It was around 7 p.m. that Scarlett heard Adrian enter the penthouse door. She was surprised when he entered and ran to give her a tight hug. Her thoughts were all over the place as she tried to decipher the reason why he was hugging her so tightly. Maybe he couldn't resist her charms anymore and had decided to surrender to her, or maybe he was missing her. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, but when Adrian disengaged from the hug, she stopped smiling.
“Dad? What happened? You seem so excited.” She questioned. “Are you that happy to see me, or did Mom propose?” She questioned further, a chuckle escaping her lips.
Adrian couldn't find the right words to answer her because he also had no idea why he hugged her like that. He couldn't contain his happiness after he finally found the girl he had searched for. He never thought he would see her again, but he did.
“Here's your dress.” He stretched out the bag to her, trying to change the topic. Scarlett took the bag from him and pulled out the dress. It was one of the most expensive dresses in her collection and was very beautiful.
“I can't wear this; it's soiled.” She complained, scrunching her face.
“Really? But I went all the way to the mansion to get it for you. It's fine; do you want to get another one at the mall?” He offered, but she shook her head.
“Don't worry about it; I don't want to bother you. You've done a lot already.” She answered.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the dress; it was perfect and gorgeous, but she didn't see the need to waste such an expensive dress for Ethan's birthday. It's not as if he's worth it. She only used the dress to lure Adrian to her penthouse.
“Fine then.”
“You want a drink?” Scarlett offered. Adrian nodded, and Scarlett went to bring two glasses of wine before coming back to sit beside him.
“Um, I saw your childhood photo in your room,” Adrian confessed, and Scarlett blinked at him in confusion.
“I was surprised because who would believe this tiny girl is now as big as this?” He continued and pulled out his phone to show her the photo. “Is this really you?”
Scarlett's cheeks flushed from embarrassment; she placed her palms over her face and nodded shyly. She hated it when people saw her childhood photos; she believed that she was ugly in those photos.
“Why would you pick this photo to save on your phone when I have hotter photos available?” She asked, taking her hands off her face.
"Oh, c'mon, you were such an adorable child, and your hair is very beautiful. I love the way you styled it in this particular photo.” Adrian smiled; he thought she looked cute while she was blushing.
“No! I don't like that photo; delete it!” She tried to swipe the phone from his hand, but he moved it out of the way just in time.
“Stop dad, Give it.” She groaned, trying to swipe it again, but Adrian got to his feet and ran to the other side of the room, sneering at her.
“You will not delete it.” He stuck out his tongue at her, and she groaned heavily.
“Stop.” She said, covering her face with her hand. She got up and went after him, trying to catch him, but she couldn't get a hold of him as he kept dodging and escaping from her. They ended up running around the entire living room, laughing like kids. Adrian kept teasing Scarlett because he was taller than her. He raised his hand and watched Scarlett jump to try and get to the phone. He laughed so hard at her helplessness.
“Would you just delete it?” She cried.
Adrian took off again, but Scarlett caught up with him and pushed him. He fell onto the couch, with Scarlett landing on top of him. She was still struggling to get the phone from him, but his eyes were stuck staring at her exposed cleavage. Her dress was stretchy, so the more she struggled, the more her boobs became visible. Her nipples were almost popping out, making Adrian gulp. He didn't want to get an erection, so he slid out of bed immediately.
“Even if you delete it, I'll still go back to the mansion and get more.” He said, and she frowned, deciding to give up.
“So,” he started, taking his seat and panting as a result of all the running.
“Whose birthday party are you attending? And what will you be wearing?”
“I'll just wear something simple. Actually, the celebrant is the football captain at my college.” She answered innocently. Adrian didn't know why her reply stirred up a reaction in him. He frowned slightly but quickly masked.
“I guess you have a lot to do; you should get going.” She said, seeing that it was already getting very late.
“I don't mind driving you down to the party before I go home.” He answered.
“Are you sure?”
“I insist.”
Scarlett shrugged. Just then, the doorbell rang, and she went to answer it. It turned out to be Nelly, and she was all ready for the party. She looked hot in the knee-length bodysuit she was wearing. Scarlett couldn't help but admire her heels and purse.
“You look good enough to eat,” Scarlett exclaimed, leading her into the house. Nelly giggled.
Nelly's eyes immediately landed on Adrian. She admired him for a while; she thought he was hot.
“Nelly, this is Adrian, my dad. Dad, this is my friend, Nelly.” Scarlett introduced, but Adrian glared at her.
“Didn't I tell you not to call me that? I am not your dad, at least not yet.” He cautioned with his brow raised.
“Nelly, take a seat while I get ready. I won't take much time.” She said and entered her room.
She came out after twenty minutes, and Adrian's jaw dropped when he set eyes on her. She wore a body hug black gown that had ruffles; the dress also exposed her cleavage and made her round ass pop out. She accompanied the sexy dress with high-heeled boots and a white Birkin bag. Adrian was almost drooling by the time she arrived at the foot of the stairs.
“Oh my gosh, Scarlett! You look so hot. You're definitely dressed to kill, and I believe you will kill a lot of guys at that party tonight.” Nelly hyped, her eyes roaming in Scarlett's body.
“I wish I had a shape like yours. I will make sure everyone knows that I am in the room.” She added, and Scarlett chuckled.
“That's what you're wearing?” Adrian inquired, raising his eyebrows and giving her a suspicious look.
“Why Dad? Is anything wrong with it?” She asked with a tone that made Adrian lose his cool for a moment.
“I can't believe that this is the same innocent Scarlett in the photo.” He mumbled to himself. The two girls didn't hear him, and he was happy about it.
Scarlett checked her heels to make sure to check her heels for the last time.
Contemplating whether to change it or not.
Around 8:30 p.m., they were ready to leave, and Adrian led the way to the car. The two girls settled in the back seat while he drove them to the venue that Scarlett had given him earlier.
It took about ten minutes to get to Ethan's house; it wasn't very far from the school, which was understandable.
As soon as Nelly and Scarlett got out of the car, Scarlett drew the attention of everyone who was standing outside, especially the guys. Some of them were with their girlfriends, but they still couldn't take their eyes off her banging body.
They desired her; she was such a seductress. Her dress didn't make things any easier; she easily gave some of the men a hard-on without even touching them.
Scarlett turned to the car and smiled at Adrian.
"Bye, dad, thanks for going through the trouble of bringing me here.” She told him.
Adrian wasn't smiling at all; he wasn't even looking in her direction. He simply drove off without saying a word.
“Dad! Dad! Dad! That's all I keep hearing!” He let out a grunt, handling the steering wheel roughly.
He wanted to ignore whatever Scarlett was doing, but he wondered if she had really stopped obsessing over him. Could it be that she was trying to draw the line between them? Why did that make him feel bad?
