What do I live for?

Chapter 13

Saturday afternoon the house was very crowded. Preparations was being made for the big celebration. Dante said she was going to greet her mother first to introduce me to her and that we're going out for a few drinks until the real party at her house starts. The house was very beautifully decorated. I've never been to a 50th birthday. By the looks of it its going to be very exciting. It was seven at night. Dante was already beautifully dressed in a nice off shoulders ice pink dress. She said her mother and her brother was 10 minutes away. Looks like I'm the only one not dressed yet. Dante let me to my room and brought a big Versace bag with her. "What are you up to again?" She just pushed me to the bathroom. When I was done and entered the room my clothes was already sprawled on the bed. A big smile formed on my face"I know you don't like wearing formal but I got you this. Your favorite is also here a hoodie of course." I dressed myself in a cream high waist flapped pocket jean, light pink turtle neck and high heel sneakers. I have to admit I do look very cute and sexy. My hair was cut around the sides. So Dante combed my hair into a messy bun to match my look. I've decided not to wear my hoodie just yet. It was actually a very nice evening. We heard commotion downstairs which means Dante's mother Evelyn has arrived. Dante went downstairs to greet her mother. Half an hour later I went downstairs and the party was already in full spring. There was a lot of people. Actually the whole house was full. A lot of elegant rich people. The security was very high rated. As I walked downstairs a few people stared at me. Goodness I don't like so many attention. Here is a lot of handsome men. I would only kiss them nothing more. I mean not them like one o them. The last time I had a decent kiss was with Dean Langley. The Dean Langley whom my heart have been longing for for 3 years now. The only thing that I wanted to do now was to find Dante. Whom was talking to an elderly lady I assume is her mother. My heart was beating up until I was standing in front of Dante and her mother. Evelyn looked at me in awe. She also looks like a nice person. Her eyes reminded me of someone I once knew. It was mesmerizing. "You must be Jace. You look more adorable than in the photos." "Hello I am indeed Jace Tanner. Nice to meet you miss Evelyn. I've heard a lot about you. I've been looking forward to our meeting. "We hugged with kisses on both cheeks. Evelyn wore a very nice pearl necklace with a silky cream brown gown/elegant dress. Her hair hung loose. She still wear her wedding ring even though her husband passed away 3 years ago. We talked for almost an hour and a half. "So mother, Jace doesn't go out a lot. Actually this is his first time. As it is Saturday today we still wanted to go out. Than we will come right back for the after party. And Greyson hasn't met Jace yet." Evelyn looked at me with a big smile. I think Dante have been talking about me to her, because the look in her eyes showed pity. "Its fine and Greyson has to meet Jace, because he has been very concerned about the famous boy you have been obsessed with and practically living with,"Evelyn laughed. Greeting Evelyn again. Dante and I took off with one of the drivers. The only time I drink is when we have red wine at home sometimes with our dinner. Tonight I can have a bit of fun because Dante's security is top as I've been hearing. Even if we are very drunk there is someone to look after us. We got to a club that was very full. And there is still a very long line outside. "Wow, we really have to stand in this long line?" Dante just looked at me with a smirk. The guards at the door just looked at Dante and let us pass. The shock was evident on my face. "Chill. Now let's get some drinks up in this place." The barman looked very handsome and very much gay, because he kept flirting with me.

Its been 3 hours. Dante and I have been getting free drinks the whole night. I don't understand what is going on and we are very much tipsy. "What? You fucking the owner or something?" I asked her. "No silly. He's my brother and will probably be nagging because there's more than enough alcohol at the party. Promise me we won't sleep early tonight, because my brother will be partying the whole night and don't mind his boyfriend. He's a bitchy one,"she blabbered. She really does talk a lot more when she's a bit drunk. Her phone started to ring repeatedly so she pulled me to one of the back doors. Answering the call Dante looked at me mischievously. "Yes Greysee we'll be back soon. I'm waiting for my bestie. He's getting laid,"she said seriously. What the hell was she talking about. Putting all the blame on me. She talked for a while longer. "We have to go my brother is getting impatient. My mother went to sleep and the after party is getting started.

"You called yet,"he asks pretty tipsy just like me. "Yeah he's at the door." We had a very long week. Most of our weeks so far was tough because our business is the top in the city. Many have tried to steal from us but failed. This week is our resting week. Finally some time for ourselves and to rest. Today is a very special day just a shame my father wasn't here to celebrate with us. I sat with my glass of tequila when Jace Tanner suddenly appeared in my mind. What a lovely sweet boy he was. my heart died with him in that fire. Authorities said no one could have survived that fire. My Jacey couldn't have been somewhere else because he was always locked up in that house. The first time I fell in love. But I just lost him just like that and there was absolutely nothing I could've done about it. I don't know why I didn't just kidnap him. My inside is aching. I feel so empty without him. "Dean! Dean!"Shayne pushed me. Trying to wake me from the daze I was in. "Jace wait!"I said. Registering the angry face in front of me I thought of what I just said. Shaw looked at me trying to keep himself from laughing. "Who the fuck is Jace?"Shayne asked angrily. "He's no one, don't worry about it." Shayne wasn't cooling off. Observing me. "It better be no one." Shaw and I literally downed a bottle of tequila. "Now I wonder what is taking my wifey so long. That fucking mysterious friend of her,"Shaw said with jealousy making me laugh. "You call my sister your wifey?" I asked with a raised brow. He just shook his head meaning yes. Shaw and I wasn't even a bit tipsy. We are very strong drinkers.

Just as Dante was about to open the door of their mansion it swung open. We went straight to the bar. "I'll just text my brother we are here. We can go see them later." This time decided to go for a beer. I mean it is lighter than all the strong shots. I'll take something strong later. After my beer we had the bartender pouring ten shots. 2 Gins, 4 Tequila and 4 Vodka. Dante really want to kill me tonight.(laugh). "Tonight is our...h..h...our night," she hiccuped. Both at our third shot a very handsome guy approached us. "Dante making her brother wait. Wow you sure do get everything right,"the person said. They must know each other well. "Your boyfriend is getting impatient. You must be Dante's friend that they are being so jealous over. Don't see why exactly," he laughed. What the heck. His words burned my soul because I haven't heard such mean words. But no reaction is the best reaction. "I'm Shayne Gluvar, her brother in law,"he said proudly. Does he have to brag about it. "Jace Brooks,"I said simply. "Do you know Greyson?" he asked with sudden anger on his face and voice. But who was she talking about. Oh yes of course. "I assume Greyson is Dante's...aah her brother which makes uhm. No I've heard about him but we never met." I looked to my side and saw that Dante's seat was empty. Did she really leave me with this arrogant guy. "Excuse me everyone.Hello,"Dante said over the speaker mic. What is she doing? She was very drunk. I stood up and got closer to the crowd of people that was now listening to her. "I also want to speak on the mic,"I told myself. I was a total slurp. "I Dante Sierre Gnome wants to intro...yes introduce my cuddle buddy oh he gives the greatest cuddles. You guys should try it sometime. And he's so handsome and my best best friend. Jace Brooks!!" "Jacey come up here!" My heart was beating but the alcohol gave me confidence. She was totally putting me in the spotlight. Before I knew it Dante grabbed my hand towards her. We were now standing in front of everyone drunk. Our attention went to the breaking bottle and two shocked faces. My mind was a total blur. "Come lets go my boyfriend is shocked because of my statement probably jealous too." We went to the couches where Shayne was sitting on probably her boyfriend's lap. He was sitting so proudly. Dante went and gave the other guy a kiss. Wait a minute Dean Langley? "Dante? This is your brother?" Dean stood up and approached me but I took a step back.
