A feeling of dread enveloped her as soon as Apple entered the swimming pool area where the party was taking place and found that all eyes were on her. She could feel the sharp gazes of all of them, who were staring at her scornfully.
However, she knew it was because of the man next to her, who was half hugging her body and it was this man who earned her the hostile stares of the women here.
So, subconsciously, Apple's instincts told her to stay away from Jayden. She didn't want to get into any trouble tonight, nor to cause a mess at Jayden's cousin's party which she was attending for the first time.
However, Jayden did not agree with Apple's intentions. He didn't want to be away from her and after all, why should Apple avoid him anyway? He wanted to show that he had someone by his side and that was Apple, because he was proud to have her, so they could walk away from him for all he cared.
"Where are you going?" Jayden asked, raising an eyebrow at Apple. "Are you leaving already? We can go now if you want," Jayden said as he whispered into Apple's ear. He leaned in so that the gesture looked very affectionate in these people's eyes.
Jayden then looked at Apple with a look that seemed to say; I warned you that you wouldn't like being here.
And this of course made them go crazy because they didn't accept Apple being treated like that, while they could only watch from the sidelines.
Apple gasped when she felt Jayden's warm breath on the nape of her neck, but then she thought; fuck these people. Why should she feel guilty for walking in public with her boyfriend? Especially when they obviously came to enjoy a party they were both invited to. So why should Apple care about their discomfort and make herself restless?
With that in mind, Apple boldly took Jayden's hand and tiptoed slightly while holding his shoulder to whisper tenderly into the man's ear, just like he did earlier.
"Of course not, let's have a drink. I am thirsty." Apple smiled as she finished whispering to Jayden and felt the hot gazes of the ladies. Just let them seeth. Hohoho…
Seeing the smile on Apple's lips and knowing what was going on inside this girl's head, Jayden laughed softly. Apple could be very cunning if she wanted to and this turned him on.
Quickly, Jayden stole a peck on her lips and smirked when he saw Apple blink her eyes.
"What was that for?" asked Apple.
"Because you're so pretty tonight," Jayden replied lightly and that made Apple laugh, a crisp laugh that he loved so much. He wished he could hear it more often.
"Hey, you two… you can make out later," Gladys said as she walked over to the two of them, but she smiled cheekily when she saw the two of them being all lovey dovey. "You can go over there first and get your drinks before you two get all the attention of my friends."
Apple laughed bitterly at Gladys. "You said that there had been some people who missed this event…" she then glanced at the swimming pool which was filled with people and also some of them, who were walking to and from. Clearly, this party was anything but a lonely one. "But I don't see that you have a shortage of people at your party."
"Oh, I invited about thirty-five of my friends, but there were three who didn't come, of course it wasn't too crowded." Gladys defended herself.
Now, Apple was curious how many people had to be invited if she threw a party, if having this many had made her think they were very few.
"Okay," Apple said quietly. She didn't want to argue about this and immediately pulled Jayden over to the open bar overlooking the beach. "We'll get our drinks first then."
Jayden just followed Apple, his eyes were only on this girl.
"I think I'm wearing too many clothes," Apple said, after they sat down and ordered their drinks, glancing at the pretty girls just hanging around in bikinis.
"Don't be silly," Jayden pinched Apple's cheek. "I'll carry you to our room if you're only wearing your bra and panties."
Apple laughed when she heard that, of course she wouldn't. It was okay, there was nothing wrong with wearing a bikini, but she was just not very comfortable wearing a two piece swimsuit.
"Those are not bras and panties, but bikinis," Apple corrected Jayden and he just shrugged nonchalantly.
"It's the same in my eyes," he said lightly.
And after that, the two of them ignored the piercing stares that were directed at them while the two of them talked to each other, chatting about completely unimportant to trivial matters, but somehow both of them liked this 'small talk'. And imperceptibly, Apple had downed a few glasses of wine.
"Looks like we have to go back to our room," Jayden said, when he saw Apple starting to look tipsy. "You said just a glass or two."
Apple pursed her lips. She didn't want to go back, she still wanted to enjoy the night here, together with Jayden, staring at his handsome face with moonlight above them and pleasant music in the background.
"I don't want to..." refused Apple, alcohol seemed to have affected her.
But, not far from them, there was a girl carrying a large bowl of fruit juice and walking toward Apple and Jayden.
They didn't know where she would take the fruit juice, but she certainly shouldn't be walking toward the two of them.
And if Apple and Jayden had looked at her more closely, they would have seen the narrow look in her eyes, as if she was up to something, while two of her friends were standing behind her, giggling.
The three of them looked drunk.
Because Jayden had his back to the girl, it was Apple who clearly saw her arrival from behind Jayden's shoulder. She frowned.
