Beverly continues. She introduces the white haired woman.
"Today, our generous benefactor, who makes it possible to take such good care of our city's pets in need, has a message she would like to share with you." Beverly shares. "Our generous donor prefers to remain out of the lime light, but she feels strongly tonight, that the public understand the true intent of this organization. Everyone please give a warm welcome to Mrs. Margret Winston." Mrs. Winston steps toward the mic. Renee looks at Melaine.
"What?..Who?.." Renee begins.
"Ssshh..." Melaine responds.
Renee feels the urge to run. She begins to swivel her body to turn to leave. Melaine blocks her. "You can't run...running is not the answer." Melaine whispers. Renee takes a deep breath, and stays in place.
Sixty minutes later, the event concludes. Although they have exhausted the CF team with questions, the press continues to take pictures. One by one, Mrs. Winston, Beverly, and Natalia pose for media shots. Renee uses the opportunity to fade into the background. Colin is quite caught up with entertaining well wishers himself, and Melaine socializes with individuals she recognizes. Renee continues to move toward the exit in a desperate fashion. She walks right into Nick.
"Hey!" Nick says to Renee with an enormous smile. "Everything went off without a hitch! Awesome job Renee!" Nick congratulates her. "Where are you off to?"
"Thanks...Um, I need to use the bathroom. I'll see you at the private reception upstairs." Renee says in a hurry.
In her favorite hiding place. Renee stares into the restroom mirror. She looks at her thick mane. She decided to have it blown out straight, and wears it in a ponytail for the occasion. She adjusts her three quartered sleeve pink dress, and begins to chuckle that she wore the same color as Mrs. Winston - Colin's mother. Renee begins to take three very deep breaths.
"You worked hard. You gave this project your all. Even if it was a 'set up'. Your work speaks for itself. So now is not the time to punk out." Renee encourages herself. She knows that she can't afford to run away. She brushes her hair back. She ensures that every strain is in place, then retouched her complementary pink lipstick, and heads out for the private room upstairs.

"Finally, I have the pleasure of meeting the 'Wonder Woman' who made our event look so beautiful." Mrs. Winston says shaking Renee's left hand energetically with her right hand, and holding a glass of champagne in her left.
"Thank you very much Mrs. Winston. I enjoyed the experience." Renee replies humbly, and avoiding eye contact. Melaine decides to rescue Renee.
"I simply don't know what I will do without her. She's been a true star." Melaine adds, in a very lively tone.
"Indeed Melaine. I can certainly see what you mean." Mrs. Winston replies. "Keep up the great work Renee." She says, and continues to circulate around the room.
Renee breathes a sigh of relief. She looks at Melaine who is quietly laughing at her. "That wasn't so bad, now was it?" Melaine teases. Renee begins to laugh too.
"It was torture." She says jokingly. "But...she seems very nice...Its just that she's The Margaret Winston. OMG!" The women laugh again, and Melaine guides Renee over to the bar for a glass of champagne.
Colin walks into the room. He is highly anticipating seeing Renee. Although he attempted to hide it earlier - for the sake of the event - he noticed Renee. He noticed everything about her. He witnessed when she slipped out following the speeches, and he couldn't help but be aroused from seeing her in the form fitted pink dress.
With her drink in hand, Renee begins to move around the exotic, yet elegant reception room-attached to Melaine's hip. She notices Colin, but pretends as though he isn't even there. This is the closests they have been in more than five weeks. After about thirty minutes, Renee eventually excuses herself. She legitimately needs to use the restroom. In a short time, she had drunk two glasses of champagne, and is half way through a third. She told herself that it is to take the edge off. Colin makes her terribly nervous. However, it just makes her need to pee at the moment. Renee whispers to Melaine, and politely exits the room.
Colin waits ten seconds, and follows Renee out of the room. He conspicuously stands near the Ladies Room door. Far enough not to appear weird, and close enough so not to miss Renee's exit in the least. Sixty seconds go by before Renee emerges again. She immediately sees Colin standing across the hallway from her. Her breathing increases.
"Please!..I have to get back in..." Renee begins to protest, and steps away from Colin. Colin seems to ignore her.
"You're amazing...Do you know that?" Colin begins. "I know that this was all you. No help from Melaine. No input from anyone...all you.
"Not true. Beverly, Natalia and their team were very helpful." Renee says bashfully. Colin steps toward her. Renee looks around. The hallway is still empty.
"You weren't even assigned an event planner from our company. You had all the ideas. You were the whole package." Colin gets closer. "Congratulations Ms. Wainwright" he almost whispers in her ear. Renee isn't sure if it's the alcohol, or just being on a high from a job well done but Colin's crisp breath on her neck felt really good just then. She doesn't protest. She doesn't move. Colin leans in closer. He whispers. "You are an amazing woman!"
