Everyone drank and cheered for the two, which made Rebecca want to cringe. But she kept a smile plastered on her face as she leaned back into Colby's touch. He kept his hand at her waist, and continued listening to the crowd.Catching her at her surprise, Vanessa stepped over next to Colby and Rebecca, and motioned them to the floor. "Now, let's all join and watch these two share their first dance!"
Oh no...Colby cleared his throat and moved his hand to grip Rebecca's, leading her out to the floor. Her heart was beating out of her chest, especially when Colby pulled her to him in a quick motion, putting his other hand on her back. "I've got you..." He whispered.
Rebecca swallowed and gave him a small nod. She swayed to the music with him, and glanced around. Leaning his head down, he whispered,"Rest your head on my chest."
Rebecca obliged, and rested her head above his heart. She didn't pay attention to its beats, and scanned the room around her. All eyes were on them...and when she met the eyes of Randy, Joseph, and Jonathan, it took everything in her not to laugh. They were standing there with huge grins plastered on their faces, and beside of them stood Ashley, Pamela, Mercedes, and Liv...who were giving her a thumbs up.
She smiled to herself. "When is this wedding supposed to take place?" She whispered.
Colby tightened his grip on her. "Whenever we plan it."
Rebecca scoffed. "Great. So they force us into this and now I'm going to have to plan everything?" She rolled her eyes. "Tell me something good about all of this."
Colby smirked. "Something good? Well, I get to officially call you mine."
Rebecca raised her head and glared at him. If there wasn't eyes watching her she would have punched him in the mouth. She shook her head. "What is wrong with you? Why are you so obsessed with me?" She gritted out.
Colby took a deep breath. "Because I can be. You have a problem with it?"
Rebecca just swallowed. "You are a prick." She whispered.
Surprise hit Colby's eyes. "You say the kindest things."
Rebecca rolled her eyes, and pressed her head back down on his chest. She couldn't wait for this stupid dance to be over. Just another minute.
Some woman came up a few feet away with a big camera, and started taking pictures of them. Rebecca tensed, and tried her hardest to look like she was actually interested in the dance. Thankfully, she didn't have to try too hard, because the music stopped shortly after.
Everyone clapped and cheered as they went back to their normal spots, and then it was time for food. When the rest of Colby's family came over, Rebecca politely excused herself, and gracefully walked over to the food table, where Cody and Drew stood talking. "Hey Mate." Drew greeted with a smile. "What's up?"
Rebecca took a deep breath. "I just needed a minute..."
Cody ate a bite of a sandwich he had picked up. "This whole thing is stupid in my opinion. Why do the Lopez's take these things so seriously?"
Drew sighed. "It's for publicity, man. Anything for a penny."
Rebecca crossed her arms and leaned back against the table. "If this is just the engagement party, can you imagine the wedding?"
Cody shook his head. "Im sorry, Becks. I know you never wanted this."
Rebecca sighed. "It's not your fault, Rhodes." She then glanced over at Mercedes, Ashley, and Pamela talking to one another. "How are you guys doing? Is everyone getting along?"
Cody looked towards Drew for a second, then shrugged. "It's going, I guess. A lot to get used to."
"It wouldn't be so bad if those two pricks didn't act like they were the best in the world." Drew said glancing over at Joseph and Jonathan. "They think they're better than the whole team."
Rebecca followed his eyes. And im sure Colby's told them that a million times. "Don't worry. Im Co-Ceo remember? I'll make sure everyone gets a chance to prove their worth."
Cody gave her a smile, and patted her on the shoulder. "You're the best."
Rebecca smiled up at him. "I know."
The party didn't last but for another hour or so. Most people left after the food, but of course, Colby's family were all about meeting his new girl. When Colby lead Rebecca back out to their ride, she had never been so happy to be alone with him again.
She didn't say a word as she leaned her head against the window. Colby didn't either as he stared out of his. The drive back felt longer than usual, probably because of the tension. But when the car pulled up to the house, Rebecca sighed in relief. Colby got our first and extended his hand towards Rebecca. "Thanks." She muttered.
Colby gave her a small nod as they walked back into his home. "I know tonight probably stressed you out, but i promise, this won't be what you think."
Rebecca yawned when they finally walked into the foyer. "I hope not..."
He gave her a small smile, and moved his hand up to her face slowly. Rebecca so badly wanted to punch him, especially after tonight, but the way his eyes had darkened...
Colby lightly touched her cheek with his thumb. He sighed and removed his hand, stuffing it down in his pockets. "You should get some rest. We're meeting tomorrow morning."
Rebecca furrowed her eyebrows. "For what, exactly?"
Colby looked her in the eyes, and she saw the corner of his lip curl up slightly. "We're going on our first mission."
