Julian had a hard time choosing an outfit. She
searched her wardrobe severally. She sat down on her reading desk and sighs. "I wish Emma was still here. She's way too excited than I am. Humm". She looked at
the mess she made with her clothes. She sighted a blue coloured shorts. "That looks nice. Where's the top?".She began searching once again. "I'm sure I saw it a while ago." After a while she decided to pick another top. She choose a white polo (Alfred's top). "I hope he won't mind". "Maybe I shouldn't go" She picked up her phone to call Alfred but changed her mind. she found a message from an unknown number. She clicked on it. It was pictures with an attachment.
'It's Ethan, I just thought I should send this to you. Don't show anyone. Please don't say no to the invitation see how hard he's trying.'
She laughed as she saw the pictures. Alfred chopping vegetables, the boys together with flour smeared all over the place, Alfred and Jeff dragging a bowl of meat, floor painted with flour, the boys dancing and Alfred looking grumpy. Then a short video. She played
it.
"Give me that". Alfred yelled at Jeff who was carrying a bowl of meat.
"I'm the taster, remember".
"Give it. You did no work".
"I did a lot. It's not easy to do no work". They began to drag the bowl. Jeff slipped and dragged Alfred along they both ended on the floor
"Hope you captured that". Lian said.
''Sure did". Ethan replied
"Delete that" Jeff and Alfred yelled. Alfred made tried to stand up but slipped again. He tried again and succeeded. He rushed towards the phone and the video ended.
"It's worth it. it is". She smiled at herself.
*Alfred's room*
"I'm glad you all made it.". Lian spoke.
"You're such a terrible host. " Jeff mocked
"Sush, I'm practicing my welcome speech".
"Are you throwing a party?
"Maybe. Just sush"
"Cut it out you two". Alfred interrupted.
"What have you planned for us Mr host". Ethan teased.
"You'll see'".. A knock was heard. "My guests are here, behave".
"Not after everything. Why did he make us work so hard"..
"Welcome." Lian welcomed the guests.
''I like her". Jeff whispered as soon as he sighted Emma.
"You and your random choice". Ethan teased.
"I've got a good feeling about her. A positive one"
"A positive one". Alfred and Ethan repeated. As soon as Julian entered, Ethan who was sitting beside Alfred stood up and sat at another spot. Ethan, Lian and Jeff
watched Alfred and Julian keenly to get their reactions.
Julian was quick to understand. She walked towards Alfred and kissed him lightly on the lips. Alfred smiled
"Not convincing". He whispered. Julian brushed her lips against his.
"Who cares?". She whispers back.
"Hey you two, don't oppress the single". Lian said.
Julian shyly sat beside Alfred. "I'm glad you all came. We're all here to keep each other company".
"Boring". Jeff interrupted and Lian glared at him.
"He's your host". Lian pointed at Jeff. "I'll leave it all to him"
"No am not." Jeff replied and everyone laughed.
