The reception

I wonder how much longer I would have to keep smiling at a lot of unfamiliar faces. Well.. what can I say, Alice knows a lot of people that knows a lot of people.

"I have to say Juliet, your cake taste really lovely. Do you mind baking one for my niece's birthday." A woman who I don't even know. As a matter of fact, I just met her... Said to me. I just met this woman like about a minute ago and I'm already getting weary of her. What can I say... I'm not a people person. I love just being on my own. I can't even remember the woman's name.

I put on a fake smile and said in the nicest way ever. "That would be a pleasure ma'am, here is my card. You can call me."

Now, at this very moment I was about making my big escape when the disturbing, irritating woman spoke again. Argh. 

"You know, the decor of the reception is really beautiful and elegant. But my own daughter's wedding reception would be more beautiful and elegant than this." Oh Jesus Christ!. First of all it was her niece, now is her daughter.

I really do not know what Is wrong with this woman. I thought people come to wedding to witness the true love between two people. To witness the joining of two lover's. But no, I think this woman only came to stare at the decor and the cake of course. 

She probably wants to know what's trending, so.. she could make her daughter's wedding much more better. Ugh, she makes me sick.

"And of course you would also take care of her cake." She added... Ugh, someone stopped this woman from talking. God, don't you have a remote that you could use in muting her.

At that moment, my prayer was answered in the form of Mr Green eyes. Yup, the guy with the hard wall-like body.

"Hi beautiful, have been searching for you. Where have you been, and how could you just leave me all by myself. That's not fair you know." Mr green eyes said all at once. 

Okay... What's going on. First he called me beautiful, which I'm not. I am hideous!.

Secondly, did he just say he has been searching for me. Why in the world would he be searching for me?.. I don't get it.

Thirdly, did he just said that I left him all by himself. I have come to the conclusion that Mr green eyes here, must have had a lot of drink. And that is why he is talking like a drunkard. You are so correct juliet.

"Is he your boyfriend miss juliet?." The irritating woman asked. Ugh..  why is she poking into my business.

"No."

"Yes." I and green eyes said at the same time. And ofcourse, I was the one who said no.

The woman looked at the both of us confused, "Uhm which one is it?."

"Actually she's my girlfriend. She's only mad at me and that's why she said no. We will both take our leave now." Green eyes said sharply, then held my hand and dragged me away. But before leaving I heard the woman mutter, "How could she possibly be mad at him. She's supposed to be grateful that he is dating a fat ugly lady like her."

Normally I should have been sad by her comments, but nothing can get through my thick skin now.

"Okay...  What is the meaning of what you just did." I whispered yelled in green eyes face, once we were currently far away from the irritating woman.

"This was not the thank you I was expecting, but well.. I would take it." He said chivalrously, then gave a slight bow.

"Excuse me.. but are we actually speaking the same language right now, cause I do not know what you mean by the word *thank you* What should I thank you for exactly?." I glared at him fiercely.

"Well... For saving you from the lady earlier. I could see that you weren't in the least interested in whatever gibberish she was saying." 

I rolled my eyes, "so what are you now? My savior. Oh no, my angel or are you my hero?." I asked him, my words laced with sarcasm.

"Wow, she's full of sarcasms. I see. Well... I guess I shouldn't be expecting that *thank you* right?." He says emphasizing on the word thank you, his ears where standing high, itching with hope. Ugh, yup another eye roll.

"No, you shouldn't hope for it or anything like it. I won't say thank you to you, cause I didn't ask you for it in the first place." I glared at him, raised my shoulders high and walked away.

I decided to spend the remaining time I had in the reception trying different types of deliciousness. But of course, a certain someone wouldn't let me taste my deliciousnes in peace. He kept on disturbing me, and refused to leave me alone.

Ugh, he is such a bug. Always bugging the hell out of me.

Thank fully, most of the time I was able to get rid of him and other times.... I wasn't really able to do so. Well.. that's by the way.

The reception has come to an end, my bestfriend is on a car heading for the airport and I am going back home. I meant going back to my bestfriend apartment, I have to make use of her jacuzzi and relax my fat self into the hot refreshing water.

I got into my car, I was about closing it when a certain unknown hand stopped me from closing the door. 

"Uhm, I was wondering if you could drop me off by the nearest bus stop." Green eyes said to me, poking his head into my car. I don't get it, how In gods name is he related to Derek. I am one hundred percent sure he isn't related to Alice. 

Alice would never have such a man as a family member.

"I can't drop you off, I'm not a taxi driver. Now if you don't mind, I will be off." Without giving him a chance to talk more further, I drove away in speed.

Now that's more like it.
