Chapter 15: Having a bride to be
CHAPTER FIFTEEN.
Jayden’s Pov.
It’s a few minutes past 2300hrs when we get to the nightclub and we are all dying to get our hands on some booze. It’s been a while since we partied; what with the work and the tension that comes with last minute stress?
We spotted Edward on a packed table and we pushed our way through the throng of drunkards towards them.
“Hey sexy dudes, you’re smoking hot.” A random Girl says coming over as soon as she spots us.
Everyone turns to look at us and in no time, we’re passed around in tight stares.
“You told me this place was secluded enough, you asshole” Fanuel gritted his teeth.
“Well, I thought it was.”
“Pray I don’t get to see my name flying on BBC and world news tomorrow, if not you will be in for it.”
“Copy that.”
“Holla” Edward said cheerfully as he slipped his soda.
“Holla back.”
“You don’t have to be an ass you know;besides I was greeting Jayden not you.
“I’m too hot for your greetings, presidents and prime ministers of the royal cabinet should be the ones greeting me.. not a douchebag like you.”
“I could punch this guy right now, Jayden can you please take him back home? I don’t want anyone spoiling my mood with any classy compliment.”
“You would miss me, I better stay.”
“You wish.”
“So guys, what are we drinking tonight?” I interrupted their unending argument.
“Shirley Temple on ice cubes please.” Fanuel said and Edward scoffed.
“Are you sure you don’t want to visit a temple? Cause what’s it with Shirley temple every time.”
“He has the drink staring right at his face at home but he never touches it, he threw the expired one today.” I said and Fanuel glared.
“I didn’t throw it on purpose, I wept while thrashing that; I don’t seem to remember that I have the drink when I’m home, until I step out of the house, I always have this evil craving for that drink.”
“And you happen to be the evil drinker huh? Jayden please get him his Shirley evil and get yours, bills on me.”
“You’re joking right?”
“Fanuel let’s not start! Bills on me period!!”
“Jayden got us the drinks, bills for me.”
“I asked you to get the hell out of your shell hole to lighten up here, and you want to give me orders on who pays the bill?”
“Fine, bills on Edward…. he’s about to cry, that will be so embarrassing to watch.”
“Gosh!! You two are unbelievable!”
I shook my head and headed towards the bar stand.
“Shirley temple and vodka gin” I told the bar guy who stared at me without moving.
“What, do I look so cute that you can’t do your job?”
“Shirley temple-two thousand dollars
Vodka gin-a thousand dollars”
“Do you have any better drink than that?”
“I’m sorry, I will get it right away”
I scoffed and turned to look around the lousy place. It reeked of sinful bodies dancing and grinding against each other. Someone seems to be unmoved and unfazed as he was lost in his own world, sitted by the bar stand and drinking away his sorrows.
“That’s his seventh shot, I tried persuading into drink more; so he just ordered his eighth shot.” I glare at the bartender.
“He’s already wasted and you persuaded him into buying more, how generous of you.”
“I’m just selling my business, what more do you expect from me?”
“You will be at the verge of dying one day, and a doctor will make it easier for you by killing you off with his medicine.”
“Godforbid! That’s harsh man”
“He will just want to try his experiment on your body, what more will you expect from him?”
I hissed at the selfish moron and turned to look at the guy, he was gone!
He wasn’t there again but something flashed before me.
A bracelet.
I went over to pick it, it looked really familiar. I thought hard…. I saw this bracelet recently on someone’s hand.
Wait…Christine!!
Yes, she has this exact type of bracelet on her hands! Who could that guy be?
I took the drinks and went over to meet them.
“You took forever!!”
“Sorry”
“Why is the Shirley temple looking like sin?” Edward asked.
“How?”
“Can’t you see how red it is, deep red”
“Guy, you don’t have to be a thwarter all the time.”
“Yeah speaking of that, I saw what you did on your Instagram page” I told him and he smirked.
“Yeah, just to stir them up a little.”
“So, who is this wonderful person? Edward asked him, smiling so wide.
“Who is who? There’s no one, I just did that to stir them up.”
“You’re crazy Fanuel.”
“Yeah, I love crazy.”
Fanuel sighed and sipped his drink with style. He looks worried as fuck and he hasn’t had some sleep for some days now, all thanks to dad’s company an the marriage troll on his neck.
He doesn’t want to get married and reasons best known to him. He wasn’t even a relationship type, he stayed cleared from ladies no matter how they shamelessly threw themselves at him.
He was exceptionally unexplainable.
“Hey guys, I have an idea.”
They all turned to look at me with eager ears.
*********
“What?” Christine gasped while Laurel and Diana rushed to look at the phone and they gasped.
“Wow!! It’s good news, why do you sound as if it’s bad news.”Laurel said smiling while Diana wasn’t convinced enough so she read it aloud.
CELEBRITY CEO HANDSOME, FANUEL HUDSON HAS TOOK TO HIS INSTAGRAM PAGE ON HAVING A BRIDE TO BE TO SAVE HUDSON’S CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES.
“That’s not possible!!” Diana yelled.
“Why?” Laurel and Christine both chorused.
“I mean, he never had a fiancee from the onset.”
“Yeah but he has now, I’m just surprised at the fact that it took him so long to admit that he’s going to get married, like what the heck!!”
“Maybe he has finally seen the girl of his dreams”
“Dreams my foot, I just can’t wait for him to get married and leave the adventure. I might be set free.” Christine said and Laurel smirked.
“Until then baby girl, you’re still stuck here till next week. Fanuel hudson is getting married next week”.
