After Melvin makes his way through the mob and searches for the closest restroom, I am left sitting at the table by myself.
A chair is dragged out in the other direction from me, and Abby sits in it. "Do you remember me from high school?"
Does she want to look back on the past? We were not friends in high school.
I am focused on her. "I did not forget you. During that time, you were the silent nerd who had a thing for Miguel, who was also a nerd at the time, but Miguel also played basketball, which made him a little bit cooler.
Abby lets out a chuckle. "That's true." At the table, she is leaning across. "I need your help."
How can I help her?
I am aware of a pair of eyes focusing on me, and when I turn around, I see Seraphina staring at Abby with a wicked glare. "What do you need?"
"How did you get Melvin to propose to you?" As she does so, she turns her gaze to the room's rear, where Miguel stands. "I want Miguel to notice me more than a friend."
I let out a sigh. When it comes to you, Abby, he is not going to be more than just a friend. Seraphina is the object of Miguel's affection. When she is on the other side of the room, his eyes are on her to ensure she is secure. Can't you tell by the fact that he can't take his eyes off of her for even five seconds, even if she is in another room? Abby, he will never treat you in such a manner. Please don't bother with him anymore. You will find a large number of men at this location.
A loud slam of her hand is heard on the table. "I'm going to get him with or without your help."
"Good luck with that."
I take my phone out of my pocket to communicate with Seraphina and send her a message.
Melvin is sitting next to me, putting his arm over my shoulder as he does so. 'I noticed that you were going to Abby. To what end did she want?
I am asked to assist her in removing Miguel from Seraphina's custody. The woman in question is just as insane as..."
I am interrupted by Melvin. "Michelle," he says to Abby as he glances at her. It is true. What causes some ladies to change their opinion of themselves when they believe they are in love with someone who does not love them?
It is he that I eye. I did not change while I was in love with you. I only recently learned to stay quiet while we were both attending the same institution. Following your relationship with Michelle, I constructed a wall around my heart. Throughout the past few weeks, the wall has been pushed down, and as a result, I now feel vulnerable in front of you. "All I can do is wait for the pin to drop," she said.
Melvin takes my hand and drags me there to get me onto the dance floor. "It's never going to drop."
Michelle is not present, which is why he is stating that.
Melvin received one of the champagne glasses I grabbed from a waiter, which I stopped and gave him.
It is taken away from me, and we both drink.
If the waiter returns to the table, I will set the empty glasses on the tray.
When I'm on the dance floor, Melvin draws me over. His right hand is placed on my hand, while his left hand is placed on my hips.
Since we are moving across the dance floor, I let him take the lead.
After he had spun me around, he proceeded to dip me.
He can dance.
Melvin was better at it in high school.
Miguel's entrance onto the stage follows a pause in the music.
He scans the crowd with his eyes. I am grateful to all of you for attending the homecoming party I hosted. I want to make some announcements tonight and would like to do so below. Seraphina is the focus of his attention. To begin, I am currently in a committed relationship. Please come here, baby.
As Seraphina approaches the stage, he wraps his arm around her and waits for her to go.
I have a woman in my life. My ex-wife and I have concluded that we should give ourselves another opportunity.
A few individuals yell out in protest. Even though everyone else says, "Awww," I understand that the two will eventually get back together. While we were at the office, I witnessed the sparks flying around.
In second place, I decided to collaborate closely with Miller Inc. on my fashion line, and in third place, I successfully found models for my fashion line. When the billboards are erected, I look forward to seeing all of you and getting to know the people. Thank you so much for attending the homecoming celebration that I hosted.
They raise their cups and yell at one another. After saying "Homecoming," we have a drink.
Considering that I am not a big drinker, I start to feel lightheaded and to prevent myself from falling, I hold Melvin's hand.
I am the focus of Melvin's attention. "I think we should go home."
I give a head shake. "I'm fine."
He lifts me. "You are merely saying that to prevent us from leaving. A good fiancé would bring his girl back to his house, and I will do that. The next day, Mom wants us to have breakfast at her house. When I went to the restroom earlier, she surrounded me and asked me why I hadn't seen his mother.
While Melvin carries me to the door, Mrs. Williams blocks our path and looks at her son. "Why didn't you bring Katherine over to us?"
He glances at his mother. "I want my girl to myself."
And she laughs. Compared to how possessive you were of Michelle, you are even more possessive of Katherine. If I'm being sincere, you've always been happiest when you're with Katherine. I don't understand why everyone is so interested in talking about that girl when I'm around. I do not have a liking for her. Katherine has been my friend from the beginning. "All I had to do was wait for the right moment to take possession of her." My ear is near him. You must understand that I love you, regardless of what may occur in the next few months. My entire heart belongs to you. You have been the only person who has secured a position within it.
Wow! It's incredibly kind of him.
I do not intend for the celebration at the Williams's.
The fact that I am frightened to tell Melvin that his brother was the father of the child I lost makes it difficult for me to spend the rest of my life with Melvin. However, I would prefer to stay with him for the rest of my life.
My eyes are drawn to Mrs. Williams. "We'll see you for brunch in the morning, sweetheart."
"Okay,"
Melvin is the focus of her attention. "I'll have some orange juice on hand in case Katherine can't have alcohol in the morning."
"I'll be fine," I sang to myself.
And she laughs. Let's wait and see about that. I hope you both had a restful night.
Melvin delivers me to the limo that is waiting for me.
A few paparazzi take pictures of us, and I know I will be featured in the gossip column the next day.
Melvin lays me on his lap and massages my hair while we are in the car together. "Don't worry about what they will put in the gossip section."
He can say that with relative ease. He has been in the public eye for several years.
As of right now, I am still waiting for them to find out who I am.
My identity will likely be disclosed shortly, and my occupation will likely be the next thing to be disclosed.
When they learn that I work as a photographer for Miller Inc., they are likely to be completely surprised.
When those billboards with Alanie and my faces are put up, my life will transform significantly.
There will also be a poster of Melvin and me for the new magazine that will be released. This poster will announce that Miguel and Seraphina's company will work together in the fashion industry.
As soon as that information becomes widespread, many people, including Michelle, will likely be interested in working with them.