Renee sighs. Her body is doing things it hasn't done since before she first slept with her ex, Ronald. Their encounters were exciting in the beginning. However, after three months or so, of their year long relationship, romance fizzled and sex became less frequent, then non-existent. Renee's body is currently speaking louder than her mind. She turns her head, wanting to leave the spot that Colin has pinned her into, but her feet wouldn't cooperate. Renee looks up into Colin's eyes. His eyes....his damn eyes seem so kind right now, floats across her mind. Colin leans in lower, and starts to kiss Renee gently on the lips.
Renee feels the touch of Colin's soft lips on hers, and wants more. She kisses him back. Colin stops. Renee looks at him confused. Colin smiles. He takes Renee by the hand, and leads her down the hotel hallway to another room he conveniently has available in the hotel. Colin retrieves the key card from his pocket hurriedly. Renee reads his facial expression. It's like he hasn't eaten in weeks. She's almost correct. Over two months. Since Colin disappeared overseas, Renee became his conscience, and inhibited his will to engage with anyone else.
Colin pulls Renee into the room, and shuts the door. He leans his back against the hotel room door, and stares at Renee who looks back at him somewhat bewildered. "I shouldn't be here." She says. Colin sighs.
"Would you like to leave?" He stands away from the door. Renee breathes heavily, and begins to walk slowly toward the door. She puts one hand on the handle, and pivots to look back at Colin. She turns again, and begins to open the door slowly. She stops, and turns fully around toward Colin, looks at him, and stands frozen in place. Colin slowly walks toward Renee. He wants to give her enough time to change her mind again. Colin reaches Renee at the door.
"Are you leaving?" He asks softly. Renee shakes her head, No.
Colin begins kissing Renee deeply. Renee kisses back. The two become enraptured in deep kisses. Colin holds on to Renee tightly. He loosens he ponytail. Voluminous hair flows past her shoulders. "You're beyond beautiful." He whispers. Renee smiles. Their kissing resumes.
Still kissing her deeply Colin reaches his hands to the back of Renee's dress, and zips it down.
Renee who is completely caught up in the moment, steps out of her dress. She walks over to the bed in a sultry fashion, and lays down on her back. Colin is pleased. He lights up, and joins her on the bed. He begins to kiss her neck,then her chest. Colin lowers the straps of her beige bra and kisses Renee's breast, and uses his mouth to play with her nipples. Renee moans in delight, and runs her hands through Colin's well trimmed brown hair.
Colin is encouraged. He continues kissing on Renee's flat chocolate stomach, and begins going lower. He removes her matching underwear. Renee squeals. She's not been pleasured in this manner in ages. Following climax, C
olin begins up her body again. She sits up to kiss Colin on the mouth. After a short moment, she motions to him to take off his pants. Clearly Colin is having a great time. Renee's eyes widen when she sees his ex-large erection. She whispers, "Don't hurt me."
"Of course not. Let's take our time. The night is ours." Colin says to her. Renee smiles, and lays on her back again. Colin climbs on top of Renee, and enters her. Colin watches as Renee groans, and squeal with pleasure. She climaxes several times. He is pleased. Colin also reaches a big finish of his own. However, that wasn't enough for them. It actually did take all night before they were both completely satisfied. Renee grew more comfortable as the night progressed. She took her turn to kiss all over Colin's body. She enjoyed kissing between his muscular thighs, and gave his penis particular, and special attention. In that moment their varying color, or ethnicity truly didn't matter. All that mattered just then, was the joy they gave one another over, and over through out the entire night.
The sun rises the following day, and peeks through the large windows in the room. Renee is the first to awaken. Fully naked, she looks across at the also naked, god-like looking man next to her. Colin is sleeping peacefully. She smiles. Renee looks around the room at their clothes on the floor. She stares at her pink dress, and Colin's business suit. She is suddenly reminded about how different they are. Not different so much because of race. Renee's parents raised her to believe that people are just people, but more so, different because he's an extremely wealthy, and powerful man who is more than ten years her senior, and she is just starting her life with no real experience. Not to mention, he can crush her heart into pieces.
Renee jumps off the bed, pulls her clothes on, and picks up her clutch purse. "This!...is why I should NEVER drink alcohol!" Renee whispers. She races out of the hotel room. She hastens to pick up her car from the hotel valet, looking back with every step. Once in her car, she takes a moment to check her cell phone. It is 6:05 am, and as expected Melaine has called repeatedly. Melaine was not blind. She had seen Colin follow Renee out of the reception. Renee throws the phone back into her small purse. Thankfully the Cherished Friends staff willing took full charge of break down, and clean up following the event.
It's a beautiful Sunday morning, but Renee needs to think. She slams down on the accelerator pedal, and drives, and drives, and drives until she can not anymore.
