Chapter 812 - Wedding party (J&J) (23) (2/2)

”Enough!”, JoAnna snapped and looked at Sharon and Millie sternly. ”I understand that you are bitter about Jasper being with Ellie, but don't you dare spoil my evening because of that.”

Sharon and Millie were surprised that JoAnna is so direct. No filter, as usually. Two of them exchanged glances before walking further away, joining Vincent, Bradley, Christopher and Russel.

JoAnna looked at Jasper. ”If you don't tell them clearly about your intentions, they will keep on coming back.”

”I told them that I'm interested only in this girl.” Jasper defended himself while pulling Ellie closer. He glanced at the guys and saw that Steve, Felix and Jeff are giving him approving nods. Jeff even flashed a quick thumbs up.

Ellie froze. She is not used to Jasper's display of affection, and the fact that he did it in front of others only made it more… uncomfortable.

”They will not give up until they find another target.” Sophia offered her opinion.

”You can sacrifice Tom.” JoAnna suggested.

Ellie sighed and shook her head. Before dinner, Tom told her that he can see that situation between her and Jasper is promising, and he left the wedding.

”There is no need to sacrifice anyone. It all depends on this guy's attitude.” Ellie tilted her head toward Jasper.

”What is wrong with my attitude?”

Ellie reminded herself that when Jasper is not playing games, he is direct. She should match that if she wants to keep up. ”Nothing. Right now, you are doing great. But I don't know how long you can keep it up.”

”You don't have much trust in me, do you?” Jasper remembered that guys told him how with girls is all about the trust.

Ellie held his hand and squeezed it gently. ”Trust is earned, not given. But as I said, so far you are doing great.”

Jasper smiled. He can live with that… he is doing great.

With a high-pitched whistling sound first rocket was launched in the air and the magnificent aerial fireworks started.

Jeff pulled JoAnna into his embrace and held her tightly as the fireworks started.

JoAnna glanced around… Jill and Trevor were further down the beach, Felix and Sophia are right next to them, Ellie was almost lost in Jasper's embrace, Steve and Bridgette were holding each other, Emma and Brian were kissing and didn't pay attention to the fireworks, Sharon and Millie were with other groomsmen. Everyone was happily watching fireworks (except Emma and Brian).

”When do you want us to leave?”, Jeff's breath tickled JoAnna's neck.

”As soon as the fireworks end.” She could not wait to leave and start their honeymoon. Just the two of them. Well, plus the bodyguards who will be on the other side of the island due to extra security measures they agreed on, but unless they call for them, it will be just the two of them.

Jeff kissed JoAnna's temple and tightened his hug. He took a deep breath and enjoyed sight of the colorful explosions in the sky with his wife by his side. WIFE!

The fireworks ended with a three minute long grand-finale which earned a lot of 'Ohs' and 'Ahs' .

As promised, Jeff and JoAnna didn't linger. As soon as fireworks ended, they bid farewell to the people on the beach and headed toward the helicopter while accepting greetings and well wishes from the rest of their family and guests on the way to the helipad.
