Lunch Party (1)

Bella felt excited and eager to host all her friends and some of Tristan's colleagues.

"Has your friend arrived?" Tristan asked, placing his hands on her waist and pulling her closer.

Bella smiled at him, letting him fix her hair. "Yes. Noora just informed me that Sam and Gael had already arrived. They're talking with Dylan and Bryan in the living room."

Tristan looked into her eyes lovingly before asking, "What about Sean? Is he coming?" His tone was casual, but Bella could see the tension in his eyes.

"I'm not sure about him," Bella replied. She hadn't heard from Sean since their last meeting and didn't know if he would appear today. 

Tristan didn't press further. Instead, his hand rose and released her hair, letting it fall down her back, causing Bella to protest with her gaze.

"Why did you do that? I liked my bun," she asked with a frown.
