Chapter 789 - Wedding party (J&J) (2) (1/2)

”Mrs. White, can I have your next dance?”, Jeff asked JoAnna in a low voice.

JoAnna became aware of all the people staring at them and leaned away from Jeff shyly.

'Oh, God! Did we just French kiss in front of all these people?' She hoped that she didn't moan, like how she usually does when things get… heated.

JoAnna tried to step away, but soon realized that she can't move from Jeff, because his left arm was firmly pressed around her waist.

She nodded in response to his question, smile not leaving her face despite her embarrassment.

Jeff made some movement toward the band with his right hand and in next second the music filled the space and his right hand was holding onto JoAnna's left one.

It didn't take more than few beats for JoAnna to realize that Jeff is moving more than usually when they are dancing. His left arm adjusted position, allowing his palm to rest on her back and guide her movements over the dancefloor skillfully.

”When did you take dance lessons?”, JoAnna asked after he made her spin the second time, amazement apparent in her expression.

”Secret...”, his lips curved into a smug smile.

Jeff enjoyed how JoAnna looked at him at that moment. All those painful hours he sneaked in during workdays paid off. This expression on JoAnna's face… it's all worth it.

JoAnna was so dazed by newly discovered Jeff's dancing moves that it took her a while to realize that Jeff is singing to her while dancing. 'Oh, can this man be any more amazing?!!'

'Yes, he can…' , JoAnna silently concluded when she observed the lyrics which touched her heart. It's one of her favorite songs and Jeff was using it to tell her how he is in love with her, and it keeps getting better… and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her by his side, forever… and that their every time feels like first time… (blush, blush)

About halfway through the song, Jeff nodded toward the area reserved for wedding party and family, and Aiden and Sarah joined them on the dancefloor, followed by Sophia and Felix.

Few others wanted to join as well, but they were not sure if that nod from Jeff was for them as well or not… so they decided to wait it out. Just to be safe. Jasper wanted to ask Ellie for a dance, but she was avoiding his gaze, so he hesitated.

Second song started, and few more brave ones joined our three couples on the dancefloor. Jill with her fiancé were the first. Jill was never the one to miss on an opportunity to dance with Trevor. Oscar and Elanor with Edward and Stella were next to join with many more to follow.

By the time Jasper gathered his courage to look toward Ellie, she was already on her way to the dancefloor with Tom by her side. Jasper grumbled unhappily while blaming himself for hesitating, but he told himself that the party just started, and he will get his chance. Jasper refused Sharon's and Millie's invitations to dance saying that he does not feel like it. He wondered if these two will ever give up. Didn't they get a hint that he is not interested? Probably not, because he was leading them on previously. He told himself that next time they approach him, he needs to clarify things properly.

Crowd who watched so far, got divided into some who went to dance and majority who went back to their drinks and chatting.

Emma was over the moon while dancing with Brian. She loves to dance, and he is good at it… well, with that body and looks, even if he is not so good, Emma would not notice. She had to admit to herself by their third dance that she is falling for his green eyes. And the way he looked at her told her that he likes her as well. Few songs in, Emma suggested that they go and get drinks and Brian frowned.

”You want to dance more?”, Emma observed his reluctance to stop dancing.

He nodded in response. ”But I know that we can't hide here forever.”

”Hide?”, Emma was confused with his choice of words.

”Earlier, few women ambushed me with questions about my outfit. They recognized it as EY brand and were very persistent to find out how I got my hands on this exclusive item which is not available on market yet.”

”Why don't you tell them you are modeling for Ellie?”

Brian refused that idea. ”Then they are all over me while trying to get Queen's contact information because they see me as someone who can get them insider's connection. These rich people think that everything can be solved with money.”
