A Deal With The Billionaire

EPISODE THIRTY FOUR

THEME: A Beauty Queen

CONNECTICUT, UNITED OF AMERICA

Raven was much more relaxed by Sunday morning when she left Hartford Memorial Hospital. Rowan was doing great, healing up nicely and taking all of his medications as instructed by the doctor.

Eva had informed Rowan of his mother having a new date and they had both even teased her about it before she left the ward with kisses all over his face.

Raven was happy about her son’s medical progress. She felt relieved at the happy smiles on her son’s face and she didn’t have to worry too much about his health conditions anymore.

She smiled to herself as she drove out of the hospital car park.

One would think Christopher Crawford didn’t sleep all through the night. He had sent a text to Raven just to ask if she hasn’t forgotten about the dinner date they had both agreed on and together with his family by seven o’clock today. And he also texted her to drop her home address so he could come around to pick her up.

The message had popped up when Raven was attending to her son and she had resisted the urge to roll her eyes deep into their sockets.

The way she read the message had reminded her that Christopher Crawford has no damn courtesy. Would it kill him to at least say good morning or how was your night? Probably that was how rich kids were trained, to be rude and spoilt. She thought.

The message triggered anxiety in her. And the cause of anxiety was looking convincing enough to the Crawford’s clan. It wasn’t just about wearing expensive dresses but it was about looking presentable and deserving in it.

Raven smacked her lips as she remembered someone who would always come to her rescue. She has no money to spend on make up and hair and even jewelries didn’t cut it either. But it was almost as if her mom had read her mind while she was thinking about how to look best for the dinner date when she had handed her the key to her accessories box.

In the accessories box, there were some family jewelry heirloom that Eva had gotten from her mother on the eve of her wedding day and was meant to be given to Raven on the eve of her wedding day too.

However, judging by the occasion, Raven had been given a go ahead to pick a necklace from the accessories box and wear it.

Raven was excited about the decision because her mother had always kept the box away from her. So she has never had a glimpse of what was locked up in the box.

“Can you get your ass in my home in the next twenty minutes?” Raven blared over the phone. She had connected her phone to the car speaker and before putting Tiana on dial.

It took Tiana about five rings before she picked up the phone and when she did, Raven had spoken too fast.

“Oh fuck! Right there!” Raven was quick to get a hold of the noise in the background.

Well, it was obvious that Tiana was getting her ass banged from behind with no mercy. She could hear the slams at each thrust made into her core.

“Oh girl! You could have left the phone ringing! Why the hell would you corrupt my damn memory this morning?!” Raven yelled into the phone.

It sounded like she was watching pornography in the car. There was some pushing around and utterances of curse words before Tiana finally responded.

“Oh babe! I can’t do this celibacy of a thing like you. I have to get my core banged several times in a week. Honestly, it has been a couple of days so I really needed to get some doses this morning. So what’s… going on?” Tiana moaned as she tried to catch her breath.

Raven laughed. “I need you to help me get dressed. Remember I am heading to the Crawford’s home for dinner tonight.”

Tiana gasped out when the thrust hit her g-spot and she held on to the bed sheet tightly. “Oh fuck! I am so sorry baby! I… I… I… oh! Deeper! Yes! Yes! Right there! Oh! Shit! I will catch up with you… soon! Give me some damn minutes… to finish up here. Fuck! Geez! I am so close! I need to cum!” Tiana screamed and the line went off.

Raven couldn’t resist the smile that spread on her face. She loved how Tiana always took time to enjoy her youth with no remorse. One of the reason they stayed close was how open Tiana was about things and still didn’t judge Raven by it.

AT THE MCKENNA’S HOME

Raven was still arranging stuffs when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and Tiana stood there looking a bit disheveled but at the same time kind of classy with a small traveling box in her hand.

“Excuse me, are you going on a vacation?” Raven asked as she pointed at the box.

Tiana pushed her aside and found her way in. “Maybe you have forgotten that you are about to dine with the billionaires clan and I am at your service to ensure justice is done to your looks.” She finished by doing a mock bow.

