CHAPTER 19

When I arrived back home, I saw that my mother had gone overboard. Huge, white candles were lit on spikes and scattered around the front of the house. I walked around to the backyard and absorbed its beauty: colored fairy lights decorated the garden and a huge, white tent, and red rose petals floated in the pool.

My mother had booked a singer and arranged for synchronized swimmers to perform in the lily pool. There was also a show of belly dancers and a fire-eater to endure throughout the evening, along with a finale of fireworks. All of this fuss wasn’t entirely for my father, but after a few drinks, he would happily go along with anything.

I walked up to my bedroom and rustled around my closet for an outfit. I decided to wear my gold-satin, floor-length gown. It had black, onyx stones lining the hem, and revealed my back; it was the perfect dress for the occasion. I wore my hair up and had a spray of gypsophila weaved around my curls. After I slipped on a pair of matching gold, kitten heels, I looked in the mirror and spun around, feeling almost like a princess.

Guests had begun to arrive and I mentally prepared myself for plenty of air kissing and lots of two-faced conversation. At least I had my boyfriend to spend the evening with, which was a first. I just hoped that Seb and Jack would be on their best behavior, and I would definitely be keeping Jack away from anything that smelled of alcohol, even the chocolate liqueurs.

After one last look in the mirror, I headed downstairs to mingle with the guests. Jack and his family hadn’t arrived yet, so I made small talk with Savannah Jenkins. Our parents had been friends since we were three years old, but I hadn’t seen Savannah in a couple of years. I didn’t dislike her, but the only thing we had in common was how much our parents liked to flaunt their wealth.

To my relief, Jack and his family finally walked through the door. Jack wore a full, black tuxedo that complemented a pale blue shirt. The first three buttons were undone, exposing just enough of his chest to tease me. I guess that was some kind of sweet revenge for my emerald-green dress. Lindsey looked lovely in a cream skirt suit, but Jonathan looked incredibly uncomfortable in his gray trousers and short-sleeved cream, paisley patterned shirt. I was surprised that he had even agreed to come, because he wasn’t a very sociable person. My parents and their friends would probably be Jonathan’s worst nightmare.

I took a step back and observed Sebastian. He wore a gray suit and a pink shirt with two buttons undone. His hair was slicked back and, as he walked in, he took off his sunglasses and slid them into his shirt pocket. He looked sophisticated and dazzled with sex appeal. In fact, everything about Sebastian screamed out to me. He was my type: tall, confident, and possessing a mysterious air about him.
