In another ten minutes, everyone was up on the rooftop. So light music was playing, so of them were around the bar and others were around the pool.
"I feel like Rachel and Alex look more like siblings than we do," Jen comnted as she sipped on Lucas' drink. She was now standing between Lucas' legs and leaning against him as she had found herself trapped there. How it happened, she really did not rember, nor did she care.
"Mmmh," Leanna agreed as she looked at the two won sitting side by side at the edge of the pool, with their legs dipped into the water.
Both of them had blonde hair and blue eyes, even though Alex's hair was much longer. The two of them were catching up with each other because Brian ran off sowhere with Jason.
Leanna watched the two won while holding a glass of juice in her hand. Ethan was also holding a whiskey glass next to her. For once he was not all over the place trying to make Leanna comfortable. She felt tired just by looking at him run around. There were maids at ho, but he would insist on doing things himself. Now that he was sitting down, she felt more at ease.
On the other side of the pool, there was an interesting scene playing out. Michael had sat on a lounge chair that was next to Jas.
He had an excellent view of Alex from that spot, so he sat without thinking. Jas turned his head when he noticed movents on his peripheral, he turned to look at him.
He saw the dark-haired young man he had seen earlier. Lucas had told him he was interning at the company and that his na was Michael. Jas studied him and then followed his gaze and noticed that he had been watching Alex. His expression changed from curious to amused as he looked at him.
"You like her?" Jas asked as he leaned back on the lounge chair. Michael, who had paid no attention to his surroundings, was almost startled into dropping his glass. When he looked at who spoke to him, he saw that it was Lucas' brother.
"Pardon?" he responded, and Jas turned his head again. His grey eyes looked at his black ones. Michael only thought that his eyes were similar to the big boss and that he was a bit too attractive. He hadn't had the chance to et the people in Lucas' social circle, and today was the first ti.
Jason and Ethan were easy to talk to, David was busy compensating his girlfriend, so he hadn't talked to him after dinner.
He had seen Brian briefly, the man that was fully tattooed and carried an alienated aura, but unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to talk to him.
Nathan was very handso, but for so reason, he really did not feel like talking to him. It was only now that he had the opportunity to et Jas.
"Do you like her?" Jas repeated and saw the boy's ears turn red. It had been a while since he had interacted with soone so young.
Even with the artists in his company, they wouldn't dare speak casually with him, and anything they would say of their own initiative was limited to greeting him and answering his questions. Any complaints or problems they faced would be brought to him by their managers. It was quite interesting to watch.
Michael looked at Alex who was laughing at sothing Rachel said and looked away, only for his eyes to et Jas'. He felt like he did not even need to answer the question just from how Jas was looking at him with a knowing look.
"Are you too scared to tell her?" Jas asked him with a chuckle. The age gap between the two of them was ten years. When was the last ti he felt so nervous about a girl?
"If I thought she would take seriously, I would have told her," Michael said and took a sip of his drink.
"Hm?" Jas responded in question.
"Her young brother is the sa age as I am, she keeps comparing to him," he complained.
"Ah, just tell her. At least she will stop thinking of you as a younger brother," Jas said as he shrugged his shoulders. Has he dated older won? He has, and it was an interesting experience.
Unlike Lucas, who was only two years younger than Jen, he has dated two won, one who was eight years older and the other was seven years his senior. It was because he was interested in them and just boldly went for it.
Looking at Alex, he guessed that she was probably the sa age as Lucas, and although Michael was young, he was not too young. The only thing he did not enjoy about dating older won was that they would mom him, even with his character, and that would put him off.
The few interactions he has had with Alex at the wedding showed that she was clear about what she wanted, while Michael was still at an age where he was unsure with himself. Jas figured that it was just puppy love and he would get over it, eventually.
"I won't, at least not now. It'll be a sure failure if I do it now," Michael said to Jas. He had thought about it, and if Jas had been able to gather Alex's character after eting her a few tis, Michael knew so much more since they worked together. Such impulsiveness would make her think he is joking or going through a phase.
"Then what will you do?" Jas asked curiously.
"I'll tell her once I'm in a position where she will take seriously," Michael answered and looked at Jas. Jas looked at him for a beat and laughed. He wondered where Lucas found this boy because he was seriously thinking of stealing him into his own company.
"If you'll still be interested in her, and if she is still single?" Jas asked him and Michael realised the loophole in that plan. Jas saw that he was thinking really hard about it and suddenly missed his own girlfriend.
He stood up from the lounge chair he was sitting in and patted Michael's shoulder. Only because he restrained the urge to ruffle his hair.
"You better be quick then, I'm rooting for you," Jas said and walked to the pool. Michael watched the tall man go to the pool and fell deep in thought.
Jas spotted his redhead in the hot tub at the far end of the pool and walked toward the area. He shrugged off the light shirt he was wearing and climbed up and into the tub.
Laura opened her eyes when she heard movent next to her only to be t with Jas with his bare upper body, and the stunning tattoo on his side standing out even with the dim lighting in the area. Her mouth turned dry as he got closer to her.
"Why are you hiding here?" Jas asked as he sat next to her, putting an arm behind her.
"I was just testing the tub, I was thinking of getting one for my place," Laura answered and looked up at him. Jas looked around them and saw that there was no one close to them, and they were all too busy socializing to notice them.
"Hmm, I missed you," Jas said, and Laura felt a hand on her thigh before she pulled to straddle his lap. She was barely dressed, and so was he. What was he planning to do?
It wasn't just this pair that had stolen away for a rendezvous in the dark. Nancy was currently leaning weakly against David as he whispered an apology to her.
Why was he apologizing? It was because he was too busy at work, and even though he still made ti to see Nancy, she was worried that he was overworking himself.
"Why are you apologizing to ?" Nancy asked him with a frown on her face. David used his fingers to smoothen the frown on her forehead with a smile on his face.
"Cause I made you worry," he answered and looked at her slightly swollen lips once more. He was not wearing his glasses, so she received the full impact of being stared at by his amber eyes. Seeing that she had beco dazed, David leaned forward and kissed her again.
Nancy felt her heart race, and she grabbed the sides of his shirt. The two of them were downstairs in the empty garden. Nancy was hidden between David and the tree, so she was worry-free. Besides, everyone was having fun on the terrace.
She was wearing a knitted beach cover-up that didn't really cover up much, so David could slip a hand under the hem of the dress, his fingers caressing the back of her thigh.
His other hand had pulled down one side of the bikini top through one of the large holes of the knitted material. His index finger casually played with it as his other hand squeezed her bottom. David suddenly stopped his actions as he realised he was getting carried away and buried his face in her neck.
"Am I forgiven?" he asked her, and he got smacked on the shoulder.
"Do you think I was thinking about your forgiveness?" Nancy asked him, her expression losing its severity because of the swollen lips and her blushing cheeks. David laughed when he heard this and pulled away to look at her. When he saw her nipple peeking through the dress, his eyes darkened and he corrected her clothing.
"We should go back, they are going to miss us," David said after making sure that she looked like she did in the beginning.
"You owe ," Nancy said to him, and he laughed while nodding in agreent. He did not plan to renege either.