Raven scoffed as she closed the door. “You are really making a mockery of yourself.”

Tiana shook her head. “I am so thirsty!” She said, heading towards the kitchen. “What a mess!” She opened up the fridge and took out a carton of apple juice.

“May I ask why you have flour and all of these baking tools on your kitchen table?” Tiana noted, pointing at the baking ingredients spread out in the kitchen island.

“I didn’t feel it is right to go meet the Crawford empty handed. Since I can’t afford the luxury of buying things so I am making cupcakes and cookies for dessert.”

Tiana nodded her head. “That’s so thoughtful of you. Now show me exactly what I want to see!” She said in a loud tone.

“And what would that be?” Raven was looking confused.

Tiana groaned before walking out of the kitchen. “I need to see the dresses that the billionaire heir bought for you!” She headed towards Raven’s room.

“Oh!” Raven remembered the shopping spree and she followed her friend immediately before she makes a mess of out of the whole room.

“Oh my goodness!” Tiana gasped out on seeing all the shopping bags in the floor. “Is this a fucking Zara outfit?!” She screamed after pulling out a dress.

Raven had no idea of the brand of all the dresses but she only knew that they were all mad expensive.

“Aren’t you at least bothered about the prices?” Raven questioned.

Tiana snorted while checking out the dresses. “Did the billionaire heir cared about the price of any of these dresses?” She asked.

Raven slammed herself into the soft comfort of the bed. “He didn’t care about the price. I was beyond shocked when he didn’t look a bit bothered when the cashier announced the price of the clothes. How can you pay about a hundred thousand dollars for some piece of fabrics and not scream!”

Tiana picked up a dark emerald dress, the neckline was v-shaped and it had a slit that reached the thigh. “That’s what having too much money does to you.” She smiled widely. “This is what you are wearing. It is the latest design made by Ria Robert Couture. This is all over the internet and everyone is crazy about the brand.”

Raven groaned loudly. “Ahhhh! I can’t talk you out of it can I?”

Tiana nodded her head like a child. “Hell no! You do as I say as the stylist.”

Raven gave up the thought of persuading her friend to let her wear another dress.

“Fine! I will do as you say but come and help me bake first then we can get ready later.” Raven said before heading out of the room.

“Coming.” Tiana called out.

They baked for about five hours. It took time trying to make the batter and preparing the cream. And with Tiana deciding to be a chatter box and filling Raven in on her recent sex life had the work taking a whole lot of time.

And when they checked the time, it was past four.

“Oh my God! I can’t believe we have spent this much time.” Raven gasped as she pulled off the apron on her body. She packed the goodies in an appropriate foil pack and a food bag she had bought personally for the occasion.

Raven’s hand were shaky as the thought of everything began to get to her.

“Go and take your bathe immediately while I set up the make up and dress in place.” Tiana said as she pushed her out of the kitchen.

Not wanting to waste time and avoid having issues with her soon to be fake husband if she kept him waiting for too long. She spent less than twenty minutes in the bathroom.

“Just about time. I thought you disappeared into the thin air.” Tiana grumbled.

Raven laughed lightly. “You are so dramatic.”

Tiana laughed too. “Whatever. Please wear your dress and get seated. Let me make a beauty queen out of you.”

Raven grinned as she towel her body. “You better do a great job or else you won’t get paid at all.”

“I can make do with two thousand dollars. The billionaire heir should have added make up and hair to the list of looking presentable.” Tiana said.

Raven got dressed. “He probably thought I can do it on my own.”

“Seat down and let me make you pretty.”

“We will see about that, Tiana.” Raven sat obediently and heaved a sigh.

Raven closed her eyes feeling Tiana move back and forth with her hands not leaving her face and hair. She wondered what the hell her friend was doing to her face and then she moved to her hair to add finishing touches.

After what seemed like eternity, Raven opened her eyes and she gasped at the reflection of herself in the mirror.

Tiana clapped her hands in excitement. “The billionaire heir is definitely going to go wild when he sees you.”

And just then Raven’s cellphone beeped. “He is here.” She announced.
