Ch 18
The club was filled. There were dancing,games,a photo booth,lots of food,and the decor was so beautiful.Alot of the guests pulled me aside to say that this is the best engagement party that they ever attended. The only person who didn't seem to enjoy themselves was Veronica but that's her loss.
While I was slow dancing with Sammy we had a short conversation
"Thank you for making today terrific. This is better than I could have ever imagined" I told him
"This is all your doing. You and your sister are the ones that spent weeks organizing this event. I should be thanking you. My family loves it"
" Yeah but without your money I" before I could have finished my sentence he lifted my chin so I can look at up at him and he stared at me intensely and huffed before saying
" Money doesn't matter to me. I love you Annabel and I would do anything to put a smile on your face" he told me
I can tell he was genuine and he looked like he was searching my eyes for something. My heart was racing but I couldn't pull my eyes away from his beautiful eyes for the life of me. But when the song ended it woke me up and I told him I needed some fresh air which honestly wasn't a lie. I felt the tension between us and I just needed a breather so I rushed out of the dance floor before he had a chance to respond.
Before I went outside I put on my coat because it was snowing alot outside and it was very cold. Then all of a sudden I saw my sister coming outside with a coat on too
"Katherine, what are you doing out here?" I ask
"No Annabel, what are you doing out here?I saw you run out of the club. Are you okay" she asks worried
"Yeah, I was just dancing with Sammy but I just needed some fresh air."
"Is this about Sammy?"
Before i could answer she asked
"Do you want to be with Sammy?"
" No. Of course not!" I told her
"You know Annabel, in the beginning I thought you were in denial about wanting to be with Sammy, but I realized something these past few weeks when I saw all of your interactions with Sammy. This isn't fake for you. You know you want to be with him. When you were dancing with Sammy, you were looking at him like he is the love of your life. Admit it, you want to get back together with Sammy"
"I dont know what you are talking about?" I deny
"Please don't insult my intelligence. We are sisters. I care about you and I am on your side so just be honest with me. How long after you broke up with Sammy did you want to get back together with him? "
I closed my eyes for a second before just saying it.
" 4 weeks" I said softly
"4 weeks. You guys broke up 4 months ago. Why didn't you get back together with him 3 months ago?"
"It is not that easy" I insist
"What do you mean that it is not that easy to get back with him?You know Sammy would of taken you back in a heartbeat. You and I both know he is still in love with you. This engagement party is not fake for him either. So I am asking again, Why didn't you get back together with him 3 months ago?"
"Don't judge me but it's because of what people will think of me. For goodness sake Dad seemed like he was close to disowning me when I said Sammy and I aa were getting back together. My bestfriends don't want me to even be his aquaintance. Initially I wasn't even planning to tell them that it was a fake engagement but they got bat shit crazy on me when I told them Sammy and I engagement is back on. They were disgustaed that I had the audacity to get back together with him and were very disappointed in me. I am also ashamed of myself. What does it say about me that I will be willing to be with someone that kills for a living? I feel so guilty that I still have feelings for him. How fucked up would it be that I am going to become a doctor but I will marry a killer who is not even ashamed of the countless crimes he commits?" I finally confess
"Annabel, I disapprove of Sammy's actual career but at the end of the day, you have to stop caring about what other people think about you or say about you. Your friends,family or etc. will eventually get over your decision but if they don't fuck them. All of our family members know who Sammy really is and they still showed up to support you . Some maybe even came to be nosy but so what. This is your life and you need to do what makes you happy and Sammy makes you happy and you make him happy. You need to stop making both of yourselves miserable and just follow your heart." She told me
Don't forget to comment.Were any of you surprised by Annabel's confession?Do you think Annabel would listen to her sister's advice? Should she even listen to her sister advice?
