Chapter 25 – Blood and Bloodier  

 

The function was in one simple word ‘extravagant’. Million-dollar party was the only way to explain it. Decorated with daises and orchids, and designed with the best party designer, cladded with the costliest wines and food this could be what you call party of the year.

 

But nothing could hold my attention too long, after what happened in the car, there was nothing I could do to take my mind of Hamilton. Hamilton’s arms were under mine, looked down at me after every few moments and smiled.

There was something different about today. There was something different in the way he was. But I didn’t allow myself to get too comfortable, who knew when he would change next.

The only thing I could do was enjoy right now, with him as long as it lasted.

Moving past the crowd, past the people looking at Hamilton and me I felt a sense of pride. Yes this was my Hamilton. And suddenly I took a double take on that! What the hell was I thinking, he is not my anything!

Shaking such hopeless thoughts out of my head, I looked around to find numerous females looking at me as though they would claw my eyes out. I took a moment to figure out what did I do to make them look at me that way.

Almost too courageously I looked right back into their eyes and smiled the all-knowing smile, pulling Hamilton slightly closer to me. At the tug at his arm, he looked down at me slightly confused but was quickly distracted by people congratulating him.

Today seemingly was very similar to our wedding reception, but there was nothing the same. Today I proudly clung to Hamilton as he send me those smiles that flipped my heart. Today I could feel something shift inside me and my heart.

“We are honored to have you here between us Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton” A mid-aged tall man engaged us in a conversation. He looked as though he hadn’t slept for nights together, and hence the enormous eye bags. Hamilton would looked in an incredibly happy mood smiled right back at him and said, “It is a pleasure to be here”

 I almost felt jealous that Hamilton gave away a smile to someone else. And then I laughed at my stupidity. My attention was brought back to the surrounding when Hamilton pulled out his arm from my wrap. I looked at him, wanting to ask him why would he do that, but too timid to do so. Maybe he was getting bored.

 

Of course I bored him, these were all important people with important and more interesting stuff to say. And here I stood smiling stupidly and quite with nothing even remotely interesting to say.

But as I stood there lost in my own thoughts, I realized that Hamilton took out his hands from mine only to hold my palms in his. I looked up at him surprised at this sudden sweetness, but he didn’t look at me. He just stood there talking to people with my palm in his much larger palm.
