At the reception, everyone was dancing (Belle and Shawn got a dance contest started), except for Susan, Kevin, and J.T. and Isaac, of course. Chloe whispered to her new husband that they should get Kevin and Susan to dance together.
"I noticed Kevin looking at Susan like she was a celebrity while the minister was rambling on," Chloe encouraged.
"Alright," Brady gave in. "You can go play matchmaker; I'll talk with the eight-year-olds."
"You should be able to relate to them easily," Chloe commented. "You have the maturity of an eight-year-old." She smiled.
"Ha ha, very funny," Brady remarked, shooing her away. Chloe practically skipped over to Kevin.
Oh great, thought Susan, now Kevin'll get up and dance and I'll be the only one over ten years old that's not dancing.
"Kevin," Chloe started, sitting down in a chair next to him, "I say you looking at Susan at the ceremony. Talk about stars in the eyes. Go and ask her to dance!"
Kevin looked down at his shoes and shook his head.
"Nah, she'd say no." He looked back up at Chloe. "Besides, why dance when I can design shoes that'll dance for me?"
Chloe grinned and rolled her eyes. "Get off your millionaire butt, Kevin. Go ask her to dance!" Kevin looked reluctant. "Now!" Chloe encouraged.
Kevin shook his head and make some unintelligible noises.
"Stand up," Chloe commanded. Kevin groaned, Chloe insisted, and Kevin obeyed.
"Now go over there and ask her to dance!" Chloe exclaimed. Kevin didn't move. Chloe pushed him in Susan's direction, and when he started walking on his own, he was ready to turn back around. Chloe twirled him back around and held his shoulders, pushing him slowly toward Susan. Once Chloe had pushed Kevin about 3 feet in front of Susan, she bolted. It's up to Kevin now, Chloe thought, smiling. She watched Kevin put his hands in his pockets and chat with Susan. Ugh! Chloe groaned in exasperation.
"H-hi, Susan," Kevin said. Well, I'm here now, why turn back? Kevin thought.
"Hi," Susan greeted.
"So...how are you doing? What are you doing?"
"I work for the Basic Black company. I'm actually a model for the plus-size clothes. What do you do now?"
"I'm not famous yet, but I'm starting up my own company. Hopefully, the money'll be rolling in sometime soon. There are a couple of kinks to work out, but I can fix them pretty quickly."
"Cool," Susan said.
"Well..." Oh great. Why am I nervous? Kevin thought.
"Do you want to get back to your table and watch Belle and Shawn make fools of everyone else on the dance floor?"
Perfect! Kevin thought. It came to me!
"Hey, why don't we go make fools of ourselves on the dance floor with everyone else?"
Susan laughed and seemed shy.
"Come on!" Kevin had become as persistent as Chloe. He extended his hand, and Susan hesitated, then took it. Kevin dragged Susan to the middle of the floor and started doing the most ridiculous moves that anyone'd ever seen. Everyone backed away, creating a little circle of space around Kevin as he did his outrageous dance. Kevin grabbed Susan's hand and pulled her into the circle. The song "I Need to Know" by Marc Anthony began, and everyone watched as Kevin and Susan expertly tangoed.
Chloe laughed in joy. A perfect match, Chloe thought.
After Susan and Kevin's tango, John announced that it was time for the bride and groom to dance in spotlight.
Chloe shouted to John, "No way! I'm not going to try to upstage Kevin and Susan! It's impossible anyway!"
Then the title song from Phantom of the Opera started. Chloe's mind changed pretty quickly; she grabbed her husband and went into the circle after Kevin and Susan left willingly. Chloe and Brady even sang as they danced. The song was over before they knew it. Then a song by Dido began.
"Brady!" Chloe exclaimed. Brady's eyes melted down to her. He fell in love with his name every time she said it. "I love this song, "Thank You."
"You're welcome," he replied from habit. Chloe laughed at her new husband.
