Revisiting My Past

Chapter 8 - Tricks and Teases

Sapphira POV

"I'm so sorry, Adria. It was needed. You needed to talk to each other."

"Let me leave you girls to talk." Vermont said as he kissed my cheeks and whispered, "See you later, my love."

When Vermont left, Adria spoke up.

"Why the hell did you do that?" Adria asked me.

"Well, as I've said, it was needed. So, how was it."

"How come you never told me you didn't speak to him for 2 years?"

"I didn't think it was relevant. He hurt you. You didn't deserve that."

"No one deserves to get hurt, you know?"

"I know. But you're one of my best friend. You trump every other person in this room."

"Even Vermont?"

"Even boyfriend Vermont. But husband Vermont. Hmm..." I said raising both eyebrows.

"You la pute!"

"Haha. So, tell me everything."

"Well, he told me everything. Of course, I wouldn't be forgiving him that easily. Misunderstanding or not, I guess we just weren't meant for each other."

"Oh come on. Why can't you forgive him? He didn't do anything wrong."

"And I thought you were, and I quote 'team Adria'."

"Of course I am. But I liked how you were with Felix. So carefree, so light-hearted, so happy. You know I only want the best for you."

"And me the same to you. I guess we can start over."

I smirked at her statement.

"As friends and only friends. Never again." She continued, apparently noticing how her previous statement sounded.

"Never say never! Speaking of the devil."

We saw Kira and Felix heading our way. I grabbed Adria's hand to not let her escape this situation. When he got there, me and Kira high-fived and laughed.

"May I have this dance?" Felix asked me.

"Sure. Be right back, girls." I hollered to Adria and Kira.

Felix led me to the dance floor and we started to dance.

"That was a risky move, you know?" He said while we are dancing.

"But it worked, didn't it?" I replied smugly.

"Yeah, it did." he replied with a bright smile plastered on his face.

"You're going to try again with her?"

"Of course. This time though, I won't let her go."

The music stopped and he kissed my cheeks and whispered a small thank you in my ear.

"May I steal her from you?" Vermont said.

"She's all yours. Remember, if you hurt her, I will kill you." Felix threatened Vermont who had a confused look on his face.

Vermont grabbed my hand and twirled me around. He then placed his arms on my waist.

"You are clingy today." I whispered to him.

"Is it my fault that I have the most gorgeous girl as my date?" He smiled

"What do you need from me?" I asked as he started to hum the music that was playing.

"Just you, with me. Forever and always."

"God, why are you so perfect?" I asked him.

"Only to you, my love." I blushed at his statement.

"Oh, did you know, Felix and Adria finally got to talking."

"Did they, now? I wonder how you trapped them inside the supply closet."

"What? How are you even sure I was the one who trapped them? How did you know they were in the supply closet?

"Besides the security camera? I heard Adria screaming Help."

"She thought it was soundproof."

"I noticed. I guess Felix tricked her, huh?"

"To talk to her? He'd do anything." I told Vermont.

"You know, I would've opened the door but I saw their position in there. Felix was almost leaning towards Adria."

"What? Did anything happen?" I asked curiously.

"Depends. Will I get a reward if I tell you?" He replied with a smirk forming on his face.

I grabbed his face and kissed him passionately.

"So, that enough?" I said after pulling away from him.

"What?" He said, recovering from the kiss. "Oh yes. But I want more."

He was about to step closer but I stopped him.

"Tell me what happened?"

"Nothing." He said proudly.

"So, you tricked me?"

I started leaning towards him and when he thought I was about to kiss him, I swerved and whispered.

"Bye."

"Tease!" He yelled laughing while I was walking away, shrugging my head.

Adria POV

"God, those two don't have any boundaries." I told Louis and Kira, pointing to the couple making out in the middle of the dancefloor.

"Bitter!" Kira said while laughing.

"What? I mean Sapphira and Mont can surely do that in their privacy." I said laughing.

"Look who's headed this way." Louis motioned to Felix and Beau coming their way.

"Hi, it's the last dance of the night and I would love it if you could dance with me." Beau asked Kira, holding out his hand.

"Sorry? Are you asking me?" She replied.

I sometimes want to kick her for how slow her senses are. I nudged her using my elbow.

"If you don't want to, I will." I said, clearly trying to force her to dance with him.

"No, I'll do it." Kira said receiving Beau's hand. "Will you be okay here?" She followed, clearly about Felix's presence.

I nodded my head yes and grabbed my drink.

"Excuse me but I need to make a call." said Louis, clearly trying to exit.

"Yeah, right. Go." I replied sarcastically.

People were now vacating their seats and moving towards the dance floor.

"Dance with me?" I heard Felix ask me.

"What?"

"It's a shame to have the best man and maid of honor not dance. A beautiful girl like you can't be left alone to pity themselves."

"Why do you think I pity myself?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I still know you like the back of my hands, Adria." He stopped and then look at me genuinely. "Besides, this will get Kira and Sapphira off our backs for a while."

"Okay, fine."

I stood up and went to the dance floor with him following me. He grabbed my waist and we started to dance. Suddenly, Kira bumped into my back, causing me to lose my balance and almost fall face-first but Felix caught me and for the first time since I've been here, I felt the tension we used to have.

"Sorry." Kira said with a smile on her face.

She planned this. I also notice Sapphira's eyes on us which now made me believe that this was all a setup. Still, Felix pulled me back up.

"Careful. We wouldn't want you to fall, would we?" He said in a charming yet teasing tone.

"Shut up and dance." I said with a little smile on my face.

The night ended with that dance and everyone bid their goodbyes. Us though, we went straight to the airport and traveled to The Island of Aloha, Hawaii.
