"I didn"t think that you would actually be here in ten minutes," David said once he was able to talk to Lucas as the both of them were being stopped by the guests as they walked towards each other.
"You look beautiful Jen" Nancy said once they were in front of each other.
"You look stunning as well" Jen said with a bright smile as she held both of Nancy"s hands.
"Is everyone here?" Lucas asked David as he looked around.
"Does it matter, you have to go start talking to potential partners" David said before he looked at Jen.
"You look beautiful Miss Larson," David said politely.
"Heh, thank you. I"ve asked you numerous times to call me Jen" Jen said with a smile. As usual, David ignored her request and even before he could say anything Michael showed up.
"Mr. Lucas, your here," Michael said and Jen chuckled in response. She always thought it was funny how he called Lucas Mr Lucas.
"You can call him Mr. Lewis today since his father isn"t around," David said after he saw Lucas" expression. It would be a disaster if other people started calling him Mr. Lucas as well.
"The party looks great, you did a great job kid," Lucas said and stopped himself from ruffling Michael"s hair. Jen chuckled when she saw how his face visibly brightened.
"Where is Nancy?" Jen asked David curiously.
"She"s there," David said as he turned around and pointed in the girls" direction. Jen immediately spotted them as Nancy"s dress was not discreet at all, nor was the lady that was standing next to her.
"You guys can go do what you need to do, I"m going to say hi first" Jen said and patted Lucas" arm before she walked towards the two women.
Lucas watched Jen walk away with a smile on his face before he looked at David with a completely different expression.
"Shall we go?" Lucas asked and David nodded in response before they walked to the other side of the room.
Jen didn"t take long to reach the two women that were talking to each other as they looked in her direction.
"You"re finally here, what took you so long?" Nancy said as she hugged Jen. Jen chuckled but chose not to say anything. It was not like she was proud of the fact that she came late because she and Lucas got carried away once he had kissed her.
"I see David really came with you" Jen said once she released Nancy and smiled when her face became flushed.
"You look familiar," Jen said as she looked at Sofiya who was watching the two friends interact.
"Oh, this is Sofiya, Michael"s sister" Nancy said as she was reminded of her presence.
"Nice to meet you. I"m Jen, I"m actually in the same cla.s.s as Michael" Jen said as she extended her arm to shake Sofiya"s.
"Nice to meet you as well. I was the only one available for the party tonight" Sofiya said as she shook Jen"s arm. Her comment reminded Jen that Michael had three sisters, although he had never volunteered any details about them to her.
"I hope you guys weren"t too bored," Jen said as she picked up a wine gla.s.s from a waiter that was pa.s.sing by.
"No, we weren"t" Nancy said.
"That"s good, cause I was hoping you wouldn"t be left in a corner by yourself," Jen said as she looked to Lucas" direction. He was talking seriously with one of the guests that she couldn"t stop herself from smiling from remembering how he acted in front of the hotel just minutes ago.
