The party (1)

The day passed like a second for Mary. The rest of the day went very normal. The night of party, Mary and Damon got dressed and ready to go out. Mary wore a black glittery dress with a silver necklace and black high heels while Damon wore a black and white stripped shirt with a black coat and a black tie. The couple looked nonetheless very attractive.

As the party would last till very late Mary and Damon both came to the agreement they should probably not take Levi. They checked to see Levi was still sleeping and left Rosie in charge before heading down to the parking lot with keys ever since Mary had complimented Damon on his driving skills. He had been the one driving behind the vehicle instead of drivers or Assistant Ling.

Damon opened the door for Mary like a gentleman and she sat in. Damon then sat in the driver's seat. He buckled up both her and his own seatbelt and started driving after checking the mirrors.

"Will Naomi, Lucas and Damian be there?" Mary asked to break the awkward silence between them.

"Yes, Lucas is the one holding the party." Damon answered.

"You have such cool friends." Mary said.

"More like lunatic." He said and Mary giggled.

"Well, I don't have any friends here yet." Mary said.

"You can change that tonight. Tonight's party's going to be huge. Instead of hanging around me and my friends, you can try finding some on your own." He said.

"Ha,ha,ha.....I am not very social." Mary said. Mary grew up very isolated from the world. In fact Katherine is the only friend she's ever had.

"Neither is Xavier. I think it's very important for one to have social skills. I am going to pick up Xavier. He has been avoiding social events and family gatherings." Damon said.

"Okay." Mary said.

"Wait here, I will be back in a second." Damon said after parking outside a apartment building.

A few minutes later, an image of Damon dragging Xavier was seen by Mary. Xavier sat edge back seat. He was wearing as black button up shirt with Black pants. His hair was a complete mess and it looked as if he had just woken up.

"You both can try make friends together." Damon said starting the car.

"You said he didn't like social events. I am surprised he agreed to come along." Mary said.

"I didn't! Damon here broke into my apartment and dragged me out of my bed." Xavier complained.

"Compared to him. I am way more social. I remember the first day of college, he had his hearing aid off during-" She was interrupted by Xavier's hand on her mouth. Mary clawed his hand with her long nails in attempts at o getting his hand of her mouth.

"No need to talk about such useless topics." Xavier said finally removing his hand.

"You smudged my lipstick, you piece of -" This time she was interrupted by her husband.

"No need to aggressive, my love." said handing her a tissue and a compact mirror.

"You call her 'my love'. That's so cliche and disgusting." He said.

"I know. Damon, I have told you goodness know how many times before not call me that." Mary said.

"What would you sore losers know about romantic nicknames. I bet you both haven't even went on a single date in your life. In Mary's case I was probably her first." He said winking at her. Both Xavier and Mary were pretty offended by Damon's comment on them but kept silent. Their was a definitely a change in air as it felt colder than before. Both Mary and Xavier went on their own phone.

The rest of the drive was silent as Damon got a call from Mr. Donovan who is a businessman collaborating with Damon for a new business idea.

"We're here." Damon said pulling up into the parking lot of the banquet. Mary took one last look in the mirror and got out with Xavier. Damon told them to go in while he parked the car.

Xavier took Mary's hand but Mary stopped and paused for a while. "Let me fox your hair before we go in." She said pulling her hand away. She played with his hair using her hand till she felt satisfied. Just like Damon, Xavier was very attractive and had sharp features.

"Can we go now?" He asked annoyed.

"Okay." She said putting her hand onto of his. He grabbed it and they both went in.

The banquet was very beautifully decorated. There were waiters serving drinks everywhere along with tables, chairs and a musician was playing the piano. There were a lot of people but it was not crowded because the banquet was very large. Everyone waa dressed elegantly.

Just looking at the sight made Xavier wanna turn back and go home to sleep in his comfortable bed. Mary on the other hand felt excitement and fear. A subtle combination of them both.

Mary and Xavier sat down on a table. "How exactly do we approach other people now?" Mary asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" Xavier said.

"You are the one famous out of both of us." Mary said.

"And you are the wife of the famous billionaire." Xavier said.

"It's hopeless...." Mary sighed.

Just as she said this, a cheerful looking young girl wearing a pink dress along with a guy her age wearing a suit approached their table. "Hello! You are Xavier right. I'm Ruby and this is my twin brother Aqua." She said merrily pointing at her brother. Both the twins were blonde with blue eyes. If the word cute was described by a person it would be her.

"Yeah....I'm Xavier Tyson." He said sounding gloomy all of a sudden. Mary now understood why he had no friends.

"And she's your girlfriend I suppose.....?" She said looking at Mary now. A disgusted expression came on both Mary and Xavier's faces as they heard her assumption.
