I saw Zoey's mother- in -law welcoming us all.

We went towards the backyard; I must say it was huge.

A big pool and the trees were enlighted with white dim light to make the environment more romantic. Everyone was busy greeting each other.

The champagne glass pyramid caught my attention.

"Look," I excitedly grabbed Zach's hand.

"It's beautiful," I added.

He smiled at my childish behavior. On the right, there was a small stage for the couple. It was decorated with white and purple flowers.

Everything enthralled me from inside. 

"Would you like a drink?" Zach rested his palm on my waist.

"Only if you accompany me," I smiled.

We headed towards the bar that was across the pool. We settled ourselves on the barstool.

"Lemon water," I purred in a lower voice.

"No, a dirty martini for the lady," Zach changed my order.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"I have never tried all this," I just waved my hand towards the drinks served by the bartender.

"I can see that. And that is why I want you to try something new with me."

He winked at me.

It made me blush.

"What about the after-effects? I wanted to be sober. I don't know how my drunk phase will look like?" I questioned.

He dragged his chair near me.

"Then I am more interested to see that," He replied while keeping my hair strands behind my ears.

"I think I will drink a little then," I answered him in a nervous tone.

"We will see." He passed the glass and raised it for cheers.

Soon Luka and Clara joined us. We four were enjoying and, suddenly, Clara's and Luka's expression changed.

"Hello, guys," A familiar voice echoed in my ear.

I turned and saw it's Xander. He said hello to everyone, and I was shocked by his presence.

Why he can't leave me alone for just one day? He shook Zach's and Luka's hand, but he greeted Clara and me with a kiss on the cheek.

That was not acceptable and expected from us.

I mean, he treated his juniors like humans. We three were talking through our eyes. What is he doing here? Who invited him?

He was busy talking to Zach, facing their backs towards us.

I yanked at Clara's hand; glared at her.

"What is he doing here?"

"He is Zoey's brother-in-law,"

When I heard her words, I literally choked and started coughing.

Zach came running towards me.

"Hey, are you ok?" He slowly patted my bareback.

"Come sit here. Take it slowly, babe," He said.

"I am fine," I mustered a smile as I was getting killer looks from my bully.

Zach went back to talk to Xander, and I pulled Clara's hand.

"You knew it already? Why didn't you tell me. I am going to kill you,"

I said in my pissed off voice.

"If I would have told you, would you come? I want you to ignore him. Just make him invisible in your eyes," She answered.

Luka was listening quietly.

Suddenly we heard the noise. The couple was on the stage and ready to exchange their rings.

Everyone surrounded them.

We walked near them as they look so beautiful together.

We were cheering up for them; I was holding Clara's and Luka's hand, and Zach and Xander were standing behind us, still talking.

They exchanged their rings, and Raphael kissed Zoey.

"Aww," I threw a flying kiss to them.

We were in the moment, and suddenly Raphael signaled DJ to play a song for them. Everyone started cheering up for them to dance.

I found a love for me

Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead

Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet

Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time

But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own

And in your eyes, you're holding mine

 

I could feel the love between them; they were dancing alone, looking into each other's eyes. He was holding her like he was holding his life.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets

 

My emotions were high, and a tear came out of my eyes.

"Hey," Clara caught me off-guard.

"Nothing, they are just beautiful." I held her hand tightly.

We were appreciating the sight without words keeping the tears of happiness in our eyes.

Zach came and looked at me in teary eyes,

 

"So, she is emotional too," He clenched my waist.

"Stop," softly, I slapped on his shoulder.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Zach whispered in my ears.

I could hear a low growl coming from my back. When I turned Xander was burning in anger. 

Before I said anything to Zach, he pulled me on the floor to dance with him.

I tried to read Xander's expression, why he was getting angry with me.
