\Chapter 7/ The Party Ends.

A ballad tune begins to play softly in the background. It was a slow and romantic one.

The silhouette begins to move slowly. The light comes on and she begins to twirl around in rhythm with the song.

All the guests watched quietly except the boys.

"Rowan, I didn't know that you like ballet dances". Nate said as he watched with interest.

"You don't know everything about me". Rowan replied focused on the ballerina performing.

"Nobody does, you are very secretive, you know I mean who knows what secrets you are hiding".

"Worry about yourself, playboy" Rowan replied flatly.

'Hahahahh' Nate laughed and turns to look at

Geal who was on his phone not interested in what was happening around him.

"I wonder what Eve's reaction was when she saw your new girlfriend". Geal said all of a sudden.

"It was very awkward for me, and I told you that bringing her or posting her online is a bad idea, Eve was very shocked and sad when she heard about it, even though she tried to hide it". Waylen said as he beckons to a waiter to come.

"Can you all talk later please?" Rowan speaks out.

Alvan walks to one of the guest's seats as he was beckoned on.

Waylen whispers into his ear.

"Please help me deliver this to the blonde on the other table over there with six girls," He said as he hands over a paper to him.

"Alright". Alvan responded.

'Uhh, these 'kids' always flirting around why can't he give her by himself, too shy?' Alvan thought as he walked to Baara's table.

"Hello, ladies please excuse me". Alvan said as he walks to Ariel's side opposite Baara.

'I know that voice'!

'Oh my God, it's him, what's he doing here, I need to hide my face'. Baara thought nervously as she brought her face down under the table.

Eve looks at her wondering what is wrong with her.

"The handsome-looking guy over the other table who is dressed in a coperate style said I should give this to you," Alvan said as he headed over the piece of paper to Ariel.

"Alright thanks, you can leave". Ariel said as she was holding in her laughter.

'My brother, "handsome-looking". She giggled as the waiter left.

"What's happening," Freya asked looking at the paper in Ariel's hands.

"That waiter thought my brother was trying to woo me, he said 'the handsome-looking guy over there wants to give me this" Ariel replied.

"Is that why you are laughing? He is not wrong tho". Freya said.

"He is my brother, of course, it's funny to hear, go back to pressing your phone". Ariel answered back.

"Or do you like my twin brother?" Ariel asked as she squint her eyes and brings her face close to Freya's to gauge her reaction.

"What! No, Ew" Freya replied.

"Better!".

Daphne studies Freya's face.

'Hmm is it Waylen she likes'. She thought to herself.

"Why are you looking at me?" Freya asks as she notices Daphne looking at her.

"Nothing".

Baara raised her head a little over the table.

"Ugh, he is gone". She thought to herself loudly.

"Who is gone?" Eve asks.

Beryl turns to look at them.

"Ah, you heard that?! It's nothing". Baara replied as she checks around before she turns back to Eve.

"It's nothing". She said again.

Eve and Beryl looked at her with confusion and questions on their faces.

Baara grinned shyly at them.

'Oh my God, I am embarrassing myself'.

The guests clap their hands as the performance by the prima ballerina was over, and the emcee goes back to the stage to continue hosting the event.

"That was a lovely and flawless performance, I mean you can't expect anything less than that from the renowned prima ballerina Priscilla jones. A round of applause once more for her". He said.

And the guests clapped again.

"Thank you all once again for attending and being a part of this celebration...Enjoy the refreshments and the rest of the night, and stay safe". The emcee said as he brings the party to an end.

"Ugh finally," Freya said tiredly.

"Oh please, it's not even been up to four hours yet, and you want to go already". Daphne said.

"Don't mind her". Ariel said nonchalantly.

Freya rolled her eyes at them.

"You guys know I hate parties,"

"Well this is a private one and it's for your friend, don't be selfish". Daphne said.

"Oh please, Daphne, we all know why you are here". Freya said provoked.

"Alright now don't get angry". Daphne said snickering.

"Stop it, Daphne". Ariel said with a straight face.

"Alright, I will".

Baara smiled at them.

The waiters have already started placing the food on the guest tables while some walked around with a tray of glasses of wine. The aroma of the delicious-looking foods filled the place.

A beautiful waitress comes to the girl's table.

She looks like she is in her early twenties with a petite body and short hair in a waiter's uniform.

"Hello, beautiful ladies what can I get for you?" she asked politely.

"Are we eating anything here, I don't think so we will eat at the penthouse". Ariel said.

"Umm, I would like to eat something," Beryl speaks up.

"Oh ok, you can make your order". Ariel said.

Beryl makes her order and the waitress leaves for another guest's table.

"Aren't you going to stay at the penthouse tonight"? Daphne asks.

"Nope I don't think so, I will leave for my home after the party".

"Oh, is it because of Eve?" Freya asks.

"You shouldn't be asking that Freya" Ariel said.

"It's just a question" Freya retorted.

Eve smiled.

"Are you leaving early because of me?" Eve raises a question to Beryl.

"Uhh, nope" Beryl answered.

"I told Nate that I won't be staying at the birthday party for long as I am not familiar with anybody here and I didn't bring someone with me, you know for safety" She shrugs.

"This is our first date you know" Beryl went on.

A different waitress from the one before comes to the table carrying a tray of food to serve.

"Here is your order ma'am," She said as she places it on the table in front of Beryl.

Baara was shocked when she saw the different waitress serving the food.
