„What? We're going crazy here! Don't torture us like this“-Marvin said.
„I just heard that 'Beat Again' is….. number one!!!!!!“-she shouted. Aston jumped and did a backflip.
„You're serious? Don't mess with us!“-Oritse threatened.
„I'm very serious. I wouldn't joke with something like this.“-Mary said.
Guys started jumping around and hugged eachother. Oritse took it very emotional. He cried, those were tears of happiness.
„When are you at home?“-Mary asked.
„About 9 pm“-Marvin replied.
„Ok, you should come to our place, I'll make a late dinner for us. Ok?“-she asked.
„Ok, see ya!“-they responded.
„See ya.“-she hung up.
------------------------------------------------
„Looks like our neighbors are having a party. There are so many cars here!“-Aston said walking out of the car.
„This one looks familiar. My parents have a similar.“-JB noticed.
„Let's go inside. I'm hungry.“-Marv said.
They came to the door and Aston opened it. The music was loud and he saw a lot of people there.
„Heeey, guys! You came early!“-Mary shouted when she saw them.
„Hi! What's going on in here?“-Marvin asked.
„I organized this party for your first number one hit. All of your friends and families are here.“-she smiled.
„Mom!“-Oritse shouted.-„What are you doing here?“
„Mary called me and drove me here. She told me about your number one single so I came here to show you my support.“-she said.
„And the rest of your families are here somewhere.“-Mary smiled and turned around. The guys walked aroung trying to find their families. Mary felt someone taking her hand.
„Hey, thank you for all this. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.“-Aston smiled and hugged her.
„It's nothing. You deserve it.“-they didn't want to let each other go. Their hearts beated faster. Aston looked down in her eyes. He kissed her on the cheek and leaned his forehead on hers.
„You should go find your family, they want to see you.“-Mary looked away. Aston took a deep breath.
„Yeah, I guess I should“-he let her go and went in living room.
„Thank you all for coming here! Your support means so much to us. We love you!“-Oritse raised his glass an hour later obviously drunk.
„We also want to thank our beautiful mentor and friend Mary. Mary, come here!“-Marvin shouted. She walked to them and they drank a little. The party lasted til late in the night. Around midnight when the parents have left, the party was going crazy. It seemed like everyone found its match. Aston was sitting aside when he heard a beuatiful balade playing.
„Would you like to dance with me?“-he whispered in Mary's ear. She turned around smiling.
„How could I say no to you?“-she got up and he pulled her close to him.
„Is this party good enough for JLS boys?“-she teased him as they were dancing.
„If I was the host, it would've been crazier, but this is also decent.“-he teased back. Mary stepped on his foot with all her strength.
„Ouch! You don't have to be violent.“-he smiled.
„Be careful with your words. Next time I might not be this gentle.“-she winked.
„You can shut me up with your lips next time, if you want to.“-he put his most adorable smile. She stared at his eyes.
„If you continue like this something else might get hurt….“-she looked down with her eyebrow lifted up.
„Hey, don't mess with that. It's not fair.“-he was scared.
„Then behave and stop talking nonsense.“-she stopped dancing as the song ended.
„Can I get another? Pretty please?“-he put his lower lip out and made a puppy face.
„You're not fair. I cannot reject you when you look at me like that.“-she smiled and took his hand again.
