“All will be alright in time,
Oh you never really love someone
until you learn to forgive.”

Mac and I both gaze at Trent standing a meter away from us. I narrow my eyes and gulp when I look at him.

Mac is undeniably good-looking but Trent...

Trent is still Trent

Still sinfully alluring

He wear an all black tuxedo perfectly tailored for him. His messy hair for the past days are now back to it's perfectly style blond hair. He is indeed very attractive. And I can help myself to feel the very familiar feeling I have for this man.

Feelings that he only can give to me.

I pull myself away from Mac and nervously smile at Trent, who is now walking towards us.

“Trent, I-It’s nice—“

“I’m assumes Mr. Collinwood is finished now dancing with you yes? I think he's tired already considering, he likes to lean on his partner like he wants to sleep.”

Trent said I sense the hidden mockery on his voice. Mac steps towards him, grinning.

“You’re partly right Mr. Lockhart. It’s so relaxing to be with Sierrah I can’t help myself to lean closer to him.”

Trent force smile in his lips turn into a thin line.

They look at each other eyes like they will going to fight. I panic and I try to separates them.

“Hey both of you, Why would all of us grab a drink and---“

“The next time you will get too closer to Sierrah. I can’t promise to still remember the civil relationship we had for the past months Mr. Collinwood. I advise you to give Sierrah her space and everything will be fine.”

Tent said with sharp, cold, dangerous voice and gaze. I shiver while looking at him.

To my surprise I heard Mac chuckles.

Oh god! Mac likes to really annoys Trent!

“I don’t know you’re over protective Mr. Lockhart. I would never perverted Sierrah if that’s what you’re thinking. I think you’re just tense and irritated this past few days you need to loosen up.” Mac said still with mocking voice.

“Why don't we try to loosen up tonight?”

Then they move again closer to each other. Both with clenching jaw and dangerous gaze. I panic again and move quickly and try to intervene.

“Mac, Trent please! Don’t start a mess in here please!”

I plead while separating them. I unconsciously move to the side of Trent while grabbing his arm away from Mac. Mac look at me then to my hand in Trent's arm. I blush from the realization.

Mac just smiles and take a deep breath. Then like a switch bulb, the anger in his face disappear and replaces by a smile.

“Sierrah is right. This is an important event. We would not forgive ourselves if we ruin it. So let just continue of truce, yes Trent?” Mac said then offer his hand to Trent.

Trent, realized how he become also a jerk. Move towards Mac and take his hand.

“Yes, sorry I carried away.”
