Chapter 1118 - Happy birthday, Jeff (3) (1/2)
Sarah and Aiden are blazing on the dancefloor. They are doing their own thing, not caring about anyone or anything around them. It's a party, and they decided to enjoy themselves.
Occasionally, between two songs they are interrupted by their kids who are confirming successful completion of their mission for the afternoon.
”They are doing much better than I thought they would, considering that it's their first time they need to get information from strangers.”, Sarah voiced her thoughts while looking after one batch of kids who happily left the venue.
Most of the kids were eager to go and explore the resort. Staying in the hall after food and watching people dance is not very interesting.
Aiden agreed with Sarah but…”There are few who are struggling…” He was referring to Ade, Jamari, Masika and Imani. The four of them missed their chance right after lunch when people started chatting, and now it's increasingly difficult to cut in when the target is already engaged in a discussion with someone.
Sarah noticed them as well. ”I specifically told them to pay attention to six who acted as couples during the weekend, but they ignored that advice. I'm sure they learned their lesson and will do better next time…”
Ah, parenting is hard…
…
Sophia is moving and bending under Felix's guidance. Oh, how she loves to dance with her husband. The way he grips her waist and occasionally their bodies touch 'accidentally' makes her all heated.
”Two more days…”, Sophia whispered close to Felix's ear.
Felix let out a low growl from the back of his throat and pulled her close to him.
Sophia inhaled sharply when she felt that he is turned on.
Oh, God! This will be long two days!
The doctor said to wait six weeks, so they need to wait. Two more days. Both of them took Monday off from work. They have a lot of catching up to do.
…
Jasper and Ellie are dancing to their own beat, holding each other tightly.
”This is the same place where you told me not to pursue you, because it will not end well.”, Jasper reminded Ellie.
She remembered that she said that about six months ago (give or take a day). They were in this same event hall for Jeff's and JoAnna's wedding rehearsal dinner.
Ellie narrowed her eyes at Jasper. ”This is the same place you flirted with two nurses while asking me if it's OK to pursue me for a one night stand.”
Jasper cleared his throat awkwardly. She got him there, but he will try to salvage it. ”Yes. One night... One by one, it adds up to a lifetime.”
Ellie smiled at her cheeky smoking-hot fiancé. ”If someone told me then that we will return here in six months while planning our wedding, I would call that person a liar.”
”Me too.”, Jasper admitted and tightened his hold on Ellie. ”Me too…”, he repeated.
He has to admit (to himself only) that at the time of rehearsal dinner he saw Ellie as a potential one night stand, and he was annoyed by her rejection. By the wedding day he realized that she is different. And now he is confident that Ellie is the only one with whom he wants to spend his life with… and he will never let go of her.
…
Russel and Christopher noticed that Vincent is… missing. They assumed that he went to the restroom, but when he didn't return for some time, his friends started looking around and they found him on the dancefloor.
”Who is that woman?”, Russel asked. ”Why is she smiling like that? Vincent is NOT a funny guy!”
”That is Ashley Mitchell.”, Christopher responded to Russel's first question.
Russel paused before asking: ”Mitchell? Like Henry Mitchell's daughter? The CEO of Mitchell laboratories?”
Christopher nodded while silently confirming that those gazes Vincent and Ashley are exchanging mean only one thing: the Cupid struck again.
Christopher sighed. ”It's down to two of us…”
”No way!”, Russel could NOT accept that.
