≈ EVENING ★ THE PARTY ≈
Loud music filled the hall, couples kept trooping into the hall, hand in hand. The whole place full of live.
Miguel and Yolanda suddenly appeared, they were walking in, in interlocked hands, looking elegant and outstanding.
Miguel was wearing a smart blue suit and a shiny pair of black polished shoes. He was smiling as he walked in.
Yolanda was wearing a black armless gown which had a shiny black stones on it. It hug perfectly on her body and her curvy shape was glaring hard. She wore a silver heels on it and she was holding tightly to a silver purse.
Her make up was moderate as always but outstanding, she looked really beautiful today. Her hair curled up, making it short.
They became the eyes of everyone as they stole the show with unavoidable beauty.
They walked to the seat close to the bartender and they sat on it, while waiting for the the drinks which they asked for.
“I don’t see Bella around.” Yolanda said.
“Mee too, she said she was gonna come.” The bartender brought the wine for them.
“Thank you.” Miguel said, waving him off.
He opened the wine and poured in his glass as well as Yolanda’s.
“You sure you can handle alcohol??” He asked her and she nodded with a smile.
“More than you think.” She smirked.
“Okay, so, cheers…” They clinked glasses before taking a sip from the wine.
Just then Bella arrived with Mr Leonard, he was obviously her date.
“Baby!” Bella screamed before hugging Yolanda.
“Bella.” Yolanda called hugging her back.
“Hi Miguel.” Mr Leonard called.
“Hey Leonard.” They shook hands.
“You two finally showed up.” Bella said with an eye roll.
“Have you guys been here??” Yolanda asked.
“Yess, we’ve been waiting… Stop holding me already, you’re a married man for Pete’s sake.” Bella yelled at Mr Leonard who held her hand.
“It’s a couples party remember?”
“Mtcheeew, my fault I don’t have a boyfriend yet, tsk!” She frowned.
The two chuckled.
“See you guys in the party. Bye SpongeBob.” Bella smiled before walking away with Mr Leonard.
Fernando and Romina suddenly walked in, hand in hand.
“Hi Miguel… Hey Yolanda.” Romina greeted with a smile, a deceptive one.
“Hey.” Yolanda replied, simply.
All through, Fernando’s eyes were on Yolanda, he couldn’t take his eyes off her… She was, beautiful is understatement.
Perceiving his intent stare, Miguel wrapped his hand around Yolanda’s waist, holding her possessively.
“She’s mine as you can see.” He said and kisses her forehead.
Fernando chuckled.
“Hey jerk.” He greeted with a smirk, Miguel stared skeptically at him… There was something off about the smirk.
It was more than mischievous.
“Hi bastard.” He called and Fernando chuckled.
“I can see you guys are enjoying the party, why don’t you guys dance??” He suggested.
“Yesss.” Romina quickly affirmed.
“Go, go.” She pushed them forward.
“Shall I?” Miguel asked, stretching out his hand and she smiled before taking it.
She placed her hands on his shoulder and interlocked it behind his neck. He wrapped his hand around her waist and they began dancing.
Romina kept smiling deceptively as she watched them, she then signalled the bartender and he nodded. He took a glass of juice, which he placed on a tray, he began walking towards Miguel and Yolanda.
He pretended to be unconsciously walking and spilled the drink on Yolanda.
“Oh my! I’m so sorry ma’am. I’m so sorry.” He quickly apologized.
“Tsk!!… It’s alright, I’ll go wash this off.” She said.
“I’ll come with you.” Miguel said.
“Give her a time alone Mr lover boy, she can go on her own… Okay I’ll go with her.” Romina volunteered walking to her.
Miguel looked at Yolanda.
“I can take care of myself, okay.” She said and began walking away with Romina.
“He cares about you so much.” Romina said as they walked out but Yolanda only smiled.
Romina scoffed inwardly, she felt like slapping her hard on the face but she withheld the urge.
“Oh my! I completely forgot!” She suddenly exclaimed and Yolanda looked at her.
“What is it?” Yolanda asked as they stopped walking.
“I remember I have to call someone, it’s very important, I’ll have to go now.” She said and Yolanda nodded.
“It’s okay.” She told her and Romina left hastily while she walked into the restroom to clean off the juice from her dress.
Romina came back to the hall, she looked at Fernando and they made some eye gestures.
She smiled before walking to Miguel.
“Hey Miguel.” She called and he looked at her.
“Where’s Landa??” He asked and she feigned a smile.
“She said she could go alone, so I had to come back.” She said and Miguel nodded before facing his front.
The MC appeared on stage then.
“Good evening couples, welcome to the party… I hope you all will have lots of fun… I’m sure of that coz we have so many fun activities lined up in our list for you and…” He continued talking with the audience listening attentively.
Romina looked around before looking at Miguel. “Miguel…”
“What’s it Romina??”
“Nothing, I just wanted to say that you look good in this suit.” She said and Miguel gave her a skeptical look.
“Thanks.” He said anyway.
“You don’t need to thank me.” She said, he noticed that she was trying to start a conversation with her so he ignored her.
“C’mon Miguel, say something.” She pressed but he didn’t reply her, he faced the MC on stage trying to listen to him.
Romina suddenly came to stand at his front. “Mina…” Before he could say another word, she stood on her toes and pressed her lips on his…
His eyes widened.
Just then Yolanda arrived, her eyes widened at what she saw. Tears began building up in her eyes, she began feeling some stinging pain in her heart.
She didn’t wait for a second before turning around and running out of the hall. Fernando smiled and followed her.
“What the heck!!” Miguel yelled, pushing her roughly, wiping his lips with the back of his palm.
Romina smirked.
“Didn’t you like it?” She asked.
“Like what? Yuck!! What the heck did you think you were doing?? I’m married for Pete’s sake!!” He yelled at her.
“And so? I loved you before she came into the picture.” She said and Miguel stared at her angrily.
If not that, he doesn’t slap women, he would have sent her a deafening slap.
He scoffed before walking away, going to meet Yolanda.
***
Yolanda ran out of the hall in tears. Is it that her life is such a misfortune?? Why is it always from one pain to another??
From one heartbreak to another! Who did she wrong in her past life that doesn’t want to give her peace in her present life??
Just when she thought it was time to leave the past behind and start up afresh with him… This??
She stopped running and broke down in tears. She fell to the ground crying.
Fernando came and sat beside her. “You finally saw things for yourself… I know Miguel more than you, he’s a playboy… What do you expect?? He still haven’t left his playboy habit.” He said to her and she turned to look at him.
She sniffed in. “Stop crying, he doesn’t worth your tears, he’s probably having fun right now.” He said and it only increased her tears.
He smiled… Just what he wanted.
“Don’t worry I’m hear for you.” He said and she looked at him.
“Yes Landa, I know you’re married but still, I love you… Forget that bastard of a husband, divorce him and come for me.” He said and she creased her brows.
Staring at him like he just spoke rubbish, could he be drunk??
“I love you.” He said and crashed his lips on hers, her eyes widened.
A picture was clicked from a hidden spot. The person smiled looking at the picture before walking away.
Yolanda pushed him off immediately and a hot slap landed on his cheek.
TBC…
