?”he asked Gregory.

“Feel free, Micheal.”

“Jenna!!”a lady called.

“Alysssaa!!!”Jennifer beamed and they hugged each other.

“Gosh, babe. Your dress is giving..”she complimented, holding her hand and twirling her around.

“Oh, yea, baby. Let me kill them all with my looks.”Alyssa giggled.

“You’re not bad too, Jenna. Ugh, girl, I’ve missed you so much..”she pecked her both cheeks.

“Well, just to warn you that I’m coming back for my first position soon enough so get ready..”

“I won’t lose to you, Jenna. You should get fully prepared too.”

They both smiled at each other.

“Well, who do we have here. If it’s not the mighty Micheal, who would it be?. I heard you got yourself busied with some girls in a corner, not having the time to welcome your guests.”

“I gotta live, sis. Thanks for showing up.”

They bumped knuckles together.

She turned around and found Gregory standing there, staring at her.

She gasps then covered her mouth with her palm.

“What the heck?!! Gregory!!! Oh my…”she jumped on him.

“You’re just seeing me?. How have you been, Lyssa?”he chuckled.

She stared at his face and plants soft kisses on them.

“I’ve been good.. I miss you..”

“Me too.”he responded.

Beatrice found them amusing as she watched them.

Michael’s eyes traveled over to her and he pulled Alyssa away from Gregory.

“What.. why?..”she whined in a pout.

“You can’t do this anymore, Lyssa. You would only get his girlfriend jealous.”

Beatrice scoffed and looked away.

“What?. The news was true?.”she looked over at Beatrice then back at Jennifer.

“Aren’t you guys..”she tilts her head to the side.

“Different eyes are here.”Michael covered her mouth before she could spill out anything.

“But still.. I am finally seeing my boyfriend after months. I’ve been too busy with my tight schedule that we didn’t have much time to talk.”she clung to him again.

Michael shook his head and laughed it off.

“Cheer up, Beatrice. They are only friends.”he told her and she nodded simply.

She doesn’t want to know whatever they are.

She just want to get this done with and get out of there.

“That reminds me, Michael. Would you like me to remix your new song?. I lovvee it.”Alyssa turned to him.

She is also a singer too.

He raised his cup up at her.

“I got you, sis.”he approved.

“Well, ladies.. let’s go party!!”she whooped and dragged Jennifer and Beatrice away.
