Alyssa and Quinn got out of the car and coincidentally met with Tina who was just about to walk in. Tina sighted the both of them and walked over to their side. Alyssa didn't know what to feel when she noticed they were putting on the same type of dress. Alyssa's was red while Tina's dress was white. Although Alyssa was unhappy, she still complimented Tina's beauty in her heart. “ Alyssa It's nice to have you here. How about we head inside together? Quinn you don't mind right?” Tina raised her brows expectantly waiting for his response. Quinn stated at Alyssa then nodded his head. “ That's great.” Tina smiled and pulled Alyssa along. “ I had to pull you away from him because I noticed you were looking uncomfortable. ” She cast a look over Alyssa. “ Is something going on between you two?”Alyssa twisted her lips and stared down at her feet. Tina sighed and touched Alyssa's palm. “ I know Quinn better than you do and I know how to pacify him whenever he is annoyed about something

Alyssa sat calmly on the stool with her head lowered down. She was well aware everyone had gotten a glimpse of her with the light shining on her tiny body. She was secretly thankful to Tina since she would be able to showcase a one of the numerous talent she has. She raises her head to confirm if she had Quinn Winters attention. Her eyes met with his and she quickly averted her gaze to somewhere else. She was unable to understand the lump in her throat when seeing Tina and Quinn sitting close to each other. It reminded her of her flaws and the type of person she was. It felt like a torture to her so she looked around and finally found the group of people she was searching for. Kimberly waved at her with a smile and whispered something into Rose's ear. The latter giggled and smiled at Alyssa.Mason just stood there feeling relaxed while occasionally sipping his wine. Alyssa rolled her eyes when their eyes met and directed her gaze to the pianoforte sitting in front if her. *“ Do

“ Ah...yes. I'm very grateful for today. I met lots of people. I even made friends.” She said feeling proud of herself. Quinn Winters ran a hand over his face. He straightened up and stared at her quietly. Alyssa felt his stare on her. She avoided looking at his direction and rather felt solace staring at her feet. “ Uhmm...what did you discuss with my grandmother?” Alyssa tightly shut her eyes to calm her self down. She wasn't the type to keep secrets only that she was a bit tight lipped than Alexia. Quinn whose eyes didn't leave her face for a second noticed and analysed all of her facial expression. At first it was shock, then fear, before looking a bit normal. “ Nothing much. She wanted to see” She scratched her head. The loose strands that slipped out of her messy bun perfectly carved her face. Quinn's hand itched to caress her shiny hair under the dim light. Rather than fulfilling his wish, he unbuttoned the first three buttons of his shirt.He left his jacket on the cha

Tina turned off the tap and stared at Quinn. With a smile she asked “ Don't tell me you are nervous. Though your expression says it all, I refuse to believe. ” Quinn distanced himself from her. He placed his hands in his pockets and deeply stared at her. “ Let's cancel the engagement. It's not too late for announcement. ”The smile on Tina's face didn't disappear. “ It's not even April fools day. What the heck are you talking about. It's not too hard to admit you're nervous about the engagement and all that. ” She raised her hands up trying to emphasize her words. Quinn wasn't deterred by her words. He expected her not to take his words serious. They had been together for quite a long while with no big issues between them. His sudden utterance was uncalled for. He knew nevertheless that he had to inform her about his plans as soon as possible. “ Alyssa is just a young girl who knows nothing about the world. If I decide to get engaged to you, she will feel unsecured. She is in her

Quinn didn't expect his reaction to the question to be as serious as that. He passed him a glass of water. Kai received it half standing. He took a gulp and placed it back on the table with a loud bang. “ I suddenly remember I have something to do. I will get going” Kai hurriedly grabbed his coat a d left without turning back to look at Quinn. “ Hmm...” Quinn placed his hands on his chin before knocking on the table. Two staffs entered the room and promptly cleared the dishes leaving only the decanter and wine glass, on Quinn's order. * Kai ruffled his hair as soon as the night breeze hit his face. He closed his eyes, taking in deep breath to steady himself. Alas! His heart had other plans for him. He could feel his heart beating fast like it was about bursting. He ran a tired hand across his face and sighed. ‘ Where are you, Finn? Where the hell are you?' He kicked the tyre of his car in frustration. “ Arrgh!!” His emotions were unstable probably because of the enormous
