Riley
The party was going exactly how I wanted. Beautiful, graceful and elegant. Xavier, now officially my fiancé, was by my side as we celebrated our love tonight alongside our loved ones and friends.
I was enjoying a slow dance with Xavier, grinning from ear to ear.
"You're so..." I said, while admiring the man in front of me.
"Charming?" Xavier finished the sentence for me.
I let out a giggle. "Mmm, sure." I replied.
"... and you are so breathtaking." He said.
"That's it?"
"You're ridiculously adorable, too." He added.
I hid my face in his chest. He laughed.
"Is my baby shy?" He continued teasing me as we continued slow-dancing.
When the song ended, we and the other guests who were also slow-dancing moved away from the dance floor.
"Riley?"
I turned around to see Kate with a familiar face.
"Josh?" I asked, recognising the familiar face.
"Long time no see."
He side hugged me.
"I wasn't expecting to see you here." I said. Xavier cleared his throat. "Uhm, babe, this is Josh, a friend. Josh, this is Xavier, my fiancé."
"Nice to meet you." Josh said, extending his hand for a handshake. Xavier took a moment before deciding to shake Josh's hand.
"Okay... Uhm, I hope you two enjoy the party."
"We will. Congratulations on your engagement, by the way." Josh said, smiling.
"Thank you." I replied.
Xavier pulled me away from the two, with his arm securely wrapped around my waist. "A friend, huh?"
"Yes, babe. Now come on, I'm hungry."
He sighed as he led us to our designated dinner table to have some food. We were in the middle of having our snacks when a resounding slap was heard across the ballroom.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the commotion. I was confused to see Kate clutching her cheek as another lady towered over her, in rage.
"So this is where you were hiding after ruining my life?!" Chloe exclaimed. Kate just glared at the lady who slapped her. "Why don't we tell everyone how disgusting you really are, huh?! This pathetic excuse of a person leaked my n*de photos online and on my company's official website!"
Kate clenched her hand. "You and I both know that you deserved it!"
"Oh, really? Just what did I do to derseve that?"
"That's enough!" Josh made his entrance, pulling Kate from the lady who was still fuming.
"You're seriously still gonna have her back after what she did?! Josh!" Chloe felt wronged even more.
Security finally came, and they dragged the lady out of the ballroom.
This is not how I was expecting my engagement party to go, but oh well. Kate and Josh also made their exit from the party.
What a night.
