The Couple

Chapter 27: The party



Chapter 27: The party

Christian

I was looking in her direction as she moved to Ethan and Mary and apologized to them on my behalf.

They went to have some snacks. I couldn’t bring myself to move and talk to her, explain to her. Bryan

came to me to inform me that he had to tell the truth to Tyler without giving out all the details. He

managed to convince Tyler but how will I convince my Heaven.

Ethan, Mary and Celia are standing together, eating snacks and laughing when I approached them with

a plate of snacks for myself. Seeing me coming, Mary got in front of Ethan protectively. Ethan tried

siding her but she stood her ground strong and shielded her husband when he shook his head and

sighed behind her as a response to her actions. Celia also stiffened beside me standing there. I think I

am unwelcomed here.

“I am sorry, Ethan and Mary. I shouldn’t have reacted that way. I am at fault here please forgive me.” I

apologised to them looking in the direction of my Heaven who wasn’t accepting my presence here.

Enjoying the scenario in front of him, Ethan burst out laughing and came and hugged me. One of the

reasons he is my beta.

“That’s what always happens. You both fight, I take one side and you both reconcile. I am always left

out.” Mary always complains about how we always fight and make up so quickly, how we left her out

from certain activities since childhood. We extended our hands to her to join us when Celia was

enjoying the moment of friendship and was beaming with happiness. Mary brought her along and we all

hugged together while Celia was a bit restrained towards me.

We all were hugging when we felt a force and a person joining us in the hug without our calling. We all

looked up to the person and he was smiling like a maniac. We all sighed and ignored his presence

while Celia was looking in confusion towards us.

“We don’t know. Just ignore this psych man.” I tried explaining Celia without telling everything.

“Okay, so you guys forget who I am, fine, I will just introduce myself to this new missy.” He looked

towards Celia and smirked. “Hey, may I know the beautiful’s name?”

“She is not interested in you, Ross. None of us is not interested in who stood us up for dinner and left

without informing.”

“Look, I am sorry. I know I should have informed you guys but Dad needed me urgently.”

“Like you are much help to him or anyone.”

“Ouch.”

“Do not be dramatic, Ross. This time you do need to get a good excuse.” It was Mary this time scolding

Ross. Ross left us for New York last time without informing us and ditched us our plan.

“I am sorry, Mary. Darling, let me make up to you.” Before anyone can say anything, Celia broke out.

“Will anyone tell me what is going on here?”

“Come I will explain things to you, I don’t want to witness this guy’s shit face anymore.” Mary took Celia

away as she knows what might happen now between the three of us. Each time Ross makes a mistake

it ends up with the same outcome.

“Hey guys, listen to me I am sorry. Tell me, how can I make it up to you? If you want you can punch me

right now.” Here, it is what we wanted to hear. Ethan and I looked at each other smirking as we both

just waited for this moment.

“But not here, please can we move to the backyard?” We both nodded and followed him to the

backyard from where the lake is not too far. You can see the lake but most of the area around it is

hidden with bushes.

As we are out of the party and in the backyard. Ethan and I both threw punches at him which he

dodged easily. Well expected. He was grinning at our failure attempts and ready to fight with us for his

forgiveness. He was celebrating his victory internally when Ethan went behind him and brought his

knee up to meet the back of his legs which brought Ross on his knee and we both threw a punch at his

sweet face. They were light meant to be friendly but considering the hurricane of my emotions inside

me, I threw it hard which brought blood from his lower lip.

“Easy man, it was our way to truce. And if that was to call your date beautiful, then I am not sorry but

she is hot.” He said smirking and getting back on his legs as he wiped the blood with the back of his

hands. And a servant brought a towel to him to clean himself. We hugged and greeted each other.

He ordered his servant to bring us our drinks as we might catch them before we joined the party.

“So, how did you find that beauty? What is her name? Is she giving you a night or a time?” Surely he

wants to know about Celia and I know he wants to know if he can have a way with her and I will make

sure he gets in his freaking mind that no he can’t have a way with her.

“Her name is Celia, she is my girlfriend and no she is not giving me her night or time but her life. And

no, you can’t even look at her.” I think I made myself quite clear as he showed his hands in the air to

surrender and chuckled thinking of something as he sipped his drink.

“What you said is true because it doesn’t look like that, when you draped your hand around her waist

she felt quite resistant, not uncomfortable but resistant. I just hope you’re not forcing her.” It was our

rule to play with everyone but never force anyone.

“It is complicated. You won’t get it playboy.”

“Hey, its talent to play, remember, don’t say it like it is an invective word.” I rolled my eyes.

“She is upset because last week I beat the shit of that Harris guy.” I told him as I sneered.

“You practically killed him Christian, accept it.” Remember me to kill my beta later. He doesn’t need to

add up the details.

“He deserves that much Ethan, our boy is not at fault here. Why do these girls oppose the fights

although they do like it when men fight for them.”

