"There’s only two left for you, ladies. Ahmm, but wait we have a young man in here. He’s 19? What the heck? You don’t look 19 to me at all!" Denise exclaimed as she looked at Drey and read his profile.
The man was well built and more mature looking than his age.
"Oh, you’re the only son of the well-known painter Senior Russo? Oh my... I’m a fan of your father!" Denise suddenly blurted out, which made the crowd murmur.
"He’s not bad,’ Cielo murmured as she drank her beer.
Torin’s eyes widened. "The hell. Don’t tell me you did not bid to anyone because you like that one? You like a younger man?" He exclaimed in disbelief.
Yes, the man was matured looking but he’s only 19 and Cielo is 23 or 24?
Cielo chuckled and said, "Yes, Torin, I prefer young boys because they are easier to tame. You know they are still naive and..."
"Stop! I don’t want to hear it anymore. You give me goosebumps all over!" Torin complained about with a weary expression, which made Cielo laugh out hard.
Of course, she was just joking but she would get that boy since she was also a die-hard fan of his dad. Besides, it’s for a good cause, so her money won’t be wasted.
"Alright, ladies, place your bids!" Denise shouted.
"50 dollars!" May shouted and the crowd laughed because all bids on previous men started at 1,000 dollars.
Drey narrowed his eyes at May who only laughed and blinked an eye at him.
"100 dollars!" Lana shouted next. She also blinked at Drey and gave him a flying kiss.
Drey glared at them both saying silently, "I’m going to kill you two once this is over!"
"2,000 dollars!" Shouted Cielo and made Drey almost jump up from happiness for gaining his pride back.
"Look at that brute feeling so happy with that wide smile." May said laughing."
They wanted to tease Drey more but that lady who bid killed their plan.
"2,500 dollars!" Another lady shouted.
Torin felt more frustrated when he noticed that all women that were participating in the bid were all young and beautiful. Cielo was also pretty, although she’s the tomboy type.
"Dude, you all should wear glasses next time you pick hot men! How come you guys failed to see this gorgeous man at your side," Torin uttered when one of the bouncers passed at him.
He twitched his mouth when the bouncer just smiled at him then shrugged his shoulders.
"5,000 dollars!" Cielo shouted.
Torin’s jaw dropped when he saw Cielo’s serious expression at that moment. She was exchanging glances with the other lady who was competing with her on the bid.
"7,000 dollars!" Shouted the same lady who was competing with Cielo through eye contact.
"What is this? Do you know each other?" Torin asked when he sensed that what was happening was not just because of the bid.
"10,000 dollars!" Cielo shouted with a smirk. That woman was the one who stole her first love during junior high and made her look like a stalker.
This time she would make sure she got the man!
"15,000 dollars!"
"Wow, two women fighting for our young Russo in here," Denise said enthusiastically
"25,000 dollars!" Cielo shouted with a triumphant smile. Because she knew the capacity of Sheena. She wouldn’t bid pass her last bids.
"I’m richer than you now..." she murmured proudly.
Torin’s knees weakened as he stared at Cielo, with pouted lips he asked, "Will you also bid that high for me if I’m the one there?"
Cielo laughed and replied, "Torin, I won’t even dare to bid, even if you were the last man, dear."
"Ouch!" Torin exclaimed as he exaggeratedly touched his chest and acted as he suffered from a serious blow.
"25,000 dollars... sold! Milady, come on up here, claim your man and take him home!" Shouted Denise.
Cielo walked towards Drey and stopped when she passed by at Sheena’s to wink at her and smile triumphantly.
"In your face." She mused and giggled happily as she approached Drey and pulled the latter.
"Come here, baby! Let’s have fun!" Cielo shouted and Dre’s face paled. Obviously, the woman was already drunk.
He felt like he was in big trouble. He looked at the girls but the woman was strong and he just ended up where she pulled him.
"What? That woman is a lieutenant at the academy?" Lana repeated when Keira mentioned that the woman who won Drey on the bid was one of Zach’s friends.
"Yup, so there’s nothing to worry. Drey will be fine." Keira added, as her eyes went back to where Zach was standing.
"Wow, and for our final man, he is truly impressive. One of the youngest Generals in our country, ladies! A young General!" Denise exclaimed which made the ladies scream.
Zach’s face reddened in embarrassment.
’It’s for Cancer Patients organization.’ He kept on reminding himself silently because if not he would absolutely not participate in something like this.
"Okay, ladies let’s..." before Denise could finish her words, a loud voice interrupted her and left the crowd open-mouthed.
"50,000 dollars!!!"
