"What can I say not much difference happened after you left apart from what you see and know". Waylen replied.
"Hmm, why are you saying the same thing that Geal said". Finley asks looking at Waylen suspiciously.
"Look see let me tell you nobody knew you were going to attend Rowan's birthday party ok, it came as a shocker to all of us, we didn't even know that you were back from college".
"Okay, ok I have heard you," Finley said rolling her eyes.
Waylen stands up.
"Are you going to the penthouse?" Finley asked standing up too.
"Yeah", Waylen said looking around the restaurant.
A waiter walks up to Waylen.
"Here it is, sir".
The waiter said handing over a small box to Waylen.
"Thanks a lot".
"I am at your service". the waiter replied politely and left.
Finley looks at Waylen with an 'I know what you are doing' face.
"Stop giving me that look". Waylen said flatly as he walks away from her.
Finley followed behind him immediately.
"I know that, that person is not a waiter,"
Waylen stops in his tracks and turned to her and replied with a straight face.
"Okay and so, what do you know?".
"Sneaking in drugs to a party through a mule disguised as a waiter is a crime".
Waylen smirks at her and said, "Don't act like you are the better person here, please".
"Well, I am," Finley said with a smug face.
The penthouse has been re-decorated for the night party. Food, wines, and other services have been delivered.
Eve and Baara went to the rooftop infinity swimming pool in the penthouse, Eve took off her clothes and remains only in her underwear as she dives into the pool, while Baara sat down on the water pool lounge chair on the swimming pool deck munching on some snacks.
The swimming pool sparkled under the starry night, looking down from the edge of the swimming pool one could see the bustling city in a broad view.
"Too bad I can't swim," Baara said looking at Eve who was looking down at the city on the edge of the swimming pool.
Eve swam back to Baara and said "It's not that hard to learn you know, you are just scared",
"No, I am not scared of swimming pools especially not one looking like this". Baara retorted.
"Then come in!" Eve said
"Nope".
Eve rolled her eyes at Baara and continued her swimming.
"Oh! Here you guys are," Ariel said as she walked toward Baara and Eve.
Freya followed behind her with a tray of sweets.
"Why aren't you swimming Baara?". Ariel asked taking off her clothes.
"Well, I can't.....",
"She has hydro-phobia!". Eve interrupted Baara jokingly.
"Nope, it's just I can't swim here". Baara retorted.
"Hmm, I think I get it, because of the boys right?" Freya asked as she sat down on the lounger next to Baara.
"Yeah, I am not comfortable taking off my clothes around new people, especially boys". Baara replied honestly.
"That's okay, I used to be like that too, I am still like that tho just that I am more comfortable with boys that I am close to and trust," Freya said to Baara in a comforting way.
Ariel dives into the pool and starts swimming to the edge of the pool.
"This view is amazing!"
Ariel exclaimed looking down at the night city.
"Yeah, it's really beautiful". Eve spoke out.
"Who wants sweets?" Freya asked ready to throw the sweets in her hands to the pool.
"Meeee!" Ariel screamed childishly and as swims back to the pool deck.
"Alright, catch!" Freya said throwing the sweets in her hands to the pool.
Ariel tries to catch it playfully as she makes water splashes while Eve was shouting "I caught one, I got one!" jumping playfully.
Baara shakes her head slowly smiling at the playful duo.
"What's up, ladies?" Geal asked with a smile on his face walking toward the group of lasses.
He had taken off his clothes and only came out to swim in swimwear.
"Not fine, why did you invite Finley?" Ariel asked giving him disappointed look.
"Look see I am tired okay,.." Geal said trying to dive into the pool head first.
"Tired of what, exactly?" Freya asked.
"You shouldn't do that, diving headfirst into a swimming pool is bad and can cause fatal internal injuries". Baara warned Geal.
Geal smirks, "Thanks for the warning".
Ariel scoffed.
"Geal has done more dangerous stuff than this, including bringing that annoying girl to this party".
"Oh please," Geal said as he enters the pool feet first.
"Rowan was angry at me for 'inviting his crazy-ex' to the party, like that's not my fault everything she said to you guys was a lie, okay!". He continued.
"So you didn't invite her,?" Freya asked with a dull expression.
"Yes, I didn't, she called me one day and was asked about the venue where Rowan will be celebrating his birthday and I was shocked she still got my number, and I also think she has been stalking Rowan too, she is crazy".
"So why did you keep it away from us then, She said she told you to keep quiet about her coming to this party because she wanted it to be a surprise for Rowan".
Ariel said to Geal with a doubting face.
"Yeah she did tell me to keep quiet about her but that's not because she was planning to surprise Rowan at the party, she said I shouldn't tell you guys about her return from college, jeez!"
Geal retorted as he beckons on Freya to throw him some sweets, Freya rolled her eyes as she threw some for him in the pool in another direction so that he wouldn't catch it, but with his reflexes, he was able to catch some sweets before they drop in the pool.
Geal grinned mockingly at Freya, who was not shocked but rather had a dull look on her face.
"Umm, not to be nosy but can I ask why you guys don't want her around, what happened between you guys?" Eve asked curiously.
"Wowww!, here you guys are, can I join in?". Finley asked walking towards them.
