Chapter 15 - AT THE BEACH CLUB

AT ALAYAH'S HOUSE (MORNING):

Alayah was sitting at the table, she was searching for jobs on her laptop, and on the table, there were some barriers, bananas, grapes, slices of bread, cheese, and an omelet. Meanwhile, Elin arrived holding the cups of tea.

"Luna, come on, the breakfast is ready", Alayah called Luna.

"Alayah, should I call Erik?" Elin asked her.

"Who is Erik?" Alayah asked.

"He is Aaron's friend, the person who gave me the card at that event, I told you that I lost it but last night I found it", Elin said.

"No this is not the reality, say properly that Eric who believes that you own a fashion house", Alayah said.

"Well, obviously I would be a fashion designer but in the future", Elin replied.

"Elin, if you want to call him, sure go ahead, but please tell him the truth", Alayah said.

"Why aren't you paying close attention to what I'm saying? Why do you keep staring at the screen of your laptop?" Elin asked.

"Just looking for the job, I got a number, they need a cook in hush hours, I will call them", Alayah said.

(The doorbell rung)

Luna opened the door, Walter was there, he was holding a big box, and said "Hello, I am looking for Ms. Alayah, this package is for her".

"I am her sister, you can give it to me", Luna said.

"Okay, it is from Mr. Aaron Lincoln", Walter said and left.

"Sister, your ex-boss sent this for you", Luna said and gave that dress to Alayah. She opened the box and, in the box, there was the off-shoulder cyan-colored maxi.

"This is the maxi which was designed by Elin, right? Why it was at Aaron's place", Luna asked.

"Oh, she wore it for that Japanese association", Elin said carelessly, and Luna's face was shocked.

"Did you take off the dress at Aaron's house? Oh, what happened? I am so excited, tell me", Luna asked.

"Luna, Elin will tell you everything", Alayah tried to avoid her.

"Your sister went to Mr. Aaron's place just to make coffee for the Japanese guests, you know very well that your sister can speak Japanese…" Elin told her.

"Come to the point, just tell me how and why she took her dress off", Luna asked.

"You got such a dirty mind", Elin said.

"Luna, let me tell you, I had to serve the coffee, and it did not look appropriate to serve it in an off-shoulder maxi that is why I wore something casual", Alayah said.

"How boring", Luna said and left the room.

AT ALAYAH'S HOUSE (EVENING):

"Chop a sack of potatoes, chop onions, cook patties, I just have to sit in this house and chop these things" Alayah was talking to herself when Elin arrived in the kitchen.

"How's my hairstyle, angry bird", Elin asked.

"Your in-laws are coming?" Alayah asked.

"Come on, you said that we have to attend the event, we would go to listen to music", Elin said.

"I said we were invited, I didn't say that we are going", Alayah shouted.

"I am not listening, stand up, go to the room, there are three dresses I have placed on the bed, choose whatever suits you", Elin said, "We are going to listen Reese", she added.

"Rosie, it's Rosie! You are going to listen to her but, you do not even know her name, you just know how to pour glitter on your head, and you think you are looking like a princess", Alayah said.

"We will go to listen to Rosie's music, stop chopping, go and dress up," Elin said.

"Can't you see I am angry, and cooking makes me calm, I am trying to meditate", Alayah said while chopping the potatoes.

"My dear Alayah, even adoring yourself calms you, stand in front of the mirror, dress well, and put on some makeup, this is also a kind of meditation", Elin said.

"Rossie invited Aaron too, I don't want any drama or action in my life", Alayah said.

"Do not look at his face, I can't believe just because he is coming to the event you are restricting yourself, like seriously, who the hell is he?" Elin said.

"I do not restrict myself", Alayah said.

"You do", Elin replied.

"No, I don't, I will text Denzel and will tell him to join me, and Elin you look so beautiful", Alayah said with a smile.

AT THE BEACH CLUB:

Alayah was wearing black jeans with a red top; Elin was in a halter dress while Luna was wearing a strapless shirt. They were standing outside the club, from a distance Alayah saw Denzel, who was walking towards them with a smiling face.

"Alayah, I am sorry for being late", Denzel said.

"No, we just got here", Elin replied and Lua was consistently looking at Denzel.

"I am Elin, and you must be the famous Denzel", Elin said.

"I am just Denzel, not a famous one", Denzel said.

"I am Una, nice to meet you", Luna said. Alayah knew her sister very well, she was looking at how she is approaching Denzel, the cat-walk, the doll-like face, the cat's eyes, etc.

"Denzel, she is my sister, Luna", Alayah said.

"Shall we go?" Denzel said without even looking at Luna.

They walked inside the club and Denzel showed them their table, and he left.

"Alayah, I think Denzel feels something for you, he can't take his eyes off, I am telling you if he tried to look at you again, I will directly walk towards him and will ask him to send a marriage proposal right away", Elin said, "and put the ring in my Alayah's finger", she added.

"Elin doesn't drive me crazy, when did this Denzel get famous? When?" Alayah asked.

"Come on, he is so handsome and not arrogant at all, I am saying you if he didn't propose to you, you will propose to him", Elin said.

"Huh, it feels like everyone is standing in a queue for my Alayah with rings in their hands", Luna said.

"Denzel is just a friend", Alayah said and Elin tried to hide her face.

"What are you doing?" Alayah asked.

"Please stand in front of me, he is there", Elin said while hiding.

"Who?" Luna asked and looked around.

"Erik, Erik, he is here", Elin said.

"I forgot who was Erik", Luna asked.

"Oh, just shut up, the card man, you stupid", Elin tried to explain.

"Oh, he is the one who thinks that you are an owner of a fashion house", Luna said.

"Alayah, why Erik is here? Can't Aaron come by himself?" Elin said.

"I asked you to talk to him, come on, go ahead", Alayah said.

"No, no, I am leaving", Elin said and walked towards the door to leave.

"Elin! Don't you dare leave, you brought us here", Alayah said.

"Sorry, I can't tell him the truth and even don't want to tell a lie", Elin said and left.

"Here are the drinks", Denzel arrived while holding a tray.

"Hey, where is Elin?" Denzel asked.

"She needed to run away", Luna said.

"Come on, Elin… her aunt, yes her aunt was sick so Elin went to meet her", Alayah said. Erik and Aaron approached them. Aaron put his hand on Denzel's shoulder.

"Hey bro, I am so happy that you came", Denzel said while shaking hands with Aaron and Erik.

"Hey, I am Erik, I have heard about your food", Erik said to Alayah.

"Thank you, nice to meet you", Alayah said.

"Alayah, Erik is my old friend", Denzel said, "Erik, meet her, she is Alayah's sister."

"Oh, nice to meet you", Erik said to Luna who immediately became alert, and tried to make that specific doll-like face, but even Erik didn't notice. Aaron started looking at Alayah, to avoid eye contact, Alayah started drinking.
