Chapter 4 - Announcement

As they came down they saw Mr. Cullen standing in front ready to make an announcement "Here comes my boy and on this occasion of Christmas I would like to tell you that my son is getting married to Miss Jefferson so I would request both of them to come up on the stage."

Jamie was shocked with this announcement and so were the guests but one could not have seen Charles much happier than he was at this time knowing that his happiness was only one sided but he was happy that she would be with him. For the first time in his whole life he felt this happy as he fell in love for the first time at first sight. Her looks did capture his heart at first but then her fierce nature totally captivated it and it was not at this moment it happened in the room, she was the love of her life since long. He went to the stage happily taking large strides.

On the contrary Jamie hated him to the amount that only one look of his face would set her heart on fire so with a fear she took small steps towards the stage. When both of them were standing on each side of Mr. Cullen, he continued to speak "On this wonderful occasion I would like to give you all a surprise news but before that let us see this adorable couple dance."

Jamie could not move a step forward as she felt her feet feeze in their place so Charles moved closer to her placing one hand on her waist sending shiver through her body that was when she came to realise that this was not a dream she came back to reality and placed one hand on his shoulder and the other one in his free hand. It seemed as if that was the most loving couple but only they knew the truth. Jamie had a smile on her face but if one had looked closely one could tell that the look in her eyes suggested that they wanted to kill the man in front of her, she maintained her distance but Charles took this opportunity to pull her closer, her eyes getting harsh with each pull. She wanted to push him away but they had to pretend in public so she softly danced to the music.

This was the happiest moment for Charles knowing that it would be impossible to get a hold of her alone so he pulled her as close as he could in the public. After they had danced enough he gave a notorious smile with and a plan in his mind he instantly pressed his lips against hers not giving her a moment to think. She rolled her hands into fists because she could not push him when the crowd was watching.

Soon there was hooting and whistling all over the place as the crowd enjoyed their intimacy. Slowly Jamie took a few steps away from him giving him a death stare, he was totally moved by it recounting his actions.

As soon as Mr. Cullen saw this stare he moved to the stage decreasing the tension between them clearing his voice he said "I would like to make this Christmas Eve more beautiful and best for our families." he pulled both of them forward, held their hands and paused for a little while.
