17 Birthday party 2 (2/2)

”I don't get what you mean Julia?” I said.

”I'm sorry you don't have a date tonight. Shawn have promised me a long time ago to escort me.” Julia was rubbing herself as the rightful partner.

Guests started to chatter around us.

”But the news clearly showed Shawn and Queenie together.” a woman said.

”But there wasn't any confirmation until now. Maybe she was really just Shawn's fling.” another said.

”Shawn is a bachelor and was never linked to anyone. So having such a public display of affection confirms that they are goins out right.” a man said.

”But in the last years Julia has always been seen with Shawn as well. Isn't there talks that they are together?” another one said.

Julia gives a satisfactory smile. I admit she was doing a good job shaming me. With Shawn seen by her side just gives her a point above me.

Shawn can't stand the talks of the guests. ”Julia please stop these. Guests will misunderstand.” he said.

”But it's true right. You're the one with me now while she's alone.” Julia said sarcastically.

Shawn was trying to control his irritation. He didn't like what Julia is doing. But they were in public now where eyes are focused on them. He was about to say sorry to Queenie.

”Queenie...” Shawn started. But his sentence was cut off.

”Don't you have a date tonight lovely lady?” a voice from behind me said.

I know this voice. I looked back and saw him. He was wearing a white tuxedo and golden bow tie. His brown hair was styled back. His green eyes shines like emeralds. My angel.

”Then let me be your date tonight.” Troy put his arms around my waist and smiled.
