Chapter:20
Hello! Mr. Benson and Mrs. Victoria. Simon greets my parents. Hello! Simon, please call me only uncle as I am your father’s friend not any kind of entrepreneur. Sure uncle, please meet my partner, Logan. He greets both of them. Come and enjoy the party. See Evan, I called them for today’s party. This is an amazing surprise I murmur when I see Logan. Your mother insisted that when they are coming to our city then why don’t you call them? My father explains everything. My mother always knows how to make her son happy. These all arrangements have been done by our sweetheart Carol. My mother sounds happy while telling this. Weston didn’t expect this from Carol. What are you saying aunt? He questions. Seriously, yes. all the food and decoration have been planned by Carol; her staff came here to decorate. We are just witness to all these things. Weston really happy by Carol’s gesture even I appreciate her efforts. Weston kisses Carol on lips and hugs her tight. And I feel this is obvious. After few minutes Peter also joins the party and we people were stunned. As today is a wonderful day of collecting new memories and remembering the past moments.
Logan gifts painting to Sarah, she is happy and thankful. He smiles and talks to everyone and they all like him. Logan, Evan finally finds company to enjoy Japanese food. I guess you people go well with each other. Elena says to him. I guess we were going good together but he was missing you a lot. Next time, we wish you also come with him. Oh! Logan you need not to do all this, you can’t lie. I see Logan and he understands with my expressions what I was trying to say. He talks to my mother as they both love music. She smiles and laughs with him loud. Then my father turned on the music. They both begin to dance and slowly everyone with their partner come to dance. Peter dances with Sarah. Weston holds Carol and finally I and Elena dance but my eyes were on Logan who was tasting food alone because Simon was again on the phone. He also stares me. Elena kisses me and continue to dance and he turns his back. He doesn’t like it and he tries to hide his jealousy. I also want to dance with him, walk with him. I don’t want to lose him. I say to myself.
Music stops, I see Weston on his knees holding Carol’s hand and asks her to marry him. Everyone makes noise and she is shocked as she didn’t expect such a move from Weston. she nods and say ‘Yes’. I wonder that this time she is also eager to marry him. He puts ring on her finger and they kiss and hug each other and everyone applause and we all congratulate them. Weston! You have provoked Elena too. The way she is looking at me as if I have done a crime by not purposing her before Weston did. I want to run and run but not alone. I am pretty much sure that I want Logan. Simon and Logan also wish them luck. After few minutes, John and his wife, Julie and Peter leave. Weston also leaves with Carol. When Simon and Logan take permission to leave then my father asks them to stay for a night with them. No, uncle Ben, we don’t want to bother you. I have already booked a suite in hotel. Simon explains. No, my son, be my guest for one night and in the morning, you can go after having breakfast, even my mother insists them to stay and they agree. Elena also decides to stay with me in my father’s house. Sarah, Clare and my brother-in-law also stay with us. My father shows them their room personally as they were already tired.
While I was changing my clothes suddenly Elena comes and holds me tightly. I wanted to move her away but she started kissing me and I turn around her she fixated on my lips and pushed me to the bed. She starts opening button of my pants and I ask her to stop. You should sleep, it was a tiring day and I moved her aside. I don’t want to sleep it is a long time that we haven’t come close to each other. She again falls on my top. I seriously refused her and she shouts. What happened Evan? Are you losing interest in me? What eats you? I am observing from last many days that you are not in a mood or are you avoiding me? Tell me! Her voice raises, it's nothing like that and don’t shout everyone will come to our room. So, what! I need an answer? Do you like Sarah? Your childhood buddy as from day one I know her intentions. She is a bitch. I will teach her a lesson if she comes my way. Elena, ‘hold your tongue’! I told you there is nothing like that. You are crossing your limit. Stop pushing your brain much. I warn you. I am not afraid of anyone Evan, you are afraid of me, our relationship, marriage and everything. Can you tell me that when are we announcing our engagement or have you got bored with me? She is in tears but her sound is loud. Yes, ‘I am afraid’ I say and leave her alone. I go to the terrace for fresh air. I feel suffocated.
Are you okay? I turn around and find Logan standing. I see him and didn’t think for a minute and hug him and he hugs me back. I am not okay! I speak. He heard me and releases himself from my hold. Logan please, I need you. I beg. He slowly goes back and I in tears keep looking at him. He comes back and kisses me passionately. I kiss him back. We both take off our shirt. I worship his every inch of body and he does the same with mine. And under the moon and stars we make love. I was happy that my father has spread some soft carpet on the roof to rest. I finally enjoy every moment as it was a wonderful day and night.
Next morning, I open my eyes and find Logan in my arms. I smile as I know what to do now as a new chapter of my life has begun. No matter what everyone thinks. I must listen to my heart and body.
