Chapter 69
“I-… umm. I couldn’t find-…” Blake blinked a few times and shook
his head. “I couldn’t find Rosy but she’s here, so yeah” he finally
managed. He cleared his throat a little at the end and tried looking
around, trying to keep his eyes off me.
“Yes, here I am. You look very handsome Blake” I said, with the big
smile still plastered on my face. I was so enjoying this.
Blake had a black 3 piece suit on with a black bow tie. He had his
hair gelled back a little different than normal but he looked very
edible.
He adjusted his tie a little and looked away. He didn’t have a
comeback? That was weird.
“Right, this isn’t awkward at all. Maybe we should go inside mum” Emily laughed.
“Sure darling. Rosy, will you be sitting with us?” Sue asked as she
adjusted her dress. She quickly turned around to look at herself in the
mirror behind her.
“Well, Blake has an extra chair for his plus one at your table. If he

is okay with it, I can sit with you.” I tangled my hands together and twisted my ring.
Sue smiled at me. Her smile reaching her eyes and it made me
happy. They were accepting me. All of me.
“Okay well, we shall let you guys sort that out. Come soon, Blake.”
Nate put his elbow out for Sue. They linked arms and Nate walked
towards Blake and said something to him in his ear. Blake nodded and
rubbed his face. Nate patted him on the shoulder and they walked
into the hall arm in arm. Emily was right behind them.
I looked up at Blake. He was staring in the direction his family had
gone. What was with him? He was acting so weird. He normally had
so many compliments for me. Did he really have nothing to say
today? Fuxk, did I not look nice? His reaction told me that he was
taken back by my look but maybe I read him wrong. I had never
dressed up like this around him and maybe he didn’t like it.
Once the Coopers disappeared, I cleared my throat trying to get
Blake’s attention. When he turned to look at me, his eyes were pitch
black. Those dark orbs had gotten darker and they looked terrifying.
But how did that happen? The lightning hadn’t changed. What the
hell? He must have seen my reaction and he quickly turned his head
and rubbed his eyes.
“I’m sorry my contacts are itchy,” he said.

He didn’t weNT CONTBLES.
“That’s okay. Will it be okay if I seat with you guys at your cable?
Sech had put me on Texor’s table but for obvious reasons. I can’t go
there I was shaking a lidle. Did I look that back
“Yeah, that’s fine. Dad said he was going to announce the
engagement after his welcome speech. Pops had to fy our of the

“Okay. How do you want to do this then I was wrying to keep my
volice as even as possible. My chest was really tight and I knew I
would start crying at any moment. My plan to tease Blake backfired
and I was feeling a little heartbroken. Everyone else seems to think I
locked good, what was his problem?
I quickly turned towards the minor to check my makeup. I knew it
would have smudged a little from how high my anxiety was now.
These was a low grow behind me and I hooked up at Blake’s reflection
in the mirror. He was staring at me like a hungry man seeing food for
the first time. I saw his eyes wander down my back and linger around
any boun
I cleared my throat and his eyes snapped back up to mine. He
adjusted his jacket and put out his right arm for me to take. I took a
deep breath and placed my hand on his extended arm. He still wasn’t

looking at me. He adjusted his tie and blew some air out.
“Ready?” He asked and didn’t even wait for my reply. He started
walking and I followed.
As we got to the door, I put on a smile and kept my head down. My
left hand was on display with the ring sparkling under all the lights. I
heard a few gasps and some even went quiet. I mustered the courage
and looked up to find lots of eyes on us. People were clearing the way
for us as well. There were a lot of people we knew in the crowd. Some
had shocked looks on their faces, others had smirks or smiles. People
had been talking about us for a while and now it was all official.
Patrick and his wife were sitting at the table over from the
Coopers. He was staring at us while trying to get Brady’s attention.
Brady was the Assistant General Manager and a massive pain in the
ass.
We walked past the Callum’s table and I saw Taylor and Rocky
smiling at us. Taylor gave me two thumbs up and clapped her hands a
little. However, the rest of the group didn’t look so delighted,
especially Vince. I didn’t even know why he bothered to come after
what happened.
“I will break his face if he comes close to you even by accident.
You are mine now, he needs to keep his hands and his eyes off” Blake
muttered under his breath.

Chapter 69
That’s what he has to say? Was he serious?
He slowed down once we got to the table. We walked around to
our seat and he pulled the chair out for me.
“Thank you but I can manage” I whispered.
He ignored me and pushed the chair in as I sat down before taking
his seat next to me. He grabbed a glass of water and in one big gulp,
he emptied the glass. I rolled my eyes. Here I was thinking he would
be hot and bothered by how good I looked tonight but this asshole
didn’t even care.
