Possession

The party was in full swing as they walked ahead to the main area. Immediately they found Hailey coming towards them with a happy smile on her face. Her hand was wrapped around Liam's while her six inched heels clad feet and ivory gown clad body shimmied towards them excitedly.

Her eyes met Eva's and halted for a moment before going back to Rush as she squealed, "You came exactly on the right time! Thank you!!"

Rush grinned and hugged her, wishing her a happy birthday. Once he pulled back, Eva did the same and wished her.

Eva's eyes met Liam's for a second and found him looking down at her with a small smile. As soon as her gaze met his, he cleared his throat in embarrassment and looked away.

For some reason it immediately made her laugh that she had to cover with a loud cough as well, bringing the eyes of everyone standing around to herself.

Hailey excitedly chatted with Rush and Liam before a couple of friends of hers came to come with them.

She instantly grabbed Liam's arm once again and dragged him along with her. Eva's fingers clenched tight as she watched them walk away, her eyes . Liam turned to look at her over his shoulder a couple of times before he was completely out of sight.

"There are no adults here," Rush bent down and whispered in Eva's ear, "Feels so surreal seeing so many young kids with no one to keep an eye out."

She giggled and slid her fingers in his waist, hugging him from the front halfway and trying to stand on her tiptoe to match his eyes, "oh really, grandpa?"

"You are a grandma!" Rush laughed and grabbed her head, shaking it a bit and messing her hair which made her swat his hand away in mock irritation.

"You are the one talking like we are not the young people." Eva grinned and teased, "how old are you? Five thousand years?"

"Eighty five, actually." Rush winked.

Eva's mouth dropped open in shock,

"Oh my god," she exclaimed dramatically, "I am literally marrying an oldie! My sex life is going to be disastrous. I feel like this is the time I should be crying."

Rush glared at her and pinched her hip, making a loud yelp to escape her lips and meet his eyes.

"Wanna bet otherwise?" Rush said proudly and took a threatening step inside her personal space, making her gulp down in nervousness, "I could show you right now, in any dark corner where there is no one to hear you scream."

Eva immediately looked away as a red hue covered her cheek. The thumping of the dance floor with music covered the loud banging sound that her heart made against her chest.

"Uncle Rush," Hailey's voice suddenly interrupted them, Eva took a step back and turned around as her eyes met Hailey's, and surprisingly, this time anger was clear as day on her face.

"Yeah?"

At Rush's question, Hailey's gaze immediately snapped to him and the anger that was there just a second ago disappeared like magic. Instead, a sweet smile took its place as she chirped,  

"Uncle Liam is looking for you in the main hall. He said he has someone that he wants to introduce you to."

Rush's gaze came back to me for a second, his eyes promising me the continuation of our talk later before he nodded his head and walked away towards the main hall. His head turned two times to look at me before he finally made it to the door and disappeared. His actions really made me hide my smile. He could be so childish so many times. It was cute.
