Mariana's best friend | Jesus foster

Thirty-Two

Q: Have you guys seen the new Netflix original movie "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" yet? If not, please go watch it. It's an AMAZING movie. I first watched it when it came out, right away. Peter Kavinsky (who is played by Noah Centineo) stole my heart, honestly. Peter Kavinsky and Jesus Foster had made expectations for boyfriends go 80000% up. :)

Stef tapped the side of her wine glass with a silverware to get everyone's attention from the table that was placed outside in the backyard.

"Everyone, everyone, just— thank you." She held up her wine glass. "Lena and I would like to thank all of you for coming tonight to help us celebrate our recent college grads, Brandon and Mariana, Callie."

I placed my plate down on the table and sat down next to Jesus, who has a beard now, while clapping along with everyone else.

"And also to congratulate Jude on finishing up his first year at UCLA. Way to go, bud." We all applaud once again.

"Ah, which reminds me, we still haven't seen your final grades yet," Lena added and Jude chuckled. "Um, neither have I."

"The moment you get them..."

"You will be the first to know."

"We would also like to congratulate Jesus for getting his contractor license." I smile and clap loudly.

"He and his friend Wyatt have started a custom tree house building business. So if any of you are in the market..."

"Proud of you babe," I say and intertwined our hands. He smiled at me.

"We just got business cards actually." Jesus took out a card from his pocket with his free hand and showed it to the table. "And it's called 'Out on a Limb'."

We all laugh.

"And last but certainly not least, we are celebrating Eliza and Brandon tonight... who less then a week are getting married."

Everyone around the table cheer and applause. When Jesus does a standing ovation by himself, I see Corey, Lena's and Stefs Foster child, puts a lot of salt on Jesus plate.

I smirk at him and he signals for me to stay quiet, which I do so.

"Um, we are also all very excited about the destination wedding at Beaches Resort in Turks and Caicos, courtesy of Jim and Diane." Stef motions over to Eliza's parents.

"Our pleasure."

"We want to welcome Eliza's brothers, Carter and Jamie." We applaud again, for the many times.

"And I don't think that everyone knows our foster son, Corey." We applaud again and Jesus does this weird hand thing.

"And our grandson, Jesus's and Evelyn lovely child, Noah." Noah lifts up his little arms and cheers. I can't believe my son is already four years old.

"So we also thought this would be a great chance for all of our friends and families to get to know each other better. It's kinda crazy that our kids have been dating for two years and we barely know each other. Not from the lack of trying." Stef explains.

"Oh, that's on us." Diane says and looks over to her husband. "We've... we've been so busy traveling, with Jim's projects all over the world. We barely even been on this continent." They both nervously chuckle.

"Well, we, Uh, we will have lots of time to bond at the wedding."

Jesus takes a huge scoop of his food into his mouth and immediately spits it out onto his plate making Corey burst out laughing.