“As if we know.” Ethan and I said in unison and we all three broke in laughter. We talked more about

the other night at the club, Mary, her pregnancy, Celia, Jeanne and other things before we made our

way back to the party and made our way to our girls.

They were seated talking about something when we joined them.

“So, you’re the infamous Ross. It is nice to meet you.”

“I didn’t know Christian was talking about me so much. Thank you, same here darling.” And he kissed

the back of her hand to show his manners when I glared at him and cleared my throat to remind him of

something, his limits.

“Do you want anything, love?” It was Ethan inquiring his wife about her well being which Heaven

admired in awe. I am sure she would love to have a family of her own. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“We were just talking about you guys. Mary told me you proposed to her to be exclusive on your

birthday.” They both were looking at each other as if a newly wedded couple. They are still so in love

that no one can tell they have been together for almost ten years and married for five years. I don’t

think so this is just their mate bond.

Mumma always said a mate bond can hold you both together and keep yourself around each other but

it can never make you happy. Only a couple in love can be happy. Mate bond gives you the right

person for your life but not love of your life. It might create a strong attraction between you both but

never love.

“Don’t you think, it should have been her birthday when you asked her out. You know you make the

other person’s birthday special not yours.”

“I didn’t realise my love for her until my birthday and by then her birthday was already gone and I didn’t

want to waste another second without her in my life.” Not completely, he didn’t realise his love for her

until she lost her phone one day in her college and he couldn’t reach her. Since they both had a fight

that morning he thought she left him after getting fed up with him.

By the time she returned after dinner with her friends from college, he was devastated and almost on

the verge of killing himself. He didn’t want to live anymore without her, he was blaming himself for all

the misery she had gone through. His eyes were red and swollen from crying all afternoon. He didn’t

take a breath until he saw her healthy and alive in front of him. After that day, he took and picked up

Mary from college back and fro.

Right now, they both are looking at each other with love and lust in their eyes. Ross cleared his throat

to bring them out of their trance and they both blushed like a new couple. I bet they still can’t keep their

hands off each other.

“Is it a thing to propose to a girl on her birthday?” I asked her wanting to know if it is a hint or if it is what

she fantasises about. She responded with a shrug and avoided me while she continued her talking with

Ross and about what he studied in college and what interests him. I want to throw Ross out of the party

even though he is the host practically.

It was when I saw Joseph and Alicia coming in our direction smiling and holding their hands. It is the

right time to get her back to my side and maybe I can pull aside to talk. I stood up to greet them and

brought everyone’s attention to them.

I hugged both of them and greeted them. I think Alicia saw the love bite of last night on my neck as she

gave me a questioning look. I pulled Celia to my side who is now standing with everyone and

introduced her to both of them as my girlfriend. They are the family friends to whom we’re grateful for

their help back 23 years ago.

During childhood, many times I, Ethan, Mary and Jeanne stayed over to play with Ross and Victor.

Victor is the younger son of Houstons and best friend of Little. They both were in love until Jeanne

turned sixteen had her first shift and realised she can’t be with Victor knowing he is a human. She

called whatever they both had off and left him without any reason as we can’t give a reason to explain

our situation.

“No doubt, you’re in love.” Alicia said, pointing out a fact. I was proud of my mate while she blushed

realising the comment on her exquisite beauty.

“You’re surely a lucky girl, he may have many women before you but never let anyone brand him.”

“Alicia, don’t embarrass the kids anymore.” Joseph told Alicia looking at Heaven who was hiding his

face in my chest. She nodded and winked at Celia.

“It would have been better if Jeanne would have been here too” Alicia always thought it would have

been better for both families if Jeanne and Victor married but unfortunately that wasn’t possible. I wish I

could explain the situation to them but I am afraid we can never. Fortunately, Little broke it earlier or it

would have been hard for her as well as both the families when she found Greg.

We informed them of Mary’s pregnancy and as both were congratulating them and sharing their

experience with them. I took the chance and whispered to my Heaven pulling her close to me.

“How will it be when you will carry our child?” I can’t explain things to her but can surely remind her of

our mutual feelings and our desires for each other and our future together.

I think it worked as she looked in my direction with her cheeks covered with blush. And immediately

moved again as she saw smirking and a serious look on my face to tell her I am quite serious regarding

this matter, about our relationship and our future.

I came out of trance as I heard that bastard’s hoarse voice ringing wanting me to beat him again. I

looked up in his direction and found him with Peter talking to Joseph who was asking him about his

injuries. I chuckled as I heard him lying about an accident he met in the forest when he saw a wolf as

he went deep inside the forest and got lost. Well, not a complete lie he is injured because of a wolf but

he doesn’t know that.

Feeling my sleeves getting pulled, I looked down to see Heaven nervous as she watched the exchange

between those two. I guess she is still nervous about our encounter from last night and afraid that I

might lose my control again. I made her look at me and excused us to get drinks for ourselves.
