Perhaps Love

Chapter 8

Living Room

After the dinner everyone gathered in Living room. Still talking to each other. Mr. and Mrs. Somer were in the center of the room dancing.

"Please guys, can you please join us to dance too?" Mrs. Somer said and sip her wine.

"Happy Birthday to my youngest son Benedict. Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Everyone sip their own. And I just sip little as I know myself. I can't drink that much.

"Please guys join us." Mr. Somer said.

Then I saw Benedict ask Hestia.

Carl asked one of the maid who's in shock for the offer and she look at Manang then Manang said "please Kaye, its fine."

And she accepted Carl's offer.

Someone tap my shoulder. And I look at that person. And Steven's smiling at me. He lend his hand and said,

"May I have this dance?" I smiled and nodded. "Of course." He led me to the center. And we dance.

"You look so gorgeous Fran."

"Thank you Steven."

"You know what, I'm sorry if you think we're playing or teasing you."

"Oh come on, I never think like that. Even when you're always in the pub. You guys are the best customer we have. That's why we're always respecting you and your friends. And we gave our best to serve all of you."

"That's nice to hear. Thank you for that." He chuckled.

"Just so you know, I'm just teasing you okay? For me you're my little sister even Hestia. I mean no harm to you."

"Crazy, of course I know and I felt that. If I know you and your friend are like the other guys who don't respect us or me. Boy, I will immediately ignore and be aloof to all of you."

"Glad to know that." He smiled. "You know what, I do have one favour to ask from you."

I look at him. He's taller than me. So I have to lift my head high so I can see him.

I frowned. "What is it?"

He smiled and he put his lips near to my ear and whispered, "Let's have a little fun tonight." And I was shocked when he hold my waist tight and near to his body.

"Just go with the flow." And he look at me. "My friend here is kind of lonely and I want him to be happy tonight" he chuckled.

"Who's friend?" And before he could answer my question someone hold his arm. And I look at that guy and it was Sven.

"I'm bored. Can I with dance her?" He look at Steven and the look at me, "May I have this dance if you don't mind?"

Steven chuckled. "Oh Bro! Of course. You can dance with her." He gave my hand to Sven. "Enjoy" He smiled.

"Told you we will have fun." He winked and left the dance floor.

Before we started to dance I saw the butler and get one glass of wine and drink it all.

When the music change he wrap his other arm to my waist and push myself near to him. And I was like ohhhh. What's this feeling I have?

"Easy there Fran," he's referring to the way I drink the wine.

"You don't want to get drunk easily, right?" and he look at me.

But I can't look at him. I feel so nervous with him. Especially now that we're so close with each other that our body are almost touching.

"Why can't you look at me?" His face is so near to my face. He's taller than me but not taller than Steven. So I was able to smell the whisky on his mouth.

I distance my face to him and did what he asked me I look at him.

"Are drunk already?" And he just push me again to him.

"Nope." And he just smiled at me.

For a moment that was the first time he smiled at me that way. I guessed he's really drunk. I stared at him intently.

He frowned. "Why you're staring at me like that?"

"Nothing, it's just that. I'm sorry to say this but I think something's isn't right with you right now. Is something's bothering?"

He was silent for a moment. "Nothing that concerns you dear." And he stared at me that I can't explain what kind of feelings I'm in right now.

"Let's just enjoy dancing, some people are making fun of me right now." I was about to look around when he just hold my waist tightly and push again to himself.

"Ignore don't look and just look at me only." And I was in shocked.

"By the way you really look wonderful tonight." He whispered near to my ear that his lips almost kissed my ear.

"It's time to go home now.
And I've got an aching head.
So I give her the car keys.
And she helps me to bed

And then I tell her.
As I turn out the light.
I say, "My darling you were wonderful tonight"
"Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight"

I can't explain what's happening to me as of this moment but It felt so right and overwhelming. That I wish it won't end.
