We walk back to the rest of the party, and Tony is immediately pulled into a conversation with some other guests, and i'm more than eager to leave his side, at some point i even join my parents for a few minutes, before blending into the crowd again.This time around, i realise that the music is on a little louder than it was before, the small talk and chatter among guests is a little bit louder, food is being served, and the general atmosphere had literally changed, and it makes me wonder just how long Raquel and i had been gone, because It's almost like i'm at a different party altogether.
I grab another drink from a passing waiter and drink it all in one go, as i try to make sense of what i just discovered.
What are the odds, that Raquel had to me related to this particular family?
Another server passes by, and i put my empty glass on the tray and pick up another one.
I turn around and start looking for familiar faces.
I deliberately avoid talking to anyone from the St Patrick's family, but keep my eyes on a look out for when Raquel comes back.
"Hey, ready to go?" Chase Murmurs, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Five minutes." I reply, turning to face the other way and what i assume should be the entrance to the restricted area of the house.
"Seriously, you said that twenty minutes ago?" he grumbles.
He was ready to leave after Tony Introduced us to his daughter, but i wanted to see Raquel again privately, so i told him for five minutes then and walked off in search of her, before he could even respond....i guess it has been that long
"Just five more minutes." i say again.
"Why? i thought you wanted to leave early?" he says, but i hold off telling him why.
That night in Porto when i met Raquel, he had left the table earlier so he got to see her, but he heard from the guys what happened ....i will tell him later, that Raquel is that woman.
"I do...just....wait a second" i mutter absentmindedly and he scoffs.
"Fine...call me when you are ready." He utters and walks away.
I watch him leave and make his way through some people and see Eva on the other side of the room and wave at her, raising my glass up in the air in salute.
Raquel finally comes into my view, Angela besides her.
She is now wearing a different dress than the one she had on earlier, her hair now that it's wet, looks darker and more like her sisters, and it has been pulled up in a tight bun on top of her head, the loose lighter curls that were previously gracing the sides of her face, now done away with...but some looks beautiful all the same, the new style making her eyes pop out more.
