A toast

Her blonde hair sways along her back with each stride she takes. Her dress is a Burgundy Velvet mid-thigh dress with a low v-cut showing too much cleavage with a lot of make-up caking her face.

I clear my throat to stifle my laugh.  I personally think that you don't need to make up to feel beautiful.  It all comes naturally and there is no reason to hide all that beauty.  No hard feelings to those that feel comfortable doing so.

Her emerald green eyes search the room full of people before they land on the person next to me. She smirks and makes her way to the empty chair on his side.

"Hey Xavier, you miss me?" She purrs in his ear.

Without looking her way he mutters a "Hi" before pulling out his phone.  She attempts to gain his attention, which is futile making her huff every time in annoyance.

I return my attention to Samuel and we continue our conversation from where we left off. A few minutes later I'm covering my mouth to hold in my laugh, but he just laughs with no care in the world, turning heads our way.

**********

After some time a few people dressed in waiter uniforms begin to bring the food and place them in front of us. I inhale the delicious scent, looking down at the food.  A various portion size of food is placed before me and I discreetly bring my hand up to check that I wasn't drooling.

All clear.

Tortellini Pasta along with some veggies, soup, pane and other kinds of foods that I haven't heard of cover the plate.

I am hands down the laziest person alive, all I do is eat but never gain much weight.  Instead, it goes down to my hips and breast, which makes it the only thing I love about my body and I thank whoever invented fast metabolism for that.

I look over to my mum and mouth the words, 'Are you okay?'

She has a hint of worry and sadness on her face as she stares at me but it is gone as soon as it came.  Instead, a reassuring smile overtakes her features. 'You will find out, my darling.'  I hesitantly nod.

Samuel places a hand on my thigh and I snap out of my thoughts, arching a brow at him.  "Look at Mr Stubborn-ass." He whispers in my ear.

Giggling I look to where he is gesturing and see Xavier, gripping his phone in one hand and a knife in the other as if he's controlling himself.

"What." Xavier snaps his head, feeling our eyes on him but his focus and word are directed to Samuel.

Shaking my head, I shoo Samuel's hand and he gives me a wink. Weird.

Just then do we hear the clink of a glass and we turn our heads toward Mr Valentino. He rises from his seat and waits till' all eyes are on him.

"Welcome everyone to my home. I hope you have all had plenty to eat and to drink. I apologise for calling you all on such short notice but this has been planned for quite some time and there is not another minute to wait-" His eyes scan the table before they stop, landing on mine and a satisfied smirk is placed on his lips as he looks between me and the person next to me.  Not Samuel.

"-Now, I would like you all to raise a glass, "

"What is going on?" I whisper to Samuel as we all raise our glasses.

"- in celebration of the engagement of my son, Xavier Valentino and my dear' Angelina Diaz."

Sheesh, definitely the raspberry fizzy was my last thought before darkness consumes me.
