Author’s Pov

 

After Christian and Evelyn got back to the penthouse, Christian carried Evelyn to their room and laid her on the bed.

“ Babe are you okay? Tell me , where does it hurt. Are you hungry? How about I go make you something?” Christian bombarded her with questions and was about to stand up but Evelyn stopped him.

“No no no babe” she chuckled “ I just want you here with me” She said and pulled him closer to herself. Christian snuggled in and wrapped his arms around her.

“Are you sure that you are fine?” He asked again and Evelyn nodded her head.

“Can I ask you a question?” Evelyn asked

“Sure”

“Ok Uhm… you and Jessica Uhm, you only see her as a friend right?” Evelyn asked and her heart raced.

Christian stared at her before bursting out in laughter.

“Wait hold up . So you were not sick , you were just jealous” he said and continued laughing.

“It’s not funny“ she frowned her face and hit him on the arm. “What if I’m jealous, don’t I have the right to be?”

“Okay Evelyn, fine.  I am sorry that you were jealous. I just want you to know that there is nothing to be jealous of. You are my fiancé and Jess is my best friend. To be fair, she has known me longer . We have been friends all our lives and I will not treat her differently just because I am about to get married. You just have to trust me when I say there is nothing romantic between I and Jess, okay? I am not that kind of man and I will never cheat on you. Even Jess will never let me be that type of man. So trust me okay?” Christian assured her.

“Okay, I trust you “ Evelyn agreed. She needed that assurance because as beautiful as she is, Christian is the only thing that will make her feel insecure about herself. She loves this man so much and wants to be his till she takes her last breath.

Three hours Later

“Are you guys ready because I can’t wait to partttty!!!” Molly screamed out of excitement.

“We are ready babe” Jake said “ Oooh you look breathtaking darling. How about we ditch the party and go back to the room”  Jake flirted as he tried to trace his fingers underneath Molly’s dress.

“How about you put a ring on this finger first” Molly grabbed and twisted his finger before he could go any further.

“Ouch Babe. Ok please stop” Jake groaned in pain before Molly released his finger.

“You look hot when you are in charge Babe” Jake continued flirting as he wrapped his arms around her hips and took her lips in a juicy kiss.

“Arrrrhhh will you two stop making out!!!” Jessica’s shout broke their make out session.

“Jealous much?” Molly teased her

“Whatever let’s go “

 

They got to the party and everybody already seemed drunk. Some people were having the time their lives dancing, some at the bar while some at the pool table playing all sort of games.

“Guys let’s go sit over there” Molly pointed at an empty table. They all squeezed their way through the drunk dancing crowd and took their seats.  Luke signaled the bartender over to their table.

“Seven Tequila shots please” He ordered

“Make it six and a glass of apple juice please ” Christian changed the order
“Apple juice? I am not sure we have that sir” the bartender stated

“Then find it” Christian sneered with a little cold aura.

“Ok..ok..sir, Will tha…that be all?” The bartender asked as he stammered from the chill he got from Christian.

“Yes” he replied and the bartender scurried away.

“The apple juice better not be for me” Jessica frowned.

“Who else do you think it’s for” Christian smirked.

“Well you guys are not allowed to drink too remember or should I call Elder Jude from the synagogue. I am sure he would like to hear this and tell your Dad how irresponsible you have been” Jessica threatened

“That is exactly why we are taking just one shot. At least we don’t get drunk from one shot unlike someone I know. You know what? Go ahead and call him , you seem to forget that you got drunk yesterday? I am sure he will like to hear this and tell your Mom how irresponsible you are” Christian threatened back and she glared at him.

“Your drinks sir” the bartender interrupted their argument. He placed the drinks on the table “ Uhm.. I’m sorry sir but apple juice is not available…. This is all I could find”  it was a  tiny  apple juice box.

“Even better” Christian took the juice box and placed it in front of Jessica but not before smirking at her.

“I hate you” Jessica glared at him, took the juice box and started sucking out of it with a straw.

“I love you too” Christian chuckled “Do you know how cute you look right now?”

“Do you know how annoying you are right now “ Jessica fired back.

“Enough with the bickering you two, look who is coming “ Molly signaled . It was Peter, walking towards our table.

“Hey you guys came” Peter said looking directly at Jessica.

“Yes we did, thanks for the invite” she said  

“Thanks for coming “ he looked at the table “ a juice box I see” he smiled

“She’s not allowed to drink” Christian cut Jessica off before she could reply

“I can see that” he said still looking at Jessica “I was wandering if you would like to dance?” he asked and Jessica blushed a little

“Uh…Uhm” Jessica was short of words

“Yes she would love to” Molly replied for her and glared at her to stand up.

Jessica glared back at her but took his hand anyways and left for the dance floor.

“Look at her all grown up, having potential suitors” Molly pretended to wipe a fake tear

“Psssst” Christian frowned. Molly glared at him but decided to not pay him any attention.

“Babe , wanna dance?” Jake asked Molly

“Yes babe” they both went to the dance floor, so did Luke and Sharpay.

It was only Christian and Evelyn that were left at the table but he was busy glaring at the giggling Jessica the whole time.
