Riley
The party's going exactly how I wanted. Xavier, now officially my fiancé, is by my side as we celebrate our love tonight, with our loved ones and friends.
I'm having a slow dance with Xavi, grinning from ear to ear.
"You're so..." I say, while admiring the man in front of me.
"Charming?" I let out a giggle.
"Mmm, sure." I reply.
"... and you're so breathtaking." He says.
"That's it?"
"You're ridiculously adorable, too." I hide my face in his chest. He laughs.
"Is my baby shy?" He continues teasing me as we go on slow-dancing.
When the song ends, we and the other guests who were also slow-dancing move away from the dance floor.
"Riley?" I turn around to see Kate with a familiar face.
"Josh?"
"Long time no see." He side hugs me.
"I wasn't expecting to see you here." I say. Xavi clears his throat. "Uhm, Xavi, this is Josh, a friend."
"Nice to meet you." Josh says and extends his hand for a handshake. Xavier takes a moment before shaking Josh's hand.
"Okay... Uhm, I hope you two enjoy the party." I stifle my laugh.
"We will. Congratulations on your engagement, by the way." Josh says, smiling.
"Thank you." I reply.
Xavier pulls me away from the two, with his arm wrapped around my waist. "A friend, huh?"
"Yes, Xavi. Now come on, I'm hungry."
He sighs as he leads us to our designated table to have some food. We're in the middle of having our snacks when a resounding slap is heard across the ballroom.
Everyone turns to look at the source of the commotion, and I'm confused to see Kate clutching her cheek as another lady towers over her, in rage.
Like the others, I wanna know what's going on. "So this is where you were hiding after ruining my life?!" Chloe exclaims.
Kate just glares at the lady who slapped her.
"Why don't we tell everyone how disgusting you really are, huh?! This pathetic excuse of a person leaked my n*de photos online and on my company's official website!"
Kate clenches her hand. "You and I both know that you deserved it!"
"Oh, really? Just what did I do to derseve that?"
"That's enough!" Josh makes his entrance, pulling Kate from the lady who's still fuming.
"You're seriously still gonna have her back after what she did?! Josh!"
Security finally came, and they dragged the lady out of the ballroom. This is not how I was expecting my engagement party to go, but oh well.
Kate and Josh also make their exit from the party. What a night.
