Fascination

Part 31

- So besides being beautiful, do you have a mermaid voice? - Jake told Céline when she got to where he and René were.

Celine smiled broadly.

- You're very kind, Jake ... But I'm not a professional. - She looked at René who walked toward her and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

- You're perfect. - He said making her melt.

Jake looked at René and his jaw dropped.

- But what is going on here?" - He said fun and amazed at the same time.

- Ah René! Son of a bitch! - said making them laugh.

- What can I do Jake ... You were right ... She's awesome. - He kissed her cheek and hugged her around the waist.

At that time Elena was back at the table.

- So this pathetic is official? - She said staring at René who ignored her.

Céline glanced at René who gave her an "ignore her, please". But it wasn't her type to ignore things like that...

- Oh no Elena, honey ... It's not official at all ... I'm just using him for sex. - She was winking at René.

Elena stared at them with obvious hatred.

- Ah! Sorry ... Céline continued - You know what this is, right?

Jake gave a wide laugh. René gaped at Céline, but wanted to laugh too. And the they were still staring at each other. Céline with a sarcastic chuckle. Elena fulminating her.

- You are pathetic. And you sweet ...

- Elena - René stared at her seriously. - You're only here because everyone in the forum is. Honestly I have no interest in having you here. I don't know why you not gone yet. If you are uncomfortable with what you see, then leave. I will not allow you, in my house, distract my future wife. Because that's what Céline is. Therefore, I demand respect. And I know everything you did to Celine years ago.

Céline stared at him with wide eyes. Wife? It was new to her. But she couldn't disguise her contentment. She looked at her rival and grinned. Elena looked at him in horror. She could not believe my ears. So would they get married?

- Did you go crazy ?! René, you ... I do not believe you are so stupid!

 - Shut up Elena! Who do you think you are? It's in my house! If we weren't at my daughter's wedding I would take your arm myself and walk you to the street!
 
Elena was mortified. - You'll regret treating me like that René!

 - Go away. It's a favor you do for yourself and everyone.

Céline and Jake looked at each other apprehensively.

- So be it then. - Elena said taking the bag and stalking out.

 Céline looked at Jake and they both burst out laughing. Just then a waiter passed them with a tray full of champagne glasses. Jake handed one to each of them.

- Cheers! - Jake said raising his glass.

- Ah ... I can't ... I mean ... I'm not in the mood. - Céline said.

- My love ... Are you okay? - René asked seeing her strange expression.

- Yeah. I just don't want to drink today. - She said smiling.

- But just a little! To celebrate the happiness of the lovebirds.

- Jake insisted.

- Hum ... Well, a sip won't hurt me ...

René looked at her questioningly. As she prepared to drink, Anne appeared and pulled the glass from her hand on impulse.
