I have never been to a glamorous party. But as we got out of the Sedan, everything was like a fairy tale. Everyone is wearing masks since it's a masquerade annual party where business partners and the whole corporation are celebrating this event. And how to improve and talk about funding a few things. Since their company is about having income and at the same time, helping the environment.
I saw Zac and Maeve with their twins who are also dressed up properly. She's still glamorous though she got a big round belly. The twins are holding hands as Zac is holding the little girl's hand and Warren is with them.
"You guys dressed for a wedding," Grandma noted as Travis escorted Grandma. "Or did you both just get married?" I chuckled as Francis tighten his hand over my hand that is rested at the crook of his arm.
I meet the twins and Zoe is so beautiful the same as Zeke who looks so much like Zac. Well, the twins are identical. Though they look identical, Zoe is the twin who looked so feminine and as for Zeke who looked so masculine. Francis ask for wines and he murmured something about the wines, and it was served to us. Different wine for me and for Maeve since we are both pregnant.
I meet different people in the corporation. As his girlfriend of course, but soon, he might say that I'm his wife. I don't know if it will ever happen. I always dreamed to be a wife of someone who adored me and love me so much and I hope that it is Francis because he's just so perfect.
Zac talked and he's very a good speaker. He had a strong sense of humor that made the whole speech not boring but he is direct to the point on the theme of the party and in making the Global companies more productive and blah, blah, blah.
Francis asked for different foods since we are all sitting in a long table and the dinner has started. There are things that I don't like, and I try to avoid them all. Francis even took me to the bathroom just to vomit. Then I came back, and Francis had put a few things away from me.
I never had someone like Francis with me. He's so much caring and he doesn't care if people started judging him that I'm being dominant or whatnots. I ate gracefully though I am pregnant. Maeve and I are just close to each other as we eat.
"Do you need anything else?" he asked me.
"Is there a chocolate mousse?" I mutter on him.
"I'll check the kitchen." He stood and walk briskly.
"Wow," Colt who is sitting at the other side of Francis whistle. "See, I told you." He grins at me.
"Stop it Colt." I frown at him.
"Could you possibly cook for me as well?"
"What?"
"Something." He grins. "Francis must be enjoying your cooking."
"He's the one who cooked for me more." Colt seemed to pout like a little boy. "Haven't Francis cook for you?" he shook his head. Francis came with a tray of chocolate mousse for me, for the kids and Maeve.
"I didn't know that you taught yourself how to cook." Colt delivered every word with a hint of sulkiness. Francis looked at him quizzically. "I should've let you be with her. I'm getting jealous." I wanted to laugh at how he says it without any stammering. Colt is so adorable.
I watch him as he eats while pouting and sulking from what he had discovered about Francis. Francis patted Colt like a little child. While Travis started laughing. I do know these guys. They might be Casanovas, but they have a heart, beating waiting for that right woman to make that playful heart of them skip a beat and only beats to that 'the one'.
Look at Zac, he's busy feeding Zoe who seemed to be papa's girl while Zeke as well as a Mama's boy. They just look like a perfect family. The family that I never had. My life wasn't so good at all. But somehow, I manage to think that I could give a perfect family to this child that I and Francis make, accidentally. Though there's no love between us, there's still this sparkle and attraction.
The party goes on, more on drinking, more on socializing and there is performance to keep the entertainment. I feel tired but Maeve is more looking tired. Zac brought them to their suite while grandma was escorted by Travis back to her suite as well.
"You tired?" he asked me.
"I can't leave you until this party is over," I told him.
"I can't let you tire yourself. It is bad for the baby and you as well." He caressed my stomach where his arm is usually wrapped behind me and keep caressing my sides.
Colt is sitting across us, pouting and looking like a left-out child. Damn, how could Colt this handsome and adorable at the same time. I always love his caramel eyes and his pouted lips. He looked like a child.
"Could you come here closer, Colt?" he stood and did what I ask. He caressed his hair and pinch his cheeks which makes him squeal. "Don't!" I warn him and keep pinching him. I just couldn't help myself. He's so fucking adorable. I could kiss him all day.
"Baby, why are you harassing him?" Francis manages to ask. I don't even know why I'm harassing him.
"He's just so adorable," I answer and pinch his nose and then hold his hand not to let him go.
"Baby," Colt whimpers like a dog. "Colt you could leave." Colt finally get away from my gripped and left. Sadness fills me in and of course the annoyance through Francis. I smack his chest and pushes his hand away.
"Why did you make him leave?!" I scowl at him. I just feel the blood rushing up to my face and my head.
"Hey," he calms me down before I get scandalous. I did calm myself. Fuck, what the hell is wrong with me? "Why won't we go back to our hotel? I'll let Colt and Warren handle it." he waves at Warren and Warren nodded.
