Just Friends

CHAPTER- 30

"What's that?"

"It's a geometry thing. A is equal to B. B is equal to C. Then A is equal to C." Matt grinned.

"You're such a nerd!" Jade laughed.

"But the nerd got a smile to your face." He said.

Jade smiled, "Yes he did."

"So you came?"He asked.

"So I came."

"So did you speak to Alec?"

"So... No I've been a coward."

"So you're going to ignore him?"

"So.... Well yes kind of." Jade said laughing at her own stupidity.

How did she expect to ignore someone in their own house, during their engagement party.

"That's going to be tough." Matt said with a grin.

"You can say that again."

They both looked at each other and started laughing.
.....................
So she had come.

And she had got that doctor with her again.

Alec was supposed to be talking to Sheriff Preston. But instead of paying attention to what he was saying Alec was busy trying to catch glimpses of Jade.

The room was crowded and people kept coming in the way.

She was standing near the back of the room with Matt and they were talking and exchanging huge smiles.

"Alec... Sorry Sheriff can I borrow my fiancé for a minute?" Emma came from nowhere and stood next to Alec.

"Sure! Sure!" The jolly man guffawed.

Emma pulled Alec by his arm and started walking across the room with her hand tightly wound around his arm.

"Susan is introducing my parents to Amanda and her husband... It's Stuart right? So I thought we should introduce Jade too." She started saying while she dragged him in the general direction of where Jade was standing.

"She looks busy. Later maybe." Alec tried to make excuses.

Emma turned her face to him with a grin on it, "They look so cute, don't they?"

"They?"

"Matt and Jade! I invited Matt myself. I think they really look good together."

So Emma had invited Matt and not Jade.

Was Emma trying to act matchmaker with those two?

By the time Alec digested the fact that Emma was trying to get them together, they reached the place where they were standing.

"Jade!" Emma exclaimed and hugged her.

This was the girl who somedays back had spilled wine on Jade's dress.

"I'm so glad you could make it." Emma continued once they pulled back from the hug.

"I had to come. And anyways... Congratulation! I have to see the ring."

"Thanks! Here..." Emma held out her hand with a smile and Jade saw the ring which Alec had given her.

It was a traditional ring with a square cut diamond set in a platinum ring.

"It beautiful." Jade said, "Not bad Alec."

Alec who had been staring at Jade till then managed to bring a small smile on his face.
