Hearts and Guns (Guillaume Organization Series #1)

Chapter 35

I peaked through our car's window and looked around. We're invited to a family friend's party. We got out of the car and entered the house. A couple welcomed us the moment we got inside.

"Hi, glad you came" a woman hugged my mom and a man nodded at my dad, I think he's the husband of the woman who hugged my mom.

"Oh, is this Zeline?" the man squated to level my height.

"She's so cute" the woman held my hand and shaked it a bit.

I smiled.

The party started but the celebrant is still not in sight.

"Zeline take a seat here" Mrs. Beaufort guide me on a seat, I said thank you after that.

Later on I heard the crowd cheering and that means the celebrant is now here.

I still don't know who's the celebrant.

"There he is" she caressed my hair and my eyes focused on the boy she's referring to.

He looks...snob?

He has this cold intimidating expression even if he's still around my age.

As I turned ny gaze I saw the people putting their gifts on a table so I decided to put mine there.

"Reille where are you going?" My mom called me and I pointed the table where the gifts are located.

"Why don't you give you gift to him personally hmm?" Mrs. Beaufort said and smiled.

I nodded and looked at the celebrant again.

I looked back at my parents and his parents and I saw them nodded before smiling. I took that as a cue to walked towards the celebrant.

I saw him talking to someone that looked exactly like him.

I tapped my foot a little on the ground and waited for them to finish talking.

When I realized that they're done, I fixed my posture and composed myself.

They both turned to me at the same time, I smiled to avoid the awkwardness.

I saw how the celebrant simply hit the person that looked like him lightly and that person looked at me again before leaving.

I faked a cough before speaking.

I looked around and saw a name on the gifts.

Alexander Schuyler.

"Happy Birthday Schuyler" I said and give him my gift.

I saw how his hazel brown eyes got filled with amusement.

"Thank you" he accepted it and lend his hand.

I raised a brow and he chuckled.

"Schuyler"

I looked at his hand before lifting my eyes on his face again.

"Zeline" I said and accepted his hand.

"Zeline?" he asked, still not letting my hand go.

"Mireille"

I saw how he nodded.

"Zeline Mireille" he uttered and stiffled a smile.

The party goes well and it's time for us to go home.

My parents and his parents bid their goodbyes to each other and I felt a presence behind me.

"You're now going home? he asked and I nodded

"Well then bye Reille" he smiled and put a piece of folder paper in my hand and it says 'open it later'.

I smiled and looked back at him.

"Bye Kyle" I waved my hand and started to walk towards my parents.

We got into our car and started driving.

While waiting to return hom I opened the paper.

Thanks for the gift, I'll surely keep it.
See you soon, Reille :)

I smiled and kept the paper in my pocket.

"Did you enjoy the party Reille?" my mom turned to me from the shotgun seat, I nodded.

See you soon, Kyle.
